45790. judithathome - 8/2/2014 8:12:53 PM In her screed last night on the House floor, she also said we need to "handcuff the President"...and demonstrated with one hand circling her other wrist and holding it up...
I realize she is not the one who coined that phrase; it was first used by that orange guy who looks as though he's had experience BEING handcuffed; however, knowing her penchant for misunderstanding "nuance" in the past, I think she might have meant it in its' most basic sense. 45791. arkymalarky - 8/15/2014 2:33:37 AM well, David Gregory is leaving meet the press and NBC. I'm glad. I cannot see him without having images of him dancing with Karl Rove. I just never did care for him. 45792. judithathome - 8/15/2014 5:27:09 PM Me, either...the only thing he has going for him is that he is super tall...Bill O'Reilly tall. They should have both tried out for professional basketball...they'd have been schooled quickly on how to face/have to deal with someone better across the "court". 45793. judithathome - 8/15/2014 5:28:44 PM I like Chuck Todd...he's a little somber but at least he's not creepy-looking. He'll do a decent job. 45794. iiibbb - 8/16/2014 3:21:35 AM TX gov Perry indighted. 45795. iiibbb - 8/16/2014 3:22:12 AM #ferguson #demiliterize 45796. iiibbb - 8/16/2014 3:35:10 PM The militerization of the police still bothers me.
Racism still bothers me.
but "It's bad enough they assassinated him, and now they're trying to assassinate his character," Crump said.".
What character was there to assassinate? He just robbed a store 45797. judithathome - 8/16/2014 4:41:25 PM So what? You might be surprised that a LOT of young kids shoplift, even rob. That is hardly a reason to murder them.
Have you never committed an infraction? Never done some little something of which you were not very proud? Don't you think your parents might be a tad upset if you were murdered for walking somewhere you weren't supposed to be walking and then, the police who murdered you thought they ought to make your kid the villain in order to make themselves look justified? THEN, you find out the policeman who murdered your child didn't even KNOW about the shoplifting before he murdered your child.
The parents never claimed this young man was a saint...but you can't tell me that showing that footage of him boosting a pack of cigars is a decent thing for the police to do...especially since the cop they are trying to cover in "justifiable shooting" robes has skipped the state in order to avoid facing any consequences at all. 45798. iiibbb - 8/16/2014 5:26:39 PM Bot situations are bad news... But they guy saying the cops are resorting to character assassination.... What character?
It's hard to justify crowds looting for 5 days when the martyr isn't even much of a martyr.
One thing i'd like to see is small cameras on all cops instead of military surplus. 45799. arkymalarky - 8/16/2014 5:28:48 PM Police brutality has got to be addressed in the age of instant video. And people need to continue to step up and challenge it. Judith is right. The kid's background is irrelevant to his murder. And it was murder and should be treated as such. 45800. arkymalarky - 8/16/2014 5:30:29 PM I agree about the cameras. And there need to be consequences. 45801. iiibbb - 8/16/2014 5:39:28 PM Not irrelevant if he did get physical with the cop first... 45802. judithathome - 8/16/2014 7:01:06 PM Well, I have heard three eyewitness say he did not get physical with the cop, and one said he had his hands raised in surrender even after being shot while running away...in other words, after being shot in the back. Two lawyers who have heard,seen these witnesses testimony said they are telling the truth and are extremely credible witnesses.
And don't blame the looting on the victim...the looting was a crime and was done by people who just needed an excuse, any excuse, to act out. And to be clear, the looting took place over 5 nights time but actually happened on only two of those nights. 45803. Ms. No - 8/16/2014 7:48:57 PM A gun isn't a freeze-ray. Cops should stop using it as such. You don't KILL a suspect for running away. You chase him.
45804. iiibbb - 8/16/2014 8:11:01 PM The cop fucked up. The who.e situation is fucked up.
Cameras on cops like the link above except a switch also attached to the holster That's what I want to see. 45805. anomie - 8/16/2014 10:33:37 PM I think everyone in that town should violate the cerfew tonight. I hope they do. 45806. arkymalarky - 8/16/2014 11:33:49 PM Hey anomie! 45807. anomie - 8/17/2014 1:18:15 AM Hi Arky. Took me a while to find my password...
These Furguson folks keep making one bad decision after another. 45808. iiibbb - 8/18/2014 2:39:45 PM
#1 How’d he get from there to there?
#2 Because he ran, the police was still in the truck – cause he was like over the truck
{crosstalk}
#2 But him and the police was both in the truck, then he ran – the police got out and ran after him
{crosstalk}
#2 Then the next thing I know he doubled back toward him cus - the police had his gun drawn already on him –
#1. Oh, the police got his gun
#2 The police kept dumpin on him, and I’m thinking the police kept missing – he like – be like – but he kept coming toward him
{crosstalk}
#2 Police fired shots – the next thing I know – the police was missing
#1 The Police?
#2 The Police shot him
#1 Police?
#2 The next thing I know … I’m thinking … the dude started running … (garbled something about “he took it from him”)
Brown may have bum-rushed the cop. 45809. iiibbb - 8/18/2014 2:41:03 PM "Here is a transcript from part of that interview:
He pulled up ahead of them. And then he got a call-in that there was a strong-arm robbery. And, they gave a description. And, he’s looking at them and they got something in their hands and it looks like it could be what, you know those cigars or whatever. So he goes in reverse back to them. Tries to get out of his car. They slam his door shut violently. I think he said Michael did. And, then he opened the car again. He tried to get out. He stands up. And then Michael just bum-rushes him and shoves him back into his car. Punches him in the face and them Darren grabs for his gun. Michael grabbed for the gun. At one point he got the gun entirely turned against his hip. And he shoves it away. And the gun goes off. Well, then Michael takes off and gets to be about 35 feet away. And, Darren’s first protocol is to pursue. So, he stands up and yells, “Freeze!” Michael and his friend turn around. And Michael taunts him… And then all the sudden he just started bum-rushing him. He just started coming at him full speed. And, so he just started shooting. And, he just kept coming."
