Yeah for sure!! I am so disgusted as we all should be. I feel like we should be doing something - white people have got to start expressing real outrage over this and I am not seeing it -

And the Ferguson, MO Police department was earlier co-opted by murdering thugs.

I have heard people say but why do they have to loot and turn to violence? I wonder how long you can treat someone like less than a human being before they turn to violence. How much can people take?

I see looting after football games, hockey games, soccer games but then it’s okay. But when black people loot (and I am not condoning looting by anyone), you hear the same ugly comments.

Personally I think the Ferguson County Police Department are to blame for the fiasco in St Louis. Claiming they fear revealing the cop who killed Michael Brown because of death threats, is a tea party cop out plea! Let’s face it, we will all know who he in addition to knowing how mant times he shot the unarmed Michael Brown

Good article. Links provided in the comment section are good, too.

I’m very happy to know that ANONYMOUS is going to be “looking into” this police dept. I bet the police can’t scrub enough to get past them.

After Rodney King you didn’t see pictures of the white kids looting on TV did you? They were out on the street also. I don’t think the Sublime song was a lie…

And after Katrina remember the white people were shown and captioned as scavenging supplies, black people were shown as looting.

So what you are saying, in effect, is that there is now a curfew in force in Ferguson. How do you plan to enforce that?

And I would certainly check the backgrounds of any ‘violent protesters’ to make sure there are no connections back to the police department.

Absolutely I remember.

This is probably making some folks worried.

How’s that going to happen? If there was a “violent protester” in between the violence and the arresting do you think that guy is going to end up getting booked or something?

He’ll vanish somewhere along the line.
