FERGUSON, MO (KTVI) – Around midnight a two police officers near the Ferguson Police Department were shot according to St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporters at the scene

I am going to repost this here as I did in the other thread, it is going to be very interesting to see this develop.

Considering the report that came out last week about institutionalized rascism throughout the Ferguson PD and the Police Chief as well as other city officials resigning, it seems quite convenient to me that this would happen, it has the benefit of distracting from the report and gaining support for the cops.

Why would someone from the community do this when they are actually having justice happen and the department being held accountable??

The chief, Thomas Jackson, who took over the Ferguson Police Department five years ago, becomes the latest high-ranking city official to fall in the wake of a scathing Justice Department report that accused the city of using its municipal court and police force as moneymaking tools that routinely violated constitutional rights and disproportionately targeted blacks. The municipal judge and city manager, as well as the top court clerk and two police supervisors, have stepped down in the wake of the report’s release last week.
