NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) - Demonstrators gathered rallied in Manhattan Thursday evening to protest the shooting death of a Missouri teen.

A police officer in Ferguson, a suburb of St. Louis, shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old. Rallies in that community turned tense and violent and heavily armed police officers clashed with protestors.

Big surprise, East Coast commies trying to drum up racism and division in America’s heartland. Different century, same script.

Now that everyone is on welfare or receiving “disability” checks, we’ve got too many ***holes in this country with too much free time on their hands. I thought Pelosi told them to write poetry, learn to play the guitar or paint pictures of apples and bananas. I guess that didn’t work out.

These are Commies from revcom.us

They have found something to rally the useful idiots around.

They are trying to provoke a violent police response.

This could get really ugly.

The poison fruit of Obama’s endless divide and demonize strategy. The Left wants the country to be in turmoil and pitted against itself; but they had better be careful. Once widespread civil unrest breaks out, it is not controllable and will consume them, too.

The Ferguson Incident

From the limited amount of evidence and testimony currently available to the public, it’s nearly impossible to come to a complete understanding of how and why this Ferguson, Mo shooting took place, but let’s look at what we do know.

1. There was a physical altercation inside the patrol car.
2. This altercation could only have been initiated by Michael Brown by his entering the patrol car.
3. What possible motive could Michael Brown have had for entering the patrol car and attacking the police officer?

To answer my question, I believe what we have here is an instance of the “Knockout Game” gone wrong. Michael Brown saw an opportunity to knock out a policeman and run and he took it. He also knew the police officer wouldn’t shoot him as he ran away, because the police officer could only shoot if his life was threatened, and as he was running away he no longer posed a threat to the police officer’s life.

Since the beginning of this “Knock Out” fad, I’ve been expecting one of these thugs to strike an armed man and I think it’s just happened. I just never expected the first armed “Knock Out” victim to be a uniformed police officer.

If you carry and you become a “Knock Out” victim, assuming you’re not knocked completely out, every fiber of your body will be screaming at you to put a .45 slug between the thug’s shoulder blades as he runs away, but you better not do it. If you shoot him, you’ll be charged with murder, so just spit your teeth out and go on about your business.

If the witnesses can be believed in this Ferguson shooting, the police officer in his dazed state after being struck, shot the thug as he ran away, and this was a gift from Heaven for the Democrats. They’ll ride this one for all it’s worth to rally their base through the November election.

Officers setting up orange netting to corral protestors on the sidewalk. Officers now control the street. Horses brought in. Handing out zipties. Crowd surrounded on 4 sides. Cardboard boxes of zipties.

Crowd chanting, are we being detained or are we free to go?

someone leading chant, we are here today because of....(fill in the blank)

chanting continues.

This is a peaceful protest. And this is how you treat. Those who stand up. Are we being detained. Or are we free to go?

now a chant of ‘let us go!’

live feeder ‘preparing for arrest’ and getting paranoid

Officer announcing now that they will let everyone go but in small groups.

I will give the NYCPD a hand for knowing how to handle a crowd.

Excellent job herding them like cattle.

and Occupy

live feeder is saying Jason [nobody] and a Greg [nobody] from Occupy were arrested and someone else in the crowd is leading a chant to spread the word.

They are playing ‘telephone’ and using chants to get messages through the crowd

There is no doubt in my mind that Brown instigated whatever happened. Are the witnesses telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Hell-to-the-no. Did the officer over-react? Maybe he did, maybe even probably, but we haven’t heard his story and I think every person deserves to be able to tell their side without worry about being lynched by a mob.

But you’re exactly right this is playing into Zero’s plan - wasn’t there an article a bit ago where Dems were lamenting that Zero could only serve two terms?

There’s a march planned for Ezell Ford in LA on Sunday. Somebody wants to fill the calendar until then. In the meantime, article after article will come out, attacking Republicans as pro-militarized police. The Reps better get on the microphones quick and counterpunch.

because they are. Even in Murrieta, the gal from out of town that was arrested, was a Occupy aggitator, along with her 4 friends, and we’re sorta in the middle of nowwhere!

Obama agents trying to stir things up and destabilize the country.

And it's working. His media and minions are stoking the fire and imbeciles like Rand Paul are helping.

But what a bunch of hypocrites! They all rail about the news crew, 1st Amendment and all that. Where were they when the Feds kept all news crews out of the Immigration holding areas. In fact, they barred U.S. Congressmen.

Guess that was about a different 1st Amendment.
