County police in riot gear and armored tanks gave way to state troopers walking side-by-side with thousands of protesters as the St. Louis suburb where an unarmed black teen was shot by a city police officer overwhelmingly avoided violence Thursday after nearly a week of unrest and mounting public tension.

live stream is very interesting.
Thanks
And multiple stores being looted.
Are you sure they aren’t *stocking* the liquor stores as conciliatory measures?
Sorry. My mistake on the date in regards to “Liquor store being looted:.” A few nights ago, the Mayor there was saying that out-of-towners were doing the looting. I wonder if there’s some truth to that.
Some rap ‘music’ from Brown:
Thanks for that...some pretty revealing information at the 6 minute mark.
Hank Johnson still wants to impose martial law there, I guess?
Recently read Clayton Moore’s autobio “I Was That Masked Man.” In real life he and Jay Silverheels, “Tonto,” were good friends. Moore was at Silverheel’s death bed shortly before he died.
Tanks? Seriously? SeeBS expects us to believe that these are patrolling the streets? Anyone got actual footage of the "tanks"? (FWIW this is a tank!)-
So glad the New Black Panthers came in to organize a Midnight Baseketball league. It’s for the children.
To think that the people in this nation provide SNAP cards and housing assistance for all these animals is just outrageous.
Was the Mayor inside the stores checking ID's as the looters were dashing in and out with their armfuls? LOL.
Of course he's going to say the looters were outsiders. He's not dumb. Outsiders cannot vote in the next mayoral race. The thugs that live in town and their families can.

He rambled on for several minutes with that patented pontifical look on his face....and if you gave me a million dollars I couldn't tell you what the hell he was talking about.
