"This arrest sends a clear message that acts of violence against our law enforcement personnel will never be tolerated. .."

Guy should be acquitted and hired by the force. Those police were clearly carrying firearms in a public area, could be suspected of possible illegal activities and were a danger to themselves and others.

Just days after a scathing report accused police in Ferguson, Mo., of over-enforcement that is racially discriminatory and aimed at raising revenue for the city, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) will introduce a bill that would make such policing practices a federal civil rights violation.

The Fair Justice Act would make it a civil rights violation punishable by up to five years in prison for a police officer, chief or department to enforce criminal or traffic laws for the purpose of raising revenue.


Here's an idea I could get behind. And why are we having this discussion? Because blacks have been pushed to the breaking point by their government. Sure, this guy went too far, but intellectually, how different is he from the minutemen at Lexington Green?

I don't understand how that could be viewed as an excuse.

'So you shot these people.'
- 'Yes, but I was aiming at these other people, which I obviously missed.'
'Oh, that's all right then.'

I mean, really?

...one of the cops need further surgery to remove the bullet lodged behind his ear . His excuse of shooting at someone else falls on deaf ears with me .
