Whoops. [url]http://fox13now.com/2014/11/24/woman-says-were-ready-for-ferguson-accidentally-shoots-self-in-head/[/url] [quote]ST. LOUIS, Mo. – A woman appears to have accidentally fatally shot herself in the head with a gun bought to prepare for possible Ferguson-related unrest, according to sources briefed on the police investigation. The shooting occurred Friday night in downtown St. Louis, the city’s Metropolitan Police Department said, in an area dominated by vacant lots beside a football stadium. The female victim, identified in a police report as Becca Campbell, 26, was a passenger in a car involved in an auto accident. Her 33-year-old boyfriend was driving, the sources told CNN. The boyfriend, who wasn’t identified, told police that the couple had bought a gun because of fears of unrest related to the pending grand jury decision on the shooting of Michael Brown, the sources said. He told investigators that as they drove late Friday night, the victim waved a gun, jokingly saying the couple were ready for Ferguson, the sources said. He ducked to get out of the way of the gun and accidentally rear-ended another car. He said the accident caused the gun to go off and she was struck by a bullet in the head, the sources said. The victim was rushed to a hospital but died. The investigation is continuing because police want to be sure the story as told by the boyfriend is correct, the sources said. Police are awaiting gun trace results, as part of the ongoing investigation.[/quote]
[QUOTE=ilikecorn;46565146]True. It's not a bad thing. If you're using deadly force I expect the rounds used to be expedient in accomplishing the job, in which case FMJ's simply lack the stopping power that JHP's have.[/QUOTE] So you're saying if you're a low level black criminal, you should wear body armor, because you're more likely to be shot at to kill.

[url]http://fox13now.com/2014/11/24/woman-says-were-ready-for-ferguson-accidentally-shoots-self-in-head/[/url][/QUOTE] That's pure dark comedy right there.
and that's why you don't wave any kind of gun around in anyone's general vicinity or direction what an idiot
[QUOTE=Hollosoulja;46565239]So you're saying if you're a low level black criminal, you should wear body armor, because you're more likely to be shot at to kill.[/QUOTE] If you're any kind of criminal and you make the officer feel as if his life is in danger, you WILL be shot at with the intention to kill.
[QUOTE=Joazzz;46565264]and that's why you don't wave any kind of gun around in anyone's general vicinity or direction what an idiot[/QUOTE] Yeah! Sure showed her! ...
WHY WOULD YOU WAVE A LOADED GUN AROUND
This wouldn't have happened if the husband had a gun too.
[QUOTE=proch;46565284]WHY WOULD YOU WAVE A LOADED GUN AROUND[/QUOTE] Because you're either a colossal retard on like to life life dangerously.

[QUOTE=.Isak.;46564187]If our police forces weren't forced to uphold laws that unjustly discriminate against the impoverished and the black, there wouldn't be riots. The protests are just the breaking point of decades of discrimination. It's pent-up frustration at being profiled - a death just set off a chain reaction. It doesn't really matter if Wilson is racist or not, or if the guy that got shot was guilty or not. What matters is that people recognize that what happened at Ferguson is indicative of underlying racial tensions and institutionalized discrimination. But most people are just going to think a bunch of black people got mad that a criminal got shot. Also, the rioters' actions don't speak for the entire community of Ferguson. That's like saying Hamas represents every Palestinian's wishes. They're the most reactionary, greedy, and opportunistic of an entire outraged community - don't assume everybody's acting that way.[/QUOTE] Just re-posting this bc it's probably the most clear headed logical post ive seen here about the situation.
[QUOTE=Whitefox08;46565463]Group thinking is bad.[/QUOTE] Unlike here on Facepunch.com where we all think independently and are never reactionary

There is no 'race war' and poverty affects just as many white and latino families as it does black families. You can't rely on Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson to tell the truth when it's obvious to anyone that actually pays attention that they're attempting to drive a wedge between the African American and Caucasian communities to incite the very race war they claim is coming. inb4 conspiracy theorist [highlight](User was banned for this post ("MEME REPLY" - Craptasket))[/highlight]

If you really think there's no discrimination left in the US, you're either insanely sheltered or purposefully blind. Fuck off with putting words in somebody's mouth. also nice "inb4", go back to /pol/ please

Update 2: Announcement at 8pm central, 9 eastern. Moved back due to protesters and shit. The National Guard is in town now

Hispanics face this sort of discrimination, too, but on a lesser level. There is no "race war," and a huge majority of this discrimination is entirely subconscious. Cops don't think "oh, black guy, I need to watch him because black people are criminals," they habitually react in a negative, judgmental fashion towards black people. I said in another post that there's undoubtedly nobody in the Ferguson PD donning a pointy white hat. They're not conscious of the discrimination that they're doling out by treating black people as criminals. It's not a race war, and it's not exclusive to white officers. I know several black people who treat other black people in that same assuming manner. I also don't listen to Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson - I was raised in a town with a huge race/wealth gap and I regularly witnessed black and hispanic friends get unfairly profiled for the same shit a white teen would typically get away with.
any livestreams on so I can watch the riots unfold? I will laugh so hard if it becomes LA Riots all over again.
its probably safe to say since the guard has entered the town that he isnt gonna get charged
[QUOTE=usaokay;46565848]I'm seeing more news of scared people and the National Guard than rioting. I'm not looking hard enough. I don't know whether the use of the National Guard and heavy military gear is justifiable, but I guess the govt. doesn't want another LA riots on their hands.[/QUOTE] Are you fucking kidding me? Did you see what happened last time Ferguson rioted. "justifiable"

They're there in an effort to prevent them from forming to begin with.
[QUOTE=ilikecorn;46565867]I'm pretty sure the whole "omg peeps gonna riot" is being really overblown right now. The possibility is definitely there but it's not exactly a definite fact that if they choose not to indict him that there will be riots. That being said, please, riot with the national guard there, we can laugh as you get arrested.[/QUOTE] I live in a bad neighborhood so I am really concerned about violence. I got my gun beside me right now just in case.
