I agree. He's exactly the kinda cop that some of the residents of Ferguson are protesting and I don't blame them. Not only does he despise and express a desire to exterminate people in the community he's sworn to protect, but his hatred is so strong that he spewed it publicly and for the record as if it was acceptable. Dangerous to pay and arm him to police anything or anyone. He's now fired.

And, it's not only Page the hater and Pappert the wanna-be exterminator who've shown their true colors in the wake of the Michael Brown killing.

Ray Albers -- long time member of he St. Ann's police department resigned yesterday. He was initially supported by chief Jimenez, but an internal inquiry of his actions at a Ferguson protest last week resulted in him being given two choices -- resign or be fired.

I get why Albers would be irritated and I don't care that he wasn't handing out lollipops to the crowd -- he had a serious job to do. He reportedly saw a bee bee gun raised in the crowd and heard a shot from another gun (knowing it wasn't that bee bee gun). So, he raised his gun -- I don't blame him for that, though some do. But, then, knowing there was no threat in front of him, he continued to tell people in the crowd, "I will fucking kill you!". When he was asked his name, he responded "go fuck yourself". Another officer then comes over and tells him to lower the gun. All on video.

I saw the Michael Brown liquor store video. I don't think that kid should be canonized - that's stupid. But, did Brown do anything to justify being killed? I don't know. Maybe the officer who shot him was defending himself. Or, maybe he was like Page, Pappert and Albers and viewed Brown as a vermin who he was entitled to kill or threaten to kill; even if Brown presented no threat to the officer's life.
