A St. Louis property manager is warning businesses near the St. Louis County courthouse to prepare for civil unrest in the wake of the imminent grand jury decision in the Michael Brown shooting.
Public demonstrations and random acts of violence have plagued the St. Louis area since August, when a white police officer shot and killed an unarmed, black teenager in the North St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, MO.
The warning to businesses came by way of a letter, dated October 21, addressed to all tenants in The Boulevard shopping center in Richmond Heights, MO. The shopping center is less than a mile and a half from the site of the grand jury proceeding in Clayton, MO.
The Pace Properties Manager disclosed that the property management team met with local authorities/police recently to discuss their plans and recommendations for dealing with possible demonstrations and civil unrest after the grand jury decision is announced on the Michael Brown shooting.
The term civil unrest is used multiple times throughout the letter....

Dilbert,
If you look at the numbers,
Blacks represent 12 percent of the population and account for more than 50 percent of murders, strong arm roberies and assaults.
Should we fear being around black youth?
Hell yeah.
I don’t see too many whitefolk clammering to move to south Chicago.
"...a white police officer shot and killed an unarmed, black teenager..."
There was no racism on the part of the police officer. In the incident, the racism involved came from the Gentle Giant, who was wacked up on drugs coming off a strong arm robbery just minutes earlier. Big Mike, didn't want to be pushed around by The Man (ie White Man).
The second part of this is just as bad and I've heard, read it a zillion times in this case and in the Trayvon Martin case: "unarmed teenager". In both cases, the unarmed teenagers were bigger, stronger and attacked their victims. Saint Trayvon was grounding and pounding Zimmerman's head MMA-style against a concrete slab. The Gentle Giant had already attacked the police officer in uniform and busted his eye-socket and fought over the gun. He'd already been shot in the hand in the fight inside the police car. Instead of getting the heck out of Dodge, Big Mike turned on the injured and dazed police officer, closed within 20 ft and started forward to attack the police officer again. Yeah, "unarmed teenager" is an accurated description or a sign of laziness by the CNS reporter?
Let's rewrite this:
"...an injured police officer shot and killed his teenage attacker before he could attack again..." That's what I would expect from a conservative news service, accuracy in reporting.
