About a month after a white officer fatally shot an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Mo., the city’s assistant police chief, Al Eickhoff, took to Google and searched under the words “less lethal.”

And now, i have only one question...
Why "less-lethal?" why non-lethal? Guns are guns and it'sm all - kill people and it doesn't matter "less" or "non" lethal they are!
Really, i'm tired of these futile attempts of officials to "draw the picture" of ideal life!

Or why not body cams? This could had been a non-issue if the department which had some body cameras actually used them.

Because there are 7' tall monsters high on pcp roaming st. louis. Trust me, the cops need the protection.

Because a search for "more law abiding citizens" and "not resisting arrest" came up empty.

Clearly body cams don't help. Remember Eric Garner? Cop strangles a non violent, zero threat man to death on film and gets off scott free.

And as long as those being killed by cops are black, conservatives will want the cops set free every time.

Right, body camera is useless, every cop can switch off or break or dance it away if he's interested in. Only staff purges and education can change cops. Yes, I think our cops need to be educated well!
And conservatives soon will want to equip them with bigger guns

Yep, the Garner event is a perfect example of how cops get away with everything in that vast bastion of conservatism, New York. I mean, it's just about the same as Alabama or Mississippi right?

Last I checked, places like Chicago and New York have some of the most significant problems with police brutality, and there is virtually no conservative influence there.

Your attempt to smear conservatives == FAIL. Try harder next time.
