Perhaps the "peaceful protestors" in Ferguson can use that excuse. I heard a few days ago that the police were called because it was reported folks were stealing whatever was left over from one of the beauty places that had been burned. A friend in STL told me that they were arresting 6 people for carrying out stuff that they found in the rubble when they were fired on from both sides. Luckily the bad guys were poor shots.
The cops shouldn't answer calls from that area. Just let them stew in their own polluted juice.
As far as Bob Beckle, he's a lib pig.
