Police officers shot at in Ferguson

Police officers shot at. I guess the tables have been turned. I checked a friend of my daughter through an online government agency website and the cop earned $186, 000.00 last year. WTF is going on. I have two sons in the military getting shot at by frigging Muslim freedom fighters and they don't earn a quarter of that pay and risk their lives every day while this home boy cop collects beaucoup pay because his mf union threatens citizens that they will strike and chaos will run rampant in the streets. Who are the terrorists?

*The college-bound teen was shot at least six times by police officer Darren Wilson and his body was left in the street for several hours before it was removed

.* .......While an investigation on the incident was taken place.

It seems beyond incredible that a community of Ferguson's size can support salaries for its police officers of $186,000. The average salary for police officers in the St. Louis area falls between $30,000 and $40,000. It's amazing to me that you could look at that number and believe it enough to convey it here.

It is good news, especially for their families, that the wounded officers are expected to make complete recoveries.

However, thanks to so many publicized events of police firing indiscriminately and without provocation at unarmed civilians, there are some who will take the tack that it is "kill or be killed" when dealing with the police. In a recent article in The Atlantic, James Forman Jr. tackles that question of "What happens when the criminal justice system extends its tentacles into every part of a community's daily life?'

In an small victory, I was pleased to see the homeless woman in CA who was captured on video receiving a brutal beating from a real thug of a cop receive a payment that will help her through the rest of her life. (As a taxpayer, on the other hand, I would rather these situations never happen in the first place.)

The chief of police of Ferguson recently went public with an apology to the community and to the family of Michael Brown for leaving his body lying in the street for so many hours. (Something he said, should never have happened.) But what he didn't apologize for, and perhaps because it wasn't called to his attention was the complete lie the police told about the distance Brown's body was from Wilson's vehicle.

The cops reported to the media it was around 35 feet. Eyewitnesses made the distance as much farther. Based on all the video evidence, forensic examiners know the exact location of the police vehicle, as well as Brown's body. The actual distance is closer to 100 feet. One hundred feet away leaves little doubt of an unarmed man in flight and not anyone contemplating a bum-rush in the opposite direction. Why did the Ferguson police make such an egregious and obvious misstatement of the truth?

How lucky that everyone has guns over there.

Two police officers were shot at and one wounded late Saturday near the flashpoint city of Ferguson, Missouri

The same things took place in Kiev (Ukraine) ....

This is Maidan my friends ....

Thugs shooting at cops surprises you? Criminals don't observe laws, like the murderer in Oklahoma who had only spent 11 months in prison, serving 3 separate convictions simultaneously instead of consecutively, and then after being fired for various reasons including threatening violence on coworkers who refused to convert to islam, and then went on a knife-wielding rampage.

This shooting is just another thug-vs-cop crime that has been happening as far back (and before) Alcohol Prohibition.
