Police Officer: "Trust Me, Ferguson Changed Everything"

[CaptUSA]

Perhaps it is time if we pull a Frank Luntz and start referring to these people and those that defend them as "loyalists".

That word developed a negative connotation at one point in our history, perhaps it is time for a revival.

Here's an example of how Ferguson has changed things. I don't know what made them target this particular state trooper, if it was just random or what -- but there are plenty of them who should be fearing a visit ...

HAZELWOOD, Mo. (KMOV.com) – Officers told News 4 they are concerned about their safety after several people protested outside the home of an officer with the Missouri Highway Patrol Tuesday.

At the Ferguson City Council Tuesday, several protesters said they would start protesting at homes of police and government officials. Several demonstrators later showed up at the home of an MHP officer in Hazelwood. Authorities said the officer was not home at the time and the protesters left before police arrived.

“These things are real, these things happen, so it’s a legitimate concern,” said Sgt. Brian Schellman with St. Louis County Police.

Schellman said some officers fear retaliation by protesters against themselves or their family. Schellman said officers did not initially wear name tags during the protests in Ferguson because of a fear that someone would hack their email, or that violent protesters would come to their homes.

“Regardless of civil unrest or any protests, it’s something that’s always in the back of police officers’ minds,” Schellman said. “The majority of protesters are peaceful and want people to know we do know that, but it doesn’t take many, it takes one. That’s all it takes is one who has bad intentions.

Oh, buck up and quit whining, Officer Friendly!

After all ... if you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about ... isn't that right?

Police Officer: Trust Me, Ferguson Changed Everything

<BLURF>... Oh, you were serious...

I’m a cop.

And proud.

'Mrka!

His parents were mortified by his statements and they apologized profusely, telling us that is not how they raised their son.

Well, what can one expect from people stupid enough as human beings and inept enough as parents call the police because they were incapable of handling their own child?

Not a week goes by without someone I encounter mentioning [Ferguson].

So that would be what... five or six times?

“Ferguson” has become the latest defense for committing crime, often invoked by people we arrest and their loved ones. Sadly, this feeling has not only infected the normal criminal element that I expect that behavior from, but even seems to be effecting middle class families as well.

Equating law abiding people with criminals. How typical of the pig class of subhuman lapdog tool.

According to accounts from Wednesday night’s “demonstrations,” the crowd was calling for Darren Wilson to be killed.

The "crowd" is just about fed up with the likes of you. Good on them.

The same people who we used to count on for support, the good, law abiding general public, are now reluctant to trust us.

And of course this could not possibly be the result of any wrongdoing you and your ilk have committed. Nosir... never.

We, the local cops they have seen and contacted in the past, have not changed. We have done nothing different.

Pathological liars be lying pathologically.

What has changed is the public’s perception of us, created by the reckless reporting by nearly every news outlet very early after the shooting of Michael Brown. The rush to be first with the story over the desire to be correct is having dire consequences nationwide, and quite honestly, has made my job more difficult and more dangerous.

And here we get an inside view into the problem: rank, raving psychosis.

Since the shooting of Mike Brown, and the month-plus long circus that followed, the number of law enforcement officers being shot in the line of duty has skyrocketed, but the average citizen has no idea this is happening.

If only...

The national media jumps all over a story where an 18-year-old criminal punk, who shot at a cop, is shot and killed. That criminal is made out to be some sort of victim by many outlets. That story is front page news all over the country.

And let us never forget that cops are always perfect angels.

Did you know that in just three days this week (October 7-9), six cops were shot in the line of duty, one of whom was killed?

Cry me a river, deputy Whiny Candyass.

A mirror would change everything.

Assuming they aren't too candy-assed to take a good, hard look at it.

To be accurate about what happened, the cops didn't intentionally hurt the baby in the crib. They threw a grenade into the house and it happened to land in the baby's crib. Now, it was absolutely terrible what happened, and it illustrates why the war on drugs needs to come to an end. The war on drugs is literally killing people all across America and is more dangerous than the drugs themselves. But to say that the cops intentionally threw a grenade at a baby just isn't accurate. So I certainly don't see that as any worse than someone who intentionally murders a cop. The war on drugs which leads to all of these police abuses and those who promote and use violence against police officers are equally bad.

The favorite excuse of every school child who has ever been caught.

"I didn't mean to (hit/punch/kick) Johnny. My (punch/hit/kick) just happened to land in his solar plexus/back. And, besides, Johnny deserved it because X. And it was an accident."

Cop/Sherriff: "I didn't mean to grenade the baby. My grenade just happened to land in the baby's crib. Besides, if Alleged Criminal didn't make us invade the house, this never would have happened. It was a terrible accident that wasn't supposed to happen."

The difference being: libertarian parents don't accept those excuses for their offspring; they expect them to take responsibility for their actions. The same way we need to tell the Magically-Costumed Ones: "I don't care what your excuse is. This is absolutely unacceptable. You will shape up immediately, or your behavior will have immediate consequences."

I could make a comment on how we have every right to treat the cops with distrust, but it's all been said already...

 

[Weston White]

...the normal criminal element that I expect that behavior from, but even seems to be effecting middle class families as well.

And therein lays the ultimate truth: We have found job security in increasing poverty.

HAZELWOOD, Mo. (KMOV.com) – ...several people protested outside the home of an officer...

Anyone willing to take bets that this will be one of the next moves, i.e., to render all officers anonymous at all times? No names. No Badge numbers. Subtext: officer safety is too important to trust the proles with the identities of our finest and bravest. It takes only ONE.

At the Ferguson City Council Tuesday, several protesters said they would start protesting at homes of police and government officials. Several demonstrators later showed up at the home of an MHP officer in Hazelwood. Authorities said the officer was not home at the time and the protesters left before police arrived.

And one can at this time but speculate as to what might have happened, had the protesters been there when cops arrived.

“These things are real, these things happen, so it’s a legitimate concern,” said Sgt. Brian Schellman with St. Louis County Police.

So much innuendo. So much fear. Theye are actually terrified of us. Good. They ought to be. Let us not disappoint.

Schellman said some officers fear retaliation by protesters against themselves or their family. Schellman said officers did not initially wear name tags during the protests in Ferguson because of a fear that someone would hack their email, or that violent protesters would come to their homes.

See what I mean? So much subtext. It is amazing how these peoples' minds operate their mouths. They almost never say precisely what they mean, but rather rely on massive bodies of subtext to lead the dopey boobus to draw the inferences and conclusions they want him to make. It is a circus macabre of the grandest proportions and ever more dangerous nature.

“Regardless of civil unrest or any protests, it’s something that’s always in the back of police officers’ minds,”

Note the not-so-oblique trivialization of "civil unrest" and "protest". Never do these bastards say, "well, maybe the people have a point - perhaps we have lost our way and need to make amends and reform the ways in which we think and act." Nosir. Theye are always right. Theye are always "just doing our jobs." Theye are always just following orders. Well, you raft of stinking chum, we once put a whole bunch of men at the ends of ropes for "just following orders" and it is time once again to revisit the values that lead us to those acts.

Note also the further implication of "always in the back of [cops] minds,": civilians must be further controlled to spare the noble cop from wetting his panties. After all, is it not the fundamental human right of all police to be springtime fresh at all times while on duty? Newsflash: nobody is forcing you to be a cop. You have no fundamental right to be one. If the job leads you to stain your clothing, then go find a job better suited to the timbre of your bravery and the nature of your intellect. Try pushing a broom or cleaning toilets. Yes, those will pose terrible challenges to all of you on the fronts I mention, but you must be willing to stretch yourselves, even if the goals seem impossible to you. And if you never achieve them, do not feel badly, for they are much to expect from those such as yourselves.

Schellman said. “The majority of protesters are peaceful and want people to know we do know that, but it doesn’t take many, it takes one. That’s all it takes is one who has bad intentions.

If it saves even one cop, tyranny is worth it.

To be accurate about what happened, the cops didn't intentionally hurt the baby in the crib.

To be more accurate about what happened, their intentions are IMMATERIAL. The only thing that counts is what they DID, and that was to maim a small child. For that, I would so very literally see those men drawn and quartered and feel they got off with naught more than a slap on the wrist.

They threw a grenade into the house and it happened to land in the baby's crib.

That is where you should have stopped because it is the only thing that is relevant. Their reasons for doing so mean nothing. This was not an accident. It was a deliberate act that resulted in the maiming injury of another human being; in this case a child, which is a grossly aggravating factor.

Now, it was absolutely terrible what happened

Do you mean to trivialize the event, or is it just that you need to tune your expressive style a bit?

Seriously, you should re-read that statement - several tens of thousands of times if necessary - until the subtle obscenity it carries becomes apparent to you. You may not have meant it that way, but that is the way it comes across to me.

, and it illustrates why the war on drugs needs to come to an end.

It illustrates so much more than that. It illustrates why the existence of police is the most profound danger of them all and why their very existence is invalid in a free land. It illustrates that this brand of behavior must be met with the most harshly unequivocal responses, most especially when the acts are committed by anyone claiming the imprimatur of "government" and who, in so committing their acts, have violated the sacred trust of their fellow human beings. It illustrates the need to strike literal terror into the hearts of all men who assume the mantle of the public trust such that they quake in their boots at the very possibility that they might violate those to whom they swear an oath of faith and loyalty. It illustrates that we, the so-called "people" need to get our stupid, lazy, greedy, candy asses squared away by assuming the proper attitude of free men. It illustrates that Theye don't give a tinker's damn about human rights and that we'd better rethink this "tolerance" deal very carefully before it is too late. It illustrates that the mass has fallen into all of the worst possible habits of thought and regard with respect to so-called "government" and that Theye have cowed us as monumentally as any have been in the past. It illustrates that tyranny is alive, well, and growing like an aggressive cancer in this land.

The war on drugs is but a symptom of the deeper disease. To focus on that is to miss the real point entirely.

The war on drugs Tyranny is literally killing people all across America...

Fixed that fer'y.

But to say that the cops intentionally threw a grenade at a baby just isn't accurate.

You seem fixated on this irrelevancy.

So I certainly don't see that as any worse than someone who intentionally murders a cop.

This is arguable.

The war on drugs which leads to all of these police abuses and those who promote and use violence against police officers are equally bad.

You cannot be serious.

 

[tod evans]

those who promote and use violence against police officers are equally bad.

I had to jump on this too...

Are you fucking serious? Kops are the foot soldiers in the war(s) waged on the citizenry.

Where you raised to lick the boots of your oppressor?

Shameful!

 

[Pericles]

And therein lays the ultimate truth: We have found job security in increasing poverty.

Democrats care about poor people. That is why they create as many poor people as they can.

There is some space between "Licking the boots of your oppressor" and "supporting cop killing whenever and wherever it occurs."

 

[Pericles]

@osan What a series of epic rep worthy posts.

 

[tod evans]

Not in my world.

A mirror would change everything.

There'd have to be some crazy magic in that mirror. The regular variety only result in cops stropping like wildfire.

Perhaps that is the solution: wall your entire dwelling with mirrors so that the moment they enter, they start masturbating. Of course, after killing them all you would be pretty much compelled to burn the house down for the sake of humanity's future.

 

[osan]

There is some space between "Licking the boots of your oppressor" and "supporting cop killing whenever and wherever it occurs."

Not on Earth. But please, describe this space, where it exists and under what conditions; how we recognize it and what we do when we are in it.

Would you say there is "some space" between shooting an attacker dead and laying down to let him slit your throat and rape you as you slowly bleed out?

 

[osan]

"sure" it's "Ferguson"

If a cop did this to me, you can be sure I'd be noting his name and badge number because this is the sort of act I would not soon forget. If I did not know better, and I do, I would have to assess this image as having been staged.

Whatever. Best of luck, I guess. Even I'm not this radical...
