Justice delayed is justice denied.

I see it differently. Fenton is a high-ranking thug-with-a-badge and the Blue Line protecting him was very, very deep. It's to the credit of the prosecution and to the credit of those cops who believe in the civil rights they're supposed to protect that the wall protecting this criminal was breached.

Indiscriminate mass arrests are NEVER acceptable.

Sadly, in the USA we're still dealing with the aftermath of Ferguson and the Waco biker arrests.

For those not familiar with the Waco event from earlier this year the cops arrested almost 200 people and accused almost all of them of murdering nine people who, as it is starting to appear, were all killed by gunfire from a police SWAT team.

Say the yappy little mouthpieces who've never had to deal with anything like that. Justice delayed is still justice. Being denied justice altogether is justice denied.

If that's the case why don't we just let him go free and actually fulfill your statement.

Yea, its all the cop's fault in Ferguson.

[ShepherdsDog]

Exactly. How dare he deny some thug access to his sidearm.

Should just start letting these rioters and other activist scum, from the freaks the G20 attracts to out of control sports fans to the BlackLivesMatter thugs, burn down and loot everything they want. Then the cops can just say to the politicians and media "you won't let us do our job anymore so this is what you'll get". Like I've said before, we need to have a month-long police wildcat strike all across North America where the police everywhere stand down and don't report for duty. Let the whole damn continent go straight to hell and then see afterwards if the cops get some appreciation for the job they're trying to do. Order or chaos is the only choice here. You can have one but not the other.

Freedoms and liberty can grow from order, which is the foundation of civilization...chaos just begets more chaos.

I should have clarified that I was referencing the mass arrests that have been occurring in Ferguson. A recent event involved protestors who had blocked an Interstate highway and they were correctly arrested but about fifty other people who were NOT blocking the highway were also arrested and their charges were dropped the next day. Some of those people were literally just waiting at a bus stop to go home from work and had nothing at all to do with the protests.

Given their charges were dropped the prosecutors agreed they had done nothing wrong.

I'm taking issue with the mass arrests here, not the here-nor-there of the Michael Brown shooting which has been thoroughly examined and the officer cleared of wrong doing.

But since you brought it up had the police not seized (and apparently destroyed) the cell phones of immediate witnesses to the shooting it's likely the riots would have been avoided entirely and the officer exonerated all the sooner.

Chaos begets opportunities for tyrants who promise security in exchange for liberty.

The police rioted that day. We watched it live on TV, here.

Because Ferguson is a shit-hole. A shit-hole where people riot to celebrate the life and death of a criminal...and they shoot at cops and burn the City down. Someone killed a 9 year old girl a few days ago.

No sympathy for the people of Ferguson.
