**SNIP**

On Monday, a "direct action" led by local and visiting clergy members is planned for Ferguson and other spots in and around St. Louis. Protest leaders don't plan to release details until shortly ahead of time to avoid tipping off law enforcement. Leaders are taking their cues from the Moral Monday demonstrations that began last year in North Carolina before spreading to several other Southern states.

"We still are knee deep in this situation," said Kareem Jackson, a St. Louis rap artist and community organizer whose stage name is Tef Poe. "We have not packed up our bags, we have not gone home. This is not a fly-by-night moment. This is not a made-for-TV revolution. This is real people standing up to a real problem and saying, 'We ain't taking it no more.'"

The new arrivals included Vietnam-era peace activists, New York City seminarians, many college students and hundreds of fast-food workers bused in from Chicago, Nashville and other cities.

Throw in a few NAGS along with the Justus Brothas and they could hold the RAT convention early.

Time is not on their side. The longer this goes on, the worse they look. Especially if the temperature drops.

[DeaconRed]

OK
Past time for the police to just pull up stakes and let them fend for themselves.
It won't happen but it would work. It wouldn't be long before they beg the police to come back. . .

time is not on their side

Imagine if one of the dread diseases going around infects their ranks.

Teflon Poe, Droopy Draws
Who cares?

Thugs ALL!

[jsanders2001]

This is what happens when you hand out free stuff to ungrateful people who don’t have jobs.

[fatnotlazy]

I still want to know how college and seminary students and fast food workers are able to afford to travel to Ferguson for these protests. And by the way, aren’t the students supposed to be in school and the fast food workers supposed to be working?

[abclily]

Pen this crowd of phonies in. Don’t let them out of Ferguson until they have rebuilt the destruction. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder, and their ilk need to be forced to provide and deliver the rebuilding materials.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Gonna be hugh and series!!!

[PghBaldy]

When Tef Poe talks, people listen!

[ronnie raygun]

Spoke to a big city police officer friend last night he tells me things have gotten worse for them since ferguson. Try to make a collar they all come out of the woodwork taunting yelling calling them racists, cell phones in hand to video the event and of coarse shouting thier rights and thier knowledge of the law, the law which they know nothing about. Frustration and thier inability to make quick decisions in the face of possible gun toating thugs will get them hurt or bring them up on charges.

[leapfrog0202]

Someone in the background is not only paying them, but probably arranged school credit for this ‘real life experience’.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Wonder where the traveling money comes from...

[Carl Vehse]

Protest leaders don't plan to release details until shortly ahead of time to avoid tipping off law enforcement."

If the protest leaders' plans include violence, rioting, and lawless destruction of businesses, issue "shoot to kill" orders to the police.

[MeshugeMikey]

when...the temperature drops/

as the temperature drops

[fatnotlazy]

And the fast food workers want $15 an hour so they can travel around to all the hotspots like Ferguson and protest?

Damn straight, Kareem. You know we are in deep doo-doo when we allow white police officers to return fire at blacks who are shooting at them. Don't they know they are just supposed to just stand there and take the bullets?

[WilliamofCarmichael]

They keep shouting and threatening and I'm going to keep saying, more whites than blacks are killed while being arrest.. and yes I believe that some killings are intentional. These Obama-Holder demagogues and race-grievance industry demonstrators don't care about facts even if it's a fact that the officer was defending his own life.

The FBI and other sources of homicide by law enforcement figures below include the majority of all police departments.

The point of this reply is to point out that whites are the most likely to die while being arrested.

The Obama-Holder U.S. Dept. Just Us and the race-grievance industry will of course exploit all shootings to the max vis-a-vis race more than any concern for the poor victim.

The ARD data show that whites are more likely to die while being arrested and IMO there is no doubt that some of those deaths were the intention of the police.

But the main point is I bet that policemen don't care about race compared to protecting themselves from being killed or maimed.

And what about Ms Carey the unarmed, young black woman chased, surrounded and gunned down by federal agents in D.C.? Where's the Obama-Holder U.S. Dept. Just Us and the race-grievance industry caring about her and her baby?

To me this shows that it is not a racial thing. It happens to all races. These figures however do not show those thought "murdered" by police. I have not yet located data for recent years. Why can't I find data for recent years? I do not know.. maybe the Dept of Just Us and Race-Grievance Industry don't want it known that whites are the most likely to die being arrested.

Tef Poe.....

Def Poe is holding out four fingers and a thumb. Does this represent his IQ or a 5cc brain?
