Ferguson: too much or not enough?

[Minimalist]

So that means we have to accept the abuses of uniformed thugs, Drippy?

What is wrong with trying to weed out the bad apples...and, btw, at the same time send a message to the rest of them that their mission is to "protect and serve" not "shoot on sight."

Who gets to decide what an abuse is? Who identifies the bad apples? The ones being being arrested? The Linch mob making death threats to the officer and his family? How will this be resolved looting?

Certainly not someone like you. So you are ready to trust the cops to investigate each other, eh? Wonder how that works out.....

In Wisconsin...the findings were so egregious that they actually got that republicunt shithead Walker to sign a bill calling for outside investigation of police shootings....as if other cops won't cover up for their brothers in blue anyway. Why did they do this?

Nationwide, officer involved deaths are routinely investigated by their coworkers resulting in an impossible record of perfection. In Wisconsin alone, an "unjustified" ruling by an officer's department or commission cannot be found in 125 years.

A Nassau County police officer shot an unarmed man in the back. Another intentionally ran down an unarmed man with his squad car, costing him a leg. Still another shot an unarmed cabdriver after a night of drinking off duty.

In each case, department investigators reviewed the use of deadly force and reached the same conclusion within a day: The officer’s actions were justified.

A Newsday investigation into the Nassau County Police Department’s use of deadly force found cases where officers fired on suspects after incorrectly believing they were armed, shot people later convicted of no crime at all, and took action that a jury would later call excessive, resulting in one civil settlement of more than $15 million.

Yet each time, Nassau police’s deadly force investigators validated the officer’s actions.

I suppose someone who uncritically believes the bullshit you believe will accept just about anything that an authority figure tells you. You should work on being less of a credulous fool.
