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.

Thanks, I didn’t catch that.
But what I caught last night in Ferguson and again tonight was the protests being led by COMMUNISTS from revcom.us
Their name was on banners last night and the two guys (sharing bullhorn duty)leading the rally in Ferguson are wearing revcom.us T-Shirts.
If you see mass produced, identical signs you know this is not spontaneous. I would not be surprised if revcom.us is leading the NYC protest.
They are trying to get the crowd fired up and trying to provoke a police reaction.
I started a separate thread for NYC so this one isn’t disrupted. From the sound of the crowd, sounds like more than several hundred marching
“we have never in America: the government deploying forces against its own citizens as enemies of the state.”
Your early post, before I got involved. Operative word “never” as well as phrase “deploying forces”. Note you did not declare specifically “killed”, just to be clear.
But yes, the US is much different and much better than any other, despite the efforts of commies to disparage it in absurdities.
Isn’t that supposed to have an orange tip on the barrel? Lol
OK, well, I guess I meant as a matter of course. I try “never to use the word “never” but I guess I did. Definitely a mistake.

A guy just walked up and punched my photographer in the face 4 times. People in the crowd rushed to help, the guy ran.
