This looks pretty bad for the police. Can anyone say police state?

Normally, I tend to believe the police first, but the Ferguson clowns appear to be ripe for work for your nearest liberal gubmit.

Personally I’m horrified that those “protecting us” don’t want their actions to be recorded.

So much for freedom of the press in this country.

This looks like a war zone — I would like to hear the reasoning behind the swat teams actions.

they weren’t dismantling the gear, they doused the lights by facing them downward, and they re-positioned the camera. they didn’t seem to take anything apart, or break anything down as if for transport.

that said, they probably should have kept their hands off in the first place.

Yeah, but the irony of al jezzera complaining about freedom of the press is rich.

The tape is on a leftist site and it’s been edited. Be careful as the left plays games.

Some ret. Military guy now told Rush that local reports said the reporters were ‘camping out for hours’ in McDonald’s. Management had them kicked out.

Now, do you really think that the framers of the Constitution intended to grant al Jazeera First Amendment protections?

I'm critical of the police militarizing their departments, leaning too heavily on SWAT tactics and shooting dogs.

But I cannot get outraged at the police for getting tough with looters and rioters wantonly destroying private property.

Al Jazeera America (AJAM) is an American basic cable and satellite news television channel that is owned by the Qatar-royal family's Al Jazeera Media Network. The channel, which was launched on August 20, 2013, directly competes with CNN, HLN, MSNBC, Fox News Channel, and in certain markets, RT America...

Al Jazeera Investigative Unit[edit]

Formed in 2010, in its own words: the role of Al Jazeera Investigations is not to report the news, but to make the news.

The Unit, also known as 'the Investigations Team' or, simply, 'Al Jazeera Investigations' is headquartered at the Network headquarters in Doha, but also has representation in London, Washington, DC and San Francisco, the last two the base of the Al Jazeera America branch...

Seems they were filming from a verge. A ridge I would understand, or a hill,or a platform, or a sidewalk or a grassy knoll,but it was a verge. ?????? A verge of insanity, or of infamy, maybe on the verge of mayhem; no just a verge. ??

I am of the minority opinion that the best thing for everyone in the
“Ferguson Quagmire” is for the “Police” to remove themselves from participation for the next 30 days and let the “people” of Ferguson take whatever actions they wish!


Let Eric Holder take charge./s
That would make great TV viewing.
