YOU can help stop looters! Show up TONIGHT in #Ferguson to help Young protesters, antoniofrench, and… LINK


Supposedly, there was a group of adults in the community, that got together and talked about actually being organized tonight to stop the looting, more from a leadership kind of way than a armed to the teeth kind of way, though I'm sure that will be true too.

We'll see tonight.

The Brown family wants the Department of Justice to do an autopsy.

Impossible. Blacks don't care about their community nor do they try to hold each other accountable.

Not much else said other than the midnight. Explained why they didn't move in. Some agree, some disagree. Some woman apparently wouldn't shut up wanting cop charged with murder.

Thought they did their own. Crump leave town after the robbery came out and won't float the bill? Sharpton? Your support doesn't include digging into your pockets? Not sure I follow. I guess they know the DOJ won't adopt a private autopsy and don't want them to adopt the police autopsy either? That would make sense I guess. Especially if they believe their autopsy shows something.

Police did too much,


My whole gripe with how things were handled from the start was the over militarization of police. There is absolutely NO REASON to have armored vehicles on city street and cops carrying military grade hardware

I mean, what the frick did they do prior to having all of these military toys? Oh yeah, they wore a helmet, shield and had a baton.

I better go pick up a few more boxes of popcorn, because there will be at least one individual shot during this.

As I've said before. When your citizens act like terrorists, police have to act like military.

I thought they had their own done upon receiving the body earlier in the week

And what is the Dept of Justice going to do. They can't prosecute him for murder and a civil rights violation charge wouldn't need their own autopsy

See protester on CNN, having to really think about whether she is going to obey the curfew.

She looks smart, she looks educated. What do you think the trash in ferguson going to do, when people like here have to think about whether they want to go to jail or not.

Yepp. I gotta feeling Johnson ain't gonna mess around after midnight.

That gradually reigning in. Gave them their night. Nest night reminded the thugs that they don't own the streets. Tonight, he'll take the streets back.

So all through the 60s/70s/80s/90s when riots took place and local PDs didn't have all of their military hardware, how did they survive and squash the protests

I didn't think they did, where did yall get this from? The way it sounds they asked the DOJ to do it for a second opinion

As it should be, everyone owes the police an apology. Their strategy has led to an active community. Hope it goes well.
