The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?

A news crew, clearly no threat or impediment to the cops, films from a verge in Ferguson, Missouri. A pop and a cloud of white smoke marks the arrival of a tear gas canister at their feet, and the newscrew is forced to flee.

The cops are probably thinking that, without the news crews there to give the rioters their forum, the rioters would be back to their usual evening activities by now.
As much as I hate militarized cops playing with their toys, it gives me great joy that they gassed Al-Jazzera. Too bad they didn’t have VX.
News cameras can bring out the worst in people.
Gas vs. Gas Bags
To quote the great Henry Kissinger, “It’s a shame they can’t both lose”
A pox on both their houses.
If the news crews went home then this crap would stop.

This is impossible because the Cops are there to Protect and Serve.
I think I'll go for the Gestapo police. The Media is a cancer to the Nation. The police don't hate the country, they are just conforming to nature.
News crews are there to make it public so the Dems can get their base outraged, thus they get out the vote.
Sadly that seems lost on some on our side.
News crews go home and so would the thugs and scumbags.
Now we have Black panthers, Sharpton, homosexual groups and even the UN chiming in and pitting themselves against the cops.
Typical left wing , get people outraged with their selective outrage and then get the votes out for the up coming elections.
They will, if/when given the opportunity.
Police are there to protect & serve -- those who already control everything. And those people are not us.
Amen
agreed. Al Jazeera has every right to film what they police are doing as far as I know.
Left wing media getting tear gassed because they are promoting their left wing agenda and getting their base outraged.
This happened more than once in the LA Riots (Rodney King Riots).
The cops know that a news crew with bright lights blazing will attract a crowd, so they will demand “lights out and get back in the truck”. They don’t want any crowds or clusters of people that will lead to a crowd losing control.
In the LA case they usually ran up to the crew and made verbal demands. Tear gassing the crew takes this to new heights!
Did the cops demand that they leave, and the crew refused or ignored them?
