Protest followed by massive looting in STL

National Guard deployed: http://www.kmov.com/news/local/Gov-Nixon-authorizes-National-Guard-resources--271630671.html

Aye, I’m originally from the Hampton Roads area. Spent many a time playing in the local arcades during the SF2 days. Patrick Henry Mall and the old Tilt arcade was my major hangout back then.

Also, the National Guard is getting called in after last night. Shit is getting real.

Keep arguing on the side of the police

THE COPS ARE GODLY BEINGS THAT CAN DO NO WRONG, CLEARLY EVERYONE THAT THIS HAPPENED TO WERE THUGS

guilty!

Gret history on the area and why things like this were gonna happen eventually.

wonder where the cop is?.. probably not even in the state

mike brown could still have been shot with his back turned…if he was running away and the bullet grazed his arm…then he turned around and the rest of the shots come from the front.

also yeah, he was shot while kneeling/falling forward. the bullet that hit the top of his head went out through his jaw and reentered the body through the top of the shoulder area…

its a damn shame that this cop is on paid leave.
its a damn shame that these clowns have access to military vehicles and m16’s and flash bang grenades and tear gas but no dash cams.
its a damn shame that the media is focusing on looting and so called violence but won’t touch the reports of ppl breaking into mcdonalds for MILK to relieve ppl of the pain of tear gas…or the reports of anarchists out of chicago trying to incite via handing out molotov cocktails…

or reporters being held at gun point and falsely arrested (and talking to actual reporters this has happened to)

or the puppet ron johnson being an appointed puppet put in place to try to appease black people. INSULTING.

and where is obama? smh in disgust. all this reflecting and whatever else…FOH. this is a united states problem/issue. this isn’t limited to ferguson…its just that those ppl decided to actually stand up. thank God.

hopefully this brings about true and actual change.

Shut the fuck up with your assumptions, man. You are in no way qualified to make them. Playing CoD for years does not a firearm professional make.

That was a good watch, especially the end message about the curfew and it being a test. I love his response to that at 14:35. . Fucking random town in georgia with a population of 8500 with a tank. LOL, smfh. This country is so retarded.

There is so much coming from ferguson right now about how we are as a nation in general. The racism being shed light outside of the brown situation. The militarization of the police force, handling equipment they arent even trained properly on, and dealing with situations they clearly arent trained properly in. The patronizing attitude towards citizens that government officials have in general, especially towards the black community. The fact that people will take any situation to do some stupid shit, like randomly come in not to protest, but to just fucking try to insight more anger and anarchy. Denial by its mayor, trying to paint the city as completely fine, and this is just some random left incident, not something that has been in the making or decades.The list goes on.

Its like everything wrong going on in ferguson, along with the history of things that are coming out about st louis in general is like a microcosm of our country.

So I’m probably right about some government/corporate faction coming in to stir things up then. Damn. smdh. :frowning: Shit’s probably about to get a lot worse.

Also, have they CONFIRMED that it was Brown and Johnson that stole the stuff from the convenience store? I guess I missed that. Brown was a big dude and I can see how that probably would have worked to his disadvantage as Wilson may have been afraid of things getting out of control and going bad for him. But six shots…damn.

I don’t know if anyone missed this, but the doctor that performed the autopsy that we DO have has stated clearly and unmistakably that there was no gunshot residue found on his body and also that there were no signs of an altercation.

So basically, what the fuck happened? I mean, even without residue, I don’t know if a tshirt is enough to stop powder burns at point blank range. Maybe it’s enough. I don’t know, but none of the rounds hit him appear to have been at close range, based on the skin. Maybe the clothes have residue.

he clearly stated he didn’t have access to the clothes, and the clothing could have the powder burns on it.

Yes, johnson admitted to stealing the cigars last week, and its clear that, that is brown in the store, as the outfit is the exact same, down to the socks.

I hope people realize that their own racism is going to be the death of this country. Just because the victim’s are black, they are willing to let the police get away with shit they shouldn’t get away with, which means that shit can be applied to everyone. Look at the militarization of the police. Do you know the astounding number of people who feel as though this community sympathizes with thugs and that they deserve this?

Some of these people need to wake up. Its not your problem yet, but its sure as hell gonna be your problem if you allow this to continue, because these people are citizens, just like you. Allowing this injustice to happen to them is gonna bite you back in the ass later when its happening to you. Oh, you’ll remember those times it happened to “them” and all of those times you could have spoken up yet remained silent, but it will already be too late, and your country will be gone.

The footage from the Vine video is actually several days old, just as food for thought. There was someone who tweeted the same Vine (and got a lot of retweets) assuming it was footage from last night or the day before due to the upload date.

I’m not super familiar with ballistics so I left my powder burns comment as uncertain as I could make it in text.

Some answers to some common questions being thrown around.

So this woman says she saw it all go down: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/video-cell-phone-michael-brown-shooting

What she says is that she saw them struggle inside the vehicle, Brown run away, the cop get out and fire a shot. That’s where Brown turned around and was hit with the six shots. She doesn’t mention him surrendering or anything.
