absolutely understand the distrust. Many havent acted in a trustworthy manner. But what you have said in regards to the investigation, they in power need to understand that to take an officer to task IS protecting serving the public where that officer failed.gimmesometruth27 said:
they have called the fbi in to do an investigation. st louis county police are doing one too. they are independent of the ferguson police dept. they are doing toxicology tests on the body, and those take 4-6 weeks. by that time the rioting should have been calm for weeks. and then when the results make the news, it might start up again. the bottom line is people do not trust the cops to do an investigation of one of their own. i think this is where the strife is coming from, because everybody and their mom thinks that this cop is going to walk and that the shooting will have been justified in some way.mickeyrat said:
keep a group of people down long enough and have them fed with images of things and goot mine attitudes, then I think that naturally breeds a coveting of same things so they say "got mines"gimmesometruth27 said:yeah this is happening right by me.
fucking idiots.
they are having peaceful vigils and prayer services and people are showing up with guns.
thinking violence is going to get their point across and gain them sympathy.
here, most people, black and white alike, are offended by what is happening here.
peace is why martin luther king is remembered and malcolm x is largely forgotten.
Those leaders of the CR movements work wasnt done. They still need to be even more so outspoken to rally to the just cause and not the selfish "got mines"
Hope it calms soon.
We have a new chief. First female. Just dealt with a uniformed officer who was taking pills. Transcript of the hearing she chaired with this guy was published. She wasnt taking any shit. this gives me hope for our PD. http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/2014/07/21/columbus-ohio-columbus-police-officer-fights-to-keep-badge-after-pain-pill-investigation.html
