Rand Paul on Ferguson: We must demilitarize the police.

http://hotair.com/archives/2014/08/14/rand-paul-on-ferguson-we-must-demilitarize-the-police/

In other events it looks like the police have already been demilitarized.

Some 200 protesters clashed with police again last night in Ferguson, Mo., before a mob broke off and looted a small convenience store that has suddenly been thrust into the spotlight.

Shortly after police released the name of the white police officer that is accused of fatally shooting Michael Brown, who is black, they also released videotape of a strong-arm robbery of the store. The tape shows Brown, according to police, stealing a $48.99 box of cigars and assaulting a clerk.

Around midnight, after a mostly peaceful demonstration, a throng of people broke into the store and began looting it, according to Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson. He said protesters hurled rocks and other objects at police, injuring one officer, the Associated Press reported.

Johnson said police backed off to try and ease the tension. He believes looting may have spread to a couple of nearby stores. No arrests were made. Good job!

"We had to evaluate the security of the officers there and also the rioters," Johnson said. "We just felt it was better to move back."

Meanwhile, peaceful protesters yelled at the aggressors to stop what they were doing. About a dozen people eventually blocked off the front of the convenience store to help protect it.

In another development, lawyers for the Brown family criticized police for releasing surveillance video that appears to show the 6-foot-4, 290-pound Brown strong-arming a store clerk as he steals a box of cigars.

Attorney Benjamin Crump, who also represented the family of Trayvon Martin, said police "are choosing to disseminate information that is very strategic to try to help them justify the execution-style" killing.

The police strategy of attempting to blame the victim will not divert our attention, from being focused on the autopsy, ballistics report and the trajectory of the bullets that caused Michael's death and will demonstrate to the world this brutal execution of an unarmed teenager.

Which one of these guys outed you for living in Vegas? Are you that tout known as The Vegas Finch? Just wondering. Never mind, wrong tout, Snitch, sounded close.

Vegas is a long way from The Bronx, hope it works out well for you.

From the little I've seen about this case from Italy (forced to watch CNN or BBC to hear news in English), it appears the cop is in some deep shit.

If the two eyewitness accounts are being accurately reported, the cop goes to jail for nothing less than manslaughter, the family receives substantial compensation.

Nothing can undo the tragic loss of life

This is much clearer than the Trayvon case but there are still some contributing factors to be taken into account. The facts just have to be sorted out as do the witnesses. Regardless of how it sorts out you are right, when it goes to civil court the family will dig into that city's pockets. There may be limitations in that regard and if nothing else the insurance premiums for that city are going to sky rocket. In the Trayvon case it was a neighborhood cop and in this case the real deal. After watching that kid manhandle that store clerk and considering his size and demeanor while in the store I would not consider him to be the gentle giant they first made him out to be. Until we get more info on the cop it is really hard to size him up. The whole scenario of possibly shooting him while he was surrendering with his hands up, if it holds up in court, could be the determining factor. Tragic just like the Trayvon incident and probably avoidable likewise. It takes two to Tango but not good when you shoot your dancing partner.

Once again it now all about politics. The Governor of Mizzou refused to go on to Fox News yet went on four other networks. Yes the Gov is a dem. Pathetic but typical.

Just a sickening case for Democrats to back. It's repulsive to hear Al Sharpton and his cohorts talk about this guys robbery of this store like it's no big deal. That is savage behavior. And they have the audacity to go back to that store to loot it some more. Disgraceful. Fuck this nice police bullshit. Show the rioters whose boss and what happens when they fuck with the police. No need for this soft police presence. Bring back the swat, the tear gas, rubber bullets, and defend these innocent business owners. Just a disgraceful situation.

I do not believe he was just being a good thug & surrendering with his hands up....I think he was trying to get the cops gun from him & in the scuffle & the adrenaline rush the already aggrivated thug got shot & killed...I also believe the thug might have been high on some type of drug at the time but we'll have to wait for the toxicology results to know for sure...Many more questions need to be answered..

You are right about many more questions needed to be answered. If drugs were involved that could change everything. He was very aggressive in that video tape also.

If he was trying to grab the Cop's gun I don't care if he shot him while running away. If he's willing to do that then it's just a matter of time, one less thug off the street. If he wasn't reaching for the gun and was running away then there is a complete mess. At this point can you trust any witnesses testimony? Everyone has to wait and see, the protesters and looters should be dealt with. We are now at a point that there will be a race issue everytime a black man is killed by a white cop. Thanks LAPD

True that. Protesters who are not from that town should be dealt with on another level than the residents. However, I heard most of the demonstrations were peaceful if not orderly. There is never an excuse for looting by locals or by others. Despite all of our interactions and true concerns it has to be dealt with on a local level then passed through judicial process accordingly. I don't think many of us have much confidence in overpowering a 300 lb teen in a physical confrontation so without some element of fearing for his well being the cop took the most drastic action possible. He could have shot him in the knees but killing him was not necessary unless he feared for his well being or even for his life if the teen was able to get the gun away from him. This is more complicated than the Trayvon case.

There may be people who don't care if he was shot while running away, but common sense-and the law-seem to say otherwise(from another site):

In Garner v. Tennessee the Supreme Court ruled, “If the suspect threatens the officer with a weapon or there is probable cause to believe that he has committed a crime involving the infliction or threatened infliction of serious physical harm, deadly force may be used if necessary to prevent escape, and if, where feasible, some warning has been given. . . .”



http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/...cle_e9b5412f-2283-512e-8636-0d2bbe958c5c.html


The majority opinion:
Law enforcement officers pursuing an unarmed suspect may use deadly force to prevent escape only if the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others.


There is a reason you don't see this often. In this case, the guy did not have a weapon, so we'd have to go to Tn vs. Garner. The officer had no probable cause to believe he posed a threat of death or SERIOUS bodily harm to himself anymore (he was running) or others (the arrest was not over him threatening violence to others, it was not reasonable to believe he was about to harm others). It takes a lot to shot a fleeing suspect.

That just points out that an investigation in an incident like this takes time. I see where are great and powerful AG has ordered another autopsy.
