Protesters Storm St. Louis Police Headquarters December 31, 2014 By Greg Campbell
After the shooting of two of New Yorks finest, the message has been made clear: there is a war on police officers.
On Wednesday, protesters stormed the police headquarters of the St. Louis Police Department and occupied the building. Reports are still emerging ,but protesters reportedly issued police an eviction notice that included a list if supposed grievances that included the polices alleged willingness to brutally serve as a militarized occupying force that locks up too many minority citizens.
The eviction notice also claimed that Chief Sam Dotson and all other occupiers of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department would be removed from power.
Social media reports claim that several of the protesters have been pepper sprayed and that the protesters intended on staying for four and half hours, though that is unlikely as police are unlikely to wait that long before dislodging the intruders.
The duration of their stay is supposed to coincide with the amount of time Michael Browns body remained laying on the street where he was killed.
Though this appears to be a peaceful protest, this is the kind of ludicrous behavior spurred-on by Americas top race-hustlers including President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
Though a conversation about how the police do their job is welcomed, the flagrant disrespect and threats lobbed at police in recent weeks is indicative of a deep division widening in American and being aided by those who profit from chaos and division.
Mayor Slay and his bums may indeed have moved it, but my money is that Slay and his cowards were handed the word from "on high" by Odildo and his (cough) Attorney Private Holder.
LOL, what’s up with the traffic cones on top of the heads? Are these idiots still standing in the middle of freeways?
those who profit from chaos and division.
The key line in the whole article.
I’m thinking paint ball gun, with a mix of blue leather dye and itching powder.
Gee, I wonder where those come from?
“There are still some good people living in this country who dont appreciate all of this lawlessness.”
But are they willing to get their hands dirty? That’s the million dollar question. And if they don’t have the guts to do anything, when someone who does have the guts does something - will the same “good people” throw the doers under the bus?
Anger and be tired of a criminal behavior isn’t going to cut it anymore.
theryre all CONEHEADS,,and Potheads
More “when” than “if.” Cops can’t exist if they put up with this level of ignorance or disrespect.
Run em outside and hose em down. That should do it!
Here is the group that is funding/organizing all this:

Political Correctness has this nation so out of whack even the valueless are demanding values.....how about making them work for a living....jail is just another freebee....
Get someone to go in there and say, "Thirty-six hours! That's how long they kept his body there in the street! Thirty-six hours! We gonna stay here thirty-six hours!" After twenty-four hours have someone bring about four buckets of KFC through the lobby and into the police station secure area. Have police walk by eating....
Bingo
And, apparently, not being stopped by law enforcement?!!
I think we might see more cases of the police laying back in these urban areas and not responding as much. Not an official strike but just not exercising their duties fully. Sort of analogous to what Obama had done by just refusing to obey the law and send illegals back
Here is more info.
ST. LOUIS (KTVI) In what was slated as a peaceful March to the Arch by Ferguson demonstrators, more than two dozen people were arrested and pepper spray was used by police. The melee unfolded as protesters tried to storm the St. Louis Metropolitan Police headquarters building.
About seventy-five people marched through the downtown area and eventually went to police headquarters. There, with the building on lockdown, the group took the opportunity to rush an open door. Several people pushed in.
Upon entry, protesters read a list of demands to department officials. Those demands included a meeting with Chief Sam Dotson, Mayor Slay and Board of Aldermen President, Lewis Reed. They also requested an immediate termination of Officers Hayes and Flannery. They want amnesty for protesters who have been charged with non-violent offenses, the creation of a diverse Citizens Review Board with subpoena power and a seven day release of all information regarding police shootings, not limited to transparent release of all unedited videos and audio.
Activist Deray McKesson posted several Vine videos and images via Twitter as the demonstration took place.
Protesters also placed Eviction Notices along type outside of the building.
Signed, We the People, the notice read: We are informing you that the police department is scheduled to be reclaimed by its citizens today, December 31, 2014. Protesters also outlined reasons why they feel a power shift should take place.
There was quite a bit of pushing and shoving as police tried to clear the demonstrators out, with officers eventually resorting to the use of pepper spray to push the crowd back.
Five people were arrested in the initial scuffle. Police chief Sam Dotson says officers were justified in clearing the group out of the lobby.
Were a public building, were open. But were open for legitimate business. Were not open for people to come in and push their own agendas and disrupt the business that has to go on here.
Protesters were critical of police use of pepper spray, many saying things escalated too quickly, with one live streamer who had been hit saying it was happening too often.
This is becoming too commonplace now. I dont know, the man told photojournalist Doug Larsen.
Police say all those calls are already in the met, or on the way to being met, and that protesters are now distracting them from other work with repetitious demands.
The forty or fifty officers that it took to handle the disturbance that was going on outside police headquarters werent in our neighborhoods doing the job our citizens have asked them to do, Chief Dotson said. Thats a big deal

Whip ‘em! Whip ‘em good! (Apologies to DEVO;)
I have to wonder what that largely white middle class group of pot heads finds attractive about “protesting” ??
Some situations cry out for the attention of Ma Deuce.
(2) Notice how this protest against the cops movement can go on and on ENDLESSLY in any American city...save one? Washington, D.C., that cesspool with magnificent architecture, doesn't put up with this crap. I've been there. The police are quick to put things down, and keep 'em down and under control. Quickly. And the press doesn't say a word, either. Some kind of unwritten understanding they have. It's the only city where this behavior doesn't happen. (Remember how they gunned down this crazy young lady in her car? The press didn't push the anti-cop agenda, now, did they?)
