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.

The leaders in Ferguson have been talking about the HUGE number of outsiders that have come in.
That nightmare has been unfolding for fifty years.
They are going to start locking people up.
The Commies from revcom.us are there as opportunists, stirring up trouble.
They did the same thing during the Zimmerman/Martin protests.
Thanks to you all for keeping us updated. That live stream isn’t working. I feel sorry for the guy who lost their business. Bad situation. The media will more and likely bury this because it is involving their voting block.
Police give final warning and say they are going to start arresting people. 200 or so people not leaving.
Good for you. And if you loaded those weapons and brandished them, you would be in jail.
And, yes, I would be happy to employ a fire hose against a crowd. And yes even under fire—odds are pretty low they’re gonna hit me behind a shield and behind a curtain of water. Have you ever used a fire hose? It will flat knock you on your ass... there’s also tear gas and bean bags. These are intended to disperse crowds—that means make them leave under their own volition for those of you from Yerba Linda.
I suppose the best response would be to run them over with tanks — seemed to work pretty well in China and other police states, but I guess you’re fine with all that.
I am constantly amazed at law-and-order types who want to feed the beast. You obviously haven’t been paying attention to the numerous agencies reporting that the greatest threat to our country is Right Wingers with guns. Do you really think your safe full of weapons will protect you when the secret police show up at your door?
MRAP in moving in position.
Toward the crowds.
What I said is a fact jack. Go pound sand it you don’t like it.
Your vague reference to some vague event refutes nothing.
Problem is they will soon be doing this to the MURIETTA TYPES....
I’ve noticed nobody seems to have picked up on that but you.
How does everyone seem to miss this is now being managed and orchestrated.
Question now, are both sides being managed by the same people for a show.
Peaceful like a gang or terrorists.
No, wait a minute...

They have been blocking streets at the very least. That is not a peaceful assembly.
Ah, so veterans are not citizens in your calculus? Or are you just ignorant of American History?
Voice sai turn off your video.Reporter willing to be locked up.Going down.
I think my posts are still up.
The Protesters have been stirred up by Commies from revcom.us
They want a confrontation that is seen as more police brutality.
The Police if run by folks with similar communist goals would be happy to take the other side of a confrontation for the show.
I think Joe’s battery died. Lost the feed.
No loss, really. That guy is an a-hole. Will look for better live feed.
Yes, but our history is anomalous, and it looks like it’s about to end. Obama is only a symptom; he is not the cause. People from both sides of the spectrum are cheering the emergence of the Beast.
Laws never saved a man or a country from their own depravity. The law is death, and our only hope is in God.
