Ferguson Missouri’s “Don’t Shoot Coalition” issues rules for police behavior but not for rioters
Coach is Right ^ | 11/12/14 | Doug Book

The New Black Panther Party, Amnesty International, Sistahs Talkin’ back, CAIR and the Organization for Black Struggle are but a few of the groups which make up the “Don’t Shoot Coalition,” a collection of individuals and organizations which has taken it upon themselves to decide how police and other government officials must respond should demonstrations take place in response to a Grand Jury decision against indicting Officer Darren Wilson for the shooting death of Michael Brown.

Nineteen proposed Rules of Engagement have been released by the Coalition for the purpose of “ ‘…[deescalating violence]’ without tamping down on peaceful protest action.” I have included a link to the Rules below.

But although the “Don’t Shoot Coalition” was quite specific in telling police and government officials which of their methods of handling rioters/protesters would not be permitted, there were no similar restrictions placed on the activities of the demonstrators themselves!

For example, Rule #7 leaves the safety of police to the tender mercies of protesters, many of them professionals shipped in from other areas of the nation. “Police will wear only the attire...

If the police fail to protect the citizens, we the people will do their job.

I still say fire trucks spraying a fine mist into the freezing air would be a great passive aggressive deterrent to any violence.

This is no good, it is like Marquis of Queensbury where only one side has to use boxing gloves.

You know, I got to thinkun’...

I believe the final GJ announcement will NOT bring about too much of the people coming out looking to riot...

It’s getting a little cold outside and that tends to keep people in that area inside...

What is the heck is going on??? Where in the Sam hill do these protesters get off telling us what the rules of behavior and all of that will be??

How about this as a rule-— protesters have the right to peacefully assemble. If they get violent , then they will have chosen to initiate a forceful police response. Its their choice as to whether we see violence and arrests.

Well...

A Powered Exo-Skelton with brass knuckles and a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range would make short work of most situations...

But I digress...;-)

They are punctuation challenged.

It should be:

Don’t! Shoot!

Rules:

1. Rioters will not burn property that is not their own.

2. Rioters will not steal property that is not their own.

3. Rioters will not vandalize property that is not their own.

4. Rioters will not engage in actions that endanger other civilians.

5. Rioters will not engage in actions that endanger the police.

6. Rioters will not engage in actions that inhibit the free use of streets, sidewalks, parks, and other public areas by law-abiding citizens.

7. Excessive forces and other forms of rioter misconduct will not be tolerated.

8. Rioter intimidation of police, of store owners, or of other citizens will not be tolerated.

9. Rioters will be instructed not to engage in any form of lawbreaking, including but not limited to burning, looting, throwing objects at any person or business - to avoid police escalation of force.

10 Rioters will not engage in any violent or disruptive behaviors that would necessitate the use of armored vehicles, rubber bullets, or tear gas.

11. The top two priorities for rioters will be the preservation of innocent human life and the protection of both private property and public property.

Having read the rather silly demands of these thugs, I think my response covers the community need nicely. Thugs don’t make demands in a civil society. Thugs have to understand that the community makes demands on them, and that the police (when serving properly) protect the community from rioters and from thugs like the gentle giant and his equally gentle followers.

Obama’s coalition pals and comrades try to disarm our local police... while Obama himself disarms our border guards...downsizes and cuts defense systems for our military forces...issues suicidal and defeatist “rules of engagement” to assure they’re ineffective and lose everywhere he sends them..........and now Obama is disarming even our border guards...so even more of his IslamoNazi comrade infiltrators can sneak in to our cities, towns, and villages right here inside America!

See:

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/11/12/border-patrol-agents-say-agencys-gun-recall-puts-them-in-danger/

Meanwhile he mis-uses our great USAF and USN to defend the Iranian IslamoNazis while they build up their nuclear bomb strike force and ICBM arsenal ... to attack us, their “Great Satan”

Please nobody tell me he’s stupid or lazy or ineffectual.
He is extremely effective, he is far from stupid, and frankly he’s winning....and we in America are losing, losing in such a way to leave us very very weak and vulnerable

Give the devil credit where its due.. he (and especially those who pull his strings and program the Teleprompter) are far from stupid. Indeed ,they are very clever and yes, audacious...

These people are two stupid to realize the the game is over, and they lost. Go take a seat next to Cindy Sheehan.

If the cops had any sense of the law, they would pass out/post/broadcast a message. “The law is not what you say it is. It is what the law of the land says it is. those are the rules we will follow. Not yours. Break them and go to jail.”
