Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I completely agree. I would be strongly considering removing all PD patrol from certain areas. They want the police to leave? Then leave them alone to deal with their world. Any call into certain areas could/should be considered a trap and/or a set up.
But then gangs could actually "own" territory and that is the last thing the PD wants...Originally Posted by sneakerd

You would like to think that it would then be an eye opener as to the service that the police do provide. But for some reason me thinks not. It's no fun when you cannot blame others for some of your own problems because as we all know their local police department is the root cause for the plight in Ferguson...
Perhaps- and I know it sounds simplistic- but the protesters in that video want the police out of their neighborhood? They say they'll take care of their own. Good.
Ferguson needs more Ebola.
Not really. Ferguson just angers me.

Many of the protesters do not live in Ferguson. Many of the people of Ferguson are tired of the protests and destruction and would like to go back to making a living, being able to drive to and from the store, and getting some sleep.
The police have a sworn obligation to uphold the law and maintain order. If the local police cannot fulfill that mandate, the county, state, or federal government will. I for one prefer local law enforcement over anything provided by the US Department of Justice.
The weatherman will soon bring an end to the protest season in Ferguson. The people I've seen in most of the Ferguson protests do not look like the hardy, hold hands and sing KumByYah in a freezing rain or snow type.
Be safe.
If you're white you're labeled as racist in America 2014. Wait a second... is that a racist statement?

Reminds me of when Occupy Colorado Springs was demonstrating down in Acacia Park. We hit a hellacious cold snap in the middle of it ... some of us wanted to go down there with coffee pots and stew pots with signs offering free grub and coffee to people who actually worked for a living ...
Good God, there's almost 20 of them!!!

The local police shut it down.
additional players have been added to the mix of protesters. Along with the support of Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and a mention from President Barack Obama at the United Nations during his remarks, other liberal interest groups found their way onto the Ferguson issue, including: national LGBT organizations, climate environmentalists, amnesty groups, pro-Palestinian organizations, Christian social justice groups, and Planned Parenthood.(http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Governm...ft-Wing-Groups)Abortion rights activist Cecile Richards posted on her Facebook page on August 14 an illustration stating, “You deserve to parent your child without fear that he or she will be hurt or killed. Freedom from violence is Reproductive Justice.”
One young woman explained her small cardboard climate sign, saying she is traveling “the world to collect stories from people she meets about water and climate change, starting three weeks during the climate march in New York City and now here. “
“All struggles are connected—racial injustice is linked with climate injustice, and I’m here to show solidarity with this fight because an injustice to one person us an injustice to us all,” she said.
Ferguson resident and pro-Palestinian protester “Jay” equates the issues black Americans face with the Palestinians on the Gaza strip.
“I feel that their struggle is the same as our struggle. We’re both fighting to be free. The same gas canisters the Israelis shoot at them are the same ones they shoot at us—made in the USA. It’s like the gas we sold to Saddam—made in the USA,” He said. “It’s the same issue. It’s all oppression. The oppressed stand with the oppressed and we’re oppressed. All these counties and all these municipalities are oppressed. We’re oppressed.”
