The activist group Organization of Black Struggle defended the actions of Tyrone Harris — the man who opened fire upon and was then shot by police officers in Ferguson, Mo. on Sunday night — by shifting the initial blame back upon the police department.
“It was a poor decision to use plain clothes officers in a protest setting,” Kayla Reid, a field organizer for the group, said on Monday. “It made it difficult for people to identify police officers, which is essential to the safety of community members.”
Harris was shot shortly after peaceful protests marking the one-year anniversary of Michael Brown’s death turned violent on Sunday. )
During the ensuing chaos, Harris approached an unmarked police van and opened fire on the vehicle. Officers got out, opened fire and chased after the fleeing Harris. He would eventually turn and fire a second salvo of shots at the officers, at which point he was shot several times.
Please look at the picture at the link. I seriously wonder, if I was a LEO at the scene, if I wouldn't.... no, I had better not say.

Oh yeah, I forgot. It’s OK to shoot regular citizens?!?!?!
Another “peaceful” violent protest.
Shooting an unmarked vehicle is just a sport these days in the Black Ghettos. Nothing to be concerned about. Move on (.org)
Idiots.
America doesn’t have a race problem, it has a black problem.
Do these people have any idea how STUPID they are ?
They are saying that shooting will not take place if someone is in uniform———anyone else is fair game.
Brains seem to be in short supply in Ferguson.
.
She really means "Yes, we want them in their uniforms so we know who to shoot at."
Correct, but our “leaders” are too cowardly to say it.
At this point black shooting black is OK with me. If that is what they want who am I to disagree. But if that is not OK then maybe its time to support more police taking out the rioters the hard way, with clubs and cuffs. And shoot if necessary.
Perhaps Ferguson should police itself. Just as long as nobody can enter or leave.
Could have been just some CCW citizens.
Hopefully the perp is dead?
I hope this SOB dies in hospital. Heard he was critical.

“”“It made it difficult for people to identify police officers, which is essential to the safety of community members.”””
How about treating EVERYONE with respect and courtesy?
These Commie maggots were tweeting last night about looting stores and robbing people at McDonalds..it was NEVER about black lives matter, black lives don’t matter to those morons, its all about getting free stuff..they couldn’t ID Michael Brown in a picture lineup if their lives depended on it
No no, I am going to put up a website: Black Names Matter.
I gots me a Deshontay, a Shamickwa and a Shamiqua, ‘course there’s old L-A (Ledasha), but I’m needing a Leyandriea and a Homeralius to put me on the map, web-wise.
