Sorry, I read it wrong. But yeah everybody thinks these kids are the darlings of the neighborhood until they dig a little & find differently. But then the media is accused of using smear tactics.
I just don't think that the general public understand the psychological testing cops go through. Racists just don't make it on the force, cities don't want the civil and federal rights liabilities. You want to know why their aren't more black or other color cops? Its because people of minority race have skewed views on justice and tend to be reverse racist themselves. I'm sorry but those were the facts observed by my dad after 30 years as a LEO. Even with major affirmative action drivers, they just didn't get the numbers of qualified minority recruits that could pass psyche.
That lower std experiment was actually tried to disastrous results....which brings us to present day. Its not actually studying.....or physically training. The issues are generational group psyche. When my dad went into the secret service, they interviewed 200-500 references. The FBI told my dad they had 2 negative reports out of 500....and he named them....he passed. Now cops don't go through that level, but interviews, references and phycological eval is standard procedure. We don't have more minority cops because they don't meet our standards for being peace officers. No one wants the police profession watered down. So we have to ask the hard questions. The community leaders that protest are as much of their own long term problems. Justice begins at home. When I see a cop, I see the badge and the color blue....not white yellow or brown. Too many minorities think that law can be selectively applied...that isn't justice. Sad to say that the attorney general or president get this either.
This picture is not Brown. It's from a murder case in Portland Oregon. These two losers shot their grandmother and stole her car.
Your right on the money Tom. Watching my Little BIG brother going thru the LASD Academy, the testing to get into the Academy, then thru it to pass, and get your badge is something about 1 out of 3000 people can pass. A high rate of Cadets DO NOT pass the Academy testing. Testing is so intense, the psych testing alone, goes on for days. Again, about 50% of Cadets who pass the 1st psych test out of several, often fail during later, more intense testing. The initial test to gain entrance into the Academy is where 1 out of 3000 fail. I can't say enough, to add to what you've already stated. My Bro passed with flying colors, and was the epitome of a GOOD Deputy. Get this my sister 18 yrs. my younger majored in Criminal Psychology at Cal Poly Pomona. She FAILED, the initial psych testing for the LASD, LAPD, San Bernadino Deputy, FBI, and several other Law Enforcement agencies. All this with a Master's in Psych, and She failed over and over. So much for her degree, Her Diploma is now good for only toilet paper.
It doesn't matter who or where these thugs were. They're NO DIFFERENT, than the shit in Fergy. You see, where the media, and public strewed opinion reports false info is: In Fergy last night, Many people congregated in a parking lot, standing there in rebellion for hours. Cops told them after those hours, of breaking the law, by an unlawful assembly, to disperse, did they, HELL NO. THEY, BROKE THE LAW. Not the Cops who went in and arrested 48? people/law breakers. ... Yet the news casts a bad shadow over the cops enforcing the law, to the lawless thugs. The Cops only did their jobs by enforcing the law, noted herein. Why are the Cops being made out to be bullies, biased. when all they ar doing is Serving like their charter tells them to do. F'k Fergy, I wish they nuke the entire population, of thugs, liars, racists, biased mother forkers....It wouldn't bother me a gosh damned bit, assholes like these rioters need to be incarcerated, or disposed of, end of story. Like I said earlier, please yield respectfully with more thought to your posts...! Why, cuz you lack the experiences of the National shit, in other words, if you lived, and were of age during the Kent State Massacre, you'd know what your talking about. National Guard was deployed by Nixon, 12 people shot, 4 dead. ALL WERE CAUCASIAN COLLEGE KIDS WHO HAD NO MOLOTOV COCKTAILS, GUNS OR ROCKS, THEY WERE PEACEFULLY DEMONSTRATING OVER THE VIETNAM WAR. Why were they shot, when they were having a peaceful assembly 1- they were breaking the Law with no authorization to assemble in their College, was that grounds to shoot them, HELL NO. When your a Cop, or if you have a Cop in your Family, then you'd understand, comprehend, maybe even get a sight of SAMADHI, you'd know, a riot, non-peaceful attack on a Cop is never going to end in a peaceful resolution. Please go back and watch the Kent St. Video, posted earlier. You may just get a clue....!!!
Honestly tote, I don't see any difference, and will respectfully agree to disagree on this one. A thug is a thug, both men resisted arrest and were armed. Same shit. I'll stand my ground on this one til the Sun burns out. Why, cuz I come from a Law Enforcement Family. Many of my Brother's best Friends, are also mine. Everyone on this post, needs to look at many videos of Cops being shot injured or Killed by law breakers, often during a routine traffic stop. There's more You Tube videos, which reveal as much. What's the differences? NONE......all those videos show Cops simply doing their jobs, without provoking the thugs, then get shot. Most of those guys have kids too. F'k the thugs, shit is shit, no matter where or who it happens to. Both of Us come from Law Enforcement Families. I know you to know as much, maybe more......I have no compassion for blatant thugs.....none.....
Rob you are living proof that even people of your age can speak intelligently. All kidding aside, very well said my friend. I said it then, I'll say it now...Kent state never should have happened.
LOL, only when I get excited My dear Friend. Thank you Rick....I'm glad you and I, and a few others here, were more than of age, during the Kent St. Massacre, makes this Fergy shit look like a racists temper tantrum which it is.....
Some things just stick with you, the assassinations of John & Bobby Kennedy & MLK. Vietnam, The moon walk & Kent state to name a few. Compared to these things this Ferguson shit it more like a pimple on an elephants ass.
Amen brother, nothing but a racists tantrum out of control. I remember all those events as well as if they happened yesterday now those were the shit, compared to the bullshit in mizzou....!
So the draw dropper this morning was the reaction to a quote from an LAPD officer and professor (criminal justice) that said to the effect...."if you don't want to be taxed, pepper sprayed, shot, beaten with a baton, etc. You must follow the instruction of the police officer(s) you have encountered. Then everyone will end up safe." And the talking head on TV said....yeah but do people know this and understand this? OMFG! This is what we get for generations of gold stars just for showing up, etc. Rules don't apply to people, everything is a negotiation, etc. Heck we have a govt that brags about selective application of the rule of law. Yes people...cops are the most black and white mechanism you'll find next to a judge. That said I'm pretty worried that this cop doesn't get a fair shake. And if that happens, there's another tipping point that will make the protesters look like Sunday school. If cops decide to sit out, things will get ugly real fast.
Hey Rob...just saying that pic wasn't the right perp. No need to embellish the thug, his actions and their consequences will be known to all very soon.
Amen, I pray public outcry doesn't strew the justice the Cop deserves, justice meaning he was only doing his job while under duress and threat...^^^
Yeah' I know Tom, I didn't mean disagree with you in any way, was trying to say anyone seeing a difference b/t the 2 incidents, have not a clue. They're eerily similar yet no riots prevailed....... Little Brother, I got no need to debate you or disagree with ya'. Cuz your always right.....
Can't believe were only now learning the degree to which this cop was beaten by Michael Brown. Current federal and state laws dictate that Dorian Johnson, Browns accomplice be arrested for the murder of Brown. Brown was not only a thug, but a dangerous felon.
