It's a niqqers damned world, ain't it?

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) � Anger spurred by the death of a black teenager at the hands of a white police officer boiled over again when protesters stormed into a Missouri convenience store � the same store that Michael Brown was accused of robbing.

It's not just us here at the 'Fire that "get it".

Read the comments after the story... (while you can... I'm sure the comments will be disabled shortly because the truth is spoken.)

It IS nice to see we aren't the only ones, and that the media doesn't have everyone buffaloed.

I wouldn't have allowed it more than one day...National Guard...Marshal Law...Curfew...shot on sight...

How could we possibly give them more leeway?

It's not for a lack of trying. ^

Not surprising, but even FOX is spinning this thing into some kind of civil rights violation without knowing chit about what actually happened between the cop and suspect.

I wasn't there either but I'd be willing to bet the cop didn't just decide to shoot the guy because of the color of his skin.

The whole thing's f'd up and both sides seem to be hell bent to make it worse.

Did you see the speech by Rep. john Lewis?

(Paraphrase) there is no need to have police here with armored vehicles, and military style weapons. president Oba needs to declare Marshall Law, and Federalize the National Guard and send them here

I'm guessing when it comes out as a justified shoot, things might get sporty all across the country.

Race issues weren't issues before Obama.

We have been purposely set back 50 years or more with all the race baiters in the past 2-3 years.

I'm a prime example of this myself. Before all the race baiter driven BS in the past few years, I never even had "race" on the radar. But now that this is shoved down our throats on a daily basis, I am seeing it for what it is... Incitement to not only riot, but to involve Americans in an all out race war, where the current administration has already chosen the winner.

I wouldn't have allowed it more than one day...National Guard...Marshal Law...Curfew...shot on sight...

What happened to the old days when " looters will be shot". Is it against the law to shoot looters now. Hasbeen

The rioters and looters don't have jobs, so no loss there. They do however have an income that is secure, so no loss there either, likewise their food stamps, health care, and subsidized housing should all still be intact.

The business owners, those in the community that truly strive to be productive, are punished the most….

Yes. It is illegal to use deadly force on looters.

Not in Texas.

Unfortunately location has little to do with it any more.

And the restrictions on Use of Force are getting more severe every day. I foresee a massive shortage in law enforcement personnel within the next 10 years.

I hope it does. It's time. I'm tired of seeing how far we will go to placate these people. Time to get down to reality.

There is only so much pushing a person can take before they say "enough", and the fight is on...

Location has quite a bit to do with the justification of deadly force under state law.

Texas and few other states have specific laws that say you can shoot to protect property. Especially at night. Location where that happens may mean the difference in living free afterwards, or in the penitentiary.

where are the suicide bombers when you need one?

I love how Faux News tries to explain there are "peaceful" protesters.

How the fugg can you protest something that isn't known? Get the fugg off the street you lazy fuggs.



I just saw Uma Pemmaraju on FOX "America's News Headquarters" do an in-depth interview
about how many of the looters are coming into Ferguson from outside.

And FOX has this:
�STORE OWNERS IN FERGUSON say police are not intervening when looters target their stores, and that they are forced to protect their businesses, as police confirm that there were no arrests Friday night despite clashes with up to 200 protesters who say they want answers in the killing of an unarmed black teenager.�




Travis

Hmmmm, sub sonic 22s�perhaps a suppressor�..


Could be the solution to a social problem�.

Yes. It is illegal to use deadly force on looters.

Keep in mind that the Ferguson and St. Louis Cops are NO LONGER in operational command of the scene. A black State Trooper Captain is. He schmoozed with Sharpton and company right off the rip. SO the "military show of force" was withdrawn and orders were given NOT to do anything. I don't think anybody but the SP Captain and the rioters are happy about it.

I hope it does. It's time. I'm tired of seeing how far we will go to placate these people. Time to get down to reality.

There is only so much pushing a person can take before they say "enough", and the fight is on...

So then, the government class looters, cops, pols, and organizers have, now, dropped even the pretense of opposition and have openly joined forces to oppress and bleed, both literally and figuratively, private citizens.

I foresee a massive shortage in law enforcement personnel within the next 10 years.

I guarantee you it won't get sporty in Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana....

Was it wrong making the guy dead in the street my screen saver?

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.

Two store owners, standing outside their business holding guns, told Fox2Now.com that when they called 911, they were sent from one police agency to another, and got no response.

One of the owners, with a large black gun resting on his shoulder, told the station that police were lined up blocks from the looting, and did not engage looters making off with large boxes from these stores.

"There's no police," he said. "We trusted the police to keep it peaceful; they didn't do their job."

Former St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch tweeted: "You did not see "police restraint" overnight. You saw police reluctant to act. We cannot keep stoning the keepers at the gate."

Just before midnight, some in what had been a large and rowdy but mostly well-behaved crowd broke in a convenience store that police accused 18-year-old Michael Brown of robbing minutes before he was fatally shot by an officer, and began looting it, said Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson.

Some in the crowd of about 200 began throwing rocks and other objects at police, Johnson said. One officer was hurt but details on the injury were not immediately available.

Johnson said police backed off to try and ease the tension. No arrests were made.

"We had to evaluate the security of the officers there and also the rioters," Johnson said. "We just felt it was better to move back."

Meanwhile, peaceful protesters yelled at the aggressors to stop what they were doing. About a dozen people eventually blocked off the front of the convenience store to help protect it.

Friday marked a resurgence of unrest that had momentarily abated after Gov. Jay Nixon turned oversight of the protests over to the Missouri Highway Patrol Thursday. Gone were the police in riot gear and armored vehicles, replaced by the new patrol commander who personally walked through the streets with demonstrates.

The violence erupted after a day that included authorities identifying the officer who fatally shot Brown on Aug. 9. At the same news conference in which officer Darren Wilson was named, Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson released documents alleging that Brown stole a $48.99 box of cigars from the convenience store, then strong-armed a man on his way out.

The released surveillance video shows a man wearing a ball cap, shorts and white T-shirt grabbing a much shorter man by his shirt near the store's door. A police report alleges Brown grabbed the man who had come from behind the store counter and "forcefully pushed him back" into a display rack.

Wilson, the officer who shot Brown, did not know the teen was a robbery suspect at the time of the shooting and stopped Brown and a companion "because they were walking down the middle of the street blocking traffic," Jackson said Friday. Police said they found evidence of the stolen merchandise on Brown's body.

Wilson is a six-year police veteran -- two in neighboring Jennings and four in Ferguson -- and had no previous complaints filed against him, Jackson said, describing him as "a gentle, quiet man" who had been "an excellent officer."

Wilson has been on paid administrative leave since the shooting. St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch said it could be weeks before the investigation wraps up.

Jackson's decision to spell out the allegations that Brown committed the robbery, and his releasing of surveillance video, angered attorneys for Brown's family and many in the community, including U.S. Rep. William Lacy Clay.

Earlier Friday night, the Democratic congressman took a bullhorn and told protesters, "They have attempted to taint the investigation. They are trying to influence a jury pool by the stunt they pulled today."

Another family attorney, Benjamin Crump, said police "are choosing to disseminate information that is very strategic to try to help them justify the execution-style" killing, said Crump, who also represented the family of Trayvon Martin, the teenager fatally shot by a Florida neighborhood watch organizer who was later acquitted of murder.

St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley on Friday asked Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster to take over the case, saying he did not believe McCulloch could be objective. Koster said Missouri law does not allow it unless McCulloch opts out. McCulloch spokesman Ed Magee said McCulloch has no plans to surrender the case.

Also Friday, the Justice Department confirmed in a statement that FBI agents had conducted several interviews with witnesses as part of a civil-rights investigation into Brown's death. In the days ahead, the agents planned to canvass the neighborhood where the shooting happened, seeking more information, the statement said.

He may have a point�they'll run out of stuff to steal in no time. Screw the honest hard working business owners�.

That's been the attitude of everyone (but the business owners) since this all started.

As always the government class looters, cops, pols, and organizers will all get away with 'theirs'.

As always only private citizens and private property will suffer.
