He was from St. Ann municipality.

Unacceptable.

Albers was a police lieutenant who has 20 years of police service and although suspended, I wonder if he would qualify for his pension or a percentage of it?

Pure speculation on my part here, but so far as I know, most if not all departments allow someone to retire when reaching 20 years service. Who knows that maybe he was seconded to Ferguson instead of being allowed to enjoy a happy retirement.

Albers pointed the gun at a peaceful protester after a "verbal exchange," according to St. Louis County Police Officer Brian Schellman, a spokesman for the department. He said a St. Louis County sergeant immediately forced the officer to lower his weapon and escorted him from the area.

Albers was relieved of duty and suspended indefinitely, Schellman said.ex]

So one bad cop represents all of them? Just like the looters and rioters speak for all the protesters of the black community? Wow what double standard.

So are you conversing with your imaginary friend? Because I'm not seeing any posts prior to yours that say all cops are bad.

When police officers start abusing the public that pay their wages, mayhem will result, its only a matter of time.

That was glorious. Thank you. Instant karma is the best kind of karma.
