Message: Police priority should be facilitation of protest, not preserving law and order.
CNN is reporting that the #Ferguson protestors have delivered to police a list of 18 “Rules of Engagement.” These essentially amount to a set of constraints on police response to the violence expected to result when the grand jury declines to indict Police Officer Darren Wilson for his self-defense shooting of Mike Brown, the 290-pound black adult male who, in what seems like an all too common moment of poor judgment, attacked and tried to kill the police officer.
I’ve embedded the list, as linked on the CNN site, below, but the first item is worthy of particular note:
1) The first priority shall be preservation of human life.
The irony fairy was unavailable for comment.
Anyway, here’s the whole list:

I’m a huge fan of bean-bag shotgun rounds
If the Governor of Missori is sane (there's no indication of that) he'll have the state police there, ready to arrest anyone who's out of hand and not give permits to non-residents to have a protest or a parade.
I think the police should just stage a sick-out if the stuff goes down.
Nighttime temps will be in the 20’s next week. Break out the fire hoses and wet ‘em down. They’ll be ready to go home in about 30 seconds.
Ferguson Police Wipe Collective Butts with Protestor “Demands,” Return Them
Response: You loot, we shoot.
It’s a flail attached to an M4 Sherman. It was used to detonate mines.
Not there any more. They moved the entire museum to South Carolina.
Since when do law breakers get to tell police how to do their jobs?
Since holder and obama became the racists in chief.
“Nuts”
Of course the demands are preposterous. Just consider who is making them!
It’s good to see that the roused rabble have a sense of humor. Rule number 1 for the excrement heads: Run like hell when the cops start shooting. Rule 2: Leave town, and don’t come back. Rule 3: Take your ignorant thug friends with you.
Militia to protesters everywhere, the cops are there to protect u from US.
I would like a bobblehead Al Sharpton character to put on my dash so I can ask him questions while I drive like: Al, is your head misshaped because you’ve had it up Obama’s a$$ too long? And more such questions.
Police need to issue something on the order of:
1. Protesters need to form a single line. Line does not have to be in alphabetical order.
2. March through Ferguson, screaming, singing, and raising all the protest you want.
3. Get out of line and get your a$$ hauled away to somewhere the sun don’t shine.
BTW, We learned a much stricter version of this in elementary school.../SARC
This thing has petered out. Only the dumbest of the dumb are still believing Mr. Wilson was in the wrong.
Could I mount that onto a 1995 Yukon?
Darn! You beat me to it.
