Ferguson erupts after officer not charged in teen's shooting

A Missouri grand jury's decision not to indict a white police officer on any charges in the fatal August shooting of an unarmed black teenager unleashed a wave of violent protests Monday night similar to what engulfed the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson in August.

Angry crowds took to the streets around the Ferguson, Missouri, police department after the grand jury determined there was no probable cause to charge officer Darren Wilson with any crime for the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown. The incident highlighted longstanding racial tensions in the predominantly black city, which has a white-dominated power structure.

"They determined that no probable cause exists to file any charge against officer Wilson," St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch told reporters in Clayton, Missouri, the St. Louis suburb where the grand jury met....

Does it have a "white-dominated power structure" because minorities are not allowed to vote? Of course not.

It has a white dominated power structure because a black dominated power structure would be corrupt, evil, and vile. Always is that way. Why is that? Can someone answer that question? Could black people be the “nephilim” the Bible speaks of?

Reuters has a white-dominated power structure; they sure can’t talk.

They were just salivating at the chance to use the word “erupts” in the headline, too. Now go send your reporters there to get rocks thrown at them!

The police are being idiots by merely using teargas and flashbangs. They should be using napalm and gatling guns to rid the streets of vermin, instead; if the reporters are inciting violence, be sure to kill them as well. They need to put this problem to rest for good.

s/ Heaven forbid a feral die, but it’s okay if innocent business owners get looted and murdered! /s

I heard that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton went into the Ferguson Sears today. They complained that the washing machines were overwhelmingly white. The manager of the Sears said “That’s OK because if you open them up you will see that the agitators are all black”

this is an extension of the Occupy ‘movement’. the same sorts of self described ‘oppressed’ have usurped the opportunity to misbehave.

There has long seemed to be a curse over Africa, but it doesn’t have anything to do with Nephilim who all got drowned in the Flood. Voodoo, witchcraft, and hate go together like a horse team and carriage. It wouldn’t matter if they looked like green Martians, the result would be the same. This made it particularly easy for slave traders, they’d just pull up their ships and ask what tribe the folks living near the shore hated the guts of, then said lucky you, we will take them off your hands.

Why is all the looting and burning occurring in Fergadishu?!? The police and state troopers under the genius leadership of Mo. Gov. Nixon claimed they were totally prepared to protect the citizens and property against violence and rioters.

Okay, but even in civilized countries black culture the majority act like savages.

Which invalidates your explanation...it could be argued.

I must confess that I haven’t read through all these threads, so this point may have been brought up, but does anyone know why they waited until 8PM local time to release the Grand Jury report? It would seem that 8AM may have been a better choice. Daylight and some of these folks at work may have thinned the crowd to a point that the police could have kept control. Any ideas?

It is what it is but yea, it seems foolish to have done this at night so the perps can operate under cover of darkness.

That said, daylight did not deter a lot of riots in the 60s and 70s.

Rueters continues to report incorrectly that officer Wilson did not know about the convenience store robbery. Tonight the prosecutor stated that Officer Wilson did hear the call on the radio and actually called for back-up before engaging the suspect.
