Ferguson follies #2

This was the week that was for Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson:

Sent his police force dressed up like Robocop into an already tense situation with those protesting the death of Michael Brown and made it even worse.  Released a video of Michael Brown which turns shoplifting into a death penalty offense.  Fails to notify either family of Michael Brown or the Highway Patrol (who are now in charge of keeping the peace in Ferguson) that said video is going to be released.  Insinuates the officer who shot Michael Brown knew he was guilty of shoplifting.  Says he was mistaken and that officer didn't know, and that Brown was stopped for walking in the middle of the street (now a death penalty offense, too?).  Then says officer figured out Brown was a shoplifter when he saw the cigars in his hand.

And all of this in front of  all of America.

Swear to God, the mother fucker must have taken leadership lessons from George W. Bush.

Peace,

Ferguson follies #1

While releasing the name of the officer, Darren Wilson, who shot and killed Michael Brown, Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson also released a video which purports to show Michael Brown shoplifting some cigars and shoving a store owner shortly before he was fatally shot.

One has to wonder exactly what the Ferguson Police hoped to accomplish with this revelation--when exactly did shoplifting and shoving someone become death penalty offenses?

Unless, of course, it's state specific to Missouri.
