Damn, that's funny.:laughing:
I was trying to abstain from commenting on this thread but-this news made my nose a fountain of sweet tea onto my computer screen.
Don Lemon said the situation started with DJ interfering with LE arresting another person. Oh I forgot, also that he threw narcotics on the ground.

=============================================
DJ-
I started a draft for your Assault Complaint against StL Metro Police. Just FYI.
Never mind allegations about po-po, can fix later.
For now focus = getting out the word about you, something talk shows can quote in coming weeks.
Freemun Boslee* sends you his best, wishes he could be here w us.

Back to scheduling interviews w national MSM & negotiating book, movie rights, etc.
Gotta fly.

Assault
On May _, 2015 at approximately ___a./p.m., Plaintiff Dorian Johnsonwas
peacefully and lawfully walking down __ in St. Louis, with his companion
Gentle Giant, as they returned from their volunteer work serving mealsat the homeless shelter. Plaintiff and Giant's actions did notimpair or impede traffic.
At the same time, Officer ___ was operating a marked police vehicleon __. As he approached the pair, he slowed his vehicle to a stop andordered them to Get the f*ck on the sidewalk which they had justsurrendered to roller-skating children who were previously onthe street.
Officer ___ parked his vehicle at an angle so as to block the pathsof Plaintiff
Johnson and Giant, who were going to Giant's grandmother's house for milk andcookies.
When the pair was stopped by Officer ___ without reasonable suspicion of
criminal activity, Plaintiff and Giant were then without justification andunreasonably detained and prevented from taking Giant's Grandmother to choirpractice while they met w their Bible study group.
Officer ___ stopped his vehicle just inches from Giant and forcefullyopened
his door, striking Giant and prompting Plaintiff Johnson to mentallyreview first aid skills, he learned as a Boy Scout Troop.
Officer ___ then reached through his window and grabbed Giant, who was
closer to Officer ___ than Plaintiff Johnson. Officer ___ thereafterthreatened to shoot his
weapon. As Giant struggled to break free, Officer ___ discharged hisweapon twice,
striking Giant in the arm, while Plaintiff Johnson's attention wasdrawn to a burning apt building third-story window at which a woman wailed"Help me. Please save my baby, I cannot hold him any longer. Somebodycatch my baby."
Surprised by Officer ___s use of excessive force and fearing for his life,
Plaintiff Johnson ran away from Officer ___ and toward the conflagrationarriving in time to catch the baby.
At no point in time did Officer ___ order Plaintiff Johnson orGiant to stop
or freeze as Plaintiff Johnson administered CPR to the baby.
Without any provocation by Plaintiff Johnson and without any legal justification,
Officer ___ withdrew his weapon and fired it at Plaintiff Johnsonas Johnson climbed
-up drainpipe to rescue the tearful mother still atthe third floor window
The report said that as the officers who went to the scene dispersed the crowd, they noticed that one man had a bulge in his clothes that they suspected might be a weapon. A second man grabbed the arm of the officer who attempted to pat the first man down. The officer then attempted to detain the second man.
That prompted a third man to approach the officer and yell at him in an attempt to stop the arrest, the report said. That man allegedly then discarded narcotics onto the ground.
Well, at least this offers a chance that DW will have to answer for his actions, even if in some watered-down way.
I know the majority will disagree with me on this, and frankly, I don't care. I think DW was wrong. I think he panicked and reacted, and it is inevitable that people were going to speak out (I don't mean riots), and it is their, OUR right as Americans to say "oh, heck NO! ".
If the Freddy Gray officers are found to be guilty as charged, will those LE defenders sit back, relax and agree, "why yes. Those officers must have been at fault!" ?
Or will they insist that there must have been corruption? Admittedly, I think DW in the Stl case stinks to high heaven. But will the people who are upset by my belief that DW is a bad cop resign themselves should a verdict be passed that these 6 cops are GUILTY?
Will you simply sigh and say, "ah yes, justice has been done?".
I confess I could not believe in the innocence of OJ, the Ramseys, Casey Anthony, or Darren Wilson.
But by law, they are not guilty. (Except OJ getting busting for other stuff not related to the murders)
Solitaryone thx for link.
"Dorian was arrested for resisting arrest, but he claims he was just trying to help his brothers."I have injuries on my body. I have injuries and scars from [when the officer] slammed my face down on the concrete," Dorian said. "[They] hit me on the cruiser, put me in the cruiser, raised up all the windows, and put it on high heat.""

If DJ has "injuries & scars" from his arrest 2 days ago, he is one fast healer.
If intro pix pre-vid is mugshot, I am missing injuries from where
LE "slammed my face down on the concrete."
ATM no coverage yet from stltoday i.e., StL Post-Dispatch.
