So it sounds like 2 more shot last night, but sounds like only 1 shot by cops. One lady shot in the head but apparently alive. Might have caught a stray bullet during some drive by shooting. 2nd was shot dead by cops when he allegedly pulled a handgun on cops. Don't think I've heard of anymore people shot this morning after the dust settled from last night.

Ferguson, Mo. -- Police in St. Louis County, Missouri say an officer shot and critically wounded a suspect early Wednesday very near Ferguson, the suburb of the city of St. Louis where a fatal weekend police shooting sparked two nights of violent protests, reports CBS St. Louis affiliate KMOV-TV.
The station quotes St. Louis County police spokesman Brian Schellman as saying officers responded to a report of four men wearing ski masks armed with shotguns a block or two east of Ferguson, as well as reports of shots fired in the area.
When they arrived, he says, they found more than two dozen suspects fleeing on foot.
At one point, an officer confronted a suspect who, Schellman says, pulled a handgun on the officer.
"In fear for his life, the officer shot the subject," Schellman continued. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition. The suspect's handgun was recovered at the scene.
Separately, said Schellman, one person was injured in a drive-by shooting in Ferguson early Wednesday.

Zimmerman is the best recent parallel to this situation with all of the racial storylines. How long did it take for his name to be released? I honestly don't remember.
that night. i remember the in-game thread
i think this is a direct reaction to how zimmerman was treated/threatened, though

But do we even know if the cop was white?

I think it was three shot last night. The lady in the drive by, the guy who pointed his gun at the cop, and then another one in Jennings.
I don't know if the one in Jennings is related, but it's very possible.

No info about officer released yet. Will probably be a while.
Anonymous release audio yet?

No but most are saying it isn't an issue of race...its all about police abusing power. I don't buy it.

Then why all the tweets about tearing up white neighborhoods?

My money is on cop being white.
Posted on 8/13/14 at 8:03 am to Thib-a-doe Tiger
because they want police to quit being abusive...makes sense right?

Better than average chance the cop was white according to this thread, but there seems to be a lot of people who think the cop was black

Because this isn't about justice or community anger.
This is about the seething racial hatred that is instilled and fomented in so many of these communities.
It is a victim complex and the target of their hate is the "white man" (it doesn't matter that whites are as varied, [more maybe] than blacks, and 90% don't have any responsibility for the situation they are in.) instead of looking at their own failed and self-destructive communities, many blame some nebulous outside white forces.
It's sad really. Ignorance coupled with irresponsibility and racism and dependence.
I blame LBJ's "great society" for the wholesale emasculation of the black husband and father and the destruction of the black family.

If so many people witnessed the victim with his hands up how come they haven't confirmed what color the cop was?
