Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ronald Johnson is preparing for a press conference in Ferguson, Mo.

During a live interview with CNN early Tuesday morning, he did not disclose the details of the briefing but said: “I’m hoping when I’m done with that briefing, the press and I are still friends.”

1. Well, the 1st amendment trumps his personal vendetta with Media

If he doesnt like freedom of the press he can leave, find another profession or even find another country to live.

2. Yeah, fuck him.

Wish there were protesters there with the text of the First Amendment on big signs.

8. oh I totally agree with President Obama

I think the police have been overzealous, to put it politely, with the media. For god's sake, if the media can go into Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam back in the day, why not into Ferguson ? The cynical side of me thinks the police are simply trying to do their dirty work with no public scrutiny.

9. And, I don't think we have to be too cynical to see.."the police are simply trying to do their dirty

work with no public scrutiny."

11. +1!

I could not agree more, Cha.

12. It was a short love affair.

I think everyone figured out his bullshit within a couple of days.

13. Capt. Ron Johnson has proved to be no different than Chief Jackson.

He came in and conned the people, now that he's done with the con, they can see him for what he is.
