Violence erupts in Ferguson AGAIN:
DailyMail ^ | 17 August 2014 | David Mccormack for MailOnline

Another night of protests and violence erupted in Ferguson, Missouri, on Sunday evening as tensions remain high following the death of unarmed teenager Michael Brown at the hands of the police on August 9.

The violence began to flare again around 9 p.m. local time as police in riot fear fired teargas on hundreds of protestors - including children - for encroaching on their command post. Authorities also used rubber bullets and several protesters have reported getting hit.

Many of the marchers retreated, but a group of about 100 stood defiantly about two blocks away until getting hit by another volley of tear gas.

Here, by the way, from the NYT story, indicating why your theory that he might have had his arms up does not work:

Some of the shots to his arm went through the limb and entered his chest and lungs, according to Dr. Baden.

This is consistent with point-blank range, and with these shots being fired during a struggle, not with his having his arms in the air.

The Fed's autopsy will actually be the third one. The St. Louis office has released nothing. But Baden's autopsy was paid for by the family, so I think we can infer that they knew at least some of the results and were not happy; private autopsies are not cheap. Baden's autopsy is a devastating blow to the families' likely wrong death lawsuit, and to the media narrative.

i don’t think they were point blank as the autopsy said, there was no powder residue on the body, and they hadn’t yet checked the clothing. i think i read the baden report for this info. not the NYT version. and the entering his chest and arms into his lungs may confirm my theory that his arms were up not at his side but in an attack posture. lunging at the officer. i think the baden one is the a’y that i read. there is still a grouping of the shots in that type of posture.

I imagine the executives of McDonalds will not be rebuilding in that area.

Many McDonalds are frachises, usually owned by members of the immediate community. There is an even chance that the "owner" is black.

what is “Saturday demo”?

Isn't the hip texting generation wonderful?
I know what it means, but refuse to acknowledge illiterate cuteness.

You know, if they put half their energy into setting up and operating a business I am certain that they would be as powerful as they accuse whites of being.

why are these business owners even staying open?

the businesses staying open are the targets of violent looters- how can this be profitable?

I read “demo” to be short for “demonstration”, as in a protest.

I see kids at Wal-Mart, and sometimes it’s hard to tell if there’s a riot going on or it’s just busy

(((
I was in a dollar store in July, and there were two young women there with 3 barefoot children under the age of 5. There was a terrible commotion, as the children were just running wild and loudly demanding various items. One of the little girls, about 3, came running over and belted the inflated balloons that I was looking at.

Chaos reigned as the mother was picking out individual ice cream treats for them from a case by the register. I thought it was odd when I was near the register and heard Woman #2 tell the mother something like, “You can go ahead of me”, as if they did not know each other. It was not until I got into my car that I figured it out that they were probably shop lifting and using the clamor of the kids as cover.

An election is coming up and Dems are losing on the issues. They NEED a distraction.

Still, the voting system is so corrupt I doubt they have much to worry about.

This is Zimmerman/Martin round 2.

Wrong. This is worse. MUCH WORSE. Zimmerman was thought to be a "cracker" and was egged on by Janteal, the cursive reader. Trayvon wanted to "prove hisself" to a woman to a "honkey" that "dissed" him. Trayvon played a stupid game and won a stupid prize.

In this case, he is clearly a threat to society in his strong arm theft, malingering in the road, and most importantly, attacking a KNOWN, armed person that is authorized to keep the peace.....and is armed to do so.

Something in this kids mind was short-circuited and he had a lack of morals that caused his won death, thankfully. Michael Brown will NEVER steal again. He will NEVER attack a police officer. There is no telling how many lives this LEO saved by killing this adult male criminal. Think of all the taxpayer money he saved!? Assaulting a cop and strong armed robbery would have gotten him 20 years.

And now we have a separate witness, not the suspected thief’s buddy and criminal accomplice who says he was running away, agreeing with the cop’s testimony.

Is the body washed during an autopsy, after residue testing?

Exactly that.... and as one resident of Ferguson pointed out (and he was not caucasian) if people don’t vote this is the government they get.
