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.

For a long time, I never understood why the WWI veterans I knew growing up HATED McArthur (and to be honest, most of the WWII guys whose father’s fought in WWI did also).
For that matter, Patton was involved also.
And people on this forum will be cheering them on.
The joke wasn’t directed to you.
WTF does 100 million “ism” deaths got to do with this?
Name calling?
In that case, what is the script?
What is the next move? Trial run for Ebola cordon?

Wes Lowery’s account of his arrest.
On his weapon.
Let’s be honest about two things:
1. These rioters and looters don’t care about Michael Brown. They wouldn’t care if he said he was the second coming of Jesus and commanded them to stop and be peaceful. They just want free stuff and it’s a great opportunity to get free stuff.
2. None of us know what happened that led to the incident. But you have to look at motive and agenda When listening to one side of the story. I don’t think that this LEO woke up that morning And said I am going to go shoot somebody today And make myself a target for Al Sharpton and the entire national media. But the first law of human survival is CYA. A young man is dead so anything that that the shooter says has to be taken with a huge grain of salt. He has an incentive to lie. But the fact that he didn’t embellish his report with wild accusations that he was attacked with a machete and nunchucks and concrete dildo and had to shoot to defend his own life makes him believable.
A King's Man - not so much...
Very well stated.
Citizens can rule the state, or the state can rule citizens. I would not characterize this as breaking down, but cracking down. And I expect these actions in the beginning. First go after criminals and then criminalize and dehumanize your enemies.
The ovens weren’t lit in 35, but the smell of sulfur was in the air.
If you're referring to the officer involved statement, I'd like to see. Got link?
Amen to that!
Wonder why?
yes...I’m not in disagreement here just a little worried about the proliferation of these types of units.
