No indictment for officer in Brown shooting

I would have liked to have your post translated to one of the native languages but was told the word "consequences" is not in vocabularies of most the the Filipino dialects. I refused to let the interpreter use the word "denial".

 

Like "NORMAL" let anyone try and determine/define either that or "DENIAL" two words that seem to be so very misunderstood here OR... is it just me?

When I was discharged from the military, I came oh so close to the city of Covina California hiring me and sending me to the Los Angeles County Police Academy. That didn't quite work out but I wonder what kind of training I would have received to counter a 6'5" 300 lb. guy charging at me? Would not have mattered, my marine corps experience would have taken control and I would have shot the dude, regardless of race, color, or religion. Personally, I am happy the officer was not found guilty by the grand jury.

 

Right On, tough guys! But then, I'm not trying to be popular here. Something must be done about unarmed kids committing suicide by challenging armed police.

Mickey Brown was having a bad kid day. If Wilson had let him reach his destination still walking in the street this wouldn't be news. Is 'failure to obey' now grounds for summary execution? Like for the 12-year old in a park with a toy gun? And the kid playing in a toy department also gunned down recently?

I think 'Serve and Protect' expecially applies to these kids. These 'militarized' police are a threat to all of us. As kid wandering the neighborhood with a BB gun, a 22, a shotgun, I never worried that some *hole cop would make his day with me.

This ain't the America where I grew up or wanted to grow old in. Big Brother, KMA!

 

People are angry with the lack of indictment by the grand jury.
Why?
There has not been one complaint about the evidence presented and no one claims that evidence was suppressed.
Reportedly there has been looting. Hundreds of pairs of Air Jordans, TV and microwave ovens but not one pair of work boots.

You probably grew up where people didn't attack cops.

Where I grew up we did what the police said and complained later if the cop was off base.

 

When I was growing up and was an underage teen a-hole, I got a few well-deserved minor beatings from the local police who were tired of our group drinking and causing trouble. No one complained, stole any U.S. Keds sneakers, or set the paint store on fire. Btw, none of us talked back to the police.

 

The rioting and looting is deplorable. Unfortunate that the kids killed recently were Black and I'm sure no racism involved. Personally, many Blacks, Mexicans & Native Americans have gone far past halfway to reach out and befriend me so I try to see past the results of events like this.

I'm honored to dissent. Tell the cops to eat another doughnut and let the children live. There's no terrorists here, no weapons and no shots fired by them. Just kids growing up in a difficult world. Or not. The cops are trained this way, the blame goes to the politicians. Wilson antagonized the kid when he should have been concerned with preserving the kids life. Can he face the parents with this excuse?

I have kids these ages and don't want them threatened by these overzealous 'Public Safety' officials. I tell my kids to avoid any attention from them in fear of becoming candidates for their 'livelihood' programs.

When someone invades your home at night I bet you'll defend the right to defend yourself. Too often it's a swat team with the wrong address and if you die defending your 'rights', then too bad, agree? It's also OK when they shoot your dog?

I polled my family and the results are unanimous. As a Dad I couldn't be more proud!
