Would've been pretty bad PR for the cops to arrest two girls doing a live feed for no reason.

Read a statement on an index card

That police were shot at a lot tonight, bottles were thrown at them, molitov cocktails ect, and that this is what initiated them to respond with tear gas ect.

He said at around 830-900ish a group of around 100 protesters marched on their command center and threw molotov cocktails and shot at them. He said that plus a large group of people trying to loot a McDonalds were the reasons why that gassed everyone.

Interesting. 6 - all to the front. 4 to the right arm? Sounds defensive. Then only question I have left is were the 2 to the head necessary?

National Guard should have been called in after tonight. Johnson said that wasnt an option at this time. Another event tomorrow like tonight and there is no way that Governor Nixon can avoid calling them up. Missouri has a couple of MP units which may be a good option.

No they were not. Even the four in the arm weren't, even if the cop felt like his life was in danger somehow from an unarmed man... one shot in the arm or the leg would've been sufficiant.

He should. It's a tough job.

This is not a legal opinion. And it wouldn't stand up in court. If you reasonably fear for your life, severe injury or for another person, you can use deadly force.

He seems to be doing a much better job than the people who were in charge of before him at least. If nothing else at least he is doing a better job at keeping the media abreast of the situation as to why they are using the tear gac ect. when they do.

Would those guys rather be serving overseas or in Ferguson? Might be a toss up.

@NataTheScribe: @BryanCraw4D Come on, you’re as cynical as I am….you knew when he went of vacation in the middle of this, he wasn’t coming back
Been seeing this a lot on twitter? My first thought is, Wilson went on vacation? My second thought is no way this happens?

I was giving my opinion, I am not testifying in court currently.
