I was told "It's going down" in front of #Ferguson PD. This fight is on multiple fronts tonight.

"Reporter" went off air because there was "privileged information" that he would not stream? He won't "give anybody any evidence..."? Nothing like impartial reporting. smh

Anyone have an actual live stream? I think my feed has gone into endless loop mode.

Capt. Johnson is here on West Florissant:

Hopefully he's there for tactical decisions, because after being menaced and run off earlier today, he's value as "token" per protestors is spent.

So, I wonder what they think is going to happen if police move back? Let's assume that the police say, "I give up." and go home, leaving the entire town to police itself. What then? Are these lunatics going to just rob, loot, and burn until a citizen is forced to shoot and kill them? Then what? Will others then protest the shooting of the looters? This has reached insane proportions. They need to start arresting these people now. Every single one of them.

Now that LE has been forced to go the route of coddling the rioters and thugs for a couple of weeks, the criminal element is only emboldened. "Hug-a-" policies clearly have made everything worse. It's going to be even harder to establish some kind of order, IMO.

Their first mistake (administrators, and LE leaders), IMO, was pretending that there was some kind of meaningful dialogue to be had, and that if they only "listened" to what the criminals had to say, and "validated their feelings", and tried to "understand" the perspective of the many people who regularly break all kind of laws, that the "racial divide" could be bridged. Preposterous. That was an immense tactical error, IMO. These are people who spit on clergy. Elected state senators who engage in lies, incitement to riot, and ignorant hate language. Thugs who ambush innocent drivers. These are not young people "in pain" from "racial oppression." They are thugs, criminals, the lowest bottom feeders in society. MB's death has nothing to do with the way these criminals are acting. His death just gives them an excuse to spew hate, incite riots, and carry on like the thugs and criminals they are. IMO.

At this point in time, there can be no meaningful dialogue with people who loot beauty supply stores and spit on clergy. They simply need a strong, controlling LE presence, IMO, to re-establish some kind of order, for the safety of the rest of the community. With lots of arrests. That whole area, IMO, needs to be placed under martial law. Put the military in the streets patrolling. Let them live under that for a few weeks, and they might just welcome the LE officers back. IMO.

The rioters do not deserve one iota of respect extended to them. Frankly, I don't think many people care at all what their "perspective" is, or whether they feel "oppressed". Ask the Beauty Town owner if he cares about how oppressed the thugs are that keep trashing his business-- the business that helps local women look and feel their best. I'm guessing he just wants to sell beauty supply merchandise to pay his bills, and go home alive at the end of the day.His store is targeted because it's an easy target.

But then he said, "we got 2nd shift coming up here soon"

If I were a cop, I'd call in sick. These poor men risking their lives each day to serve this community. Over Teddy Bears. GMAB.

I am glad CNN is there. Let the world watch.

Oh yeah. That kid will go far. Talk about motivational!

Maybe he will pose for some inappropriate pictures with the looters again? Sign autographs? March with the looters and rioters?

He's not part of the solution-- he contributes to the problems, IMO.

The police are aggravating the protestors. #ferguson

By what? Breathing? Hindering their crimes?

I'm sorry...I'm probably not supposed to post this, but I just have to:

"Antonio French is reported to be organizing a bear registration drive for this weekend. Several University students have volunteered to canvas the 100 Acre Wood and educate the plush citizens on their rights. Barbie is said to be coordinating a supportive March as the community moves forward with the healing process."

Muchly, Dahlink!

I'll say it....

I truly believe this was either started by the candles, or some "protesters" started the fire to get people interested in their cause again. :yes:

Bumping my first post from earlier this morning. I totally believe they did this themselves. Look at the results. It's damn shameful.

If I were a betting woman, I would be willing to bet this young man has some pretty great parents! They must be really proud. :loveyou:

When your peaceful protests incite angry mobs, your protests are no longer peaceful.
