Yeah, and wtf is the point of evacuating people? Do they think they are getting potential rioters dispersed, or keeping non-rioters out of harm's way?
I think getting non-rioters out of harm's way. It sounds like they were going to off-campus student housing.
Wow. The county prosecutor says he's never seen an officer act this "asinine" in 30 years of prosecution. Prosecutor says the officer should never have been a police officer.
I am really afraid of this video.
I'm feeling extremely cynical today, and I can't help but think that the police wants there to be a riot, and is helping to incite one.
I'm not *quite* as cynical in that I don't think it's intentional, but I do think it's an almost unconscious embracing of a riot as the right and obvious response and so they are playing right into it. Like it's too much effort to actively try to think of a different solution.
mac has been throwing away the sandwiches I make every morning. throwing them away in a trashcan in the house.
oy. Guess he'll be making his own lunch from now on?
he really isn't very bright, also extremely lazy - I mean how hard to throw away the sandwich AT CAMP?!?! dumbass.
not that he should be throwing away food. Food he had a SPECIFIC say in purchasing. what the hell is he eating for lunch? just not eating anything buy a bag of chips? no wonder he is a grumpy jerk.
Burrell, if he wants anything for lunch for the rest of summer he will be making himself.
Wow. A reporter asked the prosecutor if the officer was going to turn himself in, and the prosecutor said "We have officers out to arrest him. I'm treating him like a murderer."
WTF, Mac!
Wow to the indictment. Let's hope the video being as damning as it seems like it must be will lead to a swift conviction.
And even more than that, that this will be the beginning of the end of all these damn unjustified shootings, or at least a significant reduction. I hope very hard. Though I fear that the shooters are not so much thinking they won't get caught as truly believing that they are right, which scares me more.
And now police are going door to door in the neighborhood where UC is located, advising residents to leave. WHAT THE HELL.
Whoa. (I just woke up. Catching up now.)
