St. Louis police say they pulled over Bufford and a passenger on April 10, 2014, after his car matched a description to a shots fired call.''
''During the struggle police found a 9mm pistol, 5 live rounds, and marijuana on Bufford.
I thought many fine upstanding Americans carry those type of guns...protected by the First Amendment...

Yep I'm sure the driver and the passenger are just family guys on their way to church.

Second Amendment but no most Americans are not constantly armed.
Fast&furious said:So, let's see.
EVERYONE finally is talking about the real problem.....the courts and the harassment of impoverished residents all in the name of revenue.
3 racist cops are out...fired summarily due to their racist emails
The chief, who by all accounts was trying to make some headway with the African American community....up until the media decided to stop acknowledging that...has resigned as captain of the ship.
The City Administrator, where I think the bulk of the problems stem from (not him personally, just the job he's hired to do and the expectations put upon him as a city administrator of a shitass north county municipality) is out....
The state has stepped in to adjudicate these citations and shit the city is using to soak their residents.
Other shit-ass municipalities are looking at the same effort.
For instance. Nearby Pine Lawn. Which is way smaller and way shittier with way more revenue problems.....some residents have started to demand a similar Justice Department study.
I'm just not sure it will get that far being that the guy who oversees the police department in Pine Lawn is also a lawyer for the Brown family and signed off on a way sketchier shooting of an unarmed black male just 3 months before Brown.
Further, their sneaky ass speeding cameras that even the DOT has said at times were illegal, have doubled the city's revenues in the last 18 months and interestingly enough the mayor and board's salaries are now 6 digits or more. But, since they're all black, I don't think we'll see much clamor for change there except for a lone voice or two.
The right things are happening, except the media is distracted and dumb as fuck. They could have everyone in this town on the same page. Demanding change to these shit-ass municipalities. Because, in the end....it's not about race.
It's about money. The reason most of the stops, detentions and citations are African American is because the PD has to spend an inordinate amount of time and manpower in the area in which they are concentrated. There are shots fired just about every other day in that area. So, yeah, the cops are where the problems are at. I can absolutely guarantee you that if there was that volume of crime in a concentrated area where white people in Ferguson lived, they'd be doing the same thing. Soaking white people instead of black people.
In St. Louis, we have a term...."hoosier". Has nothing to do with Indiana. It's more like "urban redneck", but not quite so redneck. If you drive a Carmaro/Transam/Firechicken, have a mullet, a mustache with no beard, feathered hair, listen to K-SHE, and generally look like you stepped off the cover of a Thin Lizzy album....you're a hoosier.
Any non-hoosier racist will hate a hoosier more than even a black person. If Ferguson PD had to spend that kind of manhours in a high concentration of a hoosier part of town, they'd be soaked worse than the African American community, since more of them are employed. Although, your wait times at Jiffy Lube would all go up, because they'd always be short employees who were in jail.

Not cool at all.
No it's not cool papa. And I'm not condoning this either ridiculous behavior either.
But there are those that are taking a page out of the NRA/Gun Lobby Handbook and claiming that you can't blame the people who shot the cops. That this is the 2nd Amendment at work in that an armed populace is necessary to counter the tyranny of an unjust government.
There is enough farking stupidity to go around in this situation.
