I disagree.

The government should issue licenses to the press after they have received proper training.

Then they should issue renewable 24 hour free speech passes after they pay their $20.00 administrative fee.  Everyone without a pass must remain in the free speech zone.

I agree.  The government should license and only allow first amendment rights to officially recognized journalists.

It doesn't make a hill of crap whether they're legitimate "journalists" or not. Why was this gasbag sweeping them and threatening to kill anybody? He can tell them to "back up" or "get back on the sidewalk" or "do the Hokey-Pokey" or whatever....even with colorful language and nobody gives a damn, but that is way beyond what should be acceptable.

What really pisses me off more than anything else is that this gives the idiots fuel to add to their already moronic fire RE: the cops in Fergudishu.

Someone point out the definition of press in the Constitution. Because I do not remember seeing any.

People would do well to remember those who were "journalists" or "reporters" at the time of the Constitution had no J-School training, most had no Diploma, and more than a few learned to read and write at home and were largely self taught. They were frequently associated with whatever political faction the press or newspaper owner was involved in and many were largely fronting for some relatively well off guy who wanted to push an agenda.

That's what is irritating about it. Any random trouble maker with a cell phone can now cause problems and get kicked out of somewhere and then cry that "X" business is supressing free speech and journalism and had his rights violated when in reality they were intentionally trolling for a reaction from a cop/politican/ccw'er/whoever.

The latest news from Ferguson.

Report: Only 3 of 78 Arrested Protesters Were Ferguson Residents

"Fox News correspondent Steve Harrigan reported that only three of the 78 protesters arrested last night during last night’s clash between the police and protesters in Ferguson were actually from the city on Tuesday’s “The O’Reilly Factor.”

He stated that there were, “78 arrests, just three of them here from the town of Ferguson.” Harrigan added that there were “a lot from Missouri, but some came from as far away as California and New York.”  And that there are “some concerns from police that rioters are using the demonstrations as a cover, a cover to launch some attacks against police."  " -snip-

I feel for the LEOs, and ultimately the peaceful protestors, in this regard.  When the biggest issue they ever deal with is a disorderly line for a sale at the Piggly Wiggly, and all of a sudden they have to deal with Los Angeles-level urban youth acting in concert on the streets, it's bound to go bad. Then they put a black captain of the highway patrol in charge of a police action, when in fact he has zero experience in that regard.  Have him set up a DUI checkpoint or other traffic-related stuff, but don't pick him for his color and "ties to the neighborhood."  He's a disgrace as a leader.

Surprise, I'm not a cop.

I just can't stand the usual gang of ignorant dumb fucks who post in threads like these because they think they're cool to say things like JBT.

I already wrote it once, but maybe this time whoever read my other posts to you will see it.

At the beginning of the video, someone in the crowd yelled not to throw things. It suggests that there was crowd violence. It doesn't prove it, and maybe the cop is just a jackass, but if you can find someone with a three digit IQ in your circle of acquaintances, perhaps they can explain the whole thing about wanting to see all of the facts, not just the ones that argue in your favor.

If you do not currently have any friends who are smarter than yourself, allow me to suggest that you visit an elementary school or perhaps a nursing home.

A, so not a cop just a groupie. That's even more pathetic. Also, pro-tip, if the best you can do is make lame ad homs about my purported intelligence you might want to re-evaluate your argument.

Let's say you're right, and someone in a large crowd had, at some point in the interval before the video started rolling, thrown a rock or bottle or whatever at the cop.

Would that justify pointing a rifle indiscriminately at the crowd (he flagged probably a couple dozen people with that wild flailing) and screaming "I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!" to the crowd? Would that pre-existing circumstance (someone in the crowd throwing things) justify his actions?

If yes, why? In no, why do you keep bringing it up?

Am I in before someone defends his actions?

[ETA] I can't wait to see how the transition is made from "not a journalist" to "officer acted appropriately", because I'm sure that's in the works.
OP labeled some random guy as "media" in an obvious attempt to puff up his cred.

I have no problem with the content of the video, but I won't let someone piss in the air and tell me it's raining.    


And who's the troll here?

TXL

OP:  How do you know the person was a journalist?

Is the cop's behaviour appropriate if the guy with the camera doesn't meet your personal definition of a "real" journalist? can you point out to me where in the 1st Amendment it defines what a "real" journalist is?

[Seinfeld] You mean pointing your loaded rifle at someone and telling them you will kill them is wrong? [Seinfeld]

Not a conditional threat, just a threat to kill someone.  I'm sure it will be defended.

Not by me, the guy's a fucking tool.

Yep. Don't want to work next to that powder keg.  Fuck him.

Apparently not, and that's not even that bad there.  I work football games in the 80k mark regularly where the ratio of cops to attendees is like 1:1000 ish.   He's in the "oh shit panic mindset" and from what I see there's no a reason to be to that level.  And to tell people that?  Wtf.

Have him set up a DUI checkpoint or other traffic-related stuff, but don't pick him for his color and "ties to the neighborhood."  He's a disgrace as a leader.

That Captain is pretty good at waving a gun around at unarmed people too from what I've seen on YouTube.

Ah yes, bloggers... those guys who editorialize and write hit pieces, without worrying about pesky things like accountability or facts.

Is that frowned upon?

The PD there in Ferguson is making the LAPD look pretty darn professional.  





I know tempers are short, but do you REALLY want to be the subject of a viral video like that, officer?



Good lord, just watched the end of the video.. media flocked to him like flies on shit... like cockroaches on a crackhouse.
