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.

Didn’t the governor send the new, good police? The huggers?
Election year anti-white politics, totally despicable, but thank god conservatives and their “leaders” fall into the white guilt navel gazing while their country burns.
Or really: a police officer killed a teenager in self defense after the teen attacked him while leaving an armed robbery. The local community is violently upset about this.
Weren’t there cries to replace the local police department?
Gee, I thought Capt. Johnson,s who would walk with the community protesters had the situation well in hand. Same old liberal bull spit, put a black in charge and the problems will go away. LOL!
Female NYC Police Officers Can’t Make an Arrest, Bystanders Laugh At Them (Video)
This was posted on FR.
This appeared to be a case where the man simply said, "No. You are not going to arrest me." And when he got bored he ran away. The officers did not shoot him. But..
what if he had battered them and attempted to take one or both guns? And the officers managed to get away enough to draw their weapons and shoot?
Well for one thing if the officers did shoot him in the latter case the victim's industry would be celebrating. "Hot damn! Another victim of the man!"
There’s a certain neighborhood in FReeperville where they complain about police doing one thing and the next day they complain about police doing the exact opposite.
The other businesses in the area need to take the hint and get the hell out before they suffer the same fate.
And that was on the store's owner.
I agree.
As far as I am concerned, they can starve, the Government should leave them alone.
having had an extended visit (work) in St. Louis a few years ago, I learned that the St. Louis overall area is made up of something like 100 municipalities, each one with it’s own police and fire department. That being the case it would be difficult for any one of the PD’s being able to mount much of a defense against a large group of anarchists such as they face. Military force (NG)is needed to clear out the area and patrol.
What are we dealing with? District 9?
Yeah, like I couldn’t have seen that happening. If I had been store owner, I would of been ready, locked and loaded for them.
It was surreal to watch it on television — a half a dozen looters going in and out with handfuls of stuff, protesters outside on cellphones to 911 asking them to come and make some arrests, and police cars driving right by as if nothing is happening, reporters and live cameras out front recording it all.
There were a lot of wimps on FR that decried the militarization of the police.
But that’s exactly what they needed last night ... Some guns and some guts.
There is a bureaucratic battle between the Highway Patrol and the County Police and the Ferguson Police over who is in charge while the looters exploit the void.
The Highway Patrol is pi##ed at the Ferguson PC for releasing that tape yesterday without notification as it served no purpose since no charges were to be filed.
The storeowner was pi##ed at the Ferguson PC for releasing it as well and putting him at risk and had to hire an attorney to request additional police protection from the County.
The County Prosecutor is claiming that the Highway Patrol patrolling Ferguson is illegal.
The politicians are all trying to get face time and the people and businesses of Ferguson pay the price.
