Video: “I Kill Everybody. I don’t care,” says Ferguson cop
A fourth police officer has been suspended in St. Louis, after a violent episode in which he pushed CNN reporter Don Lemon. After the incident, CNN reporters began looking into the background of officer Dan Page. They turned up a video which will send shivers down your spine.
Page appears to be a member of a right wing militia group. The Oath Keepers, made up of anti-government, anti-immigrant, right wing militia members who believe that they are the true “Guardians of the Republic,” made headlines for their role in the showdown at the Bundy Ranch a few months back.

I wholeheartily agree. I always believed that cops should get to know the people in the neighborhoods they patrol. If they take the intimidation out of their demeanor but it appears as if most cops imo have an inferiority complex and use their positions to bully. no it certainly is not just ferguson it is all over. I hope we don’t lose our voices but keep bringing these unlawful cops who do not understand what their really is and get them off the streets

There are now FIVE Ferguson police officers who have been suspended or terminated in the last two weeks for either violent behavior or overt racism. But the problem is not just in Ferguson, nor is it only with white male officers. Rather, there is something fundamentally wrong with the way that police are recruited, trained, armed, and supervised that encourages them to treat as enemies the very citizens they are charged with protecting. We now have a standing army in our midst whose
only purpose is to intimidate and control us.
