It sounds like entire police departments of Ferguson and St Louis County need to be shut down.

He needs to be forced to resign or retire.Actions like this can help defuse situation.

Fergusion Is majority Black city.The public needs to have some faith In Police.

His comments go against what those there are saying.

I just heard Mike Papantonio mention this in the video posted at another thread. It seems to be a reference to a photo of the St. Louis police chief's home that Anonymous obtained and released.



The OP may have been referring to the Ferguson police chief -- it isn't clear to me which of them is more responsible for the mess -- but they're both seriously compromised at this point.

Anonymous turned its sights on St. Louis Police Chief Jon Belmar and his family after Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson announced he would not release the name of Brown’s killer as promised today. The St. Louis Police Department is handling the investigation into Brown’s death. . . .

One of the photos tweeted from the Anonymous Twitter account showed a confederate flag on the wall behind a male who was identified as Belmar’s son, Colin.
