re: Journalists arrested and assaulted by cops in Ferguson without cause

So you admit there have been more peaceful protests than protests that were meant to cause trouble.

Never said otherwise

So that would mean a majority of them have been peaceful

Sure. Of course they didn't say the 'majority', they said largely which infers "to a great extent; on the whole", but hey who actually wants to use words as they are defined.

The reports of riots nightly and even Obama calling for a more calm and measured response is because nothing negative is going down - it is 'largely' just wonderful. Not sure why people keep talking about riots and stuff.

Yup, showing that you have no intent on looking at the situation objectively

yes I learned from a guy who would use the impression thug to describe a police officer that politely asked a douche to step outside. Nothing screamed objective like that! Everyone has their slants - I happen to not like rioters and people that use everything to fit a political agenda, race bait etc. That is what happens every time in this incidents. It is a weakness of mine. You seem to hate police. C'est la vie.

I am just happy these articles of several riots in a row nightly aren't really a big deal in anyway or form and it is questionable whether they exist. It makes me feel better. Now if the cops would just leave this poor people and Quik Trip alone - we would be all the better.

Didn't they learn from arresting OJ?

That is my issue... If people are rioting and causing trouble, then action needs to be taken. But when people are peacefully protesting and you show up with armored vehicles to try to move them, instead of having civil discussions with the leaders of the groups, you are asking for trouble.

As I said last night. The para military officers threw their dicks on the tables way too early yesterday and all it did was ramp things up and bring out the thugs.

Is there anyone (outside of law enforcement people themselves) who thinks America is a better place for having local, state, and federal police walking around in military clothing with true "assault rifles"? Riding around in armored vehicles anytime the citizenry raises a stink about anything? Basically treating America as a battlefield?

WHO thinks that's a good idea? Who would vote for it if it were put to the vote?

We are idly watching the country being changed in a way that virtually nobody thinks is a good idea.

I'd agree with you if there weren't already provacateurs like the New Black Panthers ginning up problems out there

There was not a single sign of any thugs or panthers being in the crowd that started the bs last night. In fact, you see a few older cops standing next to the protestors and having civil conversations with them

They were sitting in the street and the military vehicles roll up and tell them to go the frick home while pointing weapons at the protesters.

You first see the thugs come out about 4hrs after the shite starts and those are the ones that throw shite.

1. The cop is asking him to leave the building.... The reporter was dicking around and intentionally trying to get on his nerves.

Filming paramilitary cops is all you have to do to get on their nerves.

2. It's a riot situation, I would expect him to be dressed that way. It's not as if he's driving a tank...

---

Really? There was a riot in progress?

quote:

3. Who knows why this was happening, but that's an argument we should have with this cops boss. What if a Molotov cocktail had come through the window while dickless was trying to get on that cops nerves?

---

You seem to think you know what's going on.

quote:

I'd agree with you if there weren't already provacateurs like the New Black Panthers ginning up problems out there. The FBI already confirmed that they were there and what activities they were doing.

---

So what? That's all it takes for you to be ok with paramilitary descending on American towns? We're giving up our freedom because of the goddamn Black Panthers?

Heaven forbid a Muslim ever kill a few people in one of our cities. Who knows what the police would do then? Oh wait...

And that is the issue. The LEOs show up to the sheep with their para military equipment and throw their dicks on the table. That escalates things and eventually is like blood to sharks for the thugs who want to cause trouble.

---

is it not common practice for police to have increased presence with all organized protests, even peaceful ones?

LEOs were in the wrong and I'm on the reporters side.

But pardon me if I do some eye rolling at these guys complaining about the travesty of being in jail for an hour while their publications think it's not worrisome that a huge government agency targeted organizations for political purposes.

trying to create a story about the cops from one tactical guy following orders and reacting to shite talking would be like making a statement about black people by having the amazing racist go into the protest and mocking black people, then filming the response of black people

---

Yeah this ONE cop reacted like this when someone talked shite to him, but this doesn't represent how cops act at all.
Totally isolated incident.

Hell no.. I have said multiple time that I think he looters and rioters need to be dealt with accordingly.

Ok so this covers night one.

What about night two, three, four etc....? There was activity all those nights too. At what point is that on the cops and not the rioters?

You mention yesterday they came out four hours after the police showed up in armed vehicles. Cant someone else say they came out at around the exact same time they have for every single night since Saturday?

That is why I am asking when you think the rioting became the result of the police?
