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 guy's badge needs to be pulled immediately and shoved up his ass........ Sideways.
Just when, exactly, did America's police forces go from "protect and serve" to, harass and threaten?
Around the time . . . . when they hired too many, handed them military assualt rifles and tanks, and ordered them to "revenue generate".
You got like millions of "public servants" armed to the teeth, and they all think they deserve to earn 2x the national average income without a college degree and to retire on a pension.
They are mad with power and entitlement.
The people have been pushed around so long, its like a splinter in your foot, you can go on maybe a few days or weeks with it dealing with the annoyance everytime you walk, but eventually you will snap and attack your foot with pliers and needles to get that shit out.
We are approaching that point I think, where the public in general is getting sick of being treated like criminals, and getting sick of the revenue generating (fraud / theft) and drive-by muggins that the police partake in day in and day out.
You cant even stop for coffee without paying some 160$ fine, its freaking illegal to "stop" and sit down outside, just look around they practically stripped away all the benches in most NY boroughs, the only place you can legally sit down is in a park and at a buss stop, its insane, even the benches from most buss stops have been removed, your aren't allowed to "stop" and be human.
They can't order them to generate revenue.
They can only say that revenues are down, and layoffs are under consideration.
Same effect.
since when did police start running "for profit" its supposed to be a city expense if we can afford 16 trillion dollar bailouts we can afford a few hundred police officers.
in sim city all u do is set all the taxes to 9% and everything works great
Ya gotta remember that every cop has "issues" regarding things like, power, control, insecurity, and self esteem. That's why they're cops, they were never able to earn respect from their fellow classmates back in grade school so, they think they can demand it by becoming cops but deep down, they know the "respect" they get as cops is false and that people are actually laughing at them behind their backs. Anyway, the net result is you end up with a lot of 'em like officer#gofuckyourself who spend an inordinate amount of time standing in front of a mirror with a gun and admiring themselves. They're a pretty screwed up group, unfortunately for the rest of us.
They are pushing the cops to the wall.
Most people are now from other towns wanting Marxist Revolution.
"You want rule of law? What are you? Some kind of pussy communist?"
I wonder how that cop's wife and kids feel around him when he is home after watching that video clip. Honey, take out the garbage. I will fucking kill you !!! Can we go to Disney dad? I am not dad. My name is "go fuck yourself!"
Not a word of NG force's on the ground. Another frantic Ferguson police officer loses his pension.
National Guard -2
Police Force -2
The horses are neck in neck to the final line.
People need to be more considerate regarding this officers actions. He is used to people respecting his authority. As a result seeing people ignore him probably pushed him close to a nervous breakdown. But seeing people not run away when he pointed his "big gun" at them (paging Dr. Freud) was likely more than enough to push this little Nazi right over the edge.
As far as the riots are concerned , discussions about the circumstances of Michael Brown's death miss the main poi nt that his death was the trigger for the riots and not the driving force behind the riots.
People should try to ignore any media propaganda that implies that the citizens of Ferguson are fundamentally "different" from "us". Instead, try to imagine what circumstances would be enough to make you go out into the streets, protest, stand up to cops, loot stores, set fires etc.
The circumstances exist but are beyond the comprehension of most people readi g this website.
There is no circumstance where i would justify looting and setting fire to other people's property. Its thinking like this that has people justifying sawing someones head off. And we wonder what is wrong with the world....
Lol. I think there's a difference between setting a structure fire and beheading someone, but OK.
cause and effect. But like on some bridges there is the phenomena of resonance; where the rhythmic march of jack booted soldiers can bring the bridge down.
Human systems are like that : cause can lead to effect with such high resonance that it brings the house down.
When you have powerful systems with hidden strains watch out for unforeseen consequences and high resonance situations.
Think Fukushima. Think Hiroshima. Think the Bastille. They are beyond logic they are cataclysmic.
These people out there are not journalists. You cease to be a journalist when you offer your opinion on twitter or youtube.
You are a protester.
and your point is?
A journalist can be a professional reporter AND a citizen.
He can be neutral as one and a protestor as the other. The right to protest peacefully is covered by the first amend.
Its the police who draws the line in red. They represent the State and are supposed to uphold the Law.
If that line is drawn not in accordance with the LAW the citizen has a right to protest; all the while he reports the scene as a professional reporter.
where can this pleasant, if "relocated", individual be encountered?
Typical Hall Monitor
Just to play devils advocate... was the guy next to the camera dude by any chance holding a lit malatov cocktail or a pistol ?
Or a Black and Decker cordless drill?
or a nail gun?
That fat piece of shit needs some serious pyscological help! and a new job!
Would you hire him? For anything? I wouldn't let him work in my yard or clean my toilet.

you must be one of those mimetic robots...
WND (formerly WorldNetDaily or, as it was affectionately known to its fans, WingNutDaily or WhirledNutDaily) is an extremist conservative website founded by Joseph Farah in 1997 as a project of his Western Center for Journalism.[1] It espouses a fundamentalist Christian, creationist view of the world, and regularly engages in racist attacks against African-Americans. Its political leanings are right-wing, pro-"Christian right," and supposedly pro-United States, with strongly libertarian economic views. Its coverage provides multiple sides of the issues: the conservative viewpoint and the ultra-conservative viewpoint. It is far to the right of Fox News.
While they present themselves as news, WND is essentially a tabloid for radical right-wingers. Their publishing standards are rock-bottom, and they have run stories from extremely questionable sources on many, many occasions.[2][3] They are best known for distributing Ann Coulter's insipid columns, as well as articles written by noted political analysts Chuck Norris and Pat Boone. They recently added disgraced baseball bigot John Rocker as well, indicating they've decided to drop the dog whistles and go with overt racism.
The scary thing is that this bilge is actually slightly influential, with made-up bullshit from WND making its way out the mouths of wingnut congressmen and cable TV pundits far too often.[4]

WND also a Good Source for Birther news stories,
an early source for news about the Obama Birth Certificate Fraud.

Why are so many cops so violent?
Regardless of all the pop psychology cop profiles you hear in the news and in the media, I think the truth is much more simple.
What quality of cop do you think a $25k per year salary BUYS exactly?
Policemen in many parts of the Northeast have pay/benefits that rival doctors, lawyers... and some classes of bankers.
That's because the Northeast doesn't suck completely... yet. In Ferguson, average cop salary is $28k.
"Ferguson, average cop salary is $28k. "
That isn't bad for Ferguson. -Go take a good look at the (un)employment, income and poverty stats.
o.0
Not sure what backwater you are thinking of where full time urban police make $25K.
A quick search shows Ferguson police at more like $66,000. And that's with absolutely golden benefits. If it's like most police these days they can retire after 20 years with a really decent pension or wait out 30 years and get 90% of their maximum salary for life.
There are a couple million retired cops in their 40s and 50s raking in $40 to $100k a year in pension for life. And that's paid by all the poor dumb saps struggling along on $10 to $15 an hour with zero benefits.
The world has changed. Getting a job as a cop in virtually all urban or suburban areas is like winning the lottery; you are golden for life.
I think it's all those violent cop shows they watch.
Police are violent because ALL power comes from violence, and they are specifically paid and instructed to be violent so that the establishment can remain in power.
Duh.
Meet the newest member of the Albequerque, NM police force.

TWO SCHOOLs OF POLICE TRAINING:
CONTEXT: MAN IS PROTESTING POLICE ARE ORDERRED TO HAVE THE PROTESTORS BACK DOWN 10 METRES
Canadian training model: Kindly please back up slowly 10 metres.....thank you...
White Trash Ferguson Cop training: "Move back 10 yards or I'll fucking shoot you..yeah you ''I"ll fucking shoot you
CONTEXT: Two young blacks throwing water bottles at police.
Canadain training model: Desist immediately or you will be prosecuted Now stop!
White Trash Cop training: "I''ll fucking shoot you ..fucking shooting now...
Unless you are in Quebec, where, much like their ancestors, they turn and run.
There's no high moral ground for Canadians to crow from.
Fix-Agreed.
Canada is a police state as well, only a more polite version.
Oh please. There is a riot in Toronto on youtube and the cops were beating the shit out of people.

Owned by the zios like Bronfman and Reichmans. They little zio gang in Montreal was in with the JFK murder plus some zio-MIC in the USA among others.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIZigF_zdXw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R0Wzhy1o7I
Reichmans went broke (Olympia and York actually) at the Canady Wharf development in London in 1992,the younger Edgar Bronfman squandered most of the booze money on French acqusition. You are wrong about those Jewish family's current wealth..
The richest Canadians are the Thomson family (Reuters etc-$30 billion plus) they are not Jewish, they are WASP,
There are alot of rich zios there though in Canada, that's for sure.
I think "JFK" muders is quite a stretch for these families and a 'you tube source' ain't gonna cut it.
Well, well, well, my American friends, riddle me this?
Could you by the 'Force' of law, brandish a tactical rifle, with intent, and use very provocative language towards a 'Peace Officer', at him/her, as this very frightened fat cunt did to those folks?
Is it, or would it be 'Lawful'?
You lot are turning into our lot, bar our cunts dont yet have guns.
And I seriously cannot believe I have personally watched this, and this maniac has done what he did.
What in hells name are we becoming??
"When the cop is asked for his name he responds, "go fuck yourself." "
His name is Uncle Fester.
This will pale in comparison when things really turn ugly when the economy and or dollar collapse. During the great depression most people did not think the government or society owed them something unlike today's America. All people tried to work through it knowing there was a sacrifice necessary by all just to get through it. Most of all they had a morality about them that believed in love thy neighbor. That's missing today and the same liberals that complain about this reaction are the same people that don't believe character or morality matters. You all had better be prepared for anything and everything when or if martial law is declared. After all you reap what you sow.
You do not get to escalate the tension and potential violence by bringing a gun into the situation and then claim you feared for your life.
You do not get to draw your gun and claim you are trying to lower the threat of violence.
If you fear for your life, you can draw your gun **AND** shoot.
If you draw your gun and do not shoot you are simply threatening people and raising the level of tention and potential violence. The other side is now positioned to legitimately fear for their lives.

2nd Amendment, Baby, 2nd Amendment
Treasonous bully-pussy!
An American, not US subject.
Every American should be compiling a list of known pol, crat, functionaries
(funcs), bankster criminals and gun and badge thugs, cops, in their sphere of influence--The Crimes Against the American People Database list (CAAP-DB)
Oath violating and treasonous gun and badge thugs, corrupt pols and crats, thieving banksters, etc. should be placed on it. Their names, crimes and positions should be, at a minimum, kept for future reference and trial.
When the DC US finally collapses, these lists can then be used to root out the known
criminals that will think that they can hide among their victims--no "Truth and Reconciliation" here.
This policeman should lose his personal and professional gun permits.
actually he just qualified for the largest annual bonus from his dept. In addition, he will get a fully paid one year vacation(called admin leave), earlier retirement and a 2nd job elsewhere to earn an addition fully paid retirement. If he can shoot someone at his next job without getting videoed he will have options on a third fully paid retirement.
I'm on the side of the people of Ferguson. If THIS is the type of bullshit the mostly black people of Ferguson have to put up with on a regular basis from their mostly white police force, I'm not surprised Ferguson has descended into the protests, violence and looting we see now.
LOL, do you live in a mostly black town? Try it for a year and report back to us on your views.
What is your view of the citizen's positions? Does it matter? Really?
Granted, they may not appear to respond like you would. However, they (they=a large number of americans) have been locked out of the workforce. Deprived of a fair legal system. They have no real representation. Most working americans are enduring large scale theft of their earnings.
.gov requires a license & tax to drive and perform many other everyday functions, multiple license & taxes to engage in "legal" profit making enterprise". .gov takes years to provide justice if you can afford it. None of the "authorities", black or white, represent the real man on the street, of any color.
Regardless the strength of any sealed container, internal pressures can be increased to the bursting strength. The nature of the explosion may not meet with your approval, but, it will occur none-the-less. Revolutions, like explosions are messy things. There is no law of physics requiring logical actions.
After every crisis; whether it be the crack epidemic or the financial meltdown THE VERY FIRST THING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT does is give the states money to hire MORE POLICEMEN!
The subdivisions of the state, the cities and town, have to scrape the bottom of the barrel and hire thugs like this since their are no qualified applicants.
New Orleans did this in the 1980's and the gangs recruited members with clean records and a GED to apply and they hired gang members. See how that worked out?
You fukers are so smart commenting through blogs on a job that is almost impossible under the circumstances in Ferguson. The attention this event is receiving creates chaos for the police. Then someone says they're trained for this sort of thing and have no excuse for losing it. You give it a try sometime. Everyone is so fukin' smart behind a keyboard.
takes a lot of brains to put your rifle in the face of an unarmed citizen and yell, i'm gonna kill you. Knowing of course the question is how big will your bonus be, if you can get the citizen to loose his cool.
of course someone has to prove the exception to the rule, and you have made it clear that NOT "Everyone is so fukin' smart behind a keyboard."
Except you. Learn how to spell fuck dummy.
I don't use that word.
Ray Albers, that must be you!!
Hey Ray, if you can't do the fucking job, best to be on your way, eh? If the pay and circumstances are shit, don't take the job. They will be forced to pay better or somehow change the circumstances or fail as a town.
Hey Ray, I get it you were scared. That does not, ever, ever, give you permission to point a gun at someone and threaten to kill them WHEN THEY ARE NOT EVEN ARMED.
Hey Ray, remember when we were kids, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me?" That shit is true. Your ego is the problem Ray. Or maybe you were hopped up on something, eh Ray? Got a little bump of something before facing the crowd.
Hey isn't that exactly what the protesters are shouting about? An armed police officer killing an unarmed black man? Or is it innocent black child depending on the propaganda you're listening to?
Ok so the police officer was being beaten at the time and the dead guy who had just committed robbery was 6'4 and 300lbs of aggression.
Here's the thing. If you are armed, it doesn't matter if the other guy is not armed because if they get your gun off you, now they are armed. So it is very very important that the people you are facing are not able to get your weapon away from you.
So. You're surrounded by an unarmed(?) aggressive crowd, you have a fully automatic assault rifle. The intent of the crowd is to mob you, take your gun and kill you and others with it. What do you do? Y'know I might be inclined to switch to full auto and start spraying bullets. Problem solved.
You have to work out what their intent is? Screw that. That is the wrong place to be. The place to be is defining the intent of a crowd. This guy was badly served by his training and by his colleagues and by his equipment.
Basically all round not competent to be there. He and his colleagues should never have been put in that situation. You need better trained and equiped police (and that doesn't mean more guns and ex military equipment or military training) and better police leadership at the top.
When people get hurt and lose their livelihoods because you can't do the job, you're the problem. If management ties your hands and you still take their orders, you're the problem. If you're 5150 and you're in the field, thats management's fault.

Apparently suspended indefinately now.

Police officer who pointed gun and cursed at protesters in Ferguson suspended indefinitely, officials say http://apne.ws/1trbc5N
Prison Guard mentality..because it just is like the rest of the South that has been given the oppressed, but the work of transformation left undone.
Why is it that the brutal cops are the ones with shaved heads and about 30 lbs. overweight?
if you accept that 25 pounds overweight is normal then maybe he is just 30 pounds overweight...yeah I know...the camera adds 10 pounds....but brain fat adds even more.
I have enough personal experience to know that they way American policing is heading is dangerous for liberty and public safety...and I'm really sorry about that...I live here.
I'm guessing he was relocated to the section that is violent.
sorry guys but that motherfucker is obviously suffering from ptsd. look at the stark contrast between him and the other officers. we're lucky he didn't empty his magazine...
"that motherfucker is obviously suffering from ptsd"
The dumb-asses that are responsible for screening, hiring, training, arming, and managing him are even bigger losers than he is. The mayor and police chief should tender their resigantions and take a hike along with their unstable untrained mismanged subordinate douchebag.
Cop haters, you are just as bad as the race haters that you claim to hate.
As others have mentioned, where's all the video of the poorly behaving citizenry.
The reason you want people to hate the local police is that you know they are what stands between We the People and the thugs at the federal level. You have to take out the local police to pave the way.
Why has ZH become so one-sided? One of the Tylers is a troll, or an 18 year old who hasn't had time to think too clearly?
It would be nice if we didn't need police. I wish criminals would find better ways to spend their time.
I'm very glad my city has a police force. They have a very hard job.
Respect everyone.
Liberty
Police are over paid (for level of education and ability to use judgement) and compared to any other group behave more like a gang than the Hell's Angels.
IF they were well trained and behaved they could get most crowds to cheer for them...I would. Instead they act the dufus who can't control his anger even with an M16 in his hands facing unarmed onlookers.
Well trained officers with judgement would not scream, not threaten and would understand that authority does not come from the barrel of a gun.
If the cops were serious about cleaning up their image they would make this guy the poster child and discipline him publicly. He would be suspended and a statement made that his conduct was inappropriate and offensive. Instead he is being protected. I don't think cops want to change or get rid of a few bad apples. They want to be 'bad' asses. They want to maintain the tough image way more than anything resembling professionalism.
I cant wait until one of them snaps and goes full auto on the crowd (or at least pretty fast semi auto)
Should this Cop get "Offed" at a Dunkin Doughnuts, would be viewed as a Positive!
Only if the Dunkin' Doughnuts is destroyed in the process.
You don't point a gun at a man and tell him you're going to shoot him. You just shoot him.
A cop is NEVER wrong.
If you don't believe me, just ask one.
Shit, sounds like i married a cop without knowing it.
not sticking up for the cops but I can't imagine the crap they are putting up with the thugs mixed in

http://www.vox.com/2014/8/17/6029739/video-police-threatens-to-shoot-rep...
A reporter taping a live stream of protests in Ferguson, Missouri says a police officer threatened to shoot him. The moment was caught on tape by KARG Argus Radio in St. Louis at Livestream.com:
(KARG Argus Radio/Livestream)
In the video, a police officer appears to be heard yelling to a reporter, "Get the fuck out of here and get that light off, or you're getting shot with this." However, the audio is not entirely clear. Later on, the reporter with KARG Argus radio quotes the police officer as having said to him, "Get the fuck out of here or I will shoot you with this."
Update: This post has been updated to reflect some of the difficulty in hearing some of the words in the audio recording.
Pigs need to be held to the same standard they hold me to. I walk up to a cop and threaten to kill him, even if i dont have a gun, I'm in deep shit. Being a cop doesnt give you the right to threaten to kill an unarmed peaceful law abiding citizen, and if you think it does, then you're just a jack booted thug who deserves the police state you're getting.
As for me, I don't want it and I didn't ask for it.
The pigs should be, I would say that I do, be held to the same standard--The Constitution and their oaths to same, Article 3, Section 3 and the universal right of people to Life, Liberty and Property.
An American, not US subject.
Someone oughta take that gun away from him and shove it up his fucking ass............. Sideways............ With a pitchfork.
Ain't steroids mixed with crystal meth, an IQ of 65 and a license to carry a military assault rifle just a wonderful combo to behold?...
What will the DoD think of next???!!!!!
I hear they are removing the human element entirely. You can take a mindless robot and with the proper programming get 99% of all that great stuff, at a fraction of the cost and time.
What difference does the fraction of the cost make or mean when you can back your own currency with nothing more than a verbal and written statement that it is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States and nothing more?...
And if you are a government that wishes to chart your own financial course and use currencies that have real strategic value with something other than the full faith and credit of the United States you best have some nuclear weapons handy when the "leg breaker" informs you that you are lacking the reserves in the ONLY currency that "matters"!...
Then how can you get the optics of a raging roid gorilla beating down people's children, and then their parents & neighbours?
The rage, screaming anger with brutality is really the subject of delivery, not the method of delivery.
That's how intimidation works & that's what government is there for: that & stealing.
Officer, thug, Albers exemplifies what "gun control," centralization, would actually be like.
An American, not US subject.
"I'm pro gun-control--government first."
This sends a strong to police everywhere...if you abuse your power...you will be reassigned until shit blows over...your buddies will pat you on the back for being 'awesome' and you will get a nice pension if your name is released.
I'm sure cops everywhere are reassessing their attitudes and behavior...not...psyche...

The MAINSTREAM MEDIA bosses decided you need 24/7 coverage of "the Gentle Giant" but NONE of this fellow:
Dillon Taylor, aged 20
http://m.deseretnews.com/photo/865608600
You see Dillon is White and was UNARMED and shot dead by an African-American Salt Lake cop on August 11th. The media is only referring to the cop NO NAME GIVEN of course, as 'not white' but turns out he is African-American, was wearing a video cam on his vest. Both the tape and the 911 tape are being WITHHELD from the public.
There is ZERO national coverage, no international coverage.
This example shows why it is essential for Americans, the Christians who built this nation and in fact FOUNDED the movie industry until it was taken over by the fur peddlers from the Lower East Side of Manhattan, to be able to stymie the HIVE's efforts to suppress the news.
There are no riots in Salt Lake City, sparse local media coverage and they are helping, in fact, just as in the Wichita Massacre, to cover up the race of the shooter.
It really is time to take back our country, wouldn't you say?

Share with the class the conclusion you come too.
What's the cop's name?
The SLPD and news media are withholding the shooter's name. Unlike Ferguson where you have the media showing photos of his house with the street number and street name clearly visible in fact one of the networks showed a map of Wilson's home.
Other than Nelly, does ZH have anyone on site who can reach the podium?

Some of those guys actually still serve through the institutions for we the people and those that do should be welcomed regardless of the institution. The tide will turn and you might be surprised to find out just how much of the rank and file may actually not be on board with the program and just paying lip service right now. Also some of these guys may get a chance to earn redemption and take the opportunity to right their own ships and in turn the institutions if they start serving through them again instead of for them.
It is the hopeless romantics like that guy that are the threats not the whole institutions since institutions are not people (they are just comprised of them) and people are always the problems here and also the solution.
I'm sure officer go fuck yourself is a rare exception to the rule of protect and serve and treat your fellow citizens with a little dignity and professionalism and not as enemy combatants when you are white, animals when you are black and sub-humans when you are homeless just like these ones.

The officers got the wrong man, but charged him anyway—with getting his blood on their uniforms. How the Ferguson PD ran the town where Michael Brown was gunned down.Police in Ferguson, Missouri, once charged a man with destruction of property for bleeding on their uniforms while four of them allegedly beat him.
“On and/or about the 20th day of Sept. 20, 2009 at or near 222 S. Florissant within the corporate limits of Ferguson, Missouri, the above named defendant did then and there unlawfully commit the offense of ‘property damage’ to wit did transfer blood to the uniform,” reads the charge sheet.

Regardless of this officer's inappopriate behavoiur, all the fuzz in town are working two shifts, no sleep, and by now are burned out, as you just saw from officer friendly.
Simple solution: they should leave & not come back.
the pig was tired, so it's ok to point a gun and threaten to kill an American citizen? Pull your fucking head out of your ass.

This article was from the St. Louis Post Dispatch on January 11, 2011
ST. ANN • Police Detective Ray Albers dons a uniform and punches in for an overtime detail. He'll be driving one of six chase cars as part of the city's stepped up speeding enforcement on Interstate 70.
"The surprise is the amount of speeders that are out here," Albers says while awaiting word from spotters in the nearby Drury Inns office building. "We continually get speeders. They see us out here at least three times a week. I wrote the same guy twice."
Moments later, a voice cracks on his car radio alerting Albers that a car clocked at 75 mph is heading his way. He pulls his cruiser from the shoulder and tails a maroon 2000 Chevrolet Malibu. He flicks on his flashing lights and pulls the driver over.
In addition to the speeding ticket, the woman driving the Malibu gets popped for expired Missouri plates, no valid drivers license and no proof of insurance. A second officer took the woman, 53, into custody.
St. Ann and seven of its north St. Louis County neighbors have created a seven-mile gantlet for speeders along a stretch of I-70 that extends roughly from Lambert-St. Louis International Airport to the St. Louis city limit. They set and enforce their own fines — and the tickets many of them issue are much heftier than those written by the Missouri Highway Patrol.
Since they began the special detail in mid-July, St. Ann police officers figure they have written about 6,000 tickets. Motorists stopped for speeding on I-70 are subject to fines that usually start at $200 for topping the speed limit by 11 mph and can soar to $300 for higher speeds.
St. Ann's speeding fines and tactics — which involve officers using a tripod-mounted LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) to identify speeding cars from a distance — have many motorists fuming about the crackdown as a sort of assembly-line speed trap.
"Outrageous," motorist Randy Wilkerson of O'Fallon, Mo., said while waiting outside St. Ann City Hall for traffic court this month. "I've never had a $250 ticket."
Wilkerson was stopped for driving 73 mph on eastbound I-70 on a low-traffic Saturday morning in November. By the time he reached the three-quarter mile stretch inside St. Ann city boundaries, he saw several police cruisers waiting.
"They made it more dangerous by pulling people over there," he said. "There is no place to pull people over. You've got onramps on the right side and trash on the left side."
Wilkerson was written up for exceeding the speed limit by 18 mph. But he showed up last week with proof that the Missouri Department of Transportation had increased the speed limit to 60 mph before he was ticketed, meaning he had exceeded the limit by 13 mph. Under St. Ann's traffic fine schedule, it meant the difference of $50.
Wilkerson said he was able to get the fine knocked down to $150 that night, but it is 'still higher than anywhere else."
TRAVEL SAFE ZONE
The eight cities initially dubbed the seven-mile stretch of I-70 an "accident reduction corridor." Last month, however, MoDOT formally labeled it a Travel Safe Zone, mandating double fines. St. Ann, it turns out, had already been collecting fines that were roughly double those assessed for tickets written by the Highway Patrol. In all, four cities between Lambert and the St. Louis city limit write the more expensive tickets.
St. Ann set its higher fines by ordinance last year, according to Police Chief Bob Schrader. Pine Lawn, Normandy and Cool Valley impose the higher fines, too.
Woodson Terrace, Northwoods and Berkeley did not increase their fees before the Travel Safe Zone, officials said. Right now, they are in various stages of reviewing the higher fines.
Edmundson Police Chief Donald Kraher said his city adopted the higher fines but hasn't yet enforced them. "I didn't want to impose it until the signage was in place," Kraher said.
Motorists pulled over in Edmundson will receive tickets mirroring St. Ann's $200 to $300 fines in the next week and a half. Like some of the smaller communities along I-70, Edmundson does not have a special speed enforcement detail working I-70. He said it is a small department with one designated traffic officer, who works I-70 as well as other city streets.
Schrader has publicly stated that St. Ann doubled fines on this stretch of I-70. More precisely, according to department fine schedules, the municipality instituted a whole range of higher fines in the corridor — fines much higher than its officers issue for violations on its town streets — and a typical St. Ann fine roughly doubles what the Highway Patrol issues on the same stretch of highway. For example, St. Ann charges a speeder $200 for traveling 11 to 15 mph over the speed limit, while the state officers charge $108. The municipality also charges substantially higher fines than the state for higher speeds.
Cities can set and enforce their own speeding fines — even if it is on a highway, according to a spokesman for Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster. But Missouri's little-used speed trap law caps the percentage of a city's budget that can be generated by traffic fines from a state or federal highway at 35 percent.
NOT ABOUT MONEY
Schrader said the traffic enforcement isn't about the money — even though St. Ann's tax base has taken a hit with the loss of retail shops at the once-thriving Northwest Plaza, which lost two of its last major anchors last year. Instead, he hopes to prevent speed-related traffic accidents on that section of I-70.
"Our stretch of 70 is or was out of control," Schrader said. "We're trying to get it back into control. It's all about the accidents. We want to drop those accidents."
The number of accidents have dropped during the past six months, Schrader said. Between Jan. 1, 2010, and July 19 — the day the accident reduction corridor was launched — there were 42 accidents on I-70 in St. Ann. Since July 19, there have been 10 accidents.
The Missouri Department of Transportation said it found that the seven miles of I-70 had an above-average rate of accidents. As a result, it is one of five Travel Safe Zones that have been established across the state. Signs warn motorists that fines are doubled.
But no signs warned Jeri Hall of Belleville in October, when St. Ann police pulled her over.
Hall was told she was traveling 17 mph over the speed limit, which then was still 55 mph on that stretch of eastbound I-70 through St. Ann. The $250 fine accompanying her ticket stunned her.
"I knew tickets had gone up, so I figured maybe it would be $75 or $100," she said.
Ironically, while driving through St. Ann toward the University of Missouri the previous morning, she had told her two daughters traveling with her to remember there was a 'speed trap" to watch out for upon their return. But while driving back through St. Ann, she had just hung up from a work-related phone call.
Distracted, she didn't notice her cruise control was still set at 72 mph.
"You don't have a chance," she said.
Schrader takes issue with the characterization of his operation as a speed trap, which he said often involves abrupt changes in the speed limit. By contrast, the I-70 speed limit gradually changes from 70 mph west of Wentzville to 55 mph near Interstate 170.
"To be a speed trap, you've got to be hiding and keeping it secret," he said. "We want everyone to know that we're here so they slow down."
TOO long, no point. Why do people make comments like that?
Shouldn't this officer's Public Service Hazard bond be revoked? Especially since he just commited assault on video.
Lol... the day is coming you're all gonna have to shed your uniforms. We will hunt you fascists like dogs!
Holder is in town. New program, Black and Furious. Plans to slide some fully automatic arms to secret protesters in hopes of tracking down the out of townees. Cross your fingers and hope none of the authorities get shot.
Felony assault caught on tape. Reporter should press charges.
That fucker is too scared and untrained to be a cop unless he's driving a desk.
Rule 1. A weapon is never pointed until you are ready to shoot. This does not apply to a combat patrol.
He was not on combat patrol.
Law and order is one thing. That was not it. That was scared shitless and a nightmare waiting to happen.
I keep trying to tell people this, but for some reason they are not getting it. Go up to the top of the thread and help me straighten out some of these stupid paranoids, would ya?
You are entirely correct. But Rule 2 is do not badger the scared shitless asshole who is pointing a gun. If Mr. Dickless-What-Is-Your-Name had been shot, whose fault would it really have been?
It still would have been the cop's fault.
You are waaaaay too passive and I do not want you at my back when the fighting starts.
Well, I would argue that the real fault lay with those who stuck such an unqualified bastard in that situation in the first place. But there is a great deal of difference between being passive and getting your head blown off for no reason. Of course, I'm sure you would have stepped in with a left jab and finished the cop with a right hook, then taken down the rest of the police and the National Guard with the cop's own weapon.
"He was not on a combat patrol."
I can't share your certainty. This is the guy the anti-gun dorks want to sort out their 911 issue! He is their centerfold. Dial 911 and die.
This local black guy says the protestors and rioters are PAID.

I think we've all seen enough of the action to get the idea that most of the folks out there are just there to make a point. The "local guy on Facebook" can go fuck himself.
How would you know unless you are there.
Ha ha ha ha!
Fuck off.

You have a problem with some guy adding to the dialogue? Why? If protesters are being brought in - and you'd be a fool to think they aren't - then you type "Fuck off?"
How does that add to the dialogue? Adding in what looks to be complete bullshit & pretending that's "adding" is quite the opposite. If anything it will shut down all dialogue as the police are assumed to be right, the protesters are all assumed to be plants & then it's murder-for-fun with zero-consequence AND no one will even bother talking about it anymore.

With the money shortage in many towns how does this town have the big bux to pay an entire town to protest?
That's so fucking absurd it's beyond belief. And you want to take a rumour-spurring allegation & treat it as fact, and call that "adding to the dialogue"? You're a fucking disgrace.
This is what passes for a zerohedge commenter now?

I've never been so insulted in all of my life!

Anyways, I don't think that saying the protests were augmented by add-ins means anything. It is most certainly true that there were/are all kinds of spooky govt agents all over the place who "aren't from around there."
I don't think that detracts from the crucial meaning, which is that police thuggery and murder is not ok.
Relax, I am deliberately yanking his chain for being dumb. It's what I do.
I'm like WB7 except in prose. This is my art and I am here to destroy the human world.
I'm not a "he" and you ain't yanking anything.
I see you clearly for what you are....a propagandist.
Why are you invested in controlling the dialog in here?
Do tell...
Who is controlling anything? Post whatever you want to. But I have proclaimed this a no bullshit zone.
Yeah I can do that. It's a cat thing.
Cat people are deceptive.
just sayin~
I freely admit to being at total complete unapologetic war at the moment. So if you thought any of the above or below was a deception, you can relax.
Now of course war itself is largely deception. You can read into that anything you like.

Quite the opposite. Cougar's comments have been consistently anti-troll from stomping pro-Nazi fucknuts to anti-global-warming hoaxers.
Man that hurt.
Can't we all just get along.
When you are right over the target is when the trolls like you come out.
Thanks for the conformation...:)
You aren't there so you don't know so you're spreading something which could be a total lie (and likely is) and would attack the very fundamental respect we all need for all the non-police-state residents of Ferguson.
How anyone can do that, take the side of the Nazis, is a total fucking mystery to me.
It's like instead of giving birth, your mom had a huge dump, added some cyanide into it, and that was what you got for a soul. I don't know how you were migrated from the colon to the uterus.

But what he allege, sound like some dredge from da hedge.
An unmarked donut van just showed up with hot coffee and laxative laced chocolate donuts free to uniformed individuals. Wonder how many will shit themselves?
Been shitting themselves for a week running.
I hope they all lose their jobs. Every one down to the traffic cop. Out on their asses.
