Ahh, I see. Well yes, I totally agree that the heavy-handed behaviors by many LEs are often rationally rooted in strong instincts and training for self-preservation. I am just pointing out that LEs DO need to be ready for work knowing that ambush and random violence can and do occur....which you agree with me on?
EDIT: Sorry to smith the words out to my better liking (post-posting), but we all know that was how Hemingway got so smooth.

IMO one huge problem with this country, also the cause of so much division, is the fuked up two party system...
Get fuking rid of it!!!...
And replace it with.....?
Are you a Socialists Locker... or even worse, Communist? My bad, you're one of them "Long Live the Queen" dudes that we broke away from back in the 1700's.
I am just pointing out that LEs DO need to be ready for work knowing that ambush and random violence can and do occur....
Thank you COWBOY for justifying Officer Wilson's instinctive reactions and those of other LEO's that acted in the manner in which they did after they assumed that an ambush or random act of violence was very imminent or actually occurring.
A true breath of fresh air finally away from so many of the "Hate the Pigs" crowd that dominates this thread.
EDIT: Locker, the least you could do is get an AM radio. We have a multi party system in this country.

wow
Rick, why would you ask Locker if he is a socialist or communist
what are you, Joe McCarthy?
what has he said that now he is another in your long target list of people to go after here?
why are you so damn thin skinned, Rick?
anyone who doesn't post kissing your ass in agreement becomes your next insult
what it says about you is that you are very insecure in yourself, hyper sensitive
now, reply calling me NOrton or some other childish name twisting, then ask me why
I am a communist, or a liberal, or some other irrelevant bullshet diversion insult of your day

Cops in action 2014. Probably the homeless guy wasn't assasinated, executed or murdered. Wonder why he is dead.
And y'all always want to side with the man.
"He was shot in the back and in the side," McGinn said during her closing argument. "That shows that he was not a threat when they shot him."
Defense lawyers countered that Boyd had threatened officers with two knives and Perez and Sandy had no choice about opening fire. The lawyers said the officers were following their training and protecting their colleagues.
"It should be clear to everyone now that James Boyd was not executed for being a homeless camper," defense attorney David Roman, who represents Perez, said in his closing argument.
During the hearing, Bregman, who represents Sandy, questioned K-9 officer Scott Weimerskirch from a 4-foot platform to illustrate whether Boyd being on higher ground was a threat to Weimerskirch and other officers at the scene.
Holding fake knives, Bregman asked if Boyd's actions put officers in danger. Weimerskirch answered yes.
"I was in a helpless position ... trying to control my dog," Weimerskirch said, crediting Sandy and Perez for saving his life.

They have been officially charged and will eventually be going to the State Penn for their actions ZBROWN. Thank you for NOT posting the rest of that story...

No Wade.... but as usual you knee jerk and then run. There where two posts on here from early in the game that stated "Pigs" and "F*#k" etc. They are now gone.
I am a solid six years of your waddling Flip Flopping. I can't go today, I just had a molar pulled 3 hours ago.
Go teach an art class would you.
But while you're Bullshetting, those two post may have been motivated by this behavior just this Saturday at the Minn State Fair...
Marchers chanted in unison, “Pigs in a blanket, fry ’em like bacon.”

Edit:
Dean Gets it....
Obama and Sharpton commenting on the Ferguson incident before ANY investigation was in, only fueled the violence that resulted. And furthermore, after the Grand Jury proved that the Ferguson incident was self defense, there were no apologies from either Obama or Sharpton. In fact, Sharpton marched in NYC encouraging the murder of peace officers....and Obama did not shut him up.
Bottom line....Obama came to the defense of a thug who assaulted a Peace Officer and paid the price with his life.
Now a Peace Officer is executed.......EXECUTED!!!!........and Obama says nothing.

I suppose it might have something to do with the fact that random, evil acts of violence, ambushes, the like, are part of the recognized job hazards of being an LE.

Once again thank you for justifying and condoning Officer Wilson's reaction when he felt threatened by the impending potential evil act of violence and ensuing ambush by Michael Brown thus defending himself from eventually being killed.
That btw is precisely what he stated when initially and then subsequently interviewed.
Thank you for agreeing with him.

Sorry Dean but that can be applied to handful if not more of the usual suspects that have chimed in on this thread.
Especially those that have yet to exhibit an ounce of remorse for the Officer, his Family and the entire community that he served and loved him.
Those individual just continue to incite more hate towards LEO's and pathetic racism. All when I did nothing of the sort by posting this thread.
Mi Culpa for even thinking that more would see my post for what it was and NOT what they turned it into.
EDIT: I am very grateful for the few that actually did show their respect for this Fallen Hero and jest and intent of the OP.

Dean, I would say that being a young, poor black man in the ghetto, subject to the militarized and rationally defensive police force probably does a whole lot more to incite violent black men towards the kind of act that is this execution

okay Chief- My bad. I'll take your word for it on the "pigs" as I know your word is good. Sorry about the tooth (there's drugs for that) and the loss of your Comrade. I've not shown you or LEO's any disrespect, nor have I attempted to label or judge "you and your ilk." thought we were making progress on the communication front.
As far as "knee jerking and waddling and flip flopping" goes you know I've consistently been a smart ass, left-wing, art teaching, tree hugging, Socialist hippie from the beginning. No flipflopping. I respect people - Christians, cops, righties, rangers, fly fishermen, climbers, artists, etc. until I have a reason not to. Then I don't.
I think you'd agree that lot's of folks here have a skewed idea of "due respect." But I doubt many would agree on its definition. okay see ya on the lunker threads.

Cragman and Chief....you wear your prejudices like a scarlet letter. Don't worry...the black president will be out of office soon. Probably won't sit well with you guys if he's followed by a liberal woman.
For avowed Christians you guys don't seem to have much compassion, forgiveness or understanding of people different from you.
Stay tuned to Fox News and right wing radio for the real scoop.
Donini, incorrect statement in regard to Cragman. Dean has an adopted black daughter, and his future son in law is black.
