Retired Missouri cop compares Ferguson protestors to dogs.

[RandySF]

When asked why the pro-Wilson rally didn't have many African-American attendees, John Newshaw, a retired St. Louis County police officer, said, "This sounds wrong, but I don't think the black community understands the system. Again, there's a process. They're screaming about, why isn't he [Wilson] arrested, why isn't he in jail? Well, without the investigation being done, you can't go and apply for a warrant."

Newshaw criticized the Missouri Highway Patrol for "doing exactly what the violent protesters want" and trying to use more communication and less force.

"They're going to keep pushing the envelope," he said of demonstrators who've gotten violent during protests in Ferguson. "There's no reason to stop. ... It's as simple as training your dog. If you don't tell them stop biting, guess what, he's going to continue to bite."

"If you do what the police tell you do...you're not going to have nothing to worry about," said Michael Bates, 33.

...Bates said he was frustrated that the issue was becoming a "race thing," saying that was besides the point.

"If everyone just stopped with the racism thing, it'd all just go away and everything would go to court and come out with the way the law is supposed to do it. Rioting and everything in the streets doesn't get anything done," he said."

Oh, the ignorance of being white and living on the 'right' side of the tracks

2. The same can be said about Cops.

They need to be trained properly.
