that’s because holder sent his thugs to incite riots.
“They respect us, referring to police. So lets respect them. Theyve given us the sidewalk so lets stay out of their street. “
Interesting choice of words given that the story is that Brown wanted the street and not the sidewalk.
Nothing left to loot.
Hmmm I guess they don’t count the 3 police officers injured last night or the car jacked victim or the women in the crows shot in the thigh
yea that is peaceful sarc
Thats it then. We just need to pass out juice boxes, energy bars & hugs at the next riot.
Heavy police presence didn’t occur until there was rioting. Civil liberties were respected then, we saw what happened.
It’s ridiculous. Now it’s the police’s fault that people rioted.
“Gone were the SWAT trucks and snipers. Gone were the riot shields and militaristic outfits. Gone was the hostility. And guess what? Gone was the violence.”
BS they had already stole everything they could and destroyed most property. What else was there to do besides move out into other neighborhoods, which could have proven fatal from some more ferals.
bs
the heavy stuff was brought out to quell the looting
the heavy stuff did not precipitate the looting
you must go prepared for the worst contingency
...for some ferals...
Aw, ya think? Eric Holder is supposed to be an even-handed and dispassionate pillar of Justice, doncha know. But since Justice has become Just-Us, the balanced aspect has become a little skewed.
It did not have to be paid agents of the Federal government that showed up. There is a large contingent standing in the wings that KNOW they are safe from indictment and prosecution from Federal authorities, and they can form up at a moment’s notice. Sort of a flash mob, you could say.
The only reason the violence stopped is because they got it out of their system (for the time being.) It had nothing to do with switching agencies in charge. They has already burned down their store and made their point.
I’ve heard both accounts - that protests were peaceful until the heavily armed police showed up - and vice versa - that the heavy armor was just the response to riots.
We may never know which is really the case. Fog of war.
But whatever the case, the change in police tone has definitely helped to de-escalated the whole situation.
Or - it could simply be that the vast majority came to their senses when they found out that Big Mike was a strong-arm robbery thug...
It is hard to measure the the cause and effect of increased police presence on a group of protesters. Can the police incite a riot?
However, when the local PD shoots tear has canisters at reporters who are simply doing their jobs and seized their equipment, it means that it was a Police Riot and the police have no regard for the Constitution.
Sounds like a bit better response than showing up dressed like the army and gassing and arresting the press.

Give me a break. A girl cries in fear at the sight of the police, when she live among violent ghetto thugs and goes to school with them? She must stay drenched in tears then.
Somebody call Awfull Dull's wife at the RED CROSS. She has experience catering thug throwdowns.
