You in post 35 - “It’s a slippery slope about what’s called a protest and what’s called a riot, especially if the gov is doing the defining.”

Words have meaning. Those pictures illustrate “protest” and “riot”. There is no way to confuse the two.

Molotov cocktails were thrown at cops last night

Cops had to use tear gas and smoke bombs

No, the police must protect life and property.

By attacking members of the media, they are not protecting life or property, but rather showing they have no regard for the Constitution.

I'm becoming rather distrustful of government and tactics of liberal rabble rousers. Start with a peaceful conservative anti-invasion (or anything else) protest, get a few provocateurs in there, blame the protestors and bring in the military.

Consider that these protests might have gotten out of hand when the usual loudmouths got involved.

The truth started to emerge, rather than the drive by media's agenda and it does not fit their template.

Olivia ovulates, fornicates. conceives, aborts, tosses the fetus into Dumpster and moves on to the next “Injustice”.
Just like the fickle finger of fate.

I don’t recall the heavy police presence and riot gear in the beginning. Only after the protests turned into riots and buildings were being looted and burned, etc.

When was that? Day 3? Day 4? I’m not excusing it, but it did not cause any rioting.

“Now it’s the WHITE, EUROPEAN, CAUCASIAN, NON-BLACK (multiple choice or all of the above) police’s fault that people rioted.”

******************************

I heard Bob Beckel (yeah, yeah, I know ... ) talking about how surprised he was that the majority of the ELECTED officials were white in a predominantly black community and he thought it was just so unusual.

My question: WHO elected those white guys if the blacks outnumber whites? You know how the ‘reverends’ and ‘community organizers’ can turn out the black vote so you know the blacks went to the polls ... they must have voted the white guys in.

Bob says a lot of stupid “lib” stuff, but this was one takes the prize.

I remember bot in 2009 and 2010, we left the place virtually spotless.

Even when the garbage cans were overfull, there was a perfect cone of garbage over the can.

But, oh yeah, we’re the terrorists.

Yes, words having meaning, as does who writes the words that your read meaning into. However, I had nothing to do with the aforementioned post 35.

That FoxNews facebook post was made yesterday at around 5pm - which would mean the moltov’s were thrown Wednesday night....not last night...it’s night in the video.

Your article was from yesterday too. Referencing Wednesday night events. The situation was turned over to the State Police on Thursday. The Ferguson Police were relieved.

I watched the “media” feed on the internet Wednesday night of the Ferguson riots. Granted it wasn’t the MSM or even local news but some d-bags from an internet source that won’t be mentioned.

Did the cops know these guys were a-hole posers? Nope.

But the fact is, they egged on the cops just as bad as the ferals were doing. When one of them got hit with tear gas and started retching and barfing, I gotta tell you.

I LMAO.

No matter who had been in charge of controlling the protests the first couple of evenings, the riots would have still taken place IMO.

Thats not how I see it. I believe the news media, by their reporting obviously sympathetic to the rioters, are attacking life and property.

I do not expect the rioters to respect the Constitution, but I expect and demand that the police respect and follow the Constitution.

I don’t trust this Patrol Capt. Ronald S. Johnson. He is an appeaser and will ignore the hatred being generated by the Black community. What will he do tonight when the mob erupts tonight?
