Apparently there are over a dozen eye-witnesses that have come forward that support the police officers version of events... but you won't hear about any of them on the lame stream media because they have an agenda to push.

Interesting transcript, so what do we have a hopped up perp and a cop, a lone cop. What happen to backup, not patroling alone and cameras in the car, but then I guess this is backwoods Missouri not hell hole Chicago

[smoothy]

Most cops work alone around here, I don't even see cops 2 to a car in DC most times. Can't comment on Chicago... I only passed through there 4 times in my life and I didn't linger. Rememebr when this went down.. it was just another day and no degenerates were rioting.

[paraclete]

Yes you are right no one suspected two louts would do over a storekeeper and just wander down the road as if no one cared, obviously they expected the cops to be asleep, or eating donuts or whatever

This is well written and well done:

Bit of a stretch there Karma. I have a fair idea what would happen here because we have seen it and the darker members of the community got tired of their protest after three days, but then they weren't opposed by the military. The situation there is you have police and agitators and the locals are caught in between and it will go on until the agitators are persuaded that they should go elsewhere. It would be helpful, no doubt, if the officer involved were placed in custody pending a hearing. In saying that I am not assigning blame but recognising that the circumstances were somewhat extraordinary and there is a perception of onesided treatment in the community, These guys need to learn that where there is racial tension that policing should be handled as far as possible by police from that racial group.

In other countries I have no doubt authorities would be much more heavy handed and intolerant of agitators and protestors generally. You need to also recognise that this isn't trial by media and starting a legal process changes that game

[NeedKarma]

Bit of a stretch there Karma.

Not at all. It's a parody on the wording and language the media uses to report items in other countries. I think it's extremely well done and eye opening.

What floors (and annoys) me is that degenerates are coming in from other places -- Chicago, NYC, and even California! -- like moths to a flame, to add to the chaos with robbing stores and firing pistols and picking fights with cops. A TV reporter just mentioned that many of the arrests last night were of out-of-towners who are also pushing the cops to get them to fire their guns to cause even more mayhem.

I wouldn't be surprised if Al Sharpton is involved, he is always around to stir up trouble in these kinds of situations where there is racial tension.

[paraclete]

didn't I see a video of him addressing the crowd, he is part of the equation

[talaniman]

Families and local clergy always call him in. He is a prominent black activist whether white people like him or not.

[smoothy]

Activist?. more like blowhard. He's only in it for himself and to line his own pockets... same as Jesse Jackson. Neither of them give a damn about anyone else.

[talaniman]

I say the same about Rush Limbaugh so what?

[smoothy]

Rush Limbaugh doesn't parade around begging for money from anyone pretending to want to help them. Rush Limbaugh also speaks for himself... Rush earns his own money, he doesn't go around begging others for it, he doesn't pretend to be the voice of white america UNLIKE Sharpton and Jackson claim to be for blacks... who appointed them to that position anyway? Seems to me they self appointed themselves. I know a LOT of blacks that say neither of those two speak for them or for their benefit.
Rush and those two blowhards couldn't be more different in every possible way.

[paraclete]

What does it matter whose stirring up the crowd, fact is it is happening

[smoothy]

And if it was Klansmen doing it... they would be in jail for inciting to riot. But its obvious some people under this administration and this Attourney General are above the law, as proven many times over the last 6 years.

Tonight the looters might be shot and killed!

[smoothy]

We can only hope.

Tonight the looters might be shot and killed!

Oh, goodness!

[Wondergirl]

One can only hope....
