FERGUSON, Mo. - A day of anger over a fatal police shooting of an unarmed black teen in suburban St. Louis turned to mayhem as people looted businesses, vandalized vehicles and confronted police in riot gear who tried to block access to parts of the city.

Additionally, Laura Hettiger, a reporter for CBS affiliate KMOV-TV, tweeted that the police chief in Ferguson claims he and the St. Louis County Police chief were shot at overnight in a Walmart parking lot.

Police told CBS affiliate KMOV-TV in St. Louis that close to 300 officers responded to the area and two officers suffered injuries throughout the night. St. Louis County Police said at least 19 different departments responded to Ferguson, arresting at least 32 people. According to police, shots were fired at a police helicopter in the area.

Or do you think the officer involved is also black because they have not released his/her name or image?.

I didn’t think it was a big secret.

One of the ‘witnesses’ said during an interview that the cop was white.

I guess it depends on whether we can believe these ‘witnesses’, but I’m pretty sure it’s true.

The ‘teens’ would have gotten out of the way if there was a black officer in the police car and none of this would have happened.

“Just imagine how much they fear US.”

I sure hope so. Aim small, miss small.

Sad that it has to come to this...

Did you hear it locally? because I have yet to hear anything from the national outlets about the race of the cop.

Don’t have confirmation of this, I think it was on Twitter and listed on a thread here on FR, but it said that there was a lot of unusual traffic coming into town before the riots. I.E. Gang members from out of town.

Is there any other segment of society, any ethnic group or voter block that sees an aggrieved condition as reason for mayhem, violence, robbery, arson, destruction of property, commission of assaults and maybe worse?

That’s where you are wrong. What the cops are afraid of, is the Racist label that they know everyone from the media to His Heinous Obama will fling at them and cost them their jobs and perhaps jail time if they actually treated them like the vermin they are.

However, I guarantee you - these same ‘fraidy cat cops’ - will have no qualms, problems or hesitations to go Waco all over White Conservative Patriots if given the order and the chance. That would be because everyone from the media, to his Heinous Obama will applaud them and castigate those they waste as ‘domestic terrorists’ deserving of their fate at the hands of the jackboots.
