In such a position of trust where the mere virtue of being a police officer offers you more credibility, shouldn't "False Reporting" be grounds for immediate termination?

Can we make #RoordatheLiar trend on twitter?

Now its attempted murder of a police officer? Lets not forget he never even made it trial because of the murdering police officer took the execution rule into his own hands.

They didn't really need to wait, there have been thousands of incidents going on many years now. How about the black woman who asked for help and was shotgunned in the face through a closed door? Or the black kids listening to "thug music" that an old man didn't like, so he felt threatened and shot into their car? …

Brown is neither guilty nor a criminal. For that, he would have had to receive a trial.

I love how you're using the term "strong arm robbery" like that means something. "Strong arm"=without a weapon. I know it sounds super duper scuuuuuury, but it's meaningless. Using it makes you sound stupid.

oh, I see. you're one of those apologists for the police state. Never mind.

Do you have any concept of what rioting is? People were not "rioting" prior to the decision. They were protesting, which is legal in our country, and people are protesting because the man got away with killing a black kid while he was dozens of feet away. People feel like justice was not served and that he should have…

The clerk said it wasn't him, and charges were never filed over stolen cigars. The person in the video also had different clothes on.

Very powerful.

Not a surprise given that if a citizen is so much spotted as filming a cop hassling another citizen, the individual with the camera faces intimidation, threats, and even arrest for exercising her or his First Amendment rights. Maybe this country's entire population of Chief Piggums needs an intensive refresher course…

Holy shit, this is GREAT.

Thank you. Fuck them.

Well I've got news for people who think that way, cops have first amendment rights too, and we plan to exercise ours. I'd remind the NFL and their players that it is not the violent thugs burning down buildings that buy their advertiser's products. It's cops and the good people of St. Louis and other NFL towns that…

And I'm supposed to care that cops who support institutionalized racism are offended because...?

Maybe it is just me but an insane overreaction by the police to a harmless non-event doesn't seem like the best way to engender respect and trust.

it's cute that they think anyone gives a shit what they think.

You don't just get respect because you say so. You earn it, primarily by treating others with the respect you demand. You see, police? THAT is the problem, you want to treat citizens like enemy combatants AND to be respected by them too! It doesn't work that way. NFL players (or anyone else) are under no obligation to…

"Guys, it's justice to shoot an unnarmed black kid. But black men not wanting to be shot? That shit's offensive."

As many times as I read it, the statement still says "Those niggers don't have any money. We do, and we won't spend it on you anymore."
