Obama and Ferguson

[Brian37]

Obama plays to the crowd and of course he doesn't care about Darren Wilson. Other than a strong arm robbery once and a while Michael Brown was a gentle soul.

I don't know how fast the incident at ferguson unfolded but a taser seems like it would have been a viable option.

How many times do I have to repeat this. REGARDLESS of what you saw on that store camera we do not need to be training police to be James Bond with a licence to kill.

Again in my personal life I have seen MY "friends" do far worse to the point of bleeding. I have seen people resist cops who do not end up dead.

You don't care about the conditions that led Brown to do what he did. You do not care about the conditions that led Wilson to do what he did.

Brown was shot over petty theft and to call a mere shove strong armed robbery is bullshit. I have seen bar fights and frat fights with far worse injuries where no one ended up dead or even in jail.

Wilson went into that call assuming guilt. Wilson went into that call with a bad attitude. Wilson tried to get out of the car AFTER he knew Brown was not going to obey. If he was that concerned with his own safety no sane person is going to pull up 2 feet to someone dangerous, then try to open the car door.

Brown's death was avoidable. The person in the power position BLEW IT by making a very bad decision to confront him with an abusive tone and grabbing at Brown at a tactical disadvantage.

If Wilson had been concerned about his own safety and Brown staying alive he would have kept his distance from the start. Wilson went into that call with his training to dominate. He went into that call because of typical male testosterone. He made excuses after the fact and compartmentalized his excuses after the fact.

And then idiots like you think killing people is ok just because they have a badge. Wilson called for backup, he could have kept his distance and waited instead of confronting Brown alone.

You're ignorance of a very long term systemic problem is pathetic.

You care about cops? GREAT, then maybe we should not be giving them a license to kill. Maybe we need to improve living conditions. Maybe we need to improve cop training. Maybe we need to get gun makers and the NRA to stop scaring the crap out of cops and society to sell guns to both.

And explain to me how basketball shorts can hold a heavy object like a gun? If Brown really had a gun and was running away, that object would have fallen out.

Now cut the crap. If you care about the safety of cops or the conditions of the society that they work in, or the society itself, your narrow minded Dirty Harry blame game is garbage.
