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.

What are you listening to?
Have you seen this? (It looks worse than it is)
The bonus marchers were run out of Washington by an administration that was as bad as this one. Aberrations prove the norm, but when they become the norm, we have problems.
You don’t have to be an historian to see the dangers of a militarized police force, and it doesn’t require a scholar to decipher that both sides of this battle oppose the ideals that this country was founded upon.
I’m sure most of the police are decent men, and even many of the rioters are more misled than evil, but evil masquerades as good before being revealed. These kabuki plays set the scene for much larger tragedies and I,for one, have no desire for blood in the streets.
Bonus Army of Veterans by none other than Douglas McArthur.
It seems that you and I are the only ones that see this as an orchestrated event.
Both players on the ground are being used to advance the narrative.
The narrative is “Police are Bad”.
Holder will call for an investigation.
The Protestors are Commies, or are being used by Commies.
The Police are following orders.
I have absolutely no doubt that the police were TOLD where to set up their SWAT line because there was going to be trouble there. The protestors/agitators/useful idiots where directed there for a confrontation, gas masks and all.
The alt media is eating this up as a heavy handed police action.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT.
And they created both sides.
I have no doubt.
Weather Underground playbook
Find an incident, a spark to ignite the flame, ratchet it up to a raging inferno.
Everything has been planned out in advance, they were just waiting for the right incident to ratchet up to a raging inferno.
With the Weather Underground playbook, civil unrest is followed with terrorist attacks.
If we get a terrorist attack lets see if the MSM claims the terrorist are so in tune with the news they picked up on the protest and “spontaneously” planned the attack just like the “spontaneous” attack in Benghazi.
I commented earlier today that with ISIS hot and heavy in the social media the MSM media would be telling us how ISIS is keeping up with the US news on a minute by minute basis and any terrorist attack would be written off as a “spontaneous” response to a news event.
A regime that will plan an invasion of ‘unaccompanied minors’ is capable of anything ... treason is afoot and sadly Americans are clueless in general.
“To protect and to serve” gets more Orwellian by the day...
Make that 3 of us.
This is straight out of the Weather Underground playbook.
From what I’ve seen this doesn’t look like your typical riot control.
Somebody needs a show of force.
I don’t think the incident(shooting) was planned but they were definitely waiting on some incident to jump on.
It, truly, is frightening.
Amen.
I am opposed to anarchy, looting, destruction of private property and I back LEO in getting order back into the town but there is in other cases random events where SWAT is acting under dubious circumstances. There are two books out on the increasing militarization of local police forces and bizarre equipment being purchased by local towns.The colonists resisted such powers being given to local police forces (lobsters) so we should be mindful of that in keeping with our history.
Community of 21,000 is kinda misleading. Ferguson is smack dab in the middle of the greater Metorpolitan Area. It is part of St. Louis County, which has lots of resources.
Buckeye, had been seeing a few live feeds then about an hour ago every live feed disappeared. The one feed have currently is a twitter. Something is going on involving a vehicle. Info is coming from reddit feed. Strange ... Heard about one hour ago for the live camera feed was watching to disconnect and feed disconnected. Have found no current live feed.
Looks like RAT-on-RAT violence.
You’re comparing that to hundreds of millions killed by communist governments in the last 100 years???
Sad.
No America is NOTHING like that.
You tell ‘em Dork.
You’re comparing that to hundreds of millions killed by communist governments in the last 100 years???
Sad.
No America is NOTHING like that.
The State can only rule by force.
That is the sum of political theory. Once you have the monopoly of violence, you can tell others what to do.
What we are seeing is that monopoly breaking down.
The interesting thing is that I really expected something like this to start at the Bundy ranch, not St Louis.
The Civil War is not the same thing as systematic extermination of hundreds of millions of innocent citizens by their own government.
Can’t help you if you can’t make that distinction.
