Ferguson Cop Points Gun At Protesters And Press, Screams "I Will F***ing Kill You", Has Been "Relocated"
In the aftermath of recent violent events and now that even the US Attorney General has arrived, one would assume that the Ferguson police had at least some "sensitivity" training about how to approach protesters, especially those "armed" with cameras. Not in this case. The footage below out of Ferguson shows a police officer pointing his gun directly at protesters and reporters while screaming "I’m going to f***ing kill you!"
The clip shows a Ferguson officer with his gun raised pointing it directly at a citizen journalist who was live streaming at the time: the incident was witnessed by Infowars reporter Joe Biggs who was also filming the incident.
"My hands are up bro, my hands are up," states the journalist before the cop responds, "I’m going to f***ing kill you, get back, get back!"
"You’re going to kill him?” asks another individual before the journalist asks, “did he just threaten to kill me?"
When the cop is asked for his name he responds, "go fuck yourself."
It didn't end there.
As Infowars reports, "another clip shows the officer pointing his gun as protesters demand he lower the weapon. A second cop intervenes to make the officer lower his weapon as more irate demonstrators demand to know the officer’s name."
The officer’s response to people asking for his name almost immediately prompted the launch of the Twitter hashtag #officergofuckyourself.
Biggs live tweeted the incident, and also took this photograph of the cop.
The incident is certain to provoke curiosity as to just how the local Police department is handling the de-escalation of local tensions.
As for police officer #officergofuckyourself, it appears he is no longer "on location."
Quick work by ACLU: Highway patrol called. They identified the cop. He will no longer be in ferguson. https://t.co/7UDGhV9cyK

One also wonders: if not in Ferguson, just where can this pleasant, if "relocated", individual be encountered?

I wonder what would happen if I pointed one of my rifles at a cop and told him I was going to kill him. Would I lose my job? Or maybe I would just get put on leave for a few days?
Sounds to me like this man has a future at DHS.
Stand your ground law meet crazy cop threatening to kill people for no reason.
Stand your ground only means no duty to retreat. Nothing more.
Peace officers eh?

If a normal citizen did this it would be brandishing and assault.
This cop ain't normal, he's not even respectable. He's got a major problem with power / control. He's a freak, a lunatic, and an asshole.
Since his picture is plastered all over the real media now (as opposed to a few cable channels owned by Fed shareholders), it will be interesting to see how he gets treated in return.
He should be relocated to some asylum, it dont matter where he goes, hes an empowered menace to society.
Just send him back to the IDF for retraining.
Yes!
Big deal. I'm sick of all the sensationalism by ZH. I've been a big fan of ZH since it's infancy, but not so much any more.
Jeff Cooper, Art of the Rifle
Where are the videos of the mob yelling fuck you at the cops and spitting on them?
I hate the police state, but I also appreciate law and order.
I am glad I am not a cop in that situation. That is a shitty job.
"To serve and protect "
He's just so thrilled and excited to have someone put a gun in his hand.
You must be a special kind of stupid to try to engage a roided out cop with a shaved head holding a rifle at the ready in a stressfull situation like a mob.
new rule: cops must wear a full head of hair. plus, mandatory drug testing for steroids every 30 days.
Even a name tag would be an improvement.
Hey, big tough police guy. Tall Tom lives at 12223B Woodside Avenue, Lakeside, CA USA. Why don't you take your little pea shooter over there and tell Tom you're going to fucking kill him? Maybe he'll invite you in for coffee.
-Chumblez.
That cop looks fucking scared.
Isn't there a law about Uttering Death Threats?
I count three felonys if a non-special group were to do that...brandishing, threatening with a gun (pointing...as opposed to merely showing it), explicitly verbal threatening deadly harm, assault (probably tied to all three). And all that while facing cameras and no explicit or implicit threats.
It really goes to show the difference between the slaves and the priviliged slave class.
Utterly disgusting. 'relocated my ass', justice is equal treatment before the law, we are a far cry from that.
Posters...?
I agree, they should all be tested for steroids monthly.
Taking guns on patrol only confuses them and makes the job at hand harder, no guns for cops.
The law seems like a one way street in these parts of society.
Yep, cops are fine outstanding Caucasians who will definitely not turn their psychotic behavior on their Caucasian brothers and sisters once they've dealt with the Negroes...

Holy shit. That is something to be scared of. Little did he know.
Hedgeless, I’m proud to give you a vote up. And I’m amazed at the poor judgment of this ZH lynch mob: picturing how wonderfully quiet and professional this lynch mob would be if it were faced with attack cameras and consistent verbal abuse and baiting, especially with the kind of pressure on this particular police force, is a little difficult given their hysteria. I can tell by their comments their "equanimity" wouldn't last five minutes.
If Ferguson has policemen who are unprofessional let them be disciplined, removed from duty, etc., but where is this hang 'em mentality coming from?
I was attacked on the sidewalk at night by four or five blacks during a widespread power blackout around Christmas time a few years ago in downtown San Francisco. While I was beating them off as best I could, had I not cried out at the same time for a policeman who was directing traffic in the almost complete blackness, I probably wouldn’t be writing this tonight.
"faced with attack cameras"
Holy Shit! Attack Cameras! Watchout!
300 mm attack camera lens, no less, biatch!
Some of those attack cameras can even "shoot" 15 fps!
And he did'nt even mention the blinding fucking flash! It will make you go blind faster than masturbation.
You have to aggressively and punitively respond to those Attack Cameras with M16s and death threats to control them. Who knows? The press may even conceal tiny P&S cameras in their pants. No one can will see their shots coming!
Ferguson: Engineered Race Riots By Who Exactly
That's one way to look at it. The other is if you had been carrying a firearm yourself, and knew how to use it, you wouldn't have had to have been lucky that a cop was nearby.
Make your own luck next time.
You left out "going armed to the terror of the public." Too bad they can't be reprogrammed to go armed to the terror of the bankers.
Doesn't anybody recognize sarcasm when they see it?
I agree. That cop looks fucking scared.
And that's what I find scary. Scared people don't always think straight. Scared people can make mistakes. The big shitstorm could easily begin because of one frightened individual instead of someone with actual evil intent.
What if his gun had gone off by accident? It's likely half the cops there would have immediately opened fire. This country is right at the edge, lots of people playing with matches while standing in a pool of gasoline.
Training training training training training training training training training mutherfucking training.
These guys obviously don't know shit. And Officer Gofuk Yuself shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a badge ever again.
PTSD; Press Traumatic Stress Disorder. License to kill and get away with it. Guys that freaking scary looking should never be handed a badge in the first place. I remember starting my work career at what is now a large regional brokerage(mail room, relax) and having to take a psychological test as a condition of hiring. Do PD's even attempt to do this? Or is this exactly what they want? Any wonder people don't trust the majority of POs anymore? PD's in general? There will come a time when a crowd really does open up on those in riot gear and the consequences will be dire, for both sides...
They do. You can actually be disqualified for a high IQ. Not something the police hold in high regard.
Yeah, they say that you'll get bored being a cop if your IQ is above a certain level, so there is an IQ cutoff point.
I say they do it because if you're too smart, you're less likely to follow unlawful orders.

Scared people don't think straight & make mistakes like we all do. Tinder box situation here in the midwest of the empire.
Yep. He's scared for his life. I'm not the one to judge his emotional state just from a video but, that dude is stressed. fucking. OUT. Can't say that I wouldn't be in better shape after 11 days of this shit but he needs a 'time-out'.

Video cameras can do that to you if you are worried that you might be a total fuck-up on a pogo-stick.
Fucking cops know how excessively brutal they are in reality, so trying to do their 'job' on camera must be near-impossible and highly stressful.
Hahaha. All the fucking paid liars and abusers are finding out that they can't get away with what the previous generations could do. #officergofuckyourself, everyone knows you now, and we can hunt you down (socially) if we want to...
Can you imagine if someone had thown a rock, bottle or water balloon at Officer GoFuckYourself? He would have started shooting until his clip was empty.
Actually, it would be his magazine.
That's kinda fucked up that you kept that info.
Who else are you keeping files on?
Tall Tom has published it before and encouraged others to come meet him in his front yard...
... encouraged other [ZH posters] to come meet him in his front yard...
That cop probably couldn't get past the captcha, and almost certainly doesn't post on ZH.
Let Tall Tom invite the cop, if he wishes,
Not cool to take away his own choice of when to post something like that ...
Don't need a new case of "suicide by cop".
You fucking idiot.
Jesus Christ...
There's a policy that no one talks about in Missouri and everyone knows what it is. Trust me...this has nothing to do with race. There's only one reason you point a gun at an unarmed journalist and then thhreaten to kill him. "Everybody knows it just can't be published."
Forgive me's Comrad, did not means to blow your covers.
This is what happens when you hire rejects as police officers...
Or when only rejects apply for the job ....
At least he applied and got a job, unlike many others in the crowd.
That is a very intelligent observation.
If the rioters and cops all had jerseys with names on them, then things would likely be very different.
The first step to abusing someone is to be/become desensitized to the humanity of the person or people you are going to abuse.
<Blacks/Negros/African Americans have been dehumanized in the eyes of non blacks for centuries, so doing so today ain't that difficult.>
Add cops to your list. That's what's going on now.
I thought they called that the NFL...
Ouch....that's gonna leave a mark.
That's right in line with my favorite cure for the violence in the Middle East: new clothing requirements: Everyone must wear baggies, flip-flops and tee-shirts, without exception. You can't hide a bomb in your baggies.
Usually they like to wear the Darth Vader costumes with their faces covered up.
"Land of the free, home of the brave."
Yeah . . . . . right.
They couldn't fit "Officer Gofuckyourself" on the name tag.
How ‘bout mandatory testing for DONUTS every 30 minutes? ;-)
Looney

Do you understand how close we are to a "Boston Massacre" moment? Do you understand the implications of that? Are we supposed to be kind and understanding to them while they point guns at us?
Are you blind to the context?
Are you blind to the context?
No, but I think you are.
If (when) we push them over the edge, we win.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-08-19/under-what-conditions-can-us-ar...
A) A job for the police
B) A job for the Second Amendment
C) A job for American soldiers
D) A and B
E) None of the above (Let 'em burn their own neighborhood and kill each other)
No easy solutions, but I would choose "D".
What would you pick?
PS: If you push that cop over the edge, you are dead. To what end? There are better solutions.
I accept and adopt both your positions and lay them one upon the other to arrive at the heart of the matter.
-Chumbz.
The police have proven time and again that they do not work for us, do not care what we think, do not care about our welfare or property. I do not currently trust them to do anything.
Let me amend that; I trust them to do our recruiting for us. They have proven how adept they are at pushing fence-sitters off the fence and into the camp of the resistance / liberty-minded. But that is all I trust them to do.
They are what they are. They can't help it.
So you pick B, C, E, or what, exactly, as a solution to a fucked up situation?
I reject your false list of "exclusive" choices.
This isn't multiple choice. You can write an essay if you so desire.
Complain about the problem and the solution, but won't offer a solution? I see a lot of that these days.
1. Find out who the fucking idiot asshole was who, after the history of officers pointing rifles at unarmed civilians, decided to put officers on the street with...rifles. Fire his stupid ass, immediately, and tell the public on national TV, right away. Now.
2. Get all the police with rifles off the street. Now. Right fucking now.
3. Collect all of the police rifles and put them in a special locked safe which reads "In Case of Al Qaeda Attack". Never get them out again. Or send them back to the Army.
4. Collect all of the police SWAT hardware and put in the safe as well. Put laws in place which place a specially trained group of people in charge of SWAT callouts, and make them forfeit $2500 of pay each time they authorize a SWAT mobilization for any raid which turns out to be against unarmed civilians.
5. When you call the police, the government wins and everyone else loses.
So, in essence, you say "A" with the caveat that the police don't carry rifles?
That sounds reasonable to me, except for one thing...
What do you think about "B" - is it also a job for the Second Amendment?
Are you ok with citizens defending their lives and property with firearms, including rifles? Should the good citizens of that town be able to sit on their front porches, with their rifles, and enjoy the evening Negro Spring?
I reject the notion that the police are "special". I reject the notion that the judicial system exists to serve the people...it does not. It exists to maintain the status quo, to control the masses, and to keep the tax revenue flowing. That is all. So I reject any solution that involves the police, because they have become part of the problem.
The police have no rights or privileges which I do not have, in spite of all-too-numerous judicial decisions to the contrary.. I have a right to defend myself from injury, and some lesser right to protect my property. If I cannot trust the police to do it (I cannot) then I retain the right to do it myself.
Is any of this controversial or hard to understand?
Yes, it is a bit hard to understand you, but I do want to try. It sounds like you have essentially changed your choice to:
B) A job for the Second Amendment
Is that correct?
No response to my simple question about rifles for the citizens?
I have explained it in much more detail than your simplistic choices. Why do you persist in trying to characterize my ideas into your framework?
The 2nd amendment merely recognizes a right I already have. If confers nothing.
I might have a serious man-crush at this point.
h a v e 'n t b e e n t h i s t h i n i n y e a r s ! ! !
h a v e 'n t b e e n t h i s t h i n i n y e a r s ! ! !
Why do you persist in trying to characterize my ideas into your framework?
Because I am human. And because I am making the effort to hold a discussion with the hope of maybe learning something.
You are arguing that you are right because you can't admit you're wrong or accept when someone else feels that way.
Well played. But don't dismiss Article II of the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights confer nothing upon you, this is true. However, it is the foundation upon which this government rests, and the unwavering principals that its officers take an oath to observe when dealing with you, the people.
I realize it's not always perfect (in fact presently, I'm with you, it is far less than even adequate in some cases), but I think HH's point is that it would be better to have properly equipped police on the streets (and I think you would agree here) in order to maintain a semblance of law and order, and to protect those citizens and those businesses that want nothing to do with the protests and especially not the rioting, than nothing at all. As bad as they are, those cops are probably what's preventing the situation from devolving into violent chaos where innocent people start being slaughtered (think Reginald Denny during 1992 L.A. Riots).
The rioters are law breakers and they ought to be punished, and the cops out there were hired by the other 95+% of the people to ensure shit like that didn't happen. Was there an over-reaction? Fuck yes. Do we need cops? Well, I would say we need peace officers, not police officers.
Police officers enforce policy. What policy? The policy of the incorporated city. They are a "private" police force for the municipality. Just like Walmart has it's security guards, so too do the cities. They are both there to prevent loss for the business (the City/Walmart).
Peace officers are a different species. They are there to keep the peace. That means making sure people are obeying the agreed upon community rules, like speed limits and keeping an eye on the commons, and breaking up the occasional fight. It doesn't mean handing out citations for policy violations, that's what police officers do. Again, peace officers are just there to keep the peace.
Today, we still have peace officers but they are hidden behind the guise of police officers. Under California law (and I suspect it's basically the same everywhere else in the USA), all police officers are also peace officers. So it's why on the one hand a cop can take you into custody for being drunk in public but then just let you dry out in the drunk tank and let you go in the morning without any booking or further trouble; in that case he is acting in the role of a peace officer, keeping the peace (getting your sorry drunk ass off the street) while also looking after you to make sure you don't hurt yourself if you're three sheets to the wind (his brother's keeper). But when a cop gives you a citation for something and there's no complaining party, i.e. jaywalking, most any traffic violation, etc., then he's acting in the role of a police officer; he's enforcing policy (code).
The problem today is we have too many damn POLICE officers and not nearly enough PEACE officers. Which is to say they are trained to be a POLICE officer first and a PEACE officer second, when it should be exactly the opposite. They should be in mind to be PEACE officers keeping the peace, and only invoke their POLICE powers when absolutely needed, or otherwise when there's no complaining party and the activity is egregious enough that it needs to be stopped.
I am not against cops, despite the fact that I've been arrested and/or detained and incarcerated several times for bullshit and been abused during the process. I dislike the ones that have wronged me and they will be dealt with in time, according to the law. But I also know several cops that I like and respect very much because they are in the uniform for the right reason: first and foremost because they are keeping the peace, and only when necessary they invoke their police powers.
I hope my little dissertation was useful. I think we can fix everything with knowledge and education. It'll take time, but if enough people finally get educated enough to understand how things work we can then begin making them what we want them to be, or just learn how to interact with them more effectively. For the heathens that don't or won't elevate their consciousness...the policy officers will deal with them.
I am Chumbawamba.
The cops played their hand when they rolled out with full armor and long arms in response to the protests, which hadn't yet turned violent. The violence didn't start until the police showed up. This is a pattern. They rolled everyone into the "bad guy" mold and threatened them all with deadly force.
And then they did it again.
If you are going to assume I am a bad guy who must be threatened with deadly force, do not expect me to support you or your presence in my community.
May I just suggest honest warrents where liability is assumed in writing in the warrent. Damages, injury, etc are all on the back of those bringing the charges, warrent, and executing it. Honest consequences to real crimes would put the brakes on real quick. All SWAT cops would be working for us for life in less than a year. Soon, no one would want to do it. They do it because they can play dress up and play the tyrant without consequences. Add consequences, morning invaders are just that, criminals.
Pretty soon you're going to be hearing about indictments coming down from Common Law Grand Juries that have been formed and are being formed all over the country.
I do not endorse the group because they are operating under a fundamental flaw (that may or may not matter ultimately) but they are making interesting things happen.

I am Chumbawamba.
Thanks Chumbawamba. I'll check it out.
Cops are not policymakers. Their orders come from well outside of the city limits of Ferguson. They get paid to follow orders, and are given the means to enforce their directives. The fact that a cop and a civilian started this campfire is as irrelevant as King George was at the Boston Massacre (I like the comparison, HH). Yeah, he started it, but Atticus paid the price. Out of that moment came a long hard fight, a great nation full of people from all over the place, and of course, the Fed. It is clear that at some point in the not-too-distant-future, we are going to have to rethink the structure of our society. As Hagbard Celine said, the bureaucracy will be the last thing to change, because it is the crystallization of who and what we are as a 'civilization' (loose use). The big question for all of us is: what are we going to put in place of the structure we're tearing down? Any ideas? If ZH'ers are the ones making policy, I sure hope they vet for as much IQ as they want from the police force. Much of what gets said here these days (present company mostly excepted) sounds like it came from Idiocracy.
Damn right that cop is scared. It proves he isn't a psychopath - he should be scared. And not holding a weapon, of course.
Two movies for your entertainment:
Idiocracy
The Accident of Birth
E) None of the above (Let 'em burn their own neighborhood and kill each other)
The protestors themselves were actually stopping the looters after the police decided not to. Some of the people defending the stores were actually dispersed by tear gas by police which lead to more looting. All on video (I've sene too much of ferguson..).
PS: If you push that cop over the edge, you are dead. To what end? There are better solutions.
Push them over the edge? So much bullshit. Lots of people have stressful jobs. My dr. was really stressed so he decided to prescribe anthrax to his patients, sure - it was wrong - but the guy was really stressed!
CIA had to torture folks 'cause they were 'stressed', police threaten to kill people, more stress. Is Obama stressed? Well, I guess just excuse every dumb thing he does then.
Obama dron'd some kids, but you know, he was really stressed at the time!!
There are many people who feel the same way as you that have suffered from terrible dog bites.
Maybe it is because I live on a farm and am around animals that I am not blind to the emotions of others...especially the obvious ones like fear. It keeps me out of the healthcare system. A pissed-off mare can ruin one's beautiful day in a heart beat.
I am not blind to the emotions of others...especially the obvious ones like fear and rage.
Rage about what? People legally protesting the police shooting an unarmed teen?
OMG i'm sorry, guy was totally within reason pointing a gun at unarmed protestors and saying "I will fucking kill you."
Of course, if they felt 'stressed' about having their lives threatened...
Thank gawd for you HH, someone to defend those who are supposed to uphold the law flagrantly breaking it because of 'stress'.
If you want a solution how about the police who break the law are treated with the full force of it? No bullshit excuses about stress.
Maybe the shitty job? Maybe his pension was cut? Maybe the steroids and crappy diet? Maybe he is angry his father made him join the police academy when all he really wanted to do was be a dancer? Maybe the citizen journalists get all the hot chicks on Facebook?
He is a human being...with human emotions...not a robot.
Where did I say anything like that?
However, I do know that if I choose to go to a riot, then I shouldn't be shocked to have riot police point a gun at me and shout profanity. In fact, I expect it.

Are you trolling or what? I'm sure everyone has personal problems. We're not talking about some guy losing his temper in the office, this is a police officer pointing a guy at people and threatening to kill them without legal (or seemingly any) cause.

1) it was not a riot
2) definitely this is more important to ask the cop. Why, if he couldn't handle the situation - AT ALL - did he put himself there? Was he forced by his superior to go?? Obviously not.
Gawddamn hedgeless, I can't believe you're arguing at length in defence of this guy. I have nothing against police, but I hold them to a MUCH MUCH higher standard than this.
I'd be in the 'fire the officer immediately' group for a lot less than this. A democracy has no place for police who threaten to kill citizens without lawful reasoning, no matter how much 'stress' they are under.
I expect professionalism.
Then you are on the side of the One World crowd.
Edit - my post attached to a different reply
Hedgeless - I agree completely
At least we can all agree that if the store owner could defend himself and dropped the guy in the store this would all be one big non event buried on page 35 in the Ferguson crime blotter section.

Interesting side-note, the person in the store on tape was not the owner and it was not the owner of the store who called police. Not very widely reported, geewiz.
http://www.ksdk.com/story/news/local/2014/08/15/lawyer-store-didnt-call-...
Makes no difference whether it was the owner or the store worker. Also not widely reported until now was that the guy did bumrush the cop and beat him up pretty good, geewiz.
I just found it ironic that you pointed out that the protestors were having success with the looters when the police backed off, so I figured I would just bring us back to the beginning because the store owner/worker could have handled the whole thing as I said and it would truly be a side note. Just like the knife weilding guy that got taken out and not really noticed in the news, geewiz.
so I figured I would just bring us back to the beginning because the store owner/worker could have handled the whole thing as I said and it would truly be a side note.
You're fixating on an alternate reality hypothetical - itself based on very flimsy knowledge of what happen during 'the robbery' - a total rabbit hole. We could go on.. why was brown poor? If Brown had been wealthy would he have robbed the store? Was Brown poor because of Obama? Endless nonsense.
Just like the knife weilding guy that got taken out and not really noticed in the news, geewiz.
Again, we're going on police testimony. And it's not much reported in the news because black people being shot / abused by police is routine.
The man threw the food on the ground and walked away, she said. Minutes later, the police showed up and the man, who had what she said was a kitchen knife and who she said was acting erratically, walked with the knife toward the officers. The police then fired what she said were multiple shots.
I know you americans are comfortable with this type of police action, but in other parts of the world this would be VERY unkosher.

If any cop there was spit upon, they would be arrested before it landed. I also hate the police state and appreciate law and order, but this is completely unacceptable.
Unacceptable? It's fucking felony assault.
but I also appreciate law and order.
Fuck "law & order." It's an excuse for slavery.
Indeed. "Law and order" without the consent of the people having to submit to "law and order" is nothing but oppression. If oppression goes with opposition, it leads to slavery.
Law and Order was a third-rate television show.
No connection with reality.
Unfortunately, as we can see here by reading on ZH, - a large portion of the population are 'follow the rules' types who respect whatever 'authority' they were indoctrinated to obey. These people also tend to focus on the immediate surface; they aren't Big Picture view types.
So, in their 'logic' they can equate someone yelling and spitting on an 'authority figure' to pointing a gun at reporters and threatening to kill them. Protesters 'deserve it' and its only 'a lack of training' that's the problem. They also fail to see that the average to below average IQ cops aren't really running the show. So they never ask the significant questions: Why are so many low IQ types with anger issues made cops ? Why are they militarized in terms of equipment & training ? Why are they taught to view the citizenry as 'the enemy' ? Who benefits from all this ?
If you want to know what police professionalism can be all you have to do is watch how the Hong Kong police handle protest crowds estimated at 1 million.

The crowds are much better behaved, too.
"Where are the videos of the mob yelling fuck you at the cops and spitting on them?"
I dunno.
Post 'em if you got 'em.
Are spitting and yelling 'Fuck you!' legally a crime now? Arrest away. The cops should have cameras too so that evidence can be used to justify the arrests and charges for spitting and saying 'Fuck you!'. See, part of the problem is the cops have already spent the money on cameras and didn't put the cameras on their cars or helmets or whatever and tht is part of why the story of how Brown has gotten so muddied. ..Their own cameras would have exonerated the officer that shot Brown or condemned him and that would have been that...
Shitty job in a shitty country but blacks, Democrats and liberals voted to make it really shitty.
No much sympathy for Free Shit Crowd or Union Govt Armed Thugs. Those union govt boys - Democrat loving union boys.
Yes, there are always more angles to see reality from. The cop looked scared to death. But I don't condone his unprofessional behavior pointing a gun directly at civilians without a cause. Name calling is not a cause.
Someone here once said that there will be a spark somewhere, sometime that lights the fuse to civil war. They also said it most likely would occur in a place no one has ever heard of.
Nobody should point a hot weapon at another person unless you mean to use it. This cop is a despicable fat ass who needs to lose his job and his pension. What a moron.
"Big deal. I'm sick of all the sensationalism by ZH. I've been a big fan of ZH since it's infancy, but not so much any more.'
It's not about a scared or violent cop shooting another black kid with a gangsta complex.
It's about the implementation of paramilitary forces against legitimate non-violent protest.
If you sit back and consent to peaceful protest being met with violence or the threat of violence by those in authority then you no longer have a free democracy... you have a police state.
That's why the dogs are barking so much...
Whats the role of the ACLU in this---- is this a Jewish connection?? just asking-----
Who even cares.
Let the cops throw any rioters looters arsonists Al Sharpton and maybe some politicians and bankers in jail with our blessings and appreciation and leave everyone else alone.
The fuckin' ACLU's purpose it to try to make it seem like the problem has been resolved: "Quick work by ACLU: Highway patrol called. They identified the cop. He will no longer be in ferguson."
=> What a bad joke. Obviously, TPTB would LOVE for us to just figure the problem has been taken care of, when in fact, that cop is surely now (and in the future) just being a wild menace elsewhere...
The black kid was J walking. Cop stops him and he ends up dead. Got it. He was a thug, gang banger, etc. kid needed to die because of his bad choices. Good god damn thing that cop was there to make the world right and plug that mother fucker with bullets.
/s (do I really have to even do that? Guess so.)
Today it's j-walking, tomorrow it's not paying the $50 a week protection money.
I agree with the J walking. He found out after the 1st stop. That's why he backed up.
Are you misinformed on purpose?
If you believe the Lying cops and their Media shills.
I agree. What used to be a great site for financial analysis has Ben co-opted by the InfoWars loons.
That's the wonderful thing about democracy... you get freedom of choice.
So go ahead and click on another article that pleases you and let the others defend your right to click on that non-MSM endorsed article while you still can...
Freedom of choice? I think you mean anarchy, as there's absolutely no freedom within the mob-rule known as democracy.
(otherwise, I'm right there with ya)
Freedom of choice to read the articles he wishes to read...
There... fixed it for ya. Now can we be friends again? ;)
Dude can skip the politics. Stay with the beautiful chart porn and VIX comments. Oscilators, standard deviations, moving averages. Those are where he should spend his time. There is a short opportunity with his name on it.
There is a broader world out there but no matter. Tomorrow there is money to made on the right side of the trade. A modern day bead salesman. Good for him. I hope the isolation in sigmas , alphas, betas and vegas complete his world for him.
Maybe you haven't noticed, but it's the financial system that has been co-opted by criminal loons.
Documenting the crime is all the only analysis left. As for charts, the only relevant ones are CBs balance sheet growth. Hell, I don't watch the "price" of anything anymore, as fiat is not a measurement of anything anymore.
If you think all this shit isn't connected, you should go read some financial history. Plunder by the state always leads to plunder OF the state.
Sure it would be nice to return to a market economy and financial analysis, but there's a whole bunch of war that has to occur first.
Nice. Just the right level of venomous snark. Hard to pull that off without a lot of warm ups.
Actually, I might have told him to fuck off & die..
Yeah it was that good.
Wise words.
Just had to log back in after a long time away to give you an up arrow.
I've been a big fan of ZH since it's infancy, but not so much any more.
So leave already, I'm sure the majority here don't need Hasbara Trolls clogging up the bandwidth.
You'll miss Zero Hedge, but Zero Hedge surely won't miss you.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out fella!
Feel free to go yourself....Hedgeless brings far more to the table here than you do...

Dude, are you simple or have you gone soft in the head?
My comment wasn't directed at Hedgelss, it was directed towards "Dryam".
Not for nothing, but his comment (Wed, 08/20/2014 - 17:22 | 5122084), attracted no less than 150+ Negative Votes from fellow Zero Hedgers.
Maybe it was an honest mistake on your part, or maybe it was a case of mis-direction if you're a zionist hasbara troll. I don't know, but I will leave your next comment to clear that up for us.
Click-bait like this has I bet 5x-10x the overall number of hits and links and people staying much, much longer. You put content on your site to suit for audience.
He looks a lot like the cops in my county too. Assholes
He looks like the brother in law NARC in "Breaking Bad"
He looks like a lot of people these days. What's with the bald head look anyway. Pair that with ankle shorts and you have the dumbest looking person on the planet.
Does the dude even lift?
/s
How about sending him to Chicago. He might help to calm things down.
Banzai is in his lab right now.
