Full title: Protesters set off explosives, throw bricks after police officer shoots, kills 18-year-old in Missouri
Hundreds of people gathered at a suburban St. Louis gas station early Wednesday morning after a police officer shot and killed an 18-year-old man who had been pointing a 9 mm handgun at the officer, authorities said.
Some protesters among the angry crowd of between 200 and 300 turned violent early Wednesday morning, setting off explosive devices and throwing bricks and rocks, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said at a press conference.
More than 50 police officers, some in riot gear, responded, and video showed officers wrestling with protesters.
Four suspects were arrested on charges of assaulting police officers at the Mobil gas station on Hanley Road in Berkeley, just miles from the site of 18-year-old Michael Brown’s death in Ferguson last August.
“To come there armed with explosive devices is certainly something that is not safe for our community, not safe for our businesses, certainly not safe for our police officers,” Belmar said.

ten percent cannot win against 90 percent
so winning is not the Obama/Holder/Sharpton objective
therefore, the fight, the unrest, the riots themselves must be the objective
which will, obviously, further destabalize America. For what end? To, as so many people say, create “oppportunities” try to impose more dictatorial controls, or?
The public won’t stand for it, so I fail to see what the goal really is...(????)
(I never claimed to be any kind of political genius...I just cringe at the obvious parallel between these events and those the Nazis used in their rise to dictatorial power in Germany in the 1930’s...it is the same playbook....with many of the same or similiar=sounding policies....??????)
Of course these protests are directed. That’s what all the Obamaphones are for.
Police control is too soft. Blacks want to kill cops and bombs, rocks, bottles are dangerous weapons and those who throw them must be arrested and tried as terrorists.
Blacks are allowed to call each other nigga and rob, assault, and murder each other. Its all In The Family.
Crackas stay out of our family biz!
Of course they are, from the White House, through Sharptounge to the streets.
I heard a CNN female anchor ask the mayor if the residents believe what they see in the video.
Stay safe FReepers..we have a long ways to go and much more work needs to be done..enemies all around.
.....”Chicago experienced the most destructive and most deadly riot in the country, with nine people killed and huge areas of the west side leveled by fires. The riot inspired Mayor Richard J. Daley to issue his famous order, “shoot to kill arsonists” and “shoot to maim looters.”
Is this kinda what you have in mind? This was 1968 following the MLK shooting.
At this point I wouldn’t blame the cops if they just started lobbing hand grenades into the crowd.
Actually I’m an equal opportunity shoot to kill kind of guy.
Damn, those rioters (or ghetto shoppers) seem to have “ready reaction forces” ready to jump in and riot at the drop of a thug!
News of all these violent mobs always gets me a little excited because in back of my mind I’m thinking that soon I won’t have nearly so many mouths to feed with my hard-earned taxes.
What does the father of the slain 18-year-old have to say?
“so I fail to see what the goal really is...(????)”
If I had to guess, the first thing that comes to mind is a push to reinstitute affirmative action - only this time as reverse discrimination on steroids. Certain individuals didn’t like AA being abolished and the ‘organizers’ are now using lack of jobs and education as talking points (never mind 50 years of preferential hiring and 50 years of dem-dictated education policy). I can think of no other rational reason unless it’s just smoke and mirrors to cover what’s going on with the border, which was supposed to heat up after the weather cooled down and of which we’ve heard nothing.
I believe you are on the right path.
It could be and is always about more power.
With the UN now nipping at our heels on gun control in the US, it would not be an unlikely scenario to see the UN called in to squelch an uprising.
There is also the plan of the elites of Agenda 21 that still looms over our heads.
Just be glad it’s winter.
If it were summer the cities would be burning....
They are going to make it so those who note the bad cops, and push for them to be prosecuted, start being more lenient in attitude when cops overstep - all part of the plan to nationalize a police force...
That’s true!
