So...The police do not get first amendment rights to complain then? And is anyone else freakin sick to death of the "hand up, don't shoot" LIE. The grand jury, which was multi-ethnic, necessarily found that to be BS.
Yeah.... I'm beyond sick to death of the BS. The facts are in with this case - and it's from independent witnesses, testifying to a mixed race Grand Jury. The "celebration" is the celebration of the thug/thieve/scum lifestyle. This guy is sick of it, too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSrMaPB2Dg0Saw another guy on Fox with Heather Childers (Faux and Fiends First) the other day and he had the same arguments. At the end, she asked him for final thoughts, and when he started down the path of saying he is hoping and praying for people to come together - and then mentioned Jesus Christ - all this in about 3 seconds. At that point, Heather cut him off in what has become the Faux News tradition....so he could not continue down that path. It was pretty amazing....something like Faux would accuse all the other channels of doing! |

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

It always seems strange to me, but I guess some people just can't help it.... but I just gotta ask - are there really NFL fans out there? (National Felons League).

And Roorda himself, it turns out, has a checkered past...
In 2001, Jeff Roorda was fired as a police officer in the St. Louis suburb of Arnold, Missouri, for falsifying reports in 1997 and again in 2001.
In spite of being fired for police misconduct in 2001, Roorda was hired as chief of police in neighboring Kimmswick, Missouri, the following year.
Two years later, in 2004, Roorda ran for and won a seat in the Missouri state House of Representatives, where he soon was placed on the statewide Public Safety Committee.
In 2005, Roorda wrote House Bill 396, which would allow police officers to — and this is an exact quote from his bill —"collect hazardous samples without court approval, document and then destroy them, and make them admissible." While it didn't pass, it is a shocking peek into the mind of Roorda.
In 2013, police assaulted a teenager in handcuffs, but were found not-guilty—with the support of Roorda, working in a new capacity as an executive with the St. Louis police union.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/10/22/1338366/-How-can-Gov-Nixon-call-for-peace-in-Ferguson-when-Jeff-Roorda-is-his-closest-ally#
In early 2014, Roorda wrote and sponsored House Bill 1466, which would change the Missouri sunshine laws requiring open records on police-involved incidents. Roorda's bill would seal all records involving any/every police action and prohibit police departments from releasing the names of officers involved in shootings (So much for "We dont make the law, we just enforce it").[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4HUvXOvgkQ#t=23[/youtube] |

“Just as we turned up 27th Street, the crowd started yelling at these two guys, saying they were undercover cops,” Short said Thursday. “Somebody snatched a hat off the shorter guy’s head and he was fumbling around for it. A guy ran up behind him, knocked him down on the ground. That guy jumped backed up and chased after him and tackled him and the crowd began surging on them.
According to Bay City News, via ABC7, "Witnesses said it appeared the officer pushed the protester, who responded by ramming his body into the officer. Browne said one of the demonstrators pulled the hood off one of the officers and punched him in the head."
“The other taller guy had a small baton out,” Short said. “But as the crowd started surging on them, he pulled out a gun.”
Short said the undercover officers were wearing street clothes and had their faces covered. After the shorter officer tackled the person who outed him, he pulled out a set of handcuffs.
"The officer tackled the man to the ground and handcuffed him. The crowd, incensed, began to gather around them.
Prior to the encounter, vandals marching with the group had smashed the windows of a T-Mobile store in Oakland’s Chinatown neighborhood and made off with some of the store’s merchandise, Short said. A nearby Wells Fargo ATM was also smashed.
Several protesters took to Twitter to say that the undercover officers had instigated acts of vandalism and were banging on windows alongside others.  http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Undercover-cops-outed-attacked-at-Oakland-5951011.phphttps://storify.com/CourtneyPFB/undercover-cops-outed-and-pull-gun-on-crowdhttp://sfist.com/2014/12/12/an_undercover_california_highway_pa.php

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A St. Louis city police officer faces disciplinary action for wearing a tag on his sleeve bearing the last name of the former Ferguson officer who shot and killed Michael Brown.
Jeff Roorda, business manager for the St. Louis Police Officers' Association, said there's "something wrong with this picture" that protesters have been protected by the First Amendment while the officer is "being told that his passive statement is constitutionally prohibited free speech."
You didn't go to jail.

Report: Darren Wilson's Key Witness Lied About Everything
In a damning new report by the Smoking Gun, a crucial witness in the grand jury deciding whether to indict former Ferguson, Mo. police officer Darren Wilson is revealed as having fabricated her eyewitness account of the altercation between Wilson and unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown on Aug. 9. "Witness 40," identified as 45-year-old Sandra McElroy, has a documented history of racist remarks, criminal behavior, and mental illness.
http://gawker.com/darren-wilsons-key-witness-was-bipolar-racist-liar-1671681384
DECEMBER 15--The grand jury witness who testified that she saw Michael Brown pummel a cop before charging at him “like a football player, head down,” is a troubled, bipolar Missouri woman with a criminal past who has a history of making racist remarks and once insinuated herself into another high-profile St. Louis criminal case with claims that police eventually dismissed as a “complete fabrication,” The Smoking Gun has learned.
In interviews with police, FBI agents, and federal and state prosecutors--as well as during two separate appearances before the grand jury that ultimately declined to indict Officer Darren Wilson--the purported eyewitness delivered a preposterous and perjurious account of the fatal encounter in Ferguson.
Referred to only as “Witness 40” in grand jury material, the woman concocted a story that is now baked into the narrative of the Ferguson grand jury, a panel before which she had no business appearing.
While the “hands-up” account of Dorian Johnson is often cited by those who demanded Wilson’s indictment, “Witness 40”’s testimony about seeing Brown batter Wilson and then rush the cop like a defensive end has repeatedly been pointed to by Wilson supporters as directly corroborative of the officer’s version of the August 9 confrontation. The “Witness 40” testimony, as Fox News sees it, is proof that the 18-year-old Brown’s killing was justified, and that the Ferguson grand jury got it right.
However, unlike Johnson, “Witness 40”--a 45-year-old St. Louis resident named Sandra McElroy--was nowhere near Canfield Drive on the Saturday afternoon Brown was shot to death.http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/unmasking-Ferguson-witness-40-496236

A spokesman for the Ferguson, Mo., police department has been placed on unpaid leave after he admitted that he referred to a memorial for a black teenager fatally shot by a white officer as “a pile of trash in the middle of the street,” and then falsely claimed that he had been misquoted by The Washington Post, city officials said.
“I don’t know that a crime has occurred,” the newspaper quoted Officer Timothy Zoll as saying. “But a pile of trash in the middle of the street? The Washington Post is making a call over this?” Officer Zoll denied making the remark, and Ferguson officials initially disputed the newspaper’s account.
The Post stood by its story, and the article remained online.
On Saturday, the city sent another news release saying that it had changed its position after a further review.
“The officer admitted to department investigators that he did in fact make the remarks attributed to him, and that he misled his superiors when asked about the contents of the interview,” the statement said.
"The City of Ferguson wants to emphasize that negative remarks about the Michael Brown memorial do not reflect the feelings of the Ferguson Police Department."
...but obviously, they do.
