Clean up, calm Monday morning after violent night in Ferguson

Is Wilson black or white?

He's probably white, but they haven't posted the pic yet.

Has anyone said how big Brown is?  He looks like a giant compared to that guy in the convenience store.

I kept wondering why Brown would just push the officer into his car. It didn't make sense but after the robbery has come out I understand.  He knew he was caught and was going to run.

The police chief's announcement Friday was met with immediate disbelief and anger by several dozen community members who also attended the news conference, which was hastily held at a gas station burned during a night of looting earlier in the week.

"He stopped the wrong one, bottom line," yelled Tatinisha Wheeler, a nurse's aide who was at the news conference. (notice not at work  )

A couple dozen protesters began marching around the area and in the street chanting, "Hands up, don't shoot," and, "What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!"

I'm sure the man that was terrified looking in that video during the robbery is glad Brown got justice.

Question!  When this first happened there was  a video right after the shooting showing him laying down in a parking lot apron with a wrought iron fence 6 feet from him with 4-5 cops around him and people screaming at the cops.

But when I go look for the footage now I see him being in the middle of a street. Was that the wrong video?

Gina, would you believe I once graded for three industrial sites without a single subgrade or finish grade furnished anyway on the plans? Young, just starting out, female civil engineer did the plans for me and the older customer I was working for. She got state and federal approval and there was never a surveyor on any of the sites. County inspector seems to have been the only one to notice the lack of grades and he tried to give me hell over it.

I did a good bit of work for the young lady engineer and her family. I loved working with her and for her. She had a lot more commonsense than most of the male engineers I had to deal with.

This vicious cycle of young African Americans’ antisocial hostility and acting out, hardly unique to African Americans(Muslims, hint, hint!) or even to Americans(Europe and their problem with Muslims), and ever increasing white fear and barricade building, have intensified racial tensions, as people find the problem intractable and increasingly impossible to discuss honestly.

'There are no police': Ferguson store owners guard businesses; cite lack of police response
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/08/16/there-are-no-police-ferguson-store-owners-guard-businesses-with-own-guns-lack/

Looters in Ferguson, Mo., were met with little police resistance Friday night and store owners say they were forced to protect their businesses with their own guns, Fox2Now.com reported.

"I think the first message is to remind all law enforcement that they are hired to serve and protect and if they’re going to sit back and watch looting, they're not serving us; they’re not protecting us," Pastor Robert White told the station.

A reporter from the station tweeted that police cars were seen driving past some of the stores being looted and did not respond. It rained in Ferguson Friday night and protesters could be seen outside until 6 a.m.

No police response and guess what? Riots happen again. Predictable.

Police respond to St. Louis Galleria following fight

This is worse than Trayvon Martin. Geroge Zimmerman was not a police officer, unlike the one with Mike Brown.

MASSIVE BRAWL Shuts Down St. Louis Galleria …Update: Cops Teargas Ferguson Rioters …Update: Rioters Chuck Bricks on Interstate 270
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/08/massive-brawl-shuts-down-st-louis-galleria-mall-on-lockdown/

Wow, haven't seen any of this. I used to shop at the Galleria all the time, but 4 years ago, right before we moved here, noticed that it was really going down. That's a shame, as it is, or was, a very upscale mall. I stopped going when a small gang of the bros started following me in the afternoon. I was heading out and didn't want them following me to that covered parking. I dashed into a store and wouldn't leave til I determined they were long since gone, trying for other prey.

This is just so sad when the animals take over a city. I taught years ago at a high school in Jennings. It was what drove me from teaching. It's so much worse now. When I was teaching it was an all white school, composed of hooligans who were so tough that they'd stone any black families trying to move into their community. There was a lot of inbreeding, many cases of brothers raping sisters. Can't believe how bad it is now with 70% black, 30% white.

I grew up in one of the burbs not far from Jennings. My parents moved out of there long ago. What was at one time a nice place is ruined. My old high school I last heard is being closed by the state for poor performance, again almost all minority. When I went there they had honors and accelerated classes in many subjects. My first year in college was boring, because all of it had already been covered in high school. So sad.

Sorry to hear how much the St. Louis area has changed for the worse, especially closer to the city. East St. Louis is Third World from what I have read.

St. Louis Galleria is west of St. Louis in St. Louis County.

Justice Department Reportedly Asked Ferguson Cops Not To Release Alleged Robbery Video Of Slain Teen
http://www.businessinsider.com/feds-objected-to-the-release-of-alleged-michael-brown-robbery-tape-2014-8

Police in Ferguson released a video tape allegedly showing slain teen Michael Brown robbing a store even though the Justice Department warned that doing so could inflame racial tensions, CNN is reporting.

Ferguson cops had wanted to release the video on Thursday but held off when federal officials asked them not to release the tape, an unnamed law enforcement official told CNN. That tape allegedly showed Brown stealing cigars from a convenience store before a police officer shot the unarmed 18-year-old in the street last weekend.

Despite holding off Thursday, Ferguson police still decided to release the tape Friday over the Justice Department's objections, according to CNN.

Hmmmmmmmmmm. Why would Holder DOJ object to the release of surveillance video of Michael Brown robbing a store.

And why would the Obama "Justice" Department ask Ferguson PD to violate MO state law?

Does the Trayvon train double back and attack other vehicles on the track?

It probably just sulks around strange neighborhoods and scopes out affluent-looking houses.

EYEWITNESS: MICHAEL BROWN RAN FROM COP CAR, 'DOUBLED BACK' AND CHARGED AT OFFICERS

A newly-discovered video taken in the aftermath of Ferguson, Missouri teen Michael Brown's death features a conversation between two bystanders, one whom relays what he witnessed—and he states that Brown fled a police car but then "doubled back" and was charging at officers as they fired at him.

The transcript starts @ 7:56.  The witness encounter starts @ 6:14.  Everything before that is just cursing and jibber jabber.

I have no doubt that St. Michael was about to roll some blunts.

However, if he was also high on his cough syrup cocktail, wouldn't that explain his aggressive behavior?
