Tampa is totally leftist and weird. That whole area (Tampa St Pete) is controlled by Scientologists, which adds a whole nother level of weirdness.
One of the complaints agains the Ferguson police was that they left Michael Brown’s body on the ground too longa form of disrespect for the ‘Gentle Giant’. If the police respond, they are racist, if they don’t respond, they are racist.
"It's an ambush. I have no other way to describe it, Duggan said. When there are that many people out there and clearly no one had been shot. It was just a set up to get the cops there."
Reminds me of a scene out of “Blackhawk Down”.
Shades of Nam ...... it works!
A close relative LEO in a large metroplex mentioned this exact scenario to me a week ago as one of his and MANY of his co-workers fears thanks to media’s portrayal.
Did you think the violent protests were over? not by a long shot. The hate-America crowd hates cops too. This cannot end well. The country is sliding into anarchy and chaos, an ideal situation in which to topple our form of government.
Right? And yet them people left garbage on the ground all over Ferguson as a "tribute" to him.
Damn, something similar happened here in Charlotte over the weekend. 400+ people at a “block party,” rounds start flying, 100+ shots into the crowd by one estimate...two dead, 12 injured. CMPD rolls in and while no officers were hurt, things got a little rowdy apparently.
BTW, out of those 400+ people, apparently exactly ONE of them has provided any information to the police. I guess those two Black Lives Don’t Matter.

Blacks don’t like cops? Don’t give them any.
Far worse in the 60s and 70s.
It helped us get Reagan.
Any driver who touched the pile of trash was taking his life in his hands. The city was finally able to get rid of it by installing a memorial plaque in the grass by the sidewalk.
Exactly. I believe they have authority to do that, and they should.
One person was arrested.
I’ve been to Ybor City several times over the last 10-15 years. Was there mostly during the day. Saw some historical sites, ate at the Columbia restaurant, bought some cigars, etc.
Liked the place. I knew it was a nightclub place in the evening but didn’t know that it got kinda iffy there after 1AM. I’d have thought because of tourists and clubbers that the police would have good coverage through that area.
Exactly. Mogadishu, USA.
Give them a whiff of the Grape.
Technology has given us multiple relatively newer methods of crowd control. Sound can be used to create great discomfort without damage with this technology dating back to the early 60’s.
