FPD is the only force that has body cams

StL County PD does not, neither does MSHP

"Last night many of the faces I saw were residents of Ferguson," Ron Johnson said, not outside agitators - In Ferguson unrest

well gosh darn it, we could have told him that.

aside from the "ring leaders," outsiders left weeks ago…there wasn't any action, and they had other places to be, other places to loot, and other places to burn. SMH

but more importantly, do the disrespectful, ill-mannered peeing dogs have them?

Missouri Highway Patrol Capt. Johnson: Last night a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a parking facility. We will not tolerate that behavior.



Newsflash to Capt. Johnson: You did and you do tolerate that behavior. That's the problem.

I do love Officer Ron & what he's trying to convey -- he better step it up now, though, and put his foot down

reminds me of my Orlando buddy, Ron!!!

He never could have done that a month ago. By re-connecting with the community first, he can do that now. The onus IMO is now on the residents to visibly and vocally stand behind LE's efforts. The point was to isolate the criminals from the protesters and residents. I'm hoping that that has occurred now.

glad to see he doesn't seem "ashamed" of his fellow LEOs anymore.

:blush: i don't get what you mean?

If he recognized the faces enough to be Ferguson residents and they broke the law, they need to go arrest them today. Why only make arrests in the heat of the moment. If you don't get them then, go get them while they sleep at 7:00 a.m.

I don't think he was talking about the ones breaking the law but some of the protestors (which is not against the law).

I would have no problem with FPD officers wearing wristbands. The perception of a conflict of interest rises if County officers are wearing them while County officers are supposed to be investigating the shooting in an unbiased manner. And yes, I get that the ones wearing them, if any, aren't the ones investigating, but like I tell kids on the ball team, when you're wearing the uniform, you're representing the whole, not just the individual by your actions.

Capt. Johnson was pitch perfect imo.

Got ya.

Quite frankly, Johnson makes me want uke:

I guess tonight will tell how much LE will be forced to put up with.

I think Capt. Johnson did an excellent job today. JMO
