Where are the pictures of this police officer's life threatening injuries that he sustained which warrant shooting an unarmed civilian instead of just pursuing them and calling for backup?

At the VERY least this situation should lead to major reform in the areas of police use of force and the legislation that allows them to break laws/murder people with impunity. If this dudes face is not mashed up like he was in a boxing match, I think this was an unwarranted shooting. The only way I could see this being warranted is if he was being choked or was getting his face smashed. Anything else, its murder.

Guys live streaming people on a street corner grilling and selling hotdogs. Confirmed warzone.

If I was in St. Louis, I'd go set up a kool aid and watermelon stand. Would be able to retire after a couple days.

Beat down to a pulp or not. Assaulting an officer is not a lightly taken offense. If anyone was legitimately innocent it sure wasn't anyone who was beating down a police officer. /thread

Because of the racial tension and violence tearing Ferguson apart for the last week, don't you think the officials investigating would jump at the chance to end it right now by charging the cop with murder if they had even the slighted bit of physical evidence to support it? They would throw him under the bus because they need this whole episode to be over and it would be a neat and tidy ending for everyone. The longer it goes on, the worse they look. It's like their hands are tied because they know the truth already, that the evidence isn't going to lead to an arrest.

I'm thinking that the next day or two could get bloody if it's announced that the shooting was justified (if they find that it was). Eric Holder's showing up tomorrow and he's bringing the Justice Department's peacekeeping team with him. Maybe they have some bad news for the family and the community and they're getting ready to deal with the fallout from it.

Obviously this is all speculation on my part. Still waiting for the evidence to come out but I just have a bad feeling it's all gonna get much worse before it gets any better. I hope I'm wrong. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You think they want this to be over?

I think the local officials do. That's their backyard. Why wouldn't they (the local community and law enforcement both) want it to end?

Yeah I'm sure you're right about that. I'm pretty sure its been taken out of their hands at this point though.

I'd like to believe in the best in people, but....
This shit only happens in democrat controlled cities.

As for local law enforcement wanting it to stop or not, I don't think they have that control. They take orders from higher up.

I agree. Too late for that now, sadly.
