“Pre-Ferguson, you were held responsible only for the crime rate — now it is community relations. One egregious act of misconduct by a police officer can get a police chief fired. It wasn’t like that before.”
Poor babies. Of course it’s relatively easy to ‘reform’ a political police chief, when the lights and cameras are on him. Less so with unionized police officers who like to shoot out the lights, smash the camera, kick the cameraman and then arrest him for bleeding on their shoes…
On the same subject, those of you with strong interest and strong stomachs may wish to peruse the many video recordings offered here…
It’s about power, not race. Though looking at the stats, if I were a black guy I’d probably suspect rather strongly that it is about race after all.
If one looks at the REAL stats, instead of just those proffered by ABCNNBCBS and their dead-tree fellow travelers, one finds it is not NEARLY as one-sided as they make it to be. You could start here:

What you need to understand that it is not White (cop) vs. Black (Mere Citizen), but is instead Blue (cop) vs. everyone who is not one of their Masters. Remember the cop who killed that man in South Carolina a few months ago? Remember the video? That pig retrieved his Taser and placed it next to the man’s corpse to make it look like close quarters combat. And a Black pig stood there and watched, and said NOT ONE DAMN THING until after the video was released.
