Ugh.
God that's creepy. Like Uncle Fester is pissed and coming to kill you.
Holy shit that dumb fucking cop. They have no discipline at all.
Props to the guy shouting at him.
They should have nothing but shields and batons. This is fucking ridiculous.

Ahhh, gotta love my local news Facebook and by love, be constantly reminded that Michigan is full stupid fucks.
AnimeGoddessAP2 feels the same way.
Well, you already have all the answers.

The amount of undertrained, overweight, wannabe bullies Ferguson employs seems to be disproportionate to the average population.
You know how you deescalate a situation? A strong but non-threatening demeanor and approaching people like they're humans. If anyone in my unit had behaved like this in Iraq they would have been put on permanent shit detail to keep us and the local population safe. 99% of the time the best thing you can do when there is an angry group of civilians is approach them at the low ready and engage them in a professional tone about what is and is not acceptable in the current situation.
Of course, I say all this with the idea that peacefully protesting(no matter if it's wasted on a thug) or filming are acceptable, which these police seem to disagree with me about.
Well like other gods, yours is imaginary. Hateful bullshit like this is what is wrong with our country. Just because you don't like someone or the way they think doesn't mean you should rejoice at their death. You are what is called a shitty person.

I mean, holy fucking shit. Never before in my lifetime have I seen so many people double down on stupid over and over and over again. There are two options here. (1) The officer was scared and was completely unable to reign in his fear and emotion, or (2) he's a complete psychopath who is just itching for a reason to put someone, apparently anyone, down. Either way, the bigger problem--yes, bigger than him pointing a gun at some journalist--is that his superior officer, who instructed him to point his gun down, let him keep his gun. Last night he threatened journalists who more or less were being complaint with police instructions. Tonight, what if he's hit with a water bottle or a rock from the crowd? Is he going to be able to restrain himself from pulling that trigger?
Is this indicative of the type of person they have in law enforcement in the Ferguson area? It's hard to argue otherwise based upon this incident (thankfully caught on tape) and the other incidents that have been reported.

All of these photos of the increased violence over the past few days really breaks my heart. The officers with guns and tear gas and everything else.....
This is escalating so quickly. It pains me to see so many people being treated like cattle like this.
I don't know if this is legit or not but I read somewhere that there are gang members grouping together to prevent looting in shops like this:
If true, that really says something, imo. But again, I don't know if its real but I really hope it is.

Incorrect. Cracker is actually referring to the slave overseers, the whip "crackers".

That man doesn't need to be on the streets. It takes a lot of bravery to stand up to these weapons, being held by scared men with itchy trigger fingers, and call for accountability.
It's too bad this officer won't see the bravery in the citizens around him and learn from it.

I didn't know this and now I wince from knowing the origin. I will never take that term lightly ever again. I had no idea.

He's armed and shouting at a news crew. The man isn't spooked, he's a coward, plain and simple. The problem is that a lot of this in ingrained in their training. These cops are told bullshit like "every day you go out there you're going to war" and "any day could be your last in when you're in uniform". Spoiler: you're not "going to war". Those are US citizens with rights. Also a higher percentage of people die from automobile accidents than police killed on duty.
It's just an extension of America's fear driven culture.

Fucking disgusting behavior. You do not point your weapon at anything that is not an identified target that you are ready to fire upon. Such negligent handling of a semi-automatic rifle seems indicative of the lack of training officers have with this gear.
Dude, he's spooked...you can be scared and still shout, lol.

He's both a coward and scared witless, to the point of being unfit for the job.

From what I could tell, they're not gang members, just citizens of Ferguson dressed up for protesting. The town has a 70% African American population.
You shouldn't really assume they're gang members, actually. That does sort of roll into the "they're thugs" mentality that we should be working to fix.
And for the record, yeah, that's real. They were on the VICE stream a few days back protecting the stores from looters.
That's the same guy the I Am Mike Brown live stream was filming a lot earlier in the night. He was standing around smoking, playing on his cell phone, sweating like a pig, and generally didn't look like he belonged at all. Had the total "I'm semi-incompetent but my brother got me a desk job" vibe going on.

Every day there's at least 1 clip of an officer doing this...threatening to kill or use their weapons(guns) to do bodily harm. It's probably happening from more than just 1 every day. Shit is atrocious. There needs to be some montage of all the police threats to go viral.

So Tim capped off his night by losing his car keys and having to call AAA. I think that's a fitting conclusion.
I got lucky and clicked on the live stream just as this was happening. That whole situation was crazy.

He probably left them IN his car, next to his supply of water and extra iphone cables.
Edit: and presumably his press pass from 2 nights ago.

I already saw this one. And at least 5 others of hostile police threatening to shoot non-hostile people.

Why are the scared, aggressive, twitchy ones always fat?
wow
I really do wonder what goes through the mind of the cops when they see something like that, from kids, directed at them.
Don't worry he will be prosecuted and punished for making threats like that. O wait you said it was a police officer?

"My, my, these poor children are being conditioned into law-hating thugs so early! I wonder how many of them have fathers..."
Wow. If nothing happens to this dude... jesus fuck it's worse than I thought.
Who am I kidding though. They get away with murdering people so this isn't shit.
