This whole militarization on police started with the Reagan and GHW Bush administration... who dropped loads of surplus military gear on the police.. to conduct the 'War' on Drugs.

What happened was someone said something bad about Republican presidents and you lost your mind. In your kneejerk political hackery, you threw everything you had at Clinton forgetting who came first. But that didn't work so let's just throw nonsense everywhere and see what sticks. Wilson! Washington! Ah hell, what about George III?

Yeah me and Gopher were having fun.


At any rate... you were wrong Cord. You just made it up and I showed you your error now you are whining like a brat. It was started long before Reagan and Bush as me AND Gopher showed.


Better luck next time!

Duh. The evidence is a Video.

The officer rolls up onto guys playing in the streets, a radio broadcast comes over the Police band saying a an armed robbery has accord and a description of the individuals.

So the narrative has now changed, the officer is facing individuals who could have a gun and involved with an armed robbery.

What do you do??

The video above says the rest. He was a thug.

So he deserved to die, right, Boom? I was wondering when you'd show your true colours.

"The Ferguson police chief said Friday afternoon that the initial contact between an officer and Michael Brown, which ended with Brown shot dead, was not connected to a robbery that had occurred shortly before Brown was killed."

Sort of. The original "guns for cops" program was under Section 1208 the NDAA of 1990, late in Reagan's term. But the programme was massively expanded in 1996 when 1208 was replaced by Section 1033 of the NDAA of 1996 (Clinton). It only accelerated more under Bush and Obama.
