In Powerful Speech, Cpt. Johnson Apologizes to Brown Family, Promises to Stand by Ferguson

In a confident and impassioned speech, Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson spoke of the need for communication, understanding, and faith at Sunday’s Rally for Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO.

Johnson began by apologizing to Brown’s family. “I wear this uniform, and I should stand up here and say that I’m sorry,” Johnson said to a long round of applause. “I’ll tell you right now, I came in today and saw people cheering and people clapping; this is what the media needs to put on TV.”

Johnson replaced Ferguson Police Chief Jon Belmar after several days of over-militarized police presence led to a crisis in the St. Louis suburb. Johnson cited his link to the community, pledged to protect its right to protest, and brought it back to the personal bond he feels with his own family, and how he sees the experience shaping the bond for the families of the Ferguson community.

“When this is over, I’m gonna go in my son’s room,” Johnson said. “My black son, who wears his pants saggy, wears his hat cocked to the side, got tattoos on his arms. But that’s my baby, and we all oughta be thanking the Browns for Michael. Because Michael’s gonna make it better for our sons, so they can be better black men.”

Quotes from speech:

I am you.

No, you're not.

I will protect your right to protest.

No, you won't.

This is what the media needs to put on TV.

No, it doesn't.

My black son, who wears his pants saggy,...

Yes, today's police abuse and militarization is all about negro fashion.

Michael’s gonna make it better for our sons, so they can be better black men.

Yes, all the dogs shot by lice make dogs everywhere better behaved.

The last 24 hours have been tough for me.

Bullshitting is never easy when you can't fool all the people all the time.

At this point, i liked what im hearing.....regardless of race.

 

[RJB]

Whoa!

That's really all I can say.

Someone that high ranking doesn't risk his job and pension.

If he's serious and means this from his heart, this is big.

If he's being told to do this (the conspiracy theorist in me), this is big.

This may be a very interesting year...

Keep your eyes and ears open, my friends.

Apparently, you support checkpoints that have overwhelmingly been proved to be ineffective. Looks like you support harassing law abiding people to attempt to catch the minority that are lawbreakers. Apparently, you are practically shitting yourself scared just watching such activity on a computer.

checkpoints?...looks like cops doing what their SUPPOSED to do.

I got a neg rep from LINDSEY for expressing my anger at these crotch rocket cowboys. Obviously must be a lawless asswipe on a bike. Thinks flying down the freeway at warp speed is a Constitutional Right....fuckin crazy world. People think they can do whatever they want endangering people is just fine...

And LINDSEY...FUCK YOU TOO.


btw...in response to your neg rep comment..''Way to be a collectivist asshole. Fuck you too.''

learn what COLLECTIVIST means. Attempted murder on a ricer rocket is not a protected right.

1. All guns are always loaded

2. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy

3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target

4. Be sure of your target and what is behind it

Bang, your dead. Sorry.

Laughable.

you're off base here... there's nobody in that scene doing anything that requires an officer to pull his weapon and point it at someone.

 

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

if so...fuck you.

I suppose we could discuss checkpoints and the like, but you sound too emotional at the moment.

What's the matter? Did you conclude that Captain Ron Johnson actually bamboozled you too?

It's okay -the officer is trained.
