TWO Cops Shot in Ferguson

[marcinstl]

action news update---
they have 20 yr. old Jeffrey Williams held on $300K cash bail. right now he is the alleged shooter. supposedly was firing at people or just the crowd from a car, with some kind of .40 handgun from a block or so away(estimated at 125 yds.) 20 yr. old shooting from a car(probably holding the gun sideways?), sounds like the 2 cops that got the bullets were just in the wrong place.

Ferguson is the wrong place for sure. The cops who were shot were from neighboring departments specially assigned there to help them handle the "demonstrations" of contempt for law enforcement brought on by the Obama administration's condemnation of the department, (after reluctantly admitting they could find nothing at all to blame them for in the self defense killing of the thug.)

I would have refused to go to that "wrong place." When the president of the United States publicly encourages and condones disrespect for a police agency, is there any power on earth that could get you to put on a police uniform and go there? I wouldn't blame all the cops in that department if they quit and told the residents to call Eric Holder or Al Sharpton next time they're mugged, robbed or raped.

The cops who were shot were from neighboring departments specially assigned there to help them handle the "demonstrations" of contempt for law enforcement brought on by the ongoing mismanagement and political misdealings so prevalent in many metro areas. once the nations police dept.'s get back to an agenda based on public safety and not revenue generation and corruption, they will be well regarded in the community. (there have been instances where cops who want to do the public safety job have quit and refused to be ticket salesmen. I applaud them!)
as to regulating the actions of 20 yr. old sociopaths with .40 handguns--- that's for another thread.
(blaming Urkel, Holder, the cartoon character called Sharpton is an easy way out. looking for blame in Ferguson, starts in Ferguson, right at city hall.)

Agreed, it's like blaming Bush for the local and state's wretched and borderline treasonous response to hurricane Katrina. Both the corrupt Democrat Mayor Nagin and slack-butt Republican Governor were incompetent. Bush's fault was trusting them, and his Horse Club buddy Brownie to take care of business, but Kayne was entirely wrong to say he "hates black people."

It would also be like complimenting Obama for an exceptional police-community example. Don't take credit it blame from the locals - they're the ones who are doing (and not) the real work.

As a part of the December revelations or a new admission? http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/14/justic...s-credibility/

That is from a tweet from Dinesh D'Souza on March 5th. I don't know when the witness admitted to her lie.

Ok got it, thanks. I really really really hope Wilson ends up with his life back intact. I've seen absolutely nothing that indicates he personally acted improperly in any way.

Man admits to shooting to Ferguson Police Officers. Denies aiming at Police. Currently being charged with several crimes. He was out on probation at the time of the shootings.

out on probation---how nice.

the story going around here in STL is that the gun man was in a car(see "drive by") and it wasn't a 125yd. shot(s). that makes more sense. (hickok45's 36" gong is out at 80 yds. just for reference).
wonder when they'll pick up the driver and other passengers of the car?
(who is Dinesh D'Souza? and why is a tweet from him some kind of news? )

wow

Dinesh D'Souza is an author and movie maker, that is taking on Obama, and trying to show people what a fraud he is, along with his administration. He made the movie called "2016: Obama's America", that is pretty sobering. He has a new movie out "America: Imagine a World Without Her". That take on the leftist and apologetics, and those that want to tear this country down.

I hate and loath Indian movies, they always have that goofy Bollywood dance and singing scene in the middle and then again at the end. when did American conservatives fall in love with Wogs? fear the Mexicans, love the curry eaters? ah, ya lost me there.

"The demonstrations and riots in Ferguson, Missouri, had burned themselves out, in part because it was hard to sustain the outrage against “racist cops” after the narrative about the shooting of Michael Brown fell apart.

No, he wasn’t an innocent kid; he was a brutish strong-arm robber. No, police officer Darren Wilson did not attack Brown; it looks like it was the other way around, just as the officer claimed. And no, Brown did not have his hands up and wasn’t imploring the officer not to shoot; he had turned around and was charging toward him. So the whole “hands up, don’t shoot” narrative—trumpeted in the media for months—was based on a lie.

And yet now the Ferguson riots are back, reinflamed, resulting in the shooting of two police officers late last week by an attacker who was just arrested by Ferguson police. (Early reports indicate that he claims he was shooting at someone else and not at police. That seems implausible, but we’ll see how it holds up.)

How did this happen? Well, in part it was because the Ferguson Narrative was resurrected—and it was resurrected deliberately."

[The explanation, for those who care and aren't just trying to inflame the forum, is worth reading on The Federalist, here]
