Related: About this forumPolice officer in Ferguson suspended for pointing rifle at citizen saying 'I will f*cking kill you'
Police officers are in paramilitary gear brandishing semi-automatic weapons in Ferguson Missouri. They would have America believe they are peaceful and in it for the community. The reality is that many of them are ill behaved. Some are even overtly racist. But corrupt officers have now met their match.
It's a different world. Because of citizen journalists corrupt police officers are being caught doing their evil deeds. This officer points his semi-automatic gun at a peaceful protester and shouts at him, 'I will f*cking kill you'. In the past police had the final word. Truth could generally belonged to the lies of some. Not anymore.

that the officer in question was from the St. Ann Police Department and not Ferguson. St. Louis County has many municipalities (so without knowing the area it can be a bit confusing) and many of them have their own Police Departments. Many area departments have contributed resources to the unfolding events in Ferguson and St. Ann is one of those. St. Ann is a community to the SW of Ferguson, nearer to Lambert Airport.

correct and should change the headline.

and the metro area are a devil to figure out sometimes. As I said, if you don't live here, it's hard to make heads or tails of it. Add in the abundance of No Left Turn Signs, what seems to be a zillion muni's across the area and it's a wonder the locals can navigate through it all.
