The first night of a state-imposed curfew in Ferguson, Missouri, ended with tear gas and seven arrests, after police dressed in riot gear used armored vehicles to disperse defiant protesters who refused to leave a St. Louis suburb


If so I thought Johnson was the man to fix all of this and not employ such heavy handed tactics.


There was a fringe element that was being unruly. They were handled

Apparently, you can be heavy handed based on your weaponry and uniform. Looks are important.

Only one canister of tear gas was dispersed and it was apparently separate of the big confrontation. Everything was smoke bombs, not tear gas.

Also, it was stated by one of the organizers last night that thugs from Chicago have made their way down and are recruiting people to cause trouble.

And in case you didn't hear, one of the protesters was shot by another protestor.

Not what I would call heavy handed.


Yep.
In most of the world, these thugs would have been shot 6 nights ago. The people who wanted to protest and express their anger were given their chance and most did it in a peaceful manner.
Now the animals want to play their games.

And yet we have reporters/bloggers and community leaders all over the country still whining and playing the victim card about how bad and mean the police are in this situation.

It's the video that's been posted of the guy at the scene saying MB ran towards the officer, but with captions, and shorter.

Hopefully people start to share this and it goes viral.

I really wanna see the spin. Let me guess, it was dubbed over or the person making the comments was a plant.

This tweet and picture pretty much sums up what's considered journalism by activist media.

Those aren't rubber bullets, they are Ebola cannisters. The police are trying to kill all the protestors!

I'd hope that the DA is aware of this tape and looking for the individual who is making those statements.

First character assassination and now tampering with evidence. The police have no shame.

Even Frenchie came out and said that the way the cops handled last night was not heavy handed and at that time, there were no reports of injuries.... However, people watching twitter saw that one of the protestors had shot another.
