Portland Robinson, 52, a black woman from nearby Normandy, said she supported the protests, but didn’t understand why someone would ambush police officers after the resignation of Jackson and other officials.“This has got to stop. The police were innocent. What if they had killed them, then what?” Robinson asked in an interview. “Blood is still red.” “Shooting is just going to cause more division between the blacks and the whites. St. Louis has always has been divided,” Robinson said. “We don’t need any more of this.”
A man who gave his name as Pastor Jim, who lives about 1 1⁄2 hours from Ferguson in St. Francois County, drove to the city to pray with residents after hearing about the shooting on the radio. “I come up here to speak peace and pray with people who want prayer, people’s concerns, for the police, and just pray for the people that are just walking around,” said Pastor Jim, who declined to provide his last name because he didn’t want people to think he was looking for recognition. “Everyone’s spirit has been broken. They need their spirit lifted up.”
Willie Clay, 59, from nearby Northwoods, was in Ferguson capturing footage of the crime scene on Thursday. “The police were only doing their job," Clay said. "The troublemakers infiltrate the protesters that are honestly protesting. The other people come in just to stir the pot and contribute to trouble. Those situations shouldn’t be tolerated.”
Clay said he believes problems Justice Department investigators found in Ferguson are common in other municipalities in St. Louis County. “We’re Americans and we’re trying to fit in," Clay said. "People still think we don’t fit in.” Clay, who said he'll turn 60 on Friday, said he wants to see things improve in his lifetime.........
========================
You think those ^ Ferguson residents and the many others condemning the shooter are lying, Gunnar? Or, is there another reason you think it's funny?
