Lynch Mob Mayhem in Ferguson
Canada Free Press ^ | 03/13/15 | Arnold Ahlert

Two police officers shot — and a manhunt is underway.

Shortly after midnight Thursday morning, two police officers were shot in front of the Ferguson Police Department. A 41-year -old officer from the St. Louis Police Department was shot in the shoulder, with the bullet exiting through his back. A 32-year-old officer officer from the Webster Groves Police Department was shot just below the right eye with the bullet lodging in his ear. “We could have buried two police officers next week over this,” said St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar.

Police believe the shots came from a handgun fired from approximately 120 yards away, and based on the trajectory of the bullets, it appears the shots were intentionally aimed at the officers. They were part of a 25-man police line at set up at the Ferguson PD headquarters to deal with the latest protest, convened to celebrate Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson’s resignation from the force, and to call for Mayor James Knowles III to follow suit. Jackson will receive nearly $96,000 in annual salary and health coverage following his resignation on Mar. 19. Lt. Col. Al Eickhoff will take over as acting chief until the city completes a nationwide search for a new police chief, the city said in a news release.

And while the protests were winding down for the night, shots suddenly rang out. “We heard, like, a firework‚ it was loud,” said journalist Bradley Rayford. “You couldn’t even see where it was coming from, but you saw the muzzle” flash from up the hill. The bullets went right past my head.”

Depends on their motive. Shoot a few and run like hell is what to do if you can’t handle a pitched battle.

We’ve been told the shooter used a handgun caliber, we haven’t been told he used a handgun.

They should be looking a the lawyers of the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ. They have provided cover and assisted the Soros funded hated groups from the get go in Ferguson.

“Shot by a handgun from 120 yards away? What?”

Mrs. Evelyn Mulwray got her brains blown out at about that distance with a snubnose .38, but that was Chinatown....;)

Wait for the medical report to say what kind of bullets were used.
I’ll bet they were from a .22 rifle.

What do these stray dogs hope to accomplish by doing this? What are their demands? Do they want to lynch someone?

My 1911 will reliably put rounds in a 5 gallon bucket at 100+ yards (operator twitches account for most error) and my .357 with 6" barrel will do better.

You actually believe a .357 or .45 auto would hit a person below the eye and lodge under the ear, like the cops injury at that distance?

Nope - just exhibiting first-hand knowledge that hand guns can be used to some effect at greater distances than many might think.
