morons like them don't need to be poked and riled up for no fricking reason and that is what the Chief of Police is doing.

I don't believe that the COP is purposely acting solely to poke and rile up those people. More than likely, he's doing what he believes will defend is department, as misguided as it might be. I'm guessing that's his reasoning. I don't truly think he's sitting back, poking and riling up just for shits and giggles.

Idk. Youre giving the looters a lot of credit. Who's to say they don't go to DW's house instead after learning his name?

They didn't last night and they won't because they know police will shoot them before the step two feet in the neighborhood. They're not as stupid as some of you think

I posted earlier there were patrol cars at Wal-Mart. The police appear to be fine with looting and rioting as long as it's contained to a specific area. I expect that any efforts to I beyond their boundaries will be met with the full force of the law

There's an article about his mom the dailymail. Apparently she was a con artist.

It was only a matter of time before information about him to started to leak

So they don't riot and loot where they know they will find resistance and do riot and loot where they know police will let them. Go figure.

How'd that work out for the occupy people?


They had some other problems. Which is an interesting analogy to this. If I view someone as "the other," I'm less likely to identify with their plight and concerns. So when I see a dirty hippy getting dragged by police, I am predisposed to think "dirty hippy." And I suppose to many here, when they see a kid with dreadlocks getting dragged by police, they may have a similar reaction with different words. I still think that in this case, overall, that would be enough to give them a "win."

Great. Let's start judging everyone by their parents' actions. God, I hate the media.

That damn video.

A normal response to seeing the video would be: "damn, there is more to this story than we thought, it makes sense that a guy getting confronted by police after robbing a store may jump the cop and force the cop to shoot him, more sense than a cop shooting a man on his knees with his hands up"

The rioters and the protestors you are seeing almost all of the time are not the same group of individuals.

The thugs come out after dark to cause trouble.


And yes, I agree, the protestors don't want the truth and won't accept the truth. They just want to hear what they have made up in their heads.

You're kidding right, expect adults to act like adults. Now you've gone too far.


Are we expecting the chief of Police to act like an adult, too? Or just them funny looking people?

Sweet deflection. Yes, again, the police chief is an idiot.

I drove by 142 stores with no police around today. I didn't rob a single one. I must be lazy.
