Retired cops side with Ferguson protesters
| Quote: | "The whole system is corrupt," he said. "Black people know that because they've been victims of it all their lives... I'll put it this way: there are thousands of Fergusons."
- 'Culture of indifference' -
Another law officer turned activist in retirement who joined in the Ferguson protests was Matthew Fogg, a former chief deputy US marshal, from the US capital Washington.
An African American, he tracked down more than 300 dangerous fugitives over 32 years as a federal marshal, ran drug and firearm dragnets nationwide -- and in 1998 won a landmark lawsuit against the Justice Department over racial discrimination in the US Marshals Service.
"America's still pretty much a divided country when it comes down to race and the state of law enforcement for the African American is really sad," he told AFP.
He remembered being informed by superiors that certain neighborhoods across the United States were definite no-go operations for drug enforcement operations.
"They said, 'If you go in those areas, those people know judges, lawyers, politicians, and we're going to get a phone call and they're going to shut our operation down -- and there goes your overtime,'" he recalled. |

I would not want to be a white cop in a large city. The fix would be in before any evidence was released. |

By wasted, I mean it had zero chance of influencing the election. Perot got 19% of the vote in '92 ... every one of them wasted by that criterion. Only votes for the two major parties determine presidential elections. |

Jesse Jackson declared the Ferguson cop guilty of murder -- a "state execution", he called it -- on world-wide TV simply because it took the cop multiple shots to stop the unarmed 290-pound man's charge. "That's all we need to know", he says.
The AVERAGE cop takes MORE shots to stop the AVERAGE perp. |

Both parties are full of pimps, whores, criminals and leeches. I am a conservative. |

its like clockwork in what not to do.
The police chief should be fired at this point and brought up on charges for not putting out the legally required info now. Why would you hire a police officer from a city that had to fire/dismiss all the officers because they were so racist.
Obviously to be hired into that last police department they looked for certain "types" of people...
Darren Wilson’s first job was on a troubled police force disbanded by authorities

| Quote: | FERGUSON, Mo. — The small city of Jennings, Mo., had a police department so troubled, and with so much tension between white officers and black residents, that the city council finally decided to disband it. Everyone in the Jennings police department was fired. New officers were brought in to create a credible department from scratch.
That was three years ago. One of the officers who worked in that department, and lost his job along with everyone else, was a young man named Darren Wilson. |

| I agree, but if I'm gonna bother voting (i.e., sign the ballot and drop it in the mail), it's going to count, even if it IS out in the 7th decimal place. |

Damn, you're smart, you've got it all figured out, and w/o even having to go thru a tedious, worthless trial!!!!!
Where do you come up with this awesome insight?
Hell with the courts, we've got bajaDean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and you might want to read this just for shits and giggles, the murdering Ferguson cop is getting more donations for his defense then that gentle giant Brown is, oh well.
