Or maybe because they found out that Brown was a thug and thief and just maybe could have attacked a police officer.
Just light some bales of marijuana on fire in the town square and all demonstrations will stop immediately and they’ll all gather together peacefully in one place...: )
Next up is Los Angeles on Sunday. Protest scheduled for similar incident that took place in Ferguson.

New Tack on Unrest Eases Tension in Missouri

All was fine and peaceful until about midnight when looters came out of the crowd and broke into the convenience store in the news today.
Protesters outside tried to stop them but to no avail.
So they called police to come in and arrest them but no one showed up.
County police cars drove by and people tried to wave them down but no police showed up.
When a reporter finally got through to the County they said that they were told to stand down because the Highway Patrol is in charge.
A quarter mile down the street is the Highway Patrol staging area with officers standing around doing nothing while looters have their way.
Seen this pic of MO Highway Patrol Captain who is now in charge of Ferguson?
He’s got his gun drawn on motorcycle riders. Apparently they are more of a menace to society than looters!
Thanks to Syncro for finding that pic!
Wishful thinking headline is wishful thinking.
We now know there was more looting last night. Anyone who thought that turning over policing to the MO Highway Patrol was going to magically stop the criminal element needs to be removed from any position of responsibility.
guess we have to change that headline now!
