I have to call you out.

I don’t care what the media says. I expect them to get it wrong and they often do. But I expect you as a veteran law enforcement commander—talking about law enforcement—to get it right.

Unfortunately, you blew it. After days of rioting and looting, last Thursday you were given command of all law enforcement operations in Ferguson by Governor Jay Nixon. St. Louis County PD was out, you were in. You played to the cameras, walked with the protestors and promised a kinder, gentler response. You were a media darling.

GSPC getting a lot of support from his area! I'm sure he's gained a ton of respect in the law enforcement community.

Yeah, nothing could have gone wrong with his 'hug a thug' approach.

Yea it doesn't matter which way you take on the officer involved shooting....the willingness to allow the looting and general criminal activity to occur in the city after the fact is unacceptable.
