A day of protests and vigils Sunday over the death of Michael Brown, a black teenager who was killed (allegedly shot 8 times) following an altercation with a Ferguson police officer, turned violent overnight with reports of riots and looting... and the violence is continuing today. As the following images suggest, there was a lot more bubbling under the surface of middle America than concern about one young man's death as Ferguson's full SWAT team is in force. As one young protester screamed, "the revolution will not be televised."
A selection of clips...
"The revolution will not be televised"
More looting...
and the Police are out in force today...

Yeah buddy! I didn't want to act like I was bragging though . . . . also, my scope is zeroed with that ammo at 200 yards so for 250 it's basically just line up the cross hairs about 5-6" high and gently squeeze the trigger. At 500 yards you have about a 50+" drop from your zero point so it is admittedly a much tougher shot (not to mention the cross wind factor if any).
Don't shoot your bankster masters. You are good stooge.
this is a very good argument for 20 round clips. as was the LA riots.
I believe you mean "magazine"
nothing has changed in the exceptional usa. lol.
you crackers are on the way to regime change.
the same kind you try to foist on the rest of the world.
have at it fools.
the world is going to enjoy watching you decimate your collective fat asses.
oh, and please buy some Polish apples to throw at each other. They're full of your favorite pesticides.
Blacks and gays brought disease to America, which had been totally eradicated.
AIDS and soon Ebola due to your unnatural sexual practices. Crimes against nature
result in disease.
If you want to put your dicks in a sewer go do it in Nigeria.
thats interesting why an american town named after an ex manchester united manager, nice ! you american folks are funny
and President Obama is black !
Divide and conquer...what an amazingly effective concept. It even works here on ZH where high information people are easily turned into racist lemmings.
As long as no one is violating the civil rights of cattle.. they dont care. Theyll welcome curfews and martial law. Excellent work by tptb
So THIS is the REVOLUTION??
God help us
This is far, far from any revolution. It is more dysfunction from one of the more dysfunctional parts of the United States. On the continuum of failed American cities St. Louis is right up there with Detroit.
lol there all too fat for a revolution, there are screwed by wall Street junk food , courtesy of Mac Donald or Coke,no trvolution only heart desease !!!
Does this mean that St. Louis is out of the running for "Best US city to live in now" contest?
In similar situations, this should be used:

I carry one [concealed carry] when going out and about - for my protection and for the ability to judiciously react when another human being is being attacked, rather than standing by helpless and dialing 911. It provides me with options, mind you, no guarantee of anything, but at least there are options...
Why don't white peeps w/rifles get capped @ the 'Mart?
"People at a Wal-Mart called the police on a man who was carrying a BB gun, whereupon police officers promptly arrived and shot him. John Crawford, 22, is dead after police mistook his pump action pellet gun for a real rifle. Ohio Attorney General Mike Dewine said that he will be conducting an investigation to see if there was any police misconduct.

It's lawless, anything goes now...
Yeah, its o.k. for the bankster criminal scum to steal BILLIONS of dollars from the people and they walk away scott free but you steal a TV during a riot and you get shot in the back. Somehow our sense of justice in this country has gotten really messed up.
Both crimes are reprehensible.
But one of the criminals hasn't bribed and / or threatened the Just-Us system.
The Goverment is organized crime on steroids.
because white peeps dont go to the mart w rifles nimrod.
It will be interesting to see if the police, judges and politicians ever start to realize that they are going to have to start following the Constitution again, or if they're all just going to burn.
Thank god for blacks; most of them fight like mad and are crazier than a moonbat, but thankfully we have them because most whites are pussies and would take police brutality bent over for many more decades. Give me a fighter over a pussy any day, especially when dealing with tyranical, out of control governments. I love blacks!
Also notice what happens when you allow the government to take your guns. With no guns, you can only throw insults, while the cops throw bullets. Mark and remember.
Molon labe. Let the Revolution start in Ferguson.
#FergusonRevolution
I think it's less a case of blacks being brave fighters and more one of low self-control and a distain for authority. If and when Whites decide to kick ass it'll be a whole different ball game.
LOL.
“You and we are different races. We have between us a broader difference than exists between almost any other two races. Whether it is right or wrong I need not discuss, but this physical difference is a great disadvantage to us both, as I think your race suffer very greatly, many of them living among us, while ours suffer from your presence. In a word we suffer on each side. If this is admitted, it affords a reason at least why we should be separated."
Abraham Lincoln. Repatriation to Liberia was the goal of the American Colonisation Society.
Putin is a honky.
I'm sorry that I missed your post-- I left one that was essentially the same, yours is better though. I have to agree with you-- we (whites) should be just as angry but we aren't... why is that? I mean we were robbed, and robbed seriously but we don't care enough to do anything about it, then again what would we do? Maybe just getting mad and letting people know by any way possible is what it takes. I'm torn on the subject.
The 2nd Battle of Ferguson is under way, some 200+ years later.

thank god for blacks? ah, blacks = half the crime in this country, and 85% of inter racial violent crime.
yeah, thank god for the knockout game. right.
When does the DHS start using their billions of rounds of hollow points? The goons are probably itching to test them out.
Not to worry! This is just how the entitlement hoards (whores?) do their Bak to Skool shopping.
Looks like Ferguson needs to get one of those surplus MRAP's from the gubmint.
Banksters, meanwhile, have control of the stooges. Do you know who the real enemy is? No.
That ammo is to be used on the Tea Party, pal.
Look at the twitter feeds and facebook posts.
Their older posts talk about wanting to riot so they can get free 'stuff'.
Doubt many of them care about the kid except as a symbol.
The cops are real tough guys in their Fallujah gear . . .
All it takes is a spark like this to light the fire that has been smoldering for years now. It happened in Watts (LA) in 1966 and in Detroit in 1967. The next time it happens (this time??) it could go nationwide in a heartbeat. All it would take is for the tough guys in riot gear to kill another unarmed protestor.
in 2012, there were 700,000 INTER racial crimes of violence.
85% were black on white. and blacks comprise 15% of the population. 20,000 white woman raped by blacks a year. white on black rapes - almost nil.
yeah, light that spark.
There is asymmetric warfare everywhere. As long as there is one man in prison no one is free. Thats not a hug a thug philosophy. Its a six sigma declartion to improve the plight of citizens. They do it in Continential Europe with authority. Every black man arrested is a warrior in the battle for the soul of humanity.
This comment will probably get slammed but I'm going to say it anyway. One thing you have to give the black's credit for, they aren't pussies like many of us white folks who also put up with police brutality, thievery by the FED, etc. I don't condone destruction of property and looting, but on the other hand what else can a person do to get the attention of TPTB? The civil way doesn't seem to work very well, does it? I'm really torn here, and open to constructive criticism on this statement.
well, the problem with that is, they use ANY excuse to loot. look at any natural disaster and there they are looting. it must be in the genes.
in other news, negros kill negros EVERY DAY. dont hear much from the looters and rioters then.
just goes to show you.
Yeah, the looting does look really bad, but what would the Fed do? IF (completely hypothetical) the FED/TPTB knew the towers were coming down would they have left the gold stored under it, or taken it first?
Black folks like those in Ferguson loot and riot because they don’t have any political power and know it.
White folks don’t loot and riot because they think they have political power, but don’t.
Dont have any political power?
They elected obama. they were the swing vote.
just because he didnt do anything for them doesnt mean they werent the swing vote.
The blacks are being manipulated ... again. Did you notice the signs were all identically printed with the same stupid slogan?
Do we really believe that one of the rioters ran down to kinkos when the riots began and had a bunch of signs printed? Or, perhaps, more rationally, should we believe that someone printed those signs in ADVANCE, hoping to capitalize on a riot?
If the latter, who? Who would benefit from the blacks rioting? Who instigated it? Why?
Gil Scott Heron made the point that Looting is NOT part of the Revolution:

There will be no pictures of you and Willie May
Pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run
Or trying to slide that color TV into a stolen ambulance
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
Or report from 29 districts
The revolution will not be televised

AN ALTERNATE SCENARIO:
Background:
First, it should be remembered that police officers have NO MORE RIGHTS than the ordinary man on the street. Police have been granted additional POWERS by government (as government officers or employees) such as carrying firearms where otherwise prohibited, the power to enforce search and arrest warrants, etc.(Of historical interest, in the first police departments craeted in the U.S., such as in New York, a police officer was NOT allowed to be armed while on duty (much as the police in Britain - as constables or "Bobbies" formerly did not carry firearms); whereas the ordinary man COULD lawfully carry a firearm. The main reasons: 1.) it was feared that armed ploice would soon abuse their authority; and 2.) police officers respond to crime already committed, while it is far more likely that an ordinary armed citizen may be on-scene to interrupt an ongoing crime OR that citizen will be the "first responder" to a crime already committed.
But an ordinary man can lawfully arrest another man - it is often called a "citizen's arrest". And under American (and British) Common Law, a man who is being UNLAWFULLY arrested by a police officer has the RIGHT to FORCEFULLY RESIST that arrest, matching violence with violence, including killing that police officer. This RIGHT was affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court in the famous John Bad Elk case. In fact, another person - Man #2 witnessing an unlawful arrest by a police officer of man #1, has the RIGHT to stop the police officer fom arresting man #1 using as much force as necessary to prevent the unlawful arrest (even lethal force), even if man #1 is not protesting or resisting his own arrest. This is NOT theory; this is a long-established RIGHT under the Common Law and affirmed as such by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Now, the police officer gains his additional POWERS by swearing an OATH (which is a CONTRACT in law), which then gives that officer "limited immunity" from Civil lawsuits whe he has acted properly in the performance of his duties. BUT the government PAYS A COST for granting him this "limited immunity". In most instances the town/city is required to purchase a BOND (sort of an insurance policy) for each police officer to ensure that any court judgment against a police officer will be paid to the damaged party. In America true law is the Common Law under which every man has the RIGHT to contract (or NOT to contract) with another man, but each man assumes "full and unlimited commercial liability". In contrast, offices with a government are created by legislated acts (statutes, codes, regulations, ordinances) which are NOT law, but only obtain the "force of law" ONLY through the consent of each individual man. In short, an act or statute is, in fact, an OFFER TO CONTRACT - and if you agree to that contract, then you are bound by that statute. In the case of police officers, by assuming that office created by statute, have agreed to that statute (as a contract) in exchange their salaries, "limited commercial liabilty"and additional police powers.
2.) ALTERNATE SCENARIO: If ordinary man #1 was walking down the street wearing BLUE SHOES and ordinary man #2 stopped man #1 and ordered him to take off his blue shoes, UNLESS there was a CONTRACT (just as a legislated act or statute is a contract) between these 2 men, then if man #1 refused to comply, would man #2 have the RIGHT to forcefullly arrest or even shoot man #1?
The answer is obvious: No, of course not!
That is an example of the Common Law in America even today, which supersedes ALL legislated acts as statutes and even supersedes decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court. That is why the government (through the state and federal legislatures, plus the courts) make the PRESUMPTION that we have all agreed to be bound by their legislated acts as statutes - that we have all agreed to governments' "civil laws" (which are, by definition, contracts). And in law "A presumtion NOT rebutted becomes a fact in Law." meaning that if you are too ignorant and fail to object to such a presumption by the police, courts, IRS or any other government agency, that's your tough liuck!
