Pundits, even at National Review, have been saying that police tactics are the cause of the demonstrations/riots. But the Highway Patrol has taken over and the disorder continues. Maybe the problem is not mainly the police but the rioters.

If the Tea Party went on a rampage - looted and burned down buildings - does anyone think the New York Times would refer to us as ‘protesters’

So much for the air headed narrative that all the looters needed was less police presence and more communication.

Michael Brown, 18, was fatally shot by a police officer last Saturday while walking home from a convenience store with a friend.

Wow. Was it a drive-by shooting? /s

All that's missing is the Skittles and a photo of Brown wen he was 10 years old.

Obama and the libs love this. It takes the media attention off the illegals entering the USA and the innocent being slaughtered in Iraq.

St. Louis County Police as well as other area officers were on scene last night. They were “ordered” by Missouri State Patrol to “STAND DOWN” and not to stop the looters last night. This is the truth and it is all over our local media here.

Wow, at least some of us have the real answers that the rioters are nothing but criminal thugs who incite destruction and will travel all over the US to cause looting. Insane whites but majority blacks. Bring back the heavy armed police and bust heads. Jail hundreds and find out who they are and where they came from. Most could be hired by the far left.

That black guy from CNN was interviewing rioters and sympathizing with them, even with the evidence now that the criminal / robber that got killed was caught on camera stealing cigars and shoving the store owner. Disgraceful that the rioters are getting a pass, just like the illegal alien cockroaches crossing the border are. THIS is Obama’s America and this is what is making Michelle Obama proud to be an American for the first time. Strangely though she is living above the fray but I wonder if she would be saying this if she were rubbing elbows with the rioters on a daily basis.

My how things have changed. I remember when Corpus Christie had the hurricane, in the 50’s. After the hurricane, there were rioting and looting. The Texas governor made this announcement; “BY MORNING, ALL LOOTERS AND RIOTERS WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT”. There were no more looting and rioting.

The Highway Patrol backed off. If I owned the business I’d sue the crap out of the governor and the state for not doing their jobs.

Yeah the blame the police tactics and equipment stuff is just a scapegoat du jour packaged and marketed by liberals to be more appealing to libertarian leaners.

They say militarization of police is the cause, okay then what was the cause of riots in the 60s 70s 80s 90s?

The answer of course is miltariazation hasn't caused any of this. This is about black culture and the way it fosters, encourages and enables violent criminal behavior and the mindset within it of hating the police.

Yep police tactics caused gentle giant Mike Brown to want to steal cigars (To feed his family no doubt)

And police tactics caused him to shove the guy in the store trying to stop him from stealing them. (cause after all this is what everybody does before they go off to college)

And those tactics caused him to walk down the middle of the street

And those tactics caused him of course to attack a police officer-- and try to take his gun and kill him with it-- an officer who was not militarized at all but just doing his job.

The confrontation, the first serious one since the Missouri State Highway Patrol on Thursday assumed responsibility for security operations here, ended at about 4 a.m. when the authorities, prompted by the gradual dispersal of demonstrators, pulled back to their nearby command post.

If my memory of the weather radar is correct, a steady rain began...

“Print, video and photo-journalists were all repeatedly and aggressively threatened and harassed when attempting to photograph or videotape any of the looting or property destruction...”

Funniest bit: “The Washington Post’s Wesley Lowery
[The whiner who pestered the cop ay McDonald’s] reported on Twitter that one looter “just threatened to pull knife” on him and other reporter outside a liquor store that was being cleaned of inventory.”
LOL!

Such crap. These incidents are just excuses for those who know they can get away with looting and mayhem afterwards. They don’t care about justice or peace. They are criminals and nobody has the guts to shoot them on sight, which is what they deserve.
