According to former Atlanta Mayor, and the guy who Jimmy Carter’s abysmal ambassador to the United Nations, Andrew Young, the Ferguson, Missouri, Police Department needs to dial down its heavy paramilitary presence and look to do more community policing. Is he, like, joking or something? Has he been watching what these blacks have been doing in the name of yet another black thug shot by the police? Does he really think that more "community policing’ would have actually prevented such animalistic behavior? Somehow I doubt it!
In the wake of the Aug. 9 fatal shooting of Michael Brown, a black teen who, if you’ve seen the video of him robbing a local convenience store, was a rather sizable individual, the community has since erupted into what is essentially nothing more than a series of mindless violent protests. Blacks have seen this as an opportunity to do that which they do best. Destroy whatever they feel like and do a little looting. And personally I think that the police have been quite restrained in how that have chosen to respond, using little more than tear gas on protesters.
The officer who is now accused of committing this supposed heinous crime was, of course, white. And as is usually that case that’s all that was necessary for blacks, and not only those in the community of Ferguson, but all across the country, to go on what is seen as being a typical behavior for such people. That is of course to use such an event as nothing more than the opportunity to take part in what is nothing more than the equivalent of a shopping spree for blacks. A bro can always use a new pair of kicks or a new flat screen for the crib.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has since ordered the National Guard to Ferguson in an attempt to get a handle on the continuing unrest. Young told radio host J.D. Hayworth that "approaching a crowd with all of that military gear, the presence of tanks, that’s really not for local problems," he said. "The police have to be a part of the community." That may sound pretty good in theory, but it seldom ever works especially in the community. How exactly would he chose to have cops approach such a mob?
Young claimed that he didn’t blame the police, but did suggest that law enforcement try to be more "actively involved" there and engage in more community policing. "It’s a matter of respect and in domestic politics and in law enforcement, even the most hostile environments have to be met with respect for the citizenry," he said. "I used to say to my policemen, these are the people who pay your salary." Yup, and their the same people who create the environment in their neighbors where cop are made to be fear of the lives. And why is that?
Somebody really should remind this old boob that respect is a two way street. Because I don’t see the tossing of a Molotov cocktail at the police as being an act of respect , by anyone’s definition. And how is it being respectful to chant for the death of a cop? Young said the situation in Ferguson is deteriorating, and that Nixon’s decision to send in the National Guard, as well as Eric ‘The Racist’ Holder’s order for a third autopsy, done by the federal government, "probably will help because it will back down both groups.
New York City’s former Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Michael Baden, performed a private autopsy at the request of Brown’s family. The results showed six shots, four in the arm, and two in the head. According to CNN, a less than reliable source, witnesses said that Brown was unarmed and on his knees with his hands up when the police officer shot him. Authorities say Brown attacked the officer in his car and tried to take his gun. Sorry, but as of right now I tend to side with the authorities and not with CNN or The New York Times.
And, you know, I’ll say this again only because I think it bears repeating. This black ‘teen’ was a pretty big fella, and if I’m average sized cop up against someone of his size, and if I even think he might be going for my gun, then I’m going to have only one response. And the end result is going to that there is going to be another dead black. And once again, just as with Trayvon Martin, we were told what a great ‘kid’ this guy was, and how he was a model citizen. Well let me tell ya something, model citizens don’t rob convenience stores.
