St. Louis County police message on toy guns stirs outcry

An unauthorized Facebook post by a St. Louis County Police officer Thursday has forced a restructuring of the department's social media policy.
Written by an officer assigned to the Fenton precinct, the message linked the death of a Cleveland youth to a warning on the danger of toy guns that to some indicated that county police shoot first and ask questions later.
Tamir Rice died Nov. 22 when a police officer, unaware that the object in the 12-year-old's hand was a toy Airsoft pistol, shot the youth in a Cleveland park.
The incident has become part of the national conversation on police tactics and race that have surfaced since the July choke-hold death of Eric Garner in New York City and the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson.
The Facebook post was intended as a caution for parents and youngsters about toy guns that can be mistaken by police for real weapons.
Headlined "Kids will be Kids?" the county police officer wrote in part, "This article is not about this boy losing his life, whether this was a justified shooting or, whether the cops acted too fast. This is about the Fenton Precinct making residents aware of a 'hot' topic and learning from this incident so Fenton never loses a child's life."
County police tweeted a link to the post which was almost immediately removed after social media exploded with accusations that the message reflected insensitivity to the Rice family and the over-arching issues raised by the deaths this year of African-Americans at the hands of white police officers in New York, Cleveland, Ferguson and elsewhere.
"MAYBE the St. Louis County Police Department should think twice before tweeting stuff like this," one Twitter user posted.
"Shockingly insensitive," Tweeted several others.
St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar addressed the outcry in a statement posted mid-afternoon Thursday on the department Facebook page.
"The intention of the post was to inform citizens about the potential danger of Airsoft or pellet guns resembling real guns," the chief wrote. "However, the post was a misguided communication strategy and was offensive to many people."
Belmar acknowledged that the original post "conveyed the message" that county officers may exercise little discretion when responding to reports of a child with a gun.
"I want to emphasize that my officers respond to calls with discernment, and have the highest regard for human life," the chief said. "We train officers to take all facts and circumstances into consideration when making decisions about using force."
The controversial post, Belmar added, went out Thursday morning without the knowledge or clearance of his office.
"The social media policy has been altered in order to prevent future occurrences," he noted.

SC Cop Charged with Murder in Unarmed Man Shooting
Orangeburg County, SC (WLTX) - The former police chief of a small South Carolina town has been charged with murder in the death of an unarmed black man.
Richard Combs appeared in court for a bond hearing Thursday on the charge against him. Bond was set at $150,000.
On May 2nd of 2011, Combs shot and killed 53-year-old Bernard Bailey outside the Eutawville Police Department, the agency that Combs was leading at the time.
Since the death, law enforcement has not revealed many details of what led up to the deadly confrontation. But family members of Bailey say on the day of the shooting, Bailey was going to the police department to check on the status of a traffic ticket issued to his daughter. They say when he arrived at the department, Combs told him there was a warrant out for his arrest for obstruction of justice. After an exchange between the chief and Bailey, his family said he tried to drive away, and that's when Combs fired the shots.
A coroner's report showed Bailey was shot once in the shoulder and twice in the chest.

No Charges in NYC Chokehold Death; Federal Inquiry Launched
Combs' attorney, John O'Leary, accused the prosecutor of bending to nationwide sentiment.
"[Pascoe's] trying to make it race because his timing is perfect," O'Leary said. "He's got all the national issues going on, so they want to drag him in and say look what a great community we've got here because we're going to put a police officer who was doing his job in jail for 30 years. That's wrong."
Carl Grant, an attorney who's advising the Bailey family, said he was told for months this indictment was likely. "We don't know brand of justice they're serving in Ferguson, we don't know what brand of justice they're serving in New York City, but here in South Carolina we believe in the jury system and we believe in what the grand jury has brought as a charge for this indictment," he said.
The family of Bernard Bailey spoke to reporters following a decision to indict the officer who shot him back in 2011.
Eutawville is a town of about 300 residents located 70 miles southeast of Columbia.
LMAO...the highlighted part had me thinking it was 2pac dissing Biggie and Mobb Deep
