Ferguson Protesters Release List of Demands to Police; “Police Will Be… Tolerant of Lawbreaking”
Pundit Press ^ | 11/6/14 | Aurelius

Posted on 11/06/2014 12:03:28 PM PST by therightliveswithus

Ferguson protest leaders released a list of “Rules of Engagement” for protests that they expect will arise when the Grand Jury releases its decision on Darren Wilson.

Though the document is called “Rules of Engagement,” it is more akin to a list of demands that the protesters expect the police to follow.

Here are some of the most important demands that protesters wrote:

3. Police will give protesters 48 hour advance notice before grand jury decision is announced...

7. Police will wear only the attire minimally required for their safety…

8. Crowd control equipment such as armored vehicles, rubber bullets, rifles and tear gas will not be used...

10. Every attempt will be made to pinpoint arrests so that only individual lawbreakers will be arrested. “Kettling” and mass arrests will not be used...

14. Strategically, police commanders will allow protests to take and occupy larger and more disruptive spaces than would normally be tolerated…

15. Police will be instructed to be tolerant of more minor lawbreaking… when deciding whether to escalate the use of force.

Build a fake city a ways outside of the real city. Then when they riot and tear it up, you can go in and round them up without there being any damage to the real city.

It worked in Blazing Saddles.

Well...how about Attorney General Eric Holder, President Obama, and Obama’s sons (if he had any) fly to Ferguson, Missouri to appeal for calm?

That’s not going to happen. The “protesters” need the police to protect them.

When I was a little girl in Poland, we all had ponies. My sister had pony, my cousin had pony. So, what’s wrong with that?

You always want to arrest “a group” .. why: because somebody in the group will give up the leader of the group.

Same thing happens in a robbery; Police arrest everybody connected with the crime. Then, they can sort out who did what and who will tell the truth about what happened.

Basic police policy.

These people want the police to be vulnerable and available in case the group decides they want to attack the police.

If this police force caves to these people .. they might as well put down their weapons and just drive away.
