Bingo! They don’t want anyone seeing what might transpire here in the next few hours.

FAA Issues Flight Warning Over FERGUSON, MO – Effective Immediately

Over Ferguson?

No, I don't think I'll ever get over Ferguson.

[servo1969]

I saw someone else suggest this may be a drone training opportunity that shall not be missed.

[greyfoxx39]

WTF is this?

THIS is the Obama administration taking advantage of a chance to fan the flames of the race war...I think it's obvious.

Any inconvenience of air travelers will be blamed on "raaccciissttt! police...remember the "government shutdown"?

[Responsibility2nd]

Some rogue Ukranian solder has an itchy trigger finger.

Malaysian Air flights are especially warned to be careful.

[Servant of the Cross]

Perfect chance to use drones for surveillance.

Winner.

[Uncle Chip]

Are they going to deploy their drones???

[servo1969]

Either they don't want any news helicopters being shot at or they don't want news helicopters getting any unfortunate footage. Maybe a little of both.

[nesnah]

Amish vortex?

[Texas resident]

Dead on.
This gang has the media where they want them and the media will comply.

Wonder who they will go after.

[Jack Hydrazine]

There was another one issued yesterday. Why they need two of them is anyone’s guess.

[Tzimisce]

Here look at these pictures of Syria Gaza St. Louis. Isn't it just awful?

[BCW]

I would look up the effectiveness of IRAM's -- They caused havoc in Iraq and can be built easily...maybe someone built their own homemade surface to air using that insurgent platform...

[Rodamala]

OK, guys... who sold those shoulder-fired rocket launchers to the Amish?

[QBFimi]

>> WTF is this?

Alright - everybody settle down - it’s no big deal. It’s a “TFR” - Temporary Flight Restriction. It’s a temporary 6 nautical mile diameter “no fly zone” over troubled area (Ferguson, MO). It’s to assure that aircraft working the operation don’t have to contend with looky-loos and watermelon bombers.

It’s done every day all over the country, i.e. when His Excellency is doing a $50,000 a plate fund raiser at for Moochelle’s latest wet dream.

[PghBaldy]

I would think Obama is conflicted about this Ferguson issue, as normally he would want a big racial riot, but if it gets too bad, it interferes with his vacation.

[ClayinVA]

it is going to be hot again tonight, the police chief has decided not to release the name of the officer involved due to Officer Safety. That is going to go over real well downtown.
