A large police SWAT team showed up to a peaceful demonstration in Ferguson, Missouri and the scene is getting increasingly tense, reports Huffington Post's Ryan J. Reilly, who is currently on the ground.
Soon after the team of more than 70 officers came on the scene, they told protesters they needed to leave the area and that "this [was] not open for discussion," Reilly tweeted. MSNBC reporter Trymain Lee tweeted that police told the crowd, "Go home, return to your vehicles. The protesters responded, "Mike can't go home!"
"Your right to assembly is not being denied," the police said later over a loudspeaker.

There’s nothing “peaceful” about robbing and looting. Run their whining asses off! Go SWAT!

Here we go again? I’ve heard of riot control, but military outfitting and equipment?
The militarization of the police?
Obama’s dream unfolding - a Police State?

Considering all the stupid crap going on up there, there’s no such thing as a peaceful protest right now, just a prelude to rioting.
We should be shooting the rioters in the street, anytime they decide it’s a good idea. It would certainly put a quick and permanent end to this crap.
Whether Mike deserved to be shot or not doesn’t matter. This isn’t how to handle it, but we’ve allowed them to get away with demanding reparations and special privileges for so long that they literally don’t know any better.
We brought it upon ourselves. Good job America.

I think they meant your “right” to assemble a mob to loot and riot has been cancelled.

The problem is, if the precedent is established, it will be used against patriots at some future date and place.
William Roper: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!
Sir Thomas More: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
William Roper: Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!
Sir Thomas More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!

'This Is Not Open For Discussion' Massive SWAT Team Tells Peaceful Protesters In Ferguson To Leave Has a curfew been announced by the mayor or governor? Then what is the civil authorization for this statement?
