MO - Police officer fatally shoots Vonderrick Myers in south St. Louis #2

[Lovejac]

But Vonderrick was walking around wearing an ankle monitor, and a gun. So when the cop passed by, they probably DID look suspicious. I am sure he drove past other blacks on the street, and didn't try to stop them. But when these three saw the cop car, they probably REACTED in a way that caught the cops attention.

I used to work in a high school. I 'worked' the yard during lunch breaks looking for trouble. I could walk past a hundred kids, no problem. But then three would look up at me as I approached, and from their body language, i could tell if there was something up. If I approached there would be quick movements of hiding things, or pained expressions, etc. LOL But it was not racial, it was body language, and reactive behaviors that would clue me in.

Exactly, Katydid! No way were those 3 the only black males he layed eyes on during his shift. When Vonderrit and his two friends walked out of the store, I saw several other black males in front. Why weren't they stopped? If all black males are profiled, harassed, stopped then why weren't they?

wait until the Nat'l Guard comes back to Ferguson sweetheart!

 

[krimekat]

do these people know this tragedy has nothing to do with Ferguson but with StLC Grand Jury? Dayum -- just plain dumb IMHO

 

[krimekat]

yeah, Michael Brown's tragedy is a bruise on Ferguson IMHO

VOTE!!! Stop griping

 

[krimekat]

um, the protesters have recorded enough what they dish out

 

[krimekat]

LOL - once the speaker contradicted himself, the feed went down for me

He's from JeffCo (Jefferson County) but then said something about being a resident of Ferguson - what LIARS

You have it on video? Is it edited?

What are Jeff county and St Charles people doing at this Ferguson meeting?

 

[Lovejac]

Actually, we don't know this as we do not have access to all witness statements. I would also add that it would be terribly naive of anyone here (not referring to you specifically, of course) to think that most LE do not swear frequently. I know many LE, but I do not know a single one who doesn't swear like a sailor.

And just to show you how varied experiences are, we have 7 friends in LE, 3 that are close friends we hang out with often and I've never heard them swear in over 6 years that we've known them.

Because of that, I feel it's terribly naive of someone to think that most LE DO swear frequently.

Apparently she graduated with a communication/speech major, but dont know where from.

YELL University :laughing:

 

[Dana]

Now I AGREE with this guy...sorta. Stop protesting at the citizens and businesses using fear and violence. I haven't seen it on both sides though.

I know, right? DoJ letting everyone in again? eh, truly disturbing to say the least IMHO

:loveyou: :blowkiss:

Good job buddy! Let them know you're sick of their BS!

Stop the fear and protests, work together on it not against it.

 

[Dana]

Yes lady! You have to vote to get change!

Mayor Slay/Sen Nasheed: city eliminating box on city job applications asking if candidates are convicted of crime.

umm

LOL! I'd love to know the motive behind this. It seems to me that she's assuming a certain race has more crime convictions. Doesn't really matter anyway, so much info can be found on the internet.

Heck, they could come here and we can show them how it;s done for free :giggle:

[Dana]

At least the last few speakers have a positive attitude instead of a negative one. Suggestions for change rather than b!itching.

 

[krimekat]

Gawd - come watch us to see what we're doing? really? geesh
