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.

maybe after Holder’s people clean out that section of Missouri, they can finish their back-to-school looting and start to work on their Christmas shopping in OKC

Dont think there is any action. There may be quite a lot of action. Just no video of it.

Sounds good to me. There are tons of less-than-lethal options and some will make you wish you had stayed home. Lol
To: Steely Tom
Well the police DID tell the reporters to quit filming.
So that’s that, right?

My dad, who you couldn’t get more conservative and was a vet, really had reservations years ago when SWAT teams started in the cities. He really hated it.

I know that, but I wouldn't put it beyond Obama to plant a few saboteurs acting like Tea Partiers in a crowd to justify treating all as criminals, or better yet to provoke some into aggression and hope it gets out of control, so he can crack down in his own manner. ACORN was doing just that at an early Tea Party some years back... Drudge had a link.

If a confrontation with police is planned I think on the top of the shopping list would be gas mask. This is not an item you pop down to the local grocers to buy on short notice.
So tactics are involved. Which means anticipation of actions which will provoke the police. Which means a deliberate attempt to incite others to create the chaos which best has one reaching for that gas mask.
Bottom line some people want this to happen and you can bet it is not to the advantage of anyone who really is protesting because they are upset over the shooting.

Back up,he is saying they are looking to arrest reporters.A car is surrounded and they are shooting tear gas at it-has reporters init.

You have to be kidding me. The government went in and killed our citizens at Waco. This has looting and burring private property all over it. Difference in that.
