The case of Michael Brown and Ferguson, Missouri provides a textbook example of what happens when liberal politicians and their lapdogs in the mainstream media decide to present a story the way they want to — facts be damned.
After white Ferguson Police Department officer, Darren Wilson shot and killed the black teenager who just committed a strong-arm robbery of a convenience store, the White House and the media wasted no time in portraying the incident as yet another case of a racist white police officer gunning down an innocent young black man for the sole crime of being black. And it wasn’t just ultra-liberal organizations such as MSNBC and the New York Times who ran with the “racist cop” story. Even CNN — who attempts to maintain some semblance of fairness — featured a panel of commentators with their hands raised claiming “hands up, don’t shoot.”
This “hands up, don’t shoot” narrative was quickly debunked by forensic evidence and eyewitness testimony, leading investigators to conclude that Officer Wilson shot Brown in self-defense.
Since then, the Ferguson PD has cleaned house in an attempt to court good will among the community’s black residents. Last week, the city of Ferguson swore in its first African-American police chief — one who makes no secret his desire to change what he believes is a racist criminal justice system. To read Chief Delrish Moss’ warning to his fellow officers — not to criminals — continue reading on the next page:
What’s wrong with what he said?
A threat? Telling your employees to do your job right is a threat?
Nothing like reposting old news. I said it last week and I’ll say it again – as a person who spent 41+ years in uniform, including 10-1/2 years on the border – I see nothing wrong with the new chief’s message to his officers; your job l’ll back you, make an honest mistake, I’ll work with you, but do something deliberately wrong…you’re fucked. Sounds like a Chief that what’s to have his officers do their jobs the right way. Now if he would issue a statement to the criminals directly well that’d be nice but you know what? The only officers who may be worried about the new chief and his “edict” are officers who need to question their motives on the job. Most LEOS are honest, hardworking, and do their job fairly. The only time you hear otherwise is when the a bad officer – and yes there are bad officers- do something they shouldn’t or the media, like with Michael Brown/Ferguson, MO make a good cop, doing his job and fighting for his life, into a murderer of an alleged “child victim.” You try to take a LEO’s gun…you are going to get shot.
Threat definitely. Pure cockeyed thinking too. He can discern whether you’ve made a mistake or you just acted with malice? What b******t. You can bet that token will use a loose interpretation procedures manual.
How would you define acting with respect for the community?
It’s cute that idiots will see him as telling people to do their job with respect and within the law as some negative threat… Be careful your ignorance and programming is showing you statist tools
Following the Law, constitution and protecting rights… Stop victimizing citizens for revenue and control. How do you define it Randy?
Absolutely nothing Jeff unless you’re an ignorant tool
You’re exactly the type of tool who should resign
I would tell him to shove the job up his$#%&!@*so far that he could taste the$#%&!@*he’s saying , because if your a good cop your you are still.rotten in that society
