Ferguson

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Looks like Fergusons should have contacted the IRS regarding making emails disappear.

:ph34r:

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Not really surprising because:
1) You think he is correct, and there is a culture of racism, or
2) You feel that Holder was committed to making that claim, regardless of whether the officer was indicted?
Your statement was little ambiguous, and I was just curious.

Both.

Police officers cant go around arresting journalists that are not causing any trouble that is against their constitutional right of freedom of press, just like you cant arrest  people for peacefully protesting. Not everyone was looting. :rolleyes:

How many people were arrested for looting?

I wonder how much press the DOJ report is on Darren Wilson. 

 

 

"There is no evidence upon which prosecutors can rely to disprove Wilson's stated subjective belief that he feared for his safety,"

 

It goes on to say that there is no evidence that Brown had his hands up, no evidence that he was shot in the back and was he definitely advancing toward Wilson when he was shot. So much for the bogus claims of Wilson shooting Brown in the back, Brown was trying to give up and that the prosecutors were covering up for a local cop. Meaning that entire diatribe by Obama, Holder and others of their ilk caused riots for justice and it turns out that the locals had it correct all along. 

 

But.... that is just the facts.............. 

[5GallonBucket]

some people can't handle the facts/truth.  Like in other threads...."its not my fault", "I did nothing wrong"

always looking to blame someone else and twist the truth to meet an agenda.

 

thug is a thug whether white or black

People don't want to hear facts; they don't fit into what the media is telling them to think. That same scenario could happen at any minute in any city and on any street. Officer Wilson did his job, and was protecting the citizens. For any police shooting they still say, "the unarmed shooting of Michael Brown." Heck, even one of our moderators believes what the media posts. Anything to fan the flames.

Facts can be very inconvenient sometimes.

Many people listen to the media and then allow the media to manipulate their own thinking.  Too much of society leans on the media.  Too many weak minded individuals.....scary thought. 

 

 

When dealing with law enforcement......PRETTY SIMPLE DO WHAT YOUR TOLD AND LEAVE YOUR PRIDE OUT OF IT.....and you'll come out ahead or at least better off.

@nytimes: Two Ferguson Police Supervisors Linked to Racist Emails Resign http://nyti.ms/1CJ8p0l

I think Ferguson should fire the whole staff and hire nothing but black officers then all their problems will be solved!

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Or just hire better people in general. 

[77]

No I would go with all black. The guy that shot the crook was found not guilty of doing anything wrong by Eric Holder himself so he must have been alright Besides its known fact that if black shoots another black it dont matter near as much.Happens all the time and the news never reports on it and the good rev dont seem to mind because if he did he would have a march or burn a car or something. Just a thought.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Do you feel those guys shouldn't have resigned? Do you feel the woman shouldn't have been fired earlier in the week? 

[77]

No I think they should have been fired!

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

No I think they should have been fired!

I think it may have been one of those "if you dont resign you will be fired" type deals. I expect a few more of those to happen, although I agree with you. 

[tvc184]

What was in the emails?

[smitty]

"Hands up, don't shoot" never happened!!  I just heard not one major media reported this.  But -- they were all over it when the lie was being perpetrated! 

[77]

Agenda!

[tvc184]

I really thought that it was great that the president felt compelled to continue his agenda by almost apologizing publicly for no indictment or in the way he tried to put it, Officer Wilson got away with this one in a loophole of the law. He should have apologized to Wilson but that is obviously beyond him. 

[thetragichippy]

What was in the emails?

 

http://www.vox.com/2015/3/4/8149699/ferguson-police-racist-jokes

 

First email sent 2008....so, roughly 7 years worth of emails to find 7 emails each containing a racist joke. They have 72 officers, so let's say each employee only sent two emails a day. That would be 367,920 emails over 7 years.....after all that searching .01% of all emails were found racist. 

 

Racism is wrong....no one should be treated unfairly because of the color of their skin.

 

While some jokes are in bad taste, I hear black comedians tell white racial jokes, and white comedians tell black racial jokes.......the common denominator is they are "jokes".....

 

I agree they should of been fired for being stupid and using poor judgement. To make a claim they would treat blacks unfairly because of a couple email jokes......I'm not convinced and I think they are blowing this up to save face......

[Chester86]

I'm surprised ONE of our moderators hasn't been posting all of his rhetoric about Madison.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Im surprised that you haven't addressed that one moderator via PM that you seem to have a problem with. ;)

[Chester86]

I have no problem, the truth has proved those officers right on each occasion thusfar. The rush to judgement in each of the cases was far too hasty. I guess the posts served their purpose, garnering lots of traffic.
