Flashermac Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Mo. Highway Patrol received well by protesters in Ferguson FERGUSON, Mo. (KMOV.com) – Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon made an appearance in Ferguson, Thursday and urged for police to have a softer stance. He also announced that the Missouri State Highway Patrol is currently in charge of security for protests in Ferguson. Ferguson native, Captain Ron Johnson with the Missouri State Highway Patrol was well received by protesters, Thursday. Captain Johnson led hundreds of protesters through the streets for a peaceful protest. “Say what you got to say, and just do it in peace,†said Johnson to the crowd. “I know there is frustration out here, but I can tell you there is frustration at my house.†The scene was far different Thursday compared to previous days when SWAT teams in full tactical gear spilled out onto the streets, building more anger with protesters. Johnson led the March down West Florissant Avenue with St. Louis County Police leaders. During the march, there was no police line, but rather a sense of trust toward Captain Johnson. “I think they need to come in with a more peaceful tactic. They don’t need to flex their guns,†said protester John Scott. “He’s connected to us, so we’re happy,†said another protester. “We are a community. We are all part of a community, and we are in it together. This isn’t a black or white issue,†expressed Captain Johnson. The most profound message came from Johnson when he said “I love you all and hope you have a beautiful march!†“We love you!†replied the crowd. http://www.kmov.com/special-coverage-001/Mo-Highway-Patrol-Captain-Ron-Johnson-received-well-by-protesters-271334181.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unit731 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 So the authorities put together a Grand Jury to investigate this shooting. Of course, what will be the composition of this Grand Jury. This sweet innocent young lad was going to go to college next year or thereabouts. But alas, 15 minutes before the shooting, this sweet young lad was caught on security camera robbing a convenience store. But robbing only cigars. A step above shop lifting as this sweet young lad man handled the shop owner. But will the shop lifting/robbing a convenience store be admitted to or shown to the Grand Jury? As the shop lifting/robbing man handling is unrelated to the shooting of this sweet innocent young lad. A messy case. And is being a wise ass punk any excuse to be shot and killed by the authorities?

Rick Perry on two felony counts of abuse of power for making good on a veto threat - a case the possible 2016 presidential hopeful is dismissing as nakedly political, but which his opponents say is just deserts.†LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I thought abuse of power was a requirement for politicians these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unit731 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Rand Paul Kentucky senator. I happened to be in Kentucky at the time of the US Senate primary debates. Just before Rand Paul was chosen. The Kentucky Republican debates. I viewed on the tele. I have never seen/viewed such nut cases as were running in Kentucky. The Rand Paul of today is a completely different person then the Rand Paul that ran in the Kentucky Republican Senate debates. Screwball and nutcase are being kind to such.

Flashermac Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 In Ferguson, three minutes — and two lives forever changed FERGUSON, Mo. — It took just three minutes. A speck of time on a snoozy side street, a stretch of asphalt winding through a modest working-class neighborhood of three-story garden apartment buildings that’s easier to find a way into than out of. There, two lives intersected when a white police officer named Darren Wilson and a black teenager named Michael Brown — one in a patrol car, the other on foot — found themselves together on Canfield Drive in the middle of a summer Saturday. When they met at 12:01 p.m. on Aug. 9, the two were coming from different places, different mind-sets —Brown filling free hours with a friend, Wilson coming off an emergency call about a 2-month-old baby struggling to breathe. Brown, barely 18, stood 6-foot-4 and 292 pounds and wore a St. Louis Cardinals baseball cap. Wilson, a lanky 28-year-old with short-cropped blond hair who had six months earlier won a commendation for “extraordinary effort in the line of duty,†steered a police cruiser behind him. At 12:04, Brown was dead, shot multiple times by Wilson. “Big Mike,†as his friends called him, did not have a gun. The conflicting accounts of those three minutes — the tortured exercise of assigning blame — have provoked intense protests and turned this muggy inner-ring St. Louis suburb into a parable of race, class and justice. There has been no resolution, no definitive account of what happened in that flash of a hot afternoon or of the two men at the center of it. Police records, public documents and more than a dozen interviews on the streets here and in other St. Louis suburbs are beginning to reveal details of the killing and clarify points on a timeline that began with a theft of less than $50 worth of cigars from a convenience store and culminated with Brown’s death just blocks away. ... The fraught relationship between African Americans, a majority in Ferguson, and the nearly all-white police force long preceded the eruption of protests after Brown was killed. In interview after interview, black men and women talked about their fears of random stops while driving in the city, as well as in neighboring municipalities in St. Louis County. ... http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/in-ferguson-three-minutes--and-two-lives-forever-changed/2014/08/16/f28f5bc0-2588-11e4-8593-da634b334390_story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 If you can't handle the heat...get out of the kitchen! If the classroom is so rowdy and one cannot control it, go thru the steps, complain to the principal, etc. Last resort, go to the media...if all fails, don't degrade yourself pounding down vodka in the classroom, up and quit...show some dignity...
