Sorry if dupe, no search function.
I am all for a good LEO dog pile once in awhile and I can understand to a degree a department being able to tell officers not to wear inflammatory propaganda....but where the fuck does the DOJ get involved in this? Good God, they aren't even trying to hide it anymore. DOJ tells officers to remove ‘I am Darren Wilson’ bracelets
Alerted by residents that police officers have been wearing “I am Darren Wilson” bracelets, the U.S. Justice Department has told the Ferguson Police Department to order its officers to cease from wearing the symbol of support for the white police officer that fatally shot an unarmed black teenager last August. Reuters reported the letter from the Justice Department said the bracelets had “upset and agitated” people and “reinforces the very ‘us versus them’ mentality that many residents of Ferguson believe exists.” In another letter sent this week, the DOJ had reported that its investigators had seen Ferguson officers not wearing their name tags or obscuring their names. This is a violation of department rules. According to Yahoo News, the Department of Justice stated that it had been assured by law enforcement officials with the county and state police that their officers would not wear the bracelets. Ferguson police could not be reached for comment as of last Friday evening. |

In Ferguson, it truly is "us vs. them" for the police.
Not a big fan of the "pick up that can, citizen" mentality seen so often in police stories, and here, but if there is ever a reason for the cops to circle the wagons against the savages, its in that little burb. |

Same here, I'd much rather deal with a "Respect my authoratie!" scenario than the savages roaming the streets over there.

Ferguson police could not be reached for comment as of last Friday evening." Well, I have been assured that there has been no domestic spying, that the economy is improving, that the Democrats don't want to take my guns, that we are a post-racial America, that I can keep my doctor, that the Constitution is the law of the land and applies equally to all citizens, and that the buck stops at the President's desk. We've seen what assurances are worth so perhaps it's best to not keep score. Now, as the kids say, go choke on a bag of dicks, DOJ. |

I'm sure glad that the DoJ can get around to uniform policies in local police departments but can't be bothered with the investigating the IRS.

How about, fuck you DOJ. There is a lot of shit the DOJ might have some say in, this is not one of them. How about they launch an investigation into the Providence .gov employees endorsing a 2 time Felon and review whether a 2 time felon can even legally hold office if he has any oversight of LE. You know the whole thing regarding a felon having authority over people who carry arms, that small matter might require and investigation.

Where the fuck do the Feds (who have absolutely no general police power) find any authority to tell local police in Missouri anything about departmental policy related to a matter involving issues of state criminal law.?!?!
(Yes, I know that actual authority to act is a novel idea nowadays, but the question has to be asked) |

The MOHP good Capt. Johnson who was acting in concert with the agitators actually stated that he would personally see to it that officers wearing those bracelets would be counseled. No shit. Who the hell is this guy and who died and left him in charge? Sad state of affairs indeed.

The DOJ can eat a bag o' dicks. Good luck "making" the department do anything. It will only happen by command of their immediate supervisor. There is no chain of command in local LE that includes the DOJ. Governor is the highest it gets. You aren't a federal officer. |
