Here's an incident that happen out here a few days later when two cops got a call on a domestic disturbance at a mall...

‘Absolutely Violent Attack’ at Lakewood Mall Leaves Deputy With ‘Life-Changing’ Injuries

Deputies were able to separate the pair and took them outside the mall. At some point, however, witnesses reported that the man began to violently beat the deputy who escorted him out after the official dropped a set of keys and bent over to pick them up.

The man hit the deputy in the head and then repeatedly kicked him as he was down on the ground, witnesses said.

“It was an absolutely violent attack that was unprovoked,” Capt. Keith Swensson with the Sheriff’s Department said on Saturday. “There was no reason for it to happen.”

A good Samaritan was able to stop the beating, and was being credited with saving the man’s life.

Oh, this guy was unarmed too...

Some of those media feeds are fuzzy .
But I think I have a way to tell the two sides apart .
The cops are the ones with their pants pulled all the way up .

A robbery suspect was killed Tuesday in an officer-involved shooting in St. Louis, just one mile from where 18-year-old Michael Brown was killed 10 days earlier.

Police said a man tried to rob the convenience store with a knife. The suspect refused to put down the weapon when police arrived, and he was shot and killed as he tried to charge at them, police said.

No officers were injured in the incident.

Most cops like the idea of cameras because more often than not it is to their own benefit to prove how events happened. Ferguson only had enough money for 2 dash cams and those vest cameras are much more expensive so I have to wonder where the money is coming from. And while most cops like dash cams they have mixed feelings about the vest cameras because they are heavy, bulky, and awkward to wear.

They could afford $55,000 SUV patrol vehicles and not dash cams? Shows where their priorities lie, that's for sure.

I'm puzzled as to why this took 10 days to come out.

Because the police usually don't like to release information prematurely? The DOJ was already upset by some of the evidence released. Most of what the public has learned so far is unofficial from people talking to reporters.

You might want to rethink that statement.
