These sonsabitches in Ferguson can't afford dash cameras but they can afford assault vehicles, weapons and riot gear, I think we're seeing the future of law enforcement and for white, black, Hispanics etc. it aint good.

I would love to hear about the last improper police shooting that involved a white male without mental problems (the last qualification is because the cops DO hate crazy people without regard to race).

Impeccable reading comperhension. Not the point of the OP.
In reference to the OP, most of the $ comes from the feds specifically to buy this military style shite, the feds sell it to them ridiculously cheap, or the feds just give it away. What police department wouldn't take free stuff?

Law enforcement should be required to have the cameras for their own protection, this sh!t storm in Ferguson may have been less volatile if the police had footage backing up the officers account of the altercation, not sure what law enforcement gets free from the feds but I think the dash cameras are reasonably priced, gotta get'm.

A lot of that military hardware is given to them by the federal government. The pentagon said they gave out $500 million in hardware and grants to local and state police forces just last year.
Remember Obama saying in 2008 that "we can't continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we have set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded."
Here's a LINK to a video describing how the federal government has been building a domestic army with standardized equipment, tactics, and training.

It was the St Louis County Police with all the fancy military toys, not the Ferguson police.
But yeah, the Ferguson police is pretty terrible. They once beat the crap out of a kid and charged him with getting blood on their uniforms.

Improper police shooting?
Yeah, that poor little ghetto lad and his friends are just all victims --
Good thing you haven't jumped to any conclusions.
And, the irony of your statement is that EVEN IF there is an "improper police shooting that involved a white male" you'd never hear about it because your Komrades in the Mainstream Media won't give a sh!t and they wouldn't have the faces of the Rev-uh-runds Al and Jesse to stick a camera in front of.

You won't because it doesn't generate ratings and white people generally don't go ape shite / borderline retarded and start rioting when it happens.
Letting the law play itself out...imagine such a novel concept.
People have every right to be upset whenever someone unarmed is killed, but it's extremely difficult to garner support for your side when you're looting, rioting and destroying property like you're in some third world country.
What's worse is that these people feel that their destruction and looting of other people's property is completely justified.

Yeah I remember which makes the militarization of local law enforcement really disturbing, if we need local police this heavily armed sh!t's fixin to get real serious. Generally not into NWO/Alex Jones sh!t but the past few years have made me wonder if some of his rants are not unfounded.

I thought all that was St Louis County police not ferguson. You may need to check this out before the internet rage.

Gang affiliation alone doesn't justify shooting an unarmed civilian.

No it doesnt and anyone who says it does is an idiot. What it does do is offer some counter to the narrative in the media of a "choir boy".

So you are not gonna respond to the statements that point out you were wrong in your OP?

Please share with us your experience in LE and how you arrived to this conclusion.

Definitely agree.
However, putting that information out there, does a decent job of counterbalancing the media trying to portray someone as an ideal law abiding citizen.
On either end of the scale, you're trying to influence perception one way or the other. If you just let the media put up picture of a guy when he's clean cut, smiling, etc... you are lighting a fire underneath an already angry, unstable group of people.

Another poster on PT who illustrates hypocrisy in one post.
And he's probably not smart enough to even notice it.

And I think this isn't necessarily irrelevant, but it's a very weak ancillary point. Very few people, imo, would pass a "choir boy" test. I hate the term "innocent". When I defend a client in a criminal matter, I don't want the judge or jury to see the person, but the action. The actions are what determine guilty or not guilty.
We shouldn't be looking at who Brown was, but rather what he did at that particular moment. Did his actions justify the police taking his life? That's the question.
