FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — Anger spurred by the death of a black teenager at the hands of white police officer boiled over when protesters stormed into a Missouri convenience store — the same store that Michael Brown was accused of robbing.

Police and about 200 protesters clashed again in Ferguson, Missouri late Friday after another tense day in the St. Louis suburb, a day that included authorities identifying the officer who fatally shot Brown on Aug. 9.

About midnight, protesters broke into that store and threw objects at police. Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson says police used one canister of tear gas.

“Police and Protestors Clash”, makes it sound like the protestors are just there trying to get their voices heard, no looting or burning down of stuff, and the cops are there just wanting to stir up trouble

When the Chinese got tired of the Tiananmen Square Protesters, they removed the local army troops and replaced them with troops from out of town who didn’t know any of the protesters. The local sheriff’s department has been replaced by the State Police and Federal forces(whatever that means...) All Governor Nixon has to do is replace the State Police captain in charge for not doing his job and this will make Kent State look like a sock hop.

The store in the news today is being looted right now and there are no police, county or city or state around — even though people outside have called them.

City police and and county police are being told to stand down as the looting takes place — no one knows who is doing the telling and the looting is being down by a small group of outsiders.

And as the first night it’s not a big crowd doing the looting but looters going in and out one at a time with handfuls of stuff.

Reporters and residents are outside saying WTF are the authorities —

Highway patrol stationed a quarter mile away are standing around while this happens and doing nothing.

And then the thieves hit the liquor store. Sure looks like the touchy/feely attitude of the state police Capt. Ron Johnson failed, but the Democrat media will never admit it.

Some people don’t deserve stores in their neighborhoods. These gangsta hatcheries should be fenced, and the government should air drop food to them.

If these people want to burn down or loot their neighborhoods, go ahead. Don’t help them anymore. These are the same people that don’t like to snitch on their bro’s. Guns, drugs, baby daddies/baby mommies, prison, high rates of abortion, government handouts, no marriage, no God, and (c)rap music. What an ugly way to live. Begone, I say.

They just interviewed the owner of Sam’s Market who showed up with a few friends with AKs to protect their property.

The looting began after the protests ended and was carried out by thugs from St Louis and East St Louis — all from outside the area.

The Highway Patrol apparently told the County and Ferguson police to stand down but no one told the storeowners who had to show up to protect their property after 4 hours of looting.

A dozen officers could have arrested these looters immediately and stopped this right away but no one showed up.

County Police apparently stood guard in front of the store earlier in the evening but were told by the Highway Patrol to stand down and that’s when the looting began — almost immediately.

Me too. If I were them, I’d get the heck out of there. I wouldn’t care if I had to live in the woods. Those are neighborhoods filled with demons.

...”protesters broke into that store and threw objects at police”.....

Then they wonder why business and industry won’t open in their areas.

Detroit journalist Charlie LeDuff is in Ferguson. He’s a white guy who walks the worst streets of Detroit without fear and says Ferguson is downright scary. He’s basically warning whites to stay away or someone is going to die.
