I guess the dogs in the area could rest easy last night.....

You store owners don’t understand - seeing police provoked the rioters.

Take your insurance payout and your jobs and move to a safer community.

[cableguymn]

it’s becoming obvious that police are to protect and serve the state. Not the people.

If I owned a ghetto store anywhere in America this morning, the thought of relocating it would definitely cross my mind.

Equal protection under the Just Us theory. Until they realized that the facts weren’t relevant the whole thing almost came to a stop.

The community is being punished for having reservations about some police patrolling patterns.

The police are reminding them of “what COULD be”.

Police are being Trained to Ignore Black Crime. The DOJ have declared that Black Crime is Legal ?

When ‘assault weapons’ saved Koreatown

By: Ryan James Girdusky 12/23/2012 06:12 PM

This year marked the 20th anniversary of the Los Angeles riots, sparked by the acquittal of four Los Angeles Police Department officers accused of beating the now-deceased Rodney King. During the five days, mobs around Los Angeles looted stores, burnt 3,767 buildings, caused more than $1 billion in property damage, and led to the deaths of more than 50 people and left another 4,000 injured. A story that has been forgotten since then is that of the brave storeowners in Koreatown who fended off mobs with handguns, rifles and assault weapons.

On the second day of the riots, the police had abandoned much of Koreatown. Jay Rhee, a storeowner in the area, stated to The Los Angeles Times, “we have lost faith in the police.”

Democrat Governor Jedediah Nixon took time from his busy schedule of flying a state-owned private jet all around the state for fund-raisers to stop by Ferguson for a few minutes and tell the cops that they needed to understand that people needed to express their emotions. The cops are just allowing people to express their emotions, like Jedediah said.

Weren’t the Ferguson Police relieved of their protection duties due to alleged over-zealous enforcement? Looks like no one took over.

[cripplecreek]

Sounds like they were ordered to stand down from above.

You couln’t pay me enough to be a police officer. Not with this politically correct climate and an incredibly irrational and hostile press.

The answer is to allow the citizenry to arm themselves as they see fit and let them, and their neighbors, protect and serve their own community.

[Cap'n Crunch]

The triumph of liberalism. The downtrodden looters, whiners, takers, rioters have won a victory.

Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson said police backed off to try and ease the tension. No arrests were made.

“We had to evaluate the security of the officers there and also the rioters,” Johnson said. “We just felt it was better to move back.”

He should be replaced immediately.

I wonder why?

[sport]

the police got the message loud and clear. Evidently the store owners have not.

[DannyTN]

Someone said there was going to be a “purge” Friday night where anything goes. Looks like they were right.

[Truth29]

"We had to evaluate the security of the officers there and also the rioters," Johnson said. "We just felt it was better to move back."

No concern about business owners or other peaceful citizens.

Why should the police risk their life or a law suit from the savages..IF I was on that force I would turn my badge and gun in and move out of that town..Let these freaks kill one another like they are doing in CHICAGO..once the slugs tear up the city then they will move on and terrorize someone else..
