FERGUSON, MO The FBI on Monday launched a civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a police officer, an incident that has set off days of unrest in this St. Louis suburb and pushed the question of racial fairness again to the forefront of American life.
Michael Brown, a college-bound 18-year-old, was shot and killed Saturday in this small, predominantly African American city after an apparent confrontation with police officers. His death immediately inspired both solemn vigils and angry protests, which in recent days have left some stores looted, buildings burned and shattered glass in the streets. At least 32 people have been arrested for looting.
Demonstrations showed no sign of abating Monday.
He was a good boy. He didnt deserve none of this. None of it, said Browns father, Michael Brown Sr., who was one of more than two dozen friends and family members at an afternoon news conference at the Jennings Mason Temple church near St. Louis. We need justice for our son.(continued)

Tear gas being shot there right now:
i believe all black parents today believe a different definition of a “good child” is compared against what the rest of society considers a good kid to be.
George Zimmerman’s Fault.
It’ll be worse tonight.
Police scanner:
“Advise all officers they are receiving shots fired north of staging”
Eric the red and king Zero have just made things worse. But that was the plan anyway.

Taking gunfire @ Himont and W Florissant - about 1 mi north of QT
Still have not seen squat about the actual circumstances of the shooting. Good shoot? Thugcop execution? Why are the facts being hidden?!
“At least 32 people have been arrested for looting.”
Should read as “shot for looting”.
Thoroughly impartial, of course.
As impartial as the cops (even another department) investigating themselves.
Church-burners to investigate dog-shooters —nice.
The city should go on lockdown, curfew declared. State and county LEOs mobilized.
I have a solution, but I fear many won't find it politically correct.
OMG, now the government is involved.
Now we’ll never get the truth.
“He was a good boy” is boilerplate talking points. How many arrests/convictions has he had to date?
Here’s the local news.

Apparently agitators are telling the ‘yuts’ to travel outside the black areas.
Cosmic Slop, Space Traders.. movie discusses a similar scenario.
Will the feds also investigate the rioters and looters?
“Why are the facts being hidden?!”
So that Official Reality can be applied as broadly as is possible. Remember with Treyvon M, the story was that Zimmerman followed him? And he was white. That was heard coming from many people even when most of us had learned it was not true.
So some official version is being taught so that we get maximum violence from people acting on agitprop. Facts and logic won’t give you the crowd control they need to make things pop.
