Ferguson LEO

[SupaRice]

Have you guys been watching any of the footage.... There's a guy who's on the front line every night.... With a pink pump...870?

 

 

 

 

Me thinks he's not the one to mess with.... heh

[monkeylizard]

It's wood. The red+blue=purple police lights make it look pink. Same thing with the cross-walk signal, the dude on the left's uniform and helmet, and the shotgun cop's left arm.

[Chucktshoes]

Actually, I think it isn't wood. I believe it probably is a colored polymer furniture set to designate a shotgun that is to only be loaded with less lethal rounds (sandbags, blocks) probably orange but the lights are making it appear pink.

[monkeylizard]

It looks like the standard tan wood color to me. Notice the stock is shielded from the lights by his body. His right arm and sleeve are not discolored so the stock is probably the real color of the stock and pump.

 

Either way, he's not sporting the Hello Kitty model.

In all honesty folks, I would not care what color gun a person is sporting if the muzzle is pointed at me I would not want them to pull the trigger................jmho

[SupaRice]

I'm pretty sure it's not wood... I've seen it several times now under different light and it is definitely pink or maybe orange... Just turned to the TV and there were two LEO with them on. So it must be to designate non-lethal ammo or something?

[gjohnsoniv]

It's definitely orange.  As Chuck said, it's for designating what's to be loaded or what is currently loaded.

[rugerla1]

Yes it's orange, and they say Less Lethal on the buttstock. Saw a lot of them on live feed last night.

[Garufa]

So he's not just celebrating diversity?

At least that officer has muzzle control while handling his weapon.  Less than Lethal, or slugs, I'm more confident in his ability to wield the gun responsibly than say...this guy

ETA: The officer in this video was apparently relieved of duty after complaints from people who saw the video.  The system works...sort of.

Is that the gun that fires ear plugs?

[rugerla1]

LMAO!

[JayC]

Where are the charges though?  Seems like a pretty clear case...  at least a couple of felonies under TN law I see... and I suspect MO law as well.

Lethal, non-lethal . . . 

 

I feel for the local LEOs caught up in this. 

 

The f'ing National Narrative and a lot of bad actors are turning this into something else over which the local and state folks have zero control. 

 

I think we've all seen enough presentations of this Three-Act Play to be totally disgusted.

 

It's like watching a bad presentation of a Shakespearean play where everybody dies on-stage.
