These same cops beat a man in 2009 and then charged him for getting blood on their uniforms. Police apologists have got to be the sickest bunch.
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.
The address is the headquarters of the Ferguson Police Department, where a 52-year-old welder named Henry Davis was taken in the predawn hours on that date. He had been arrested for an outstanding warrant that proved to actually be for another man of the same surname, but a different middle name and Social Security number.

It's already known that there's an institutional racism in that police department (and probably a lot of others too). Did you see the story about the LT who told officers to arrest as many black people as possible -- right in front of black officers?
I'm not saying police in heavily black areas don't have a hard job, because some bad shit does go down at the hands of the black folks in those neighborhoods....but Police can't just go around shooting everyone because they're scared for their own lives.
They're supposed to protect and serve us. Their oath doesn't say to protect themselves upon feeling the least bit threatened. It pisses me off to see stories about a cop shooting a guy with a knife who is 15 feet away while there's other officers there to back him up, or shooting someone's dog during a bogus raid -- or cowering behind armored vehicles while a shooter rampages through a high school with automatic weapons (Columbine). Your job might involve serious bodily harm because your first priority is to serve us. We're your boss but you've forgotten that as you act like your lords and masters.
As far as Ferguson goes, hire a police force that's more reflective of the population.
