At least the rain will keep the fires at bay.

If schools are already announcing closures then I think the outcome is pretty certain.

I will be exercising restraint.

I’ll be getting some range time prior to the grand jury announcement, but only in moderation. I will continue to strike a balance between proficiency and ammo supply - until my next order comes in, I have to keep it to 100 rounds a day (plus dry fire, of course).

I can’t even grasp what they are doing anymore. It is mind boggling what this Administration is getting away with.

The 48 hour “notice” would never be non-public.
Rumor has it the “protestors” have negotiated an actual “rules of engagement”.

He wants the thugs to have their own black Friday shopping.

REally funny.

Where’s that ass hat been since September, hiding under a rock? Restraint should have been called for since day one instead of he and odumbo fanning the flames of destruction. Now that things look to be getting dicey, he’s afraid some of his people will bite the dust like Little Mikey Brown. You’re a little late bone head.

The fight that Ron Hosko has just taken on — and taken to the highest levels of the federal government — is against his former boss. In a scathing letter written to President Obama and obtained by investigative reporter Katie Pavlich at townhall.com, Hosko accuses Eric Holder of polluting the Department of Justice with a highly politicized atmosphere and agenda.

Hosko also charges Obama’s Attorney General with bringing a clear prejudice to his office, promoting an aggressive antagonism toward the law enforcement community.

As an example of Holder’s divisive and dangerous antagonism, Hosko cites the racially charged tensions in Ferguson, Missouri, where Holder personally injected himself into the conflict and the controversy between protestors and police.

The Ferguson school closure article includes some interesting bits regarding organized Chicago protesters:

On Thursday, Anderson said a group of adults claiming to be from Chicago were passing out literature to students as they walked home along Cozens Avenue. The street has an elementary school, the junior high and high school.

The fliers were "encouraging students to be disruptive and encouraging them to think of police as pigs," Anderson said. "That was disturbing."

Anderson notified other school districts in north St. Louis County about the fliers. A scanned copy urges people "to pour into the streets immediately" after the announcement comes. It also says "Students should walk out of school when they hear another murdering pig has gone free."

1:43 EST, Reuters says grand jury still in session, and "[a]lthough no date or time for the announcement of its decision was known, the prosecutor's office said it had started to organize a news conference."

"Holder said the Justice Department was providing new guidance to law enforcement authorities about how to approach maintaining public safety while safeguarding the free speech rights of protesters.

"The Justice Department encourages law enforcement officials, in every jurisdiction, to work with the communities they serve to minimize needless confrontation," Holder said in a video address released by the department.

Holder also sent a message to protesters that "the most successful and enduring movements for change are those that adhere to non-aggression and non-violence." Ron Davis, the top official in a Justice Department office advising Ferguson authorities on crowd response, told Reuters the department has been pressing local police not to use the heavy-handed tactics that spurred anger in August. Local police used military vehicles and riot gear to deal with some protesters in August."

Contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

I lot of schools have resource officers. This puts them at risk.

watching the news conference now- talking about the “rules” of engagement... say they do not know when the GJ will announce. A lot of speculation on twitter, but no-one really knows for sure.
