Wednesday was a scary night in Ferguson: Tear gas, bricks thrown journalists arrested.

Ferguson Missouri Police Chief Thomas Jackson spoke again tonight with Sean Hannity. Jackson told Hannity that the Ferguson police have been shot at every night during the rioting. He also admitted that he had been shot at.

Police Chief Thomas Jackson: We haven’t had a single protester injured. The only injuries have been to police officers. One had his ankle broken by a brick… I think this was the first time we had a firebomb thrown at us but we have taken gunfire pretty much every night…

Hannity: You’ve taken gunfire. Meaning shots have been fired at officers?

Chief Jackson: Yes. Myself included.

To take away from the Rod Serling pic: Imagine, if you will, a police force that will kill innocents in their own homes, for nothing more than being a week delinquent with their donation to the Police Benevolent Fund. Then this same police force, boasts of protecting the well-being of rioters who not only destroy property and harm others, but who also injure and shoot at the police....

I smell B.S. Do you notice the cops are shot at every night but never hit? Do you notice people are shot died reporters are hit with rubber bullets center mass? "Good shooting, shitty shooting"

I see the Paleostinians are now voicing their support for the people of Ferguson.

I am on the fence over the initial shooting, just not sure if it was a good shoot or not, I don’t like reports I have heard, it seems like it probably was good initially, but then possibly a few too many extra shots fired after he was no longer a threat?? I just don’t know, I will await further details, but,

In a riot situation, I’m on the side of the police... right up until they start yelling orders to turn the cameras off... I was pissed off about DHS saying the same thing, to congress no less about the places where the illegal children were being housed... The most transparent administration in history is shitting all over the constitution and trying to put and end to the first and second amendments...

I’ve seen a couple of pretty nasty rubber bullet injuries. Bad looking wounds. One on an infowars reporter and another on a peaceful woman protester.
