Re: Ferguson, MO

Post by fatboy »

Well after working from 1600-0400, I can say the free shit crowd did not put in their appearance. Instead, it was the typical target of opportunity crowd that we deal with on weekends. Maybe the date for their rage was changed and we just didn't get the memo.
Oh well. There is always tomorrow.

Police forces around the United States are militarizing at an alarming rate, often without the knowledge of those who pay them, a criminal justice expert said Friday.
“Some of these city councils only become aware of what their police have and what they’ve been doing in the wake of a tragedy,” said Tim Lynch, the director of the Project on Criminal Justice at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think-tank.

Some of it is the fault of the cops. That video of that cop pointing his weapon at the protesters, and the press did not help the police; now this video of SGM(R) Dan Page is out, and I think this will be worst than that cop who did the pointing. SGM Page is saying a lot of crazy things in that video he did in May. Folks hear a cop, who has been a cop for 35 years, talking about being a killer, and would kill again does not do the police any good. There will be questions on how was he able to work there so long without someone noticing he got some head issues. That video came out in May '14. It has been on the net for awhile. He has been on some radio shows too. Videos like this will mess with the credibility of the police. If SGM Page was able to be a cop, then who else is on the force that ain't right in the head?

Also, he talks a lot about being in the military. I do not remember where I saw it, but someone made a statement that ex-military make better cops. Well after some looks at this video of SGM(R) Dan Page, they may not agree.

Agreed that this shit stick should know when to cease talking. I don't know the guy, but I would guess it is a strong possibility that he is full on into the "10%" portion of his organization. Us cops have enough issues without adding more fuel to the fire by running our collective pie holes. :roll:
