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?

‘This cop ain't normal’
To who?
While perhaps true to you, the other so-called ‘normal’ cops he worked with all these years never saw a problem.
Just say’in.
XOXO!
I once watched a Philly cop tackle a kid in a protest march (who was dumb enough to run after being setup by a female "spectator" who grabbed his arm and started yelling for the police), then while he had the kid pinned to the ground, pulled out his pistol and put it to the back of the kids head threatening to shoot him if the rest of us didn't stop chanting "let him go." When that didn't work, he started waving it around toward us with the same threat. At that point I quickly left the scene.
Cops are arrogant thugs.
One of these days people are going to figure out that taking them down is easy.
Taking a cop down is easy. Living with the shit storm that comes with it afterwards...well...not so easy. People aren't afraid to take down a bad cop, people are afraid of going to prison for the rest of their life.
Video link of how Swiss people dealt with cop thugs at a sports stadium ....
http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2014/08/how-swiss-deal-with-police-...
no link
The video has evidently been removed, so I will describe it:
A fan rushed on to the stadium sports field waving a sign or banner,
Four or five cops chase the fan, tackle him, pile on top of him,
and at least one cop repeatedly forcefully jabbing him with a police baton,
dozens of fans rush on to the field and start attacking the cops,
the cops are forced to retreat in panic.
He spent his entire profession life waiting for that very moment.
Pat yourself on the back, made his day.
We talk all the time about low IQ voters
what a lot of folks dont realize is we now have low IQ cops
these drones are only good at one thing & that is following orders & nothing else
That is on purpose and has been going on for years. Smart cops might question orders.
"A man whose bid to become a police officer was rejected after he scored too high on an intelligence test has lost an appeal in his federal lawsuit against the city. "

LOL, ALL voters are low IQ voters, as anyone with any sense wouldn't submit to voluntary enslavement just because they fear others.
The last person I voted for (back when I was low IQ) was dead at the time.
ALL voters are low IQ voters
Nah, IQ is not the real issue... conditioning is.
‘This cop ain't normal’
No, but he sure is TYPICAL
Like Sgt Pike he'll get a big settlement for the trauma he has felt.
I threatened a civilian reporter? Fuck, now I need a $10 million settlement because police work made me an asshole.
TPTB (through their 'courts') sure has taken care of their *poor storm trooper* who got caught on tape doing EXACTLY the kind of stuff they train the fucking cops to do.
TPTB know they need to make 100% sure their goons never get the sense they will get in trouble abusing people, or control over the cops will be lost.
You are wrong he is average cop - which is the point today blacks tomorrow whites
Tiemechencko in Ukraine calls the "whit" eastern Ukrainians subhuman and wants to nuke 7 million - genocide in action as we speak
The us isn't far behind
"This cop ain't normal"
Oh, he's normal alright:

@nope-1004
Um... have you been around many cops in the last 10 plus years? This cop is very normal. Trust me, I've had a cop as a neighbor, my wife works with them on a daily basis, I've been pulled over several times in the past few years (for not wearing my seatbelt like a good little slave), and I witnessed their behavior during martial law last year in Moore, OK.
Unfortunately he is closer to normal than Andy Griffith for example.
I want to know his goddamn name. He's running around criminally assaulting and threatening folks in a crowd with a rifle and he gets whisked away unnamed? Bullshit.
Officer Go Fuck Yourself.
.
But for real...what a piece of shit.
Get a "magic blue suit" (or black, it's "in" right now!) and you too are impervious to pesky felony charges.
Personally, I think he would look better in orange.
It's Persian and spelled "Gofuk Yousef"
Officer Go Fuck Yourself.
He will get the " pass the trash " treatment
they are never fired oooooo no
he will be assigned to a desk untill another dept picks him up
soooo keep your eyes open folks your local dept may get a new JBT
& this clown will be it
One of these bastards needs to get disappeared by some patriotic citizens. What a message that would send.
That's correct, never any consequences for cops, just for the poor bastards that get caught up in their nets. Big changes coming as assholes like this dude will not be accommodated by society much longer.
I wish this shit in a uniform would open fire and kill few people. Then American people will realize who whose people in uniform really are and why they were hired.
Early or later it will happen.
As for the ruling banking elite, you have hired sociopaths and cowards. With these people you are in a deep shit.
This site here claims to identify the cop.

http://www.stltoday.com/news/multimedia/ray-albers/image_6d5825aa-d194-1...
Ray Albers
And apparently he has been suspended indefinitely.
If this hadn't been caught on tape, and only seen by cops and others there, it would probably be different.
Even if the witnesses brought it to "authorities" afterwards my guess is they'd be labeled as agitators, vagrants, hippies, and other fun things.
It would be the cops word against the witnesses word and the cops would win as usual.
They've lost the benefit of the doubt and deserve it.

Well well wonder what kind of shit we can stir up with that?
No no wait, that would not be fair. Innocent until proven fuck-tarded, that's the American way.
he pretty much proved himself fuck-tarded in the video.
The American people need his name for later trial and punishment.

According to a link posted far above, perhaps the first page of this thread,
with his SS number and telephone # and address,
the cop's name is Ray Albers.
No, it would be dead with 20+ bullet wounds.
down arrow because you should be able to double tap and only use two.
from the autopsy records i have seen, it looks like the cop involved in the shooting shot the perp 4 times not center mass to try and stop him, then double tapped him when it didn't work. when a situation gets that out of control he did well.
just for peoples information, if a 300 lb 6 foot plus man is running toward you and knows you are armed, unless you have the .600 s&w or even if you do. shoot the man at the juction of his leg and pelvis. double tap of course. this should put him on the ground, and he will need immediate medical assistance because you will not only blow up his hip but quite probably sever his femoral artery.
Running at the cop ?
Unsubstantiated Anonymous source story,
mindlessly repeated by idiot media.
Once one of those cops looses it and slaughters a crowd of people will be the last day we have these pointless demonstrations. Coming soon to a ghetto city near you.
Down arrow because this sucks and I hope to hell you are wrong (and I am afraid you are right).
That would be bad enough.
It would will be even worse if a cop gets killed. Think IDF.
We have already had that happen. It was at Kent State. Perhaps you may recall "Four Dead in Ohio" There was a very peaceful demonstration on Whitehall Street,in NYC. The Police barracaded us in. When we went to leave, disperse, they beat the crap out of us, with help from local construction workers. Why Americans are suddenly outraged is curious to me. It has been this way for along long time. It is right there in their name for all to see, POLICE FORCE. They Police our actions with Force. There are no surprises in their behavior in Ferguson. Not for those of us who've been paying attention for the last 40 some years.
You were there I take it then.
There were protests against the (1970) Kent State shooting nationwide.
Event made into a protest song.

A 'normal' citizen who did that would probably not survive his encouter with police if they were called. #LawAboveTheLaw
i think it's rather telling that - unlike goldman sachs - the police haven't found some hapless junior employee to blame for all their illegal activities.
Did the guy with the knife who was shot and killed in St. Louis say he was gonna kill the cop or was advancing with a knife enough to merit his execution?
I've tried to be even handed about this shit; but, I've had it.
IF the LEOs can't handle the job then they should be fired, not reassigned.
This cop deserved to die last night by the rules of engagement that the police themselves are functioning under: advancing while brandishing and threatening is asking for death.
Officer: go fuck yourself is way too goddamned good for you.
It is in fact time to end this bullshit by whatever means are necessary.
I just chose a side -and it isn't the side of lawless law and disorder. Let the free for all begin. ALL bets are off.
Actually, yes. I don't have the link right now but report said the knifer advanced on the cop screaming something along the lines of killing him. A witness at the scene described it as 'suicide by cop'. You can look up the source yourself.
(2) A person is justified in using or threatening to use deadly force if he or she reasonably believes that using or threatening to use such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony. A person who uses or threatens to use deadly force in accordance with this subsection does not have a duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground if the person using or threatening to use the deadly force is not engaged in a criminal activity and is in a place where he or she has a right to be.
So if a protestor had theatrened to use force in response...?
IMO they would be justified. I'm sure piggies and the courts would disagree though. Is that your original point?
IMO they'd be dead and we'd be hearing about how they were about to kill the cop with their cellphones. If the people who are supposed to administer the law are violating it, things break down pretty quick.
Which is why I don't understand so few Americans pissed off about this. Polling shows majority think police response has so far pretty reasonable??
Second to that, this is when the cameras are rolling imagine what some of these cops are like when the cameras are off? We're supposed to believe Wilson was protecting himself against the unarmed Brown?
If you believe the Lying cops.
James_Cole: "Which is why I don't understand so few Americans pissed off about this. Polling shows majority think police response has so far pretty reasonable?? "
The greatest assault, the greatest crime happened in America's classrooms and living rooms. That's where Americans were indoctrinated by 'schools' and t.v., to be mindless fools who believe any bit of propaganda they are told.
I'm sure Mrs. Gofuckyourself is a proud woman.
"If a normal citizen did this they would quickly have 20 some odd bullets in them."
Fixed it.
If a normal citizen did this he'd have 150 holes in him in no time, with 3 MRAPS, two SAW nests, and 40 heavily armed SWAT pukes leaving his body a chewed up corpse.
Cops live for that shit. Adds an inch of girth.
Peace Officer? That one looked like a Pizza Officer.
"No Pizza, No Justice!"
He was certainly a dough-boy.
Donuts anyone?
As in "His nuts are made of dough?"
On the advice of my Criminal Attorney I respectfully decline to answer the question as it may incriminate me in kangaroo court proceedings.
Sticky situation, I get it.
One dozen jelly donuts, please.

Yes, they are Officers of the Piece, because they keep their Piece, The Peace Keeper.
Free Shit Obama EBT Thug Army meets Free Shit Unionized Govt Worker Thug Army
Only one of which is a highly paid professional licensed to carry a concealed weapon and kill people.
The other one gets to play knock out games against whites with few consequences.
Not as many playing knock-out games as playing Rambo. And knock-out games aren't nearly as much of a threat to Democracy if you follow my drift.
And all the other cops in the forces down there are furious he has been "reassigned" I'm sure!! The union is filing a protest as we speak about it!!
And another thing, all this Officer Wilson was assaulted bullshit, is just that!
The thin blue line has always had a "procedure in the field" to protect their brothers from prosecution if they ever "get overzeolous" and shoot and kill someone who is unarmed! It's just UN-fucking-real hearing all these naive, disingenuous, or completely full of shit people all day, talk like anything the cops say is legit on this matter!
Your telling me if every cop in the world will lie right to your face and a judge and defend his actions of giving you a speeding ticket, when he's pulled you over and you weren't speeding and you challenge it...........but when a cop kills a dude unarmed and the people and media goes crazy, their just telling it like it is right??
They couldn't plant a gun because too many peps saw shit, so they punched him right in his face a couple times after they got out of sight and off we go on the assault shit!! This is a fraternity of power tripping, arrogant lunatics, people, it always has been and always will be! If your IN their cool, if your not, well let's just say it's best to be in:)

You sound like a gun free zone. I'll be by your home tonight. Please have all your valuables packed in boxes for me.
He probably doesn't have a toilet to crap in.
I guess he won't be getting the Obama Toilet Putter for Christmas this year.
Quite the opposite of a gun free zone. Try re-reading my comment?
Operation Mayhem is proceeding as planned.
The bald cop pointing the automatic weapon is all part of the grand plan.
He got Tyler's memo.
Relax, and load up on the popcorn...
po po can paint mike brown as a thug all day long.
won't change the truth that po po are just thugs wearing a badge "of honor"
SNAP! Epic fail. In some abstract, existential way, I actually feel sorry for the Ferguson police chief. My guess is that he never knew what a bunch of 'tards he had working under him.
Perfect culmination of "don't ask, don't tell", eh Brutus?
Ha ha! Hello Chief -- clue phone and it's for you.
i don't see the problem. cops are never wrong, and none ever needs firing for gross misuse of power.
at least, that's what the conviction rate of cops tells us.

"this man has a future at DHS."
The DHS has a few billion rounds of hollow points he can test on protestors. Their looking for a few unstable cops.
The few, the proud, shoot first, Department of Homeland Shooters.
I will take him on my team. This whole group of fake journalists and poor black folk should just go fuck themselves.
heck of a job brownie

The Curious George in me wonders what would have happened, if someone had actually verbally provoked him to do so, and he actually did it.
Or is that the Sequel we have to wait for? Can't wait for the Sequel. /s
New recruit for DHS....
Leave? Presumably you mean "Administrative leave" aka "Paid time off"?
No. Like, coffee shop at shift change. "Coffee shop" is code for doughnut shop as to not be cliche.
You'd be shot for just thinking about it.
I'm surprised at the restraint of this cop actually.
The protesters were armed with a camera.
He was scared. You can see it on his face. I imagine they are all pretty damn scared. This thing is a powder keg and they know it. It won't take much to set it off, and then all hell will break loose and they'll be caught right in the middle of it. i don't think your run-of-the-mill, fat, middle-aged cop knew he signed on for this kind of duty.
I suspect fear runs deep in the police force right now. The illusion is crumbling for them as well.
Not yet, the farce is strong with that particular Pizza Officer. AKA Officer Fuckyourself.
In all seriousness, I don't think he has a clue what he did wrong.
"Not yet, the farce is strong with that particular Pizza Officer. AKA Officer Fuckyourself.
In all seriousness, I don't think he has a clue what he did wrong."
Exactly why arming and dumping him into this situation is in itself an act of negligence on the part of the local authorities.
This isn't a weekend waving suvs around the traffic cones at the manhole. OGFY is out of way his league and his boss should have known and left him at the night desk.
Well they are govt unionized boys and voted democrat like all them union boys and girls vote. And they may be scum but the free shit army that voted Obam-Democrats are the same parasites.
Are you ever going to let go of right/left?
Awww, but it's cute, he thinks voting matters!
Freedom of the press can get your ass jailed, beheaded, or shot. It might be the most dangerous job out there right now. I hope they get paid well to deliver the gnus to this crazy zoo.
>> He was scared.
Scared of peaceful protestors and reporters? That must be one hell of an employment screening process the FPD has set up.
I saw a video on television supposedly of someone in the Ferguson protest crowd at night
shooting a handgun at someone, multiple shots,
no word if anyone was struck by the bullets ...
Cops are usually overjoyed, even boastful, about earning overtime in such circumstances- from my experience. I suppose it's no longer a game.
the revolution will be livestreamed on the internet.
fuck tv.
I have one piece of advice for anyone's "paid" services being cut for streaming anything or censored.
Call you carrier for a refund/credit on said service or switch.
Time for them to resign and get a job they are mental fit to handle then, isn't it.
Rubbish collector maybe... roading contractor...
He could handle the stop/go sign.
That would give him all the power he can responsably handle.
No way. Do you want that turd picking up your garbage? I would not trust him with that at all. The guys who pick up my garbage are sweet to me. That fucker, never happen.
Stop/go? Road rage, he'd scream at everyone as they went by, tell them how they were doing it all wrong.
Nope.
Maybe if he wasn't such a wuss, a wrestler.
Yeah, and everyone knowes it's the journalists that will blow first.
"He was scared."
Scared of what? Of a journalist?
He was probably mentally unstable plus trained to hate and fear, so that short of cruising the streets in an armoured tank, I don't see how he could have performed his duty without losing his self-control. Anyway, they say on Twitter he's been discharged. Probably better for him, as he might have ended up shooting his own foot while nervously pulling his gun out.
The behavior of this out-of-control retard can be easily explained when you consider that there has been a carefully orchestrated, well-financed campaign for years to convince the police that citizens are the enemy, and to arm them to meet that enemy. This incident is the result of planned, well-financed manipulation. Not excusing the behavior of office "go fuck yourself", but he is simply doing what he has been carefully and thoroughly conditioned to do.
The problem is that of being adversarial rather than cooperative. The blacks would rather rot than cooperate with the cops, and with every event like this, the cops are not going to do anything that represents risk or effort to help the blacks. The longer we sustain this war with attacks on either side the worse it will become. When everyone can afford to give the benefit of the doubt to most circumstances, we will all be better for it. But we can put Michael Vick in charge of this and see how big and vicious a dog fight we can get going just for the fun of it, or we can try to extend a little understanding to all sides. What we are seeing on the streets of Ferguson is a deliberately ramped up confrontation with a lot of people just hoping for an explosion, because it will fit and feed their bias and more importantly, their agenda. This cop is off his nut, but so are a lot of people on the streets of Ferguson.
because words are so hurtfull
only thing these savages understand is force, or the threat of force
Same happens with postal workers when they act against the interests of the people. They get "relocated." I guess firing a person with a paycheck who feeds a family of 4 is worse compared to killing a person with a paycheck that feeds a family of 4 because it ... feeds more industries.
"get rlocated"....
....didn't the catholic church do that with certain priests???
Shit if we did this we'd be shot on the spot numerous times and then booked and jailed for uttering death threats.
shoot first and book'em later.
Felony in Maryland just for pointing the gun at an officer. No words necessary.
Felony to point a gun at anyone, anywhere, unless you believe the use of deadly force is justified. You can't just point a firearm unless you believe you can go all the way. Fuck, you can't even show it in your waistband in most cases without being charged with brandishing. (You can even get that in some jurisdictions for concealed carry if you accidentally "print".)
And for pointing a gun at non-police?
Shiny badges don't grant special rights.
They do in Maryland. Can't get a concealed carry permit unless you're a cop, ex-cop, politician, etc.
I figured you were more of a Jew York guy, JLee. But all the same, living in Maryland you probably work for the Feds.
wow maryland sounds pacified compared to how it was a hotbed of sedition during the 'war of the states' years.
You're talking about a law that is in conflict with a right. Learn the difference.
I would try and leave the scene, but if he kept it up, I would get myself into trouble by probably dropping him with my Glock. That is not bravado, it is self defense. Of course,
I would not be bringing my Glock into that sort of an area even with my carry permits. Better yet, I would not be bringing myself into that area even if I had my Glock. As a NRA
instructor in pistol and rifle at times in the past, you never, ever, ever, point a firearm at somebody that you are not willing to use it on. The other thing is that if you think you need
a firearm to go someplace, why the fuck are you going there? Simple answers if it is hunting, target, and so forth. No good answers if it is to attend a riot.
These guys are really pretty much average joes in a small town 50 person police force. They are not used to be made out as raving racist thugs. The guy cracked. Glad all is ok.
Average Joe?
This episode is more viral than ebola right now. this pc. of shit did more damage than the retards in Ferguson. count on someone getting killed tonight.
"To protect and to serve..." yea, right...
Bank of America would pay you 20 million (but only if you were a bankster).
Officer Yourself was just following Ferguson Policing 101. He gets an A+ for following exactly the lesson plan. We all salute you, officer Yourself.
It's time to start shaming these people. If your neighbor is a cop or sheriff then shame them, don't socialize with them. Remember, they are never really off duty. Ignore them, don't engage them in any way, don't invite them to neighborhood activities, make them feel unwelcome. If you are a business owner you reserve the right to decline serving them so do just that. Don't contribute to charities that support the police. And for crying out loud don't encourage your children to be a cop.
I would love to see someone like Ian McShane's character in Deadwood walk out and yell "cocksucker!", instead of the "help, help, I'm being represeed" scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Of course, I talk shit from the comfort of my home office and a bourbon, and nobody is pointing a .223 at me.
The cocksucking cocksucker that he is......
I lift weights at a gym with a bunch of roided out cop meatheads. They make fun of my Olympic lifting while they do arm curls and it just pisses me off. They hoard the bumper plates and good bars from those of us who could really use them and they are all just really not nice people and they make practicing my favorite sport very uncomfortable when they are there. Notice I said they as you'll never see one alone.
I can't curl 145 pounds, but I can pull 113 kilos from the floor and get it over my head at age 44. Fuck 'em.
His name is Lt Ray Albers, he's from another municipality department: St. Ann. He apparently was mad that he had water and urine thrown on him by protesters. There is also some noise about he thought he saw someone flash a weapon, yada yada.
This 'officer', this 'man' committed a crime. He Is a criminal.
And they are just going to 'relocate' him ?
Desired actions are rewarded. Ignoring a criminal act, and keeping him on the payroll is a form of reward. They obviously want uniformed, armed Nazis on the streets pointing guns at unarmed innocent citizens.
Those who witnessed this and who were threatened should be pressing that charges are filed against that insane threat to the public safety.
Well if you want to find him I guarantee he is at a local donut shop stuffing his fat fucking hog face.
If you point a weapon, that's grounds for the individual at whom you have pointed the weapon to commence firing...standard rules of engagement.
hot sizzling bacon!
This cop is just stupid. He should be disciplined if not fired. This goes to show how messed up the situation is down there. This is obviously the norm as to how they police the neighbourhood.
No no not stupid. Poorly trained.
The entire force needs to be sent to pasture and replaced with people who know what police work is supposed to be.
+57
(new cops)
import them newbies from the Compton district. They'll know what to do.
Drug testing needed...
just test the current guys for roids and see what happens
Poll question for ZHrs.
How many here work in a job where they regularly expect for someone to try to kill them?
If you do have a job like that, how does it make you feel?
If you do have a job like that, do you think you should be unarmed?
How much is your life worth?
My lifes worth?
I can tell you it's worth more than signing up to be a revenue generator for the state/city/county, in most cases, for victimless crimes and risking my life to do so.
As for the "should you be armed" part, anyone should be able to defend themselves, just like a piggy does, unless you really believe a piggies life is more valuable than someone who just works a regular job and wants to be able to defend himself. No, it's not a question of if someone should be able to arm themselves in self defense, it's a question of whether or not you should act like a giant asshole, waving your weapon at people who pose no threat to you.
Using the excuse that the job makes you that way is just a different way of saying "Gee, maybe I'm not fit for this job after all." Obviously this particular douchebag is not. He just doesn't realize it yet.
