In an unusual move, the global rights organization Amnesty International has dispatched a delegation of observers and organizers to Ferguson, Mo., to provide direct support to community members and to observe the police response to protests. The 13-person delegation, which arrived late last week, was the first of its kind deployed by Amnesty within the United States, the organization said.
The St. Louis suburb has been filled with unrest since since Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, was shot and killed on Aug. 9 by Darren Wilson, a white police officer. That unrest intensified once again on Sunday, with reports of gunshots prompting law enforcement officials to respond with tear gas.
Overnight, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon (D) announced that he’ll send the National Guard into Ferguson.
Amnesty decided to send a delegation to the city last week — a day after Amnesty International USA’s Executive Director Steven Hawkins sent a letter to law enforcement officials there expressing “deep concern” about Brown’s death and the way in which the police responded to protesters in the following days.

It’s the dissolution of the U.S.
I have been thinking the same thing: that Ferguson local PD needs to time out and let all these “intellectuals” sort things out.
Local police and first responders take a little vacation. The Panthers have everything under control.
Has the Communist Party, Cubans, and the UN shown up yet?

Wonder whether parts of Ferguson are now listed as “Sketchy” in that mobile app...
Their definition of support means bringing in paid rioters. Observe means stirring the pot. Protests means looting, burning down businesses and throwing molotov cocktails. Police response is to keep the msm safely behind the line and not so much as look funny at any amish person.
We have a winner!
Anyone know how to get rid of that annoying pop up for accept or deny for Adobe Flash Player Settings?

“13-person delegation”, just like Bilbo and the 12 dwarves rounded up by Gandalf in the book, “The Hobbit”... Fight Smaug the dragon (The cop who has a target on his back)
