Thursday was an anomaly, now we back to the true face of the PD

 

[More_Badass]

@michaelcalhoun: Right before gas was fired, police were getting back in armored vehicles and people were clappig and cheering. #Ferguson

Preemptive attacks on a nonviolent crowd?

 

[everyday math]

@TheAPJournalist: Police were getting back into their vehicles before firing the smoke (or tear gas). Many in the crowd were clapping & cheering. #Ferguson

.

I don't get why they did that.

 

[kirblar]

.

I don't get why they did that.

Because they're morons.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

.

I don't get why they did that.

Falling back for the carpet bombing.

 

[Effect]

So what they were trying to provoke people and when they didn't get what they wanted they just left? That whole damn police department needs to be disbanded and it's members blacklisted from being hired by another department anywhere else in the country.

 

[Renta]

So they just wanted to pop in for a second to scare some folks?

Isn't that something children do?

 

[Punchy4486]

Yep just wanted some more footage for their smear campaign.

 

[everyday math]

Because they're morons.

That goes without saying.

Some people said bottle we're being thrown.

 

[PopeReal]

So what they were trying to provoke people and when they didn't get what they wanted they just left? .

At this point there is no other logical explanation.

Or maybe they are just fucking idiots. Either way fire all of them.

 

[Piecake]

So what they were trying to provoke people and when they didn't get what they wanted they just left? .

Seems more like they got pissed that everyone was happy that they were leaving and chucked smoke bombs and flashbangs as a big FU to them.

Stay classy, Ferguson police

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Wow, that was weird. Why even do that.

 

[everyday math]

That looks like it would hurt.

@TheAPJournalist: Reports that some protesters threw a bottle at a business and police responded. Not confirmed, just a rumor so far. #Ferguson #MichaelBrown

 

[Punchy4486]

Wow, that was weird. Why even do that.

The character of Mike Brown keeps getting called into question, but the horrible examples of "police work" being done by this department should throw up dozens of red flags.

 

[FamousLastX]

Looks like it was a big fuck you to the people

They really do think this whole situation is one great big joke don't they? I honestly can not comprehend the point of them doing this.

 

[everyday math]

Oh shit!!

@phampel: #Ferguson On furniture store parking lot man rapid fires nine pistol shots into air. Crowd screams hits the pavement

*drums on chest*

we don't know who that was

[Mariolee]

I refuse to believe that, however incompetent the force is, they would come back all armored up to just scare the folks. It's definitely a response to rioting beforehand.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Problem is it's not all the same department. It's a mix of county, metro, highway patrol and Furgesson city.

The ones making the big issue appear to be county.

Fair point, but that then is a management issue as well. This is embarrassing.

Edit:The police scanner tweets are probably not accurate.

 

[Lowmelody]

When you have all those wonderful toys it's really hard not to want to use them. They really just cannot understand why it's not ok to use them on black people standing around in large groups I mean, WTF else could they possibly be used for? I imagine it's hard for them to comprehend after what their daddies told them it would be like when they donned the blue shield.

 

[antonz]

Its inevitable the longer the Police drag this shit out and piece meal slander etc. that the more anarchist elements are going to get bolder and more active.

 

[P3P5I]

*drums on chest*

we don't know who that was

*drums on chest*

I was off-duty.

@fl0wn_: Shooting victim at Christian Northeast Hospital. Injuries occured on W Florissant. #Ferguson #FergusonScanner

Oh no

Thanks.

 

[devilhawk]

I almost don't want to say this, but it sounds like there's a car driving around with people shooting out of it. People listening to the police scanner are saying this.

There have been several reports of that happening the last few nights. It is scary for everyone involved, both protestors and police. It is also not something that the police can just ignore.

I think that might be the Oakland rally.

I think that might be the Oakland rally.

Ah yea, seems to be. I was wondering why it was a bunch of college students.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

The cops shows up in riot gear fired at the crowd and then left?

[Mariolee]

Rioters need to calm their shit down with these molotov cocktails. Let the police make a fool of themselves, don't break down your cause by doing things like this.

So that is real then. I wasn't sure because I haven't seen too many tweets about it.

 

[Sophia]

Sounds like they're dealing with people with rifles? Impression I'm getting from Twitter and the Police scanner.

@AntonioFrench: Captain Johnson, please contact me now. https://t.co/TWUabWbhNF

I doubt he has time to talk to you.

 

[El Odio]

Seriously, anywhere else I see a discussion about this someone jumps on the fact that the protesters are using cocktails and how their whole cause is a lie. sickening.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Escalating with guns and molotov cocktails is just begging for the true message to be ignored.

 

[FiggyCal]

I doubt he has time to talk to you.

Who is this guy?

 

[kehs]

Seriously, anywhere else I see a discussion about this someone jumps on the fact that the protesters are using cocktails and how their whole cause is a lie. sickening.

I wonder if people calling molotov cocktails are seeing people throwing back tear gas.
