re: #13 Targetpractice

Like with Trayvon Martin, I find myself wondering more and more if what we’re seeing on display truly is ineptitude or “good ol’ boys” trying to protect one of their own. Get the feeling that, had this not made national news, it would have just been another shooting written off as “suicide by cop,” with the cop’s story taken as the gospel truth.

The cop left a witness alive. That was his first mistake. Also, the victim was unarmed, and was by all accounts a good kid that was supposed to start college yesterday. That’s mistake #2. The police leaving his body in the street for hours, refusing to talk to the witness, and their actions since are mistakes #3 - infinity.

Something is deeply rotten in the Ferguson PD. These are not the actions of a police department that is serious about solving this kid’s murder. They’ve gone full retard in a bid to either change the subject or protect one of their own from any accountability.
