FBI Warns Ferguson Decision ‘Will Likely’ Lead To Violence By Extremist Protesters
ABC News ^ | 11-17-2014 | MIKE LEVINE, PIERRE THOMAS, JACK DATE and JACK CLOHERTY

The FBI bulletin expresses concern only over those who would exploit peaceful protests, not the masses of demonstrators who will want to legitimately, lawfully and collectively express their views on the grand jury’s decision.

The bulletin “stresses the importance of remaining aware of the protections afforded to all U.S. persons exercising their First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.”

Within hours of the FBI issuing its bulletin, some police departments across the country issued their own internal memos urging officers to review procedures and protocols for responding to mass demonstrations.

Still, the bulletin’s conclusions were blunt: “The FBI assesses those infiltrating and exploiting otherwise legitimate public demonstrations with the intent to incite and engage in violence could be armed with bladed weapons or firearms, equipped with tactical gear/gas masks, or bulletproof vests to mitigate law enforcement measures.”

...protections afforded to all U.S. persons exercising their First Amendment rights...

And Second Amendment rights.

Well now is time for the FBI and law enforcement to cleanse us of all the violent thugs.

They know where they're at, know where they live and on and on. Like hundreds of thousands of gangsters, they've got them all cataloged in every detail.

In fact if the feds had one ounce of concern for safety, why have they not stopped tens of millions from entering our country illegally?

Well in Seattle possibly in the Martin Luther King area but then am I being racist? Any riot in any city should be laid at the feet of Sharpton and Jackson (although Jackson has been pretty quiet on this so far) .....

Here is a link to a Tumblr page that lists 66 US cities where there are planned protests once the Grand Jury's decision is announced. Is your town on the list?

Yeah, the media will be out there to interview all the outraged people....Endless interviews, woman crying, angry cries, endless outrage....

Show them how racist America is....Never mind any facts, or what Brown did...

We’ll all be called racist, and Obama will get on the podium and pretend to call for calm...When in reality he’s looking for a diversion and smokescreen...

What a show.

The FBI is right on top of it, regarding something we’ve known for months now.

Better stay armed and avoid the inner cities like the ebola infested ghettos that they are.

since the Grand Jury has not made a decision I view all of this as an attempt to intimidate and influence the outcome of a Grand Jury proceeding which should be illegal.

Obama already has the speeches written for him...

“I am pleading for calm and non-violence protests, like MLK called for. We must remain calm in the face of white racism and police brutality in America”!

I can hear it all now.

What the Grand Jury or evidence says will be totally squashed by race barkers.

Have you noticed that ABC did not list one single group of outside agitators and professional rioters (out of at least 30 identified organizations, some phone-booth operations, some organized black extremist and/or communist parties).

About a week ago a writer from Ferguson had his article put on FR in which he not only had photos of the signs and flags of the reds and blacks, but also listed the names of these organizations.

Let’s see how the media totally ignores who the troublemakers are.

The extremists are the ones protesting a cop doing his job! They really think we are all stupid.

Pray America is waking

The department of JustUs is actively working to undermine and subvert the legal system.

America is only now getting an education in exactly what it is that “community organizers” do.

The Great Society has led to the ungrateful society. It also led to an unmanageable society.
