CNN: Ferguson grand jury decision expected today

I muted the president...

He was talking over the stream.

I haven't seen one African American police officer. That's pretty bad. The city has 50 white LEOs, 3 black LEO's in a town with 13,800 black people (65%), 6,500 white people (30%), other races (5%).


Obama speaking on Fox now, talking about racial discrimination. Title under Obama "Obama distrust exists between police and some communities of color; lessons should be drawn from tragic events."

So it begins

so much for non-violent protest!

SMashing store windows and flipping police cars and smashing # is not non-violent! cops have a right to defend themselves and protect the city and population!

What did that cop car ever do to yall?

Meanwhile fireworks and gunshots!!!

Like the 4th of July!!!

Damn yall this escalated quickly...

The tear gas is coming! The tear gas is coming!

Yes I love how Obama blamed the Law Enforcement community as a whole for the issues between them and the"colored communities". However we must not forget to "seize the moment" as Obama put it. He is guilty of playing the race game as much as any white police officer ever has. In his time growing up hes seen the change? You mean the change from your Middle-Upper class to Upper class to Head of State? He has about as much of an idea what its like to be a resident of Ferguson as I do, a white middle class New Yorker.

Robert McCulloch's presser was basically an incitement to riot by the happiest prosecutor who ever lost his grand jury indictment 'attempt.'

The police are now shooting tear gas over buildings, at people doing nothing, and chasing some fleeing.

e: Never mind the woman who read the letter from Wilson on air, who was wearing a hat with a badge that said "Support Darren Wilson" with the date he shot and killed an unarmed Michael Brown, Jr.

hyperventilating.......
Rage on all you want against one side or the other! We might be programmed, taught and deluded into thinking the way that our 'educators' want us to sway. Can you look with a critical eye, totally removed from the media programming?
This is a Wag the Dog!

Your comments and proclivities are being monitored and tallied.
People, we have to be kind to each other and come together.

I seriously don't understand how I can frequent a website whose community is constantly screaming about the Police State and see such bizarre comments in support of said police.

It's... almost inconceivable.

Just seen dozens store fronts
destroyed!

is anyone watching this live feed? did anyone just see the 5 or more cop cars that just drove past the burning cruiser?

True that! Everyone crying for a reset, but when that button gets pushed......hey, wait a minute. Go back, go back. Pretty hypocritical. Resets hurt, people. If they didn't, they wouldn't be effective.

Jesus. Somebody should have whispered to the President, that as he was speaking all hell had broken loose. Even the media knows the cops are in the right tonight.

Insane.

That poor man's store is getting robbed. Again. He said a couple weeks back that he bought an extra gun. Guess he decided not to use it.

Where are his rights?

Most people here support the rule of law it seems, as well as meaningful protest not senseless looting. Im against police abuse and the use of the equipment in use in Ferguson right now, but these "protesters" have been out for blood.

edit- id like to add that while watching the live feed the police do seem to be building this up as much as possible themselves. they have police in full military gear with no name tags guarding a police station.

Yes. And no one can even realize this. This focus on a small incident has distracted from the other hand...or other hidden hands.
How can the POS have a nation -wide propaganda scheme about a small town disagreement in Missouri, and yet totally neglect answering to his completely inappropriate behavior in his cherished time as our absolute VOICE to the world. The voice sounds like retching caught masterbating apologetic adolescent b lechhhh.

Ok What is the other hand doing?

Wait but there is more ...

He's got insurance. He'll be okay.

Bassem Masri was just hit in the head with a tear gas canister. They were telling people to move north or get arrested, then he was.
