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

[bettybaby00]

Some of the people in chat on Bassem's link think that in order for a black person to be racist they must have power. Therefore a black person can not be racist but could be a bigot. Education is not a big priority apparently.

Right out of Jessie Jackson's play book.

Why do these people not bring things they need like drink to these protest. You would think by now day ( whatever) they would have learned their lesson.

As far as I can tell, officially LE is still searching for the suspect in tonight's police officer wounding. Or am I wrong? Has there been an official description of the suspect released via the media yet.

I'm asking about official news, not this twitter stuff.

And, a little of my faith in humanity is restored. Here's a tweet from -- based on her avatar -- a black woman:

Praying for the officer's family in #Ferguson and the entire community.

There are plenty of good people out there, of every race. Gotta remember that what we've been seeing on these live feeds is just a tiny slice.

So true. My AA friends and neighbors are some of the most angry and offended by this entire Ferguson thing. This is a sub-cultural and politico-ideological problem. Calling it a racial issue is insulting, simplistic, and a frank ploy.

...CNN just gave the officer another 30 seconds of coverage... half of which was about the shooting of MB. :gaah:

Anybody catching what is being said by the man in the suit and the guy in the t-shirt standing in front of the FPD?

I had to mute that one. It sounded like some drunk guy telling the guy in the suit he didn't want to go back to slavery!

I've heard nothing . I'm guessing people all over the streets standing in LE's way is making searching for the perp pretty difficult. Would they be ' obstructing' justice?

Man in the suit is a reporter with the bad media (MSM) T-shirt guy was veteran and did not like everything that was going on. Now woman is debating the reporter on fair reporting.

Barnes-Jewish and Christian Hospital officials will not comment on whether the #Ferguson officer was taken to either of their facilities.

Mine too as well as friends from other cultural and ethnic backgrounds. And I totally agree with your assessment of the situation.

 

[Ladylub]

Does she not believe this guy on argus that it was shown on tv? Sounds like she is not as informed as she thinks she is about the situation.

 

[Solitaryone]

I hope the cop who got shot had a body cam on! I hope the shooter was caught on tape!

Ferguson officer shot in arm, police say

Police say the shooting occurred while the officer was at the Ferguson Community Center checking the building.

K9 unit came through.
(So are there protesters any more or did they all go home? There aren't any on any of the live feeds.)
