FERGUSON, Mo. - A day of anger over a fatal police shooting of an unarmed black teen in suburban St. Louis turned to mayhem as people looted businesses, vandalized vehicles and confronted police in riot gear who tried to block access to parts of the city.
Additionally, Laura Hettiger, a reporter for CBS affiliate KMOV-TV, tweeted that the police chief in Ferguson claims he and the St. Louis County Police chief were shot at overnight in a Walmart parking lot.
Police told CBS affiliate KMOV-TV in St. Louis that close to 300 officers responded to the area and two officers suffered injuries throughout the night. St. Louis County Police said at least 19 different departments responded to Ferguson, arresting at least 32 people. According to police, shots were fired at a police helicopter in the area.

Maybe this will be the excuse to declare martial law that Ubama has been praying to Allah for.

If he is black, he is a marked “Uncle Tom” (as if that was so bad).

If people get distraught at a vigil it’s an incident. When you plan the violence, property destruction and looting ahead of time on twitter it’s a riot. I daresay with such planning ahead it could be called an armed insurrection.

Well, they have guns and are shooting at the cops, but still the cops are laying back and not arresting looters...or shooting them.
This is actually a good sign for those of us who have feared "Martial Law" or some other unlawful totalitarian action.
The Rioters would be a piece of cake. And the cops are scared of 'em.
Just imagine how much they fear US.
