    rr to first post: Definitely true, no doubt about it. In this particular case, the immediate scene was clear of potential victims.

    Thirty, get what your saying and I will always support cops protecting themselves. My concern is that there are many very good hardworking honest people even in the "ghetto" and working there should reinforce this fact. I don't see this and that's a problem.

    Now do believe everyone needs to blow off steam as I do on this board. Oh and you as well HA.

    For me, dreaded reading the script. It was sad and know that current police procedures work.

    I agree that the problem is really crappy. The 'fix' isn't robocops though. The fix must be rooted in economic policies and social programming that offer people, at a bare minimum, hope- rather than the current system which squashes anyone that can't play sports at an extremely high level.

    Good luck with that though.

    Yes, the NYPD has spent $23 mil in overtime since the protests began, but left unmentioned: that's exactly what they were going to spend anyway

    The Northern California cop who tweeted threats to protesters over the weekend has been suspended, police said.

    San Jose police officials put Officer Phillip White on leave after they learned he made threatening tweets directed at demonstrators protesting decisions in the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases.

    Does this ring a bell? Where have you heard this before?

    On his previously public Twitter account, McNamara has chimed in about the Ferguson shooting of Michael Brown by officer Darren Wilson, stating on Nov. 26 "I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6," and stating of protesters "You'll burn the American flag but you're quick to cash that Obama check! Parasites." He has many more tweets of that ilk.

    Over the past two years, McNamara has been commenting on YouTube videos — mostly about black people and law enforcement — regularly dropping racial and gay slurs, unambiguously expressing hatred towards minorities and anyone who dare not comply with what police say. He calls black people in videos "jungle monkeys," "spooks," and worse. He commented on a video of a young black child swearing, saying "This is how cop killers are raised my friends." He's also a fan of when police officers shoot and rough up non-compliant civilians. The comments appeared on his Youtube and Google+ accounts that were deleted yesterday (we'll explain in a bit). Here's a selection:

    Story about the latest black guy killed by police in Philly. Locally some are saying that Brown once out of the car told police he had a gun in the car and that's when one officer freaked out and attacked him, although it's not mentioned in the piece (prob because it's unverified info)
    In any case mum been the word on the incident. What has been reported doesn't add up.

    so every article talks about untaxed cigs. Are they saying then he had in his possesion untaxstamped smokes? or was he suspected of selling individual cigs that came from PURCHASED cigs that had the state stamp and then aid city tax on?

    I want some clarification on this from somewhere.

    I can clarify this for you.. He was performing his daily JOB that consisted of doing illegal shit like selling loosie"s and getting himself locked up over 30 times in his life. You make bad choices in life, expect Bad things to happen…like dying of a heart attack an hour after resisting arrest. But hey, now he is a Martyr….and his family hit the ghetto lottery. BIZARRO WORLD JERRY!!!!

    Lots of folks make bad/illegal choices. The guys who tanked the economy with illegal/bad choices, the politicians who started wars for profit, the doctors who deal RX drugs, the cops/judges/prosecutors who commit all manner of minor illegal offenses...why aren't they arrested? Why are they invited to hearings and Garner gets physically detained? Why are our prisons filled with black and hispanic drug offenders when statistics show white people do lots of drugs? It isn't as simple as bad choices equal bad consequences, thus the questions of racism and the protesting.

    So what do we do?

    What you are saying has merit, but realistically, what can we do as puppets of our puppet masters?

    Are you suggesting we ignore street crime until we figure out a way to take down the white collar criminal element?
