MO - Grief & protests follow shooting of teen Michael Brown #25

[Yoda]

These officers have soooooo much patience.

Oh god. I can't believe one of these cops were shot!!!

 

[Opie]

I had to turn the feed off. My blood pressure was going up listening to those screaming, yelling, don't-have-a-clue-about-anything people. I am going back to reading my fellow sleuther's posts only. That was too much.

ITA. I made the same decision earlier this evening. Total insanity.

I think we are coming to the tipping point where the band aid needs to come off. Police should start arresting intigators who are trying to circulate misinformation to rile up the crowds, people will get upset and some folks will get violent, but they police are operating in the face of unreasoning hatred. IF the shooting of the police officer is tied to this unrest over the MB incident then clearly the situation is escalating and its only a matter of time before we have some good old fashioned domestic terrorism. Nip it in the bud, every time the police give a inch, the protesters take a yard. Time to show them that the law can only be bent so far.

So as far as we know, this could be a cop shot, suspect on loose and just fine and these people are still snarling, threatening, berating, swearing at and just all around out of control screaming bloody murder at them. I have never in my life seen such hatred in my life. Such unbridled absolute utter hatred. It is pretty scary.

I wish every single one of these <mod snip> would have to have their mouths washed out with lye soap! This is sickening.

I was thinking this earlier...every concession that is made has only fueled more demands...and the DOJ just sits back and tells LEOs to "take it."

Absolutely infuriating, and quite frankly F'ing scary.

What does she keep repeating?

 

[Lovejac]

If the person that shot the cop is on the loose they REALLY need to let the public know that.

 

[katydid23]

If they could just take those two loudmouths out of there it would be OK. The crazy old cussing lady and the guy in the baseball cap that keeps saying how he is a homeowner and bought his house with cash. [ wonder if the drug cops ears are perking up]

Are we allowed to discuss ustream and livestream HERE or is that more of a downstairs thing. TOS? Does anyone know?

 

[TheDuchess]

Hmmm...I no longer have a live feed anywhere. (maybe that's a good thing?) But does anyone else have one?

 

[Klood-N]

[Yoda]
