Protester charged with shooting officers in Ferguson
A 20-year-old protester has been charged with shooting two police officers in Ferguson, Mo., last week, authorities said Sunday.
County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch said Jeffrey Williams was charged with two counts of assault in the first degree, one count of firing a weapon from a vehicle, and thee counts of armed criminal action.
McCulloch said Williams admitted firing the shots, but said he was shooting at someone else.
"We're not sure we buy that part of it," McCulloch said, adding that the handgun used in the shooting has been recovered.
He said Williams was involved in the demonstration that was wrapping up when the incident took place. Williams, he said, was being held in lieu of $300,000 cash bail.

So, it was a drive by and not from the hill above like thought. I didn't see if they mentioned the type of gun in the presser.
Real right wing agent provocateur!

4. I saw the video of the actual shooting and saw no car in the frame. Also heard the eye witnesses
shouting that it had come from a house on a street they were pointing towards. That is the house the police and swat teams were searching.
And to say this was a 'protester' is questionable. Just because someone joins a crowd, doesn't make them part of that crowd. Not to mention, I believe nothing McCullough has to say, so will wait for someone more credible to weigh in.
You make tree moss look like Einstein sabrina.

19. It was a good guess.
Sadly some here are far to insecure to do such things, they have to wait for information to be spoonfed to them.
You and sabrina ought to get together,watching you two try to out idiot each other would be better then a party game.

9. Gee, what a surprise. They catch a guy that fits their profile and call him a protester right off
the bat.
What are the odds
Too bad the DA and police in MO have lost all credibility, entirely and completely.
Even if they are telling the truth, for once, who would know?

16. Exactly! After watching the GJ farce, who would believe they
have any credibility left? OTOH, the white racists will have a field day now that it turned out not to be one of their own.

22. Oh I know, they will be positively glowing over this.
NOT that they wanted to defend RWing white racists from false accusations mind you...no no, nothing like that at all.
The definition of "demented".
