Ferguson: Did anybody else see what the police did

[3Rfan]

to make those folks so mad? There was a bunch of stuff placed on the street where the shooting took place as a memorial like people always do for something like that. It was actually in the street where the kid had been laying after being shot. It was teddy bears and flowers and that kind of thing. Instead of asking them to remove it from the street the police ran over it with a police car and a canine handler allowed his dog to urinate on it. I haven't seen any comments on this and only saw it once on the news. I can't imagine why anybody would get mad over that! What the heck were these cops thinking?!!!

Maybe we should have some more looting over such misjustice, maybe burn some businesses.

I'm sure that if this actually happened it has been videoed or the sounds of the police cars are on someone's audio tape to his girl friend. Most people don't make shrines on the highway where loved ones have been killed they are on the side of road.

Are you really defending this? Multiple people saw the canine officer allow his dog to hike its leg on the mini shrine.
We are talking about a department that antagonizes African Americans.
There is a lawsuit against Ferguson po po right now because they arrested
the wrong man a few years back, beat him senseless and then charged him
with destruction of public property for bleeding on their uniforms. Really.

This shooting just exploded a powder keg that was being assembled for years.
If you are shocked ny the rioting then you havemt really been paying attention.
The Ferguson police reaped what they sow. Protect and serve all citizens.

Any link to the news of this? Surely somebody has something, it would be all over the Post Disgraces front page.

A link to this or the lawsuit for bleeding would be appreciated.

I don't have a link but it was on cable news, I think it was CNN I was watching at the time. They showed pictures of the stuff in the street as they talked about what police did to enrage the locals. I have not seen any video of what is alleged to have happened, nor I have I seen it mentioned on TV anywhere since then.

I really can't believe there is not more outrage over the shooting that happened a few away with the officers shooting the guy they say had a knife. I couldn't tell in the video if he did or not. He was taunting the police but from what I saw they did NOT have to shoot that dude for sure. He did NOT raise his hand with a knife as the police chief said he did. His hands were at his side the whole time he was jabbering at the police. Neither of the officers even attempted to taser him, they had guns drawn from the time they got out the car and shot him within about 20 seconds of their arrival.

Can't believe no one has heard of Google!
Here is the best story about it, even though it comes from Mother Jones.
