Ferguson, MO, What would you do if this happened near you

[rugerla1]

Another live feed, been going on for hours already. People throwing rocks off overpasses, shooting close to a McDonalds and "peaceful protestors" are throwing stuff at cops and the first responder can't even get to the victim, large group of people fighting in another area......Black version of Jerry Springer, except their actions are affecting every citizen in the country. Don't want the Guard coming in, quit rioting/acting like idiots and breaking the law!

They are standing everywhere in the road, people honking trying to get through and just standing there. Laws? What laws?  :rant:

What were they protesting in Murfreesboro?

 

More of a sympathetic protest to what's going on in Ferguson, MO.

It was a small as those pictures make it seem.  I wasn't exaggerating when I said I could count a Murfreesboro PD officer for every person marching.

 

ETA:  Here is a video of it.

Just checked the Ferguson weather forecast... it's going to stay nice. Where's a good thunderstorm (or two) when you need one? Lol

[rugerla1]

There are thousands in Ferguson tonight. It's going to be bad I'm afraid come curfew time. Last night in the rain it took 2 hours (after curfew) to get a couple hundred people out. Tonight will not go that well and more crowd for a coward shooter to shoot at a cop and run without having return fire put back at him.

Reports of officer down and McDonalds over run employees locking themselves inside

Little more drama... one of the cops apparently threatened to shoot the live stream camera man for turning on the light. Oops Edited August 18, 2014 by Batman

And right after that on another feed, a guy said he was going to burn down the police station. Way too much fuel with only one mistake needed for fire!

The media is doing an excellent job of "Race Baiting".  Don't let them get to you.

Some people bite everytime. Some fresh us vs them prior to the elections

Not good...  It's almost like somebody read the book on how to get the government to over react... and the government is falling right inline.

 

I question how so many shots can be fired 'at' the police, yet not a single officer, vehicle or nearby item has a bullet hole in it?  I understand that gang bangers probably aren't the best shots...  but for this to be believed it takes not hitting the broad side of a barn to a whole new level.

 

The optics look bad no matter how you slice it...  Officers wearing camo pointing rifles directly at protesters who have their hands up in the air yelling don't shoot...

 

First rule when the state troopers took over.. no police officer is allowed to respond wearing anything other than standard patrol uniform...  camo/bdu's not allowed - I'm not  suggesting that shouldn't be wearing their protective gear only talking about the uniform.  No more plainclothes either...
