FERGUSON, Mo. - The head of the Ferguson Police
Department in Missouri has denied reports he is going to step down or be
fired for the ongoing fallout from the shooting of an unarmed black teen by a white cop.
CBS affiliate KMOV in St. Louis reports Police Chief Tom Jackson told them the rumors are not true."I have not been told I must resign nor have I been fired. If I do resign in the future it will be my choice. However, it is not imminent," Jackson said.
The rumor of Jackson's removal first appeared on CNN. Citing anonymous sources, the network claimed Jackson would depart "as part of the effort by city officials to reform the police department, according to government officials familiar with the ongoing discussions between local, state and federal officials."
The St. Louis suburb was rocked by strings of often violent protests following the August 9 shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown. The cop who shot Brown has allegedly claimed his life was in danger. Many locals, however, have claimed Brown had his hands up when he was shot.
Jackson was not publicly discussed at a meeting of Ferguson's City Council Tuesday."

L.E.O. Darren Wilson is either a badly trained incompetent cop, a brutal cop who will kill innocent people or a man trying to do his job in difficult circumstances.....like what to do when a violent man attacks the L.E.O.? The video evidence proves Michael Brown to be a violent man, that much is evident.
What is not evident is what really happened before Brown died. The testimony of eyewitnesses conflict and many would like to hang the L.E.O. on the spot regardless.
Racial disharmony continues. A white majority elected a black man to be president yet when things go badly for the president it is because whites do not like having a black president....WTF??? You can't have it both ways. If whites were/are so racially biased then how did the president get elected?....TWICE.....
Just so... the L.E.O. is white and the dead citizen is black therefore the white L.E.O. purposely "murdered" the black man....and deserves prison without a trial perhaps?
I so hoped our country was recovering from a long history of racism.
Apparently not.
I would think any white person thinking of Law Enforcement as a vocation might reconsider the dangers of doing such.
Maybe only blacks should be allowed to be L.E.O.s
For what it may be worth, I discussed the possible solution to this madness in my class paper in criminal justice. http://ourcriminaljusticesystem.blogspot.com/2014/10/paper-required-for-graduate-degree-in.html
Above is interesting.
Many blacks might want the t shirt on the left which is about twice the price of what a white would pay for the t shirt on the right. Racism in pricing?
Granted neither t shirt should belong to any one race or group.
They are both preposterous. Standing with "Justice" would be more appropriate.
