If you're an unarmed black male teen, you get shot dead.
If you're an elected MO legislator, you get arrested.

But you'd better do what the Ferguson PD tells you to do, see, or you're taking your life and liberty into your hands.

7. Reports this morning are quoting her as saying she did it on purpose.

3. All of this over time ... to me, the entire Ferguson police force needs to be removed and replaced

with better screening of applicants. The entire operation should be removed. Incidents seem endless. It looks to me like they often arrange situations so incidents will occur so they can bully the citizens. It's an endless pattern. Where is the state of MO in all of this. State oversight seems absent.

4. Well, I do know that Attorney General Holder announced that the Deptartment of Justice

has launched an inquiry into the policies and practies of the Ferguson PD (although I don't have a link to same).

What blows me away right now is that the Mayberry Machiavelli Chief (Jackson) is still gainfully employed there Not to mention that it has been 70-some days since Wilson executed Brown andWilson is still not under arrest and facing trial.

5. Whenever I see him interviewed, he sounds like a real bozo and worse. It amazes me

too he is still there. It just seems like they set up a playing field for incidents over and over again. The whole thing is just absolutely incredible. The cops in many parts of the US are out of control IMO.

8. And now the repukes

are saying she had a gun on her and refused a breath test. Such liars
