Ferguson, Missouri (KMOV.com) – What started as a peaceful prayer vigil Saturday evening to remember a young man gunned down by police, has escalated into full scale riots and looting in Ferguson, Missouri.

Angry mobs have smashed windows, set fires and looted businesses as a massive showing of police, some wearing riot gear have moved into the area along West Florissant just south of 270.

Police are also responding to reports of shootings throughout the area. At one point, windows of a News 4 live truck were smashed out by the angry crowd.

yes, looting a convenience store is always the proper corrective for allegations of police brutality.

I was thinking the same thing. Why aren't they laying siege to the police station? or some government building? /rhetorical question

How steroid-stupid do you have to be to back-shoot a black kid in broad daylight in the summer in St. Louis, and then try to claim the usual cop escape hatches?

Probably pretty stupid.

Now what does this have to do with looting and burning businesses and attacking random white people? Is this the shape the black community's grief is taking? Poor folks.

“Watts riots began August 11, 1965 - 49 years ago.”

I was there... We were given shotguns and protected the naval base in Long Beach.

“So I guess you were there. Can you tell us all first hand what exactly happened please. We would all love an eye witness account.”

I wasn’t there, but I can tell you that the LEO’s are the enemy of the blacks and the whites. They work for the state, and they will kill your daughter or your grand daughter just as quick as they will kill a black child. Wake up...

“About time to call out the National Guard, locked and loaded.”

From post #206, sounds like the NG should be shooting at cops...

..........sounds like............

*Sounds like* and what really did happen may be two different things.

Still ain't no justification for looting, as many have said before, the looters don't give a rat's a$$ about anything but looting (Free stuff).

Yup, so many instances of cops murdering people without cause.

James Chasse in Portland, the guy in Washington who was murdered while whittling a stick, the guy in the North Las Vegas Costco who was murdered, the guy at Walmart who was carrying a toy who was murdered.

The cops are becoming the new SS/Gestapo.

So let me get this straight: The "black community" (whatever that is) complains that police profile them and assume the worst about them, yet when a police incident upsets them, they proceed to go out and prove beyond any doubt that a sizable subset of their "community" truly are criminals just waiting for an opportunity to commit crimes.

OK, got it.

numerous links stating FBI is involved with investigation ... http://www.bing.com/search?q=has+the+fbi+taken+over+the+case+in+Ferguson%2C+Mo%3F&qs=n&form=QBLH&pq=has+the+fbi+taken+over+the+case+in+ferguson%2C+mo%3F&sc=0-12&sp=-1&sk=&cvid=0c06d65e5219455cacb2e9578f234617 ... other reports are saying rioting is subsiding this evening and is relatively quiet. Some information to assertion at the links provided of being relatively quiet ... but most of the claims of relative quiet is from other links not provided.

I was wrong about things appearing to be quiet and a bit more calm. My apology for the error. More prayers for calm and quiet.

Just learned he had a record.

[oldenuff2no]

I’m awake please show proof of these claims. Liberals make vast statements that they can not prove. I expect factual provable truth from others.

[Chode]

LOLOL!!!! just damn...

[dragnet2]

but I can tell you that the LEO’s are the enemy of the blacks and the whites.

I have no doubt many Americans are starting to believe that.

Not sure the percentage of how many see them as the enemy, but I do know the widespread total distrust for law enforcement/government is escalating and ramping way up.

I do now. I did not use to, but I do now.

Honoring a thug causes thugs to celebrate... This is how thugs celebrate...

Brown was a violent criminal gangster known to the cops: https://fbcdn-photos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/t1.0-0/10568928_863558853662333_4892404295867467059_n.jpg

This is how Obama anarchy begins. This may be the spark that starts the race war which has been initiated and organized by Obama and his crisis politics.Obama wants martial law.

Lets see how Obama exploits this crisis.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!

The MSM has always WANTED to do that, now is their chance!
