Thank you Capt. Ron Johnson for your moving words. Damn, this was good. Amazing grace. Tears... Ferguson needs these words. The word needs them.

Good morning, 3ChicsPolitico
Watch how black citizens are treated in this country for daring to stand up for their constitutional rights. I dont want to hear one politician criticize another country for how they treat their citizens. I am truly disgusted. We should all be in tears.

I wear the uniform, I'm sorry. I have not heard that from any other officer or politician...wtf? Where is their humanity?
Don't tell me anything behind close doors that you would not want public, because I will not hide information.
Ron Johnson is a gift to us all...I sincerely hope we don't waste that gift.
