Mike Brown shooting thread - No indictment! Get out and protest!

[Kara]

Yeah, using the wrong terminology for APC's is the most troubling aspect of this situation.  C'mon, man.

I just wanted to make sure that the police were, in fact, not yet launching depleted-uranium cannon shells at the general populace.  What?

The M2 uses depleted uranium munitions.

Interesting that the US still got racial riots in 2014.

Shake, how many of those cacs wailing about "lawlessness" and "evil" on your feed are Cliven Bundy supporters? You know, the guy who called in dozens of heavily-armed white people ready to get into a shootout with federal agents that were attempting to execute a court order calling for Bundy to pay his pills.

[Momo]

Not really related to this, but people are posting some crazy stuff in reply to this.

I'm not one to normally police (lol) a thread but can we keep this thread on topic and on the serious threat of justice, basic human right to existence, and the militarization of the American police (state lol).

PS: all the posts mentioning Boogie, a stand up guy, who happens to be a cop, are largely insensitive given he is Canadian and has nothing to do with this. Constantly appealing to Boogie about police matters is like asking Wrath about why "his" people are "terrorists". Please have the common decency to have to tact and a modicum of empathy towards Boogie and his job. This is not the time nor thread to troll him.

WHO IS THIS

[Shaka Khan]

A girl I went to school with. Ultra idealistic and naive. She joined the police academy after graduation and turned into this caricaturish  nutjob very recently.

Shaka if you don't comment on that and you keep her as a friend, you're taking a huge bystander L.

welp

[Shaka Khan]

There we go.

[Steve Contra]

I'm guessing that's the cop on leave right now?

[PlayDat]

also BLOOP http://pastebin.com/icYZEMQk

They've got a video out too.



I've never really followed their previous campaigns very closely, but I'm really skeptical of anonymous for some reason.  It's good to see that they're supportive, but I'm worried they'll end up doing more harm than good. 

[CatsCatsCats]

Anonymous is an interesting element to throw into this mix. Not sure how I feel about it

[Himu]

holy shit

[Phoenix Dark]

No, apparently it's the police chief or someone related to him.

Anon claims they have the shooter's name and will release it soon.

While I appreciate the words, I don't think anyone was actually doing this in here (although I suspect GS was hoping to), and even if they were, I'm a big boy and can take it. 

As for getting "off topic", I agree to an extent, but this is still the Bore, we are the ADHD-riddled child of the forum world.  Hard to avoid.

[Steve Contra]

I kind of like to hear Boogie's take on the topic, since he is you know, a cop.

[Boogie]

I am almost never a fan of Anonymous' methods.

The results in this case, though, if the police chief is indeed rocking a Confederate flag in his basement.....

Fuck dude

Fuck when "Business Insider" is calling you out for shit...

[Howard Alan Treesong]

it doesn't help when the white man reduces that rage to "they're just opportunists looking for free stuff." <tack on racial code words here>

if I never see the word "thug" again it will be too soon

people are saying that pic is a few years old now :patrice:

[CatsCatsCats]

Oh -.- still tho

[helios]

[Phoenix Dark]

people are saying that pic is a few years old now :patrice:

It's obviously old, it looks like a regular KKK demonstration. If the KKK was in Ferguson there would be utter mayhem.

They came to Ann Arbor a couple times when I was growing up. It was pretty calm outside of the yelling, and police were everywhere.

[helios]

Did you go twerk in front of them, PD?

[Phoenix Dark]

The Justice Department and FBI are involved now, he can't say anything.

[Positive Touch]

well the kkk didn't show up, but the city got itself temporarily declared a no-fly zone today, the police reneged on releasing the murderers name, and current reports have the cops showing up without their badges to identify them. should be another interesting night!

oh, forgot to add that every time shit starts to get really bad at night, the local cable monopoly mysteriously loses its signal for local stations.

[lennedsay]

I heard the same for the cable. No tv or internet during the times of rioting and protesting. Cable company flat out told my coworker, "Look, we're not supposed to tell you guys, but we were told we had to cut communications due to the events in your neighborhood."

[benjipwns]

Wouldn't want to agitate more thugs. They're probably spending all day on a marathon GTA session to get ready to play it out at night. See who can score the most points for robbery and having sex with hookers.

what the fuck

[Madrun Badrun]

Serious question, is Sharpton the leading civil rights figure right now or is he just the only one who wants to get his name attached to events like this?

[Himu]

Al Sharpton, I would say at this point acts as both. His name was kind of sullied when he made a lot of campaigns to fight racism that felt...sometimes forced or unnecessary, but he, along with Jesse Jackson are definitely considered "our leaders" by black people in America. Unless you count Obama, and you shouldn't.

It should be noted that Sharpton now hosts a show on msnbc, so he definitely gets a platform.

[Kara]

this is some China shit.

In China this would already be over.

[lennedsay]

The justification was that they didn't want people watching on TV and joining in on the rioting. Problem being a lot of the people looting are from surrounding areas and the city. Also if you're from that area and if you're sitting in your house with no TV or internet, you're probably going to figure out shit is going down anyway by the gunshots and constant police sirens, so if rioting was on your agenda you could figure it out. Cell towers were still up so Facebook was alive and well. People with family in the area had to basically live blog the news via FB.

God forbid people know if they need to pack up their kids and gtfo.

Patricia Bynes, the Democratic Committeewoman of Ferguson Township in St Louis County claims "The cable is cut off here in the area to prevent incitement of more looting".

[Kara]

God forbid people know if they need to pack up their kids and gtfo.

Not when there's property to protect and dissent to quell.

[Madrun Badrun]

They should just accidentally put porn on instead of cutting the cable.  Make sure its all BBCs so PD doesn't lift a TV.
