You can trust NPR, CNN and anyone you like but I don’t. There’s also Post 14.

You have made that point 3 or 4 times now. I think we get it.

The lights were shining in the faces of the police who were watching the area. Hard to see up a street with a bank of camera lights shining in your eyes.
I can see they felt they had an “officer safety” issue.
So why not have an officer just walk over, explain the situation and tell them they can keep filming - but cut the lights. If they refused they have at ‘um.
They should turn in their uniforms for pink ones.

I have no sympathy for either side.

I don’t have TV. I don’t trust any of them. And video, edited video, is dangerous when it comes from the left.

So, you don’t trust your eyes? Are they defective somehow?
The tape clearly shows a news crew far away from any police activity, setting up, getting gasses, then the police attempt to steal their equipment by first dismantling it. They get caught by the other video crew and confront them.
What part of gassing a TV crew do you support?

Seems they were filming from a verge. A ridge I would understand, or a hill,or a platform, or a sidewalk or a grassy knoll,but it was a verge. ?????? A verge of insanity, or of infamy, maybe on the verge of mayhem; no just a verge. ??

We can’t suspend liberty at the trough of dislike for an organization. I honestly would like to see some Tea Partiers start showing up there, on the side of the protesters. Not in support of their looting or vandalism, but to show against the militarization of police and excessive force.

The protesters were told to stay 30 feet away.At one point someone threw a bottle at the police.The police then said it was no longer a lawful protest and they had to leave.People did not leave and someone threw a Molotov cocktail on the roof of a car wash and the roof went on fire.The press was told to turn off camera's and the police gassed the crowd and started shooting rubber bullets.That what I saw on streaming video.

I was impressed by the gentle handling of the crew’s equipment. Nothing was knocked over or visibly abused. The lights were laid gently on the ground and the camera was tilted downward. Did not seem abusive at all.

Go to
WTOP website. They have a pic up on their main page of a petite white woman holding a child confronting a wall of riot gear equipped cops during daylight. We all know that whatever's going on in MO, thats not it. Someone not on a cell phone mind posting that pic?
To: the_boy_who_got_lost
I am of the minority opinion that the best thing for everyone in the
“Ferguson Quagmire” is for the “Police” to remove themselves from participation for the next 30 days and let the “people” of Ferguson take whatever actions they wish!
Let Eric Holder take charge./s
That would make great TV viewing.

“I dont trust the left, why do you?”
I don’t trust the left or the right, why do you?
If you can’t trust a video shot from wide angle and without interruptions, then I guess you need to go live in a cave and write out your manifesto by candlelight.

That is NOT a lawful order.
