The cop is the symptom of the problem. The problem is that the fucking cops are out of control and armed to the teeth by the Pentagon.
... and armored by a blue wall of silence.
It's been bad enough in SoCal for decades that despite having a couple LEOs in my family, I think that every death in police custody/interview ought to be reviewed by a grand jury. IA departments have no sway inside any city dept, and are treated as the Enemy by beat cops and detectives.

Probably because robbery is not a capital offense, and even if it were, he hadn't had a trial with a seated jury and impartial judge.
Or are you suggesting that you think it's fine to kill someone for matching an APB description?

Quote:Egypt on Tuesday urged U.S. authorities to exercise restraint in dealing with racially charged demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri - echoing language Washington used to caution Egypt as it cracked down on Islamist protesters last year. It is unusual for Egypt to criticize such a major donor. Ties between Washington and Cairo were strained after Egyptian security forces killed hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood supporters following the army's ousting of freely elected President Mohamed Morsi in July 2013.
At least it wasn't the Dutch!

What does this ferguson stuff have to do with rick?
ME is "Medical Examiner".
Attempt at re-railment: Ferguson has long been far too much. Cops overreacting, the local government overreacting, and the federal government overreacting now with the National Fucking Guard.
Just FYI, the state's governor calls out the state's National Guard units for domestic duty, and not the Federal government, which can only activate them for duty out of the home state.
