Ferguson Curfew Cancelled As National Guard Arrives; Holder Demands To "Remove The Damn Tanks"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The Missouri Governor Jay Nixon gave "no heads up" to the White House before deploying The National Guard and has now made another abrupt decision as The National Guard closes in on Ferguson:

  • *NIXON'S CALL TO HALT CURFEW TONIGHT MADE IN E-MAILED STATEMENT

We presume when there are military tanks rolling through the streets of a town, there is no need for the actual implementation of a curfew... This once again rubs the administration's nose in it as AG Holder's comments from last week hang in the air: "get those damned tanks out of there."

The neighborhood has been under a midnight-to-5 a.m. curfew the past two days, after Nixon declared a state of emergency. That has now changed...

As NBC News reports,

Authorities on Monday lifted the overnight curfew for Ferguson, Missouri, after two nights.

 

The announcement came from Gov. Jay Nixon, who earlier in the day ordered the National Guard to the St. Louis suburb after a week of clashes between police and protesters over the police shooting death of an unarmed black teenager.

 

Nixon said that the National Guard would have a limited mission and that overall command would still be the responsibility of the Highway Patrol, which took over security in Ferguson on Thursday.

 

The National Guard, under the command of Brig. Gen. Gregory Mason, will “provide protection, and ensure the safety of our Unified Command Center, which was the target last night of a coordinated attack,” Nixon said.

 

Nixon said that law enforcement officers were the target of gunfire on Sunday. The violence also included firebombs, looting and “a coordinated attempt to overrun the unified Command Center,” Nixon said.

 

And as WSJ reports, locals and Feds are not in agreement...

Mr. Holder, the attorney general, rewrote a statement about Ferguson he was planning to issue to emphasize he expected local authorities "to complete a thorough, fair investigation in their own right,'' even though the FBI had opened its own case into whether Mr. Brown's civil rights had been violated, a law-enforcement official said.

 

The two sides also clashed later in the week over the Ferguson Police Department's plan to release the surveillance tape of the convenience-store robbery. Lawyers in the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division objected, saying it would anger the community and intensify protests by those who felt it was an attack on Mr. Brown's reputation rather than an evenhanded disclosure of information, law-enforcement officials said. 

 

The police department decided to release the video Friday, over the continued objections of federal officials. Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson said last week the move came in response to numerous media freedom-of-information requests.

 

Federal, state, and local authorities also have disagreed publicly over the tactics and equipment deployed to deal with protests.

...

 

"Tell them to remove the damn tanks," Mr. Holder told his deputies on Thursday, according to a law-enforcement official, referring to heavily armored vehicles the local police had used. That day there were discussions among local officials about how to scale back the armed presence, officials said.

We are sure this, too, will end very well: for the happy ending tune in tonight sometime after sundown.

You just gotta love the "please don't release the video showing this helpless little unarmed baby angel as a terrorizing thug" angle by the democratic governor and Holder.

The only reason they are upset is it blows their cover for this thug out of the water.

Say what you want about that police chief...but he was astute enough to release that tape. He fucking knew what the media, democrat shit machine, and Obama/Holder was gonna do. And he was fucking right on the money. Probably took a crash course in Trayvon 101.

I initially had sympathy for all the decent folk in those parts that are affected by these riots, and the state of MO in general.

Then I realized they elected a statist democrat for governor. 

Sympathy denied. They got what they voted for.

You might become a criminal because of an Executive Order, but being a thug has nothing to do with legislative fiat.

You knock off a 7-11, you deal drugs, you steal jewelry, etc....you're a thug. We all know the difference.

The real victims in all of this are the decent people on both sides who don't loot or enjoy being enforcers behind a badge of the state.

If 90% of the population were decent people this wouldn't happen.

Where are we now?  65% decent - 35% clueless violence lovers?

60%/30% and 10% who "aren't sure"?

The only real victims are maybe 5%, being the 5% that are smart enough to see what is really going on in the world.

The rest is either complicit or so stupid that they blindly believe the official story every time. Both are happy, the first because their scheme works and the second because they really think justice is served on a national an international level..

The cops are such drama queens sometimes, probably 4 or five protestors throwing rocks and one moltov cocktail landing 3 feet inside the perimeter counts as a corodinated combined arms attack which means only the NG can save Ferguson.

They will need MOAR than Tanks and National Guard if the cop is acquitted. What if there is evidence and witnesses that show wrestling for the cops gun, the cop getting punched in the face, and the cop getting bum-rushed? That makes the shooting legit in the eyes of the color-blind law.

Michael Brown was 18 year old adult and unarmed. But he was also 6'4" in height and weighed 292 lbs. Obviously, he was very capable of throwing lesser sized people around like rag dolls as shown by the video showing his strong arm robbery of the Quik Trip that was released. 

If this "kid" was fighting the cop that shot him, moments after the strong arm robbery, and attempting to take the cops gun as has been reported, it would seem to be a pretty clear case of a justifiable shooting in self defense.....

Too bad some groups insist on playing the race card. Would they prefer that the "kid" have successfully gotten the cop's gun and shot the cop?

"Tanks" are any vehicles that rioting looting lawless mobs can't effectively kick and dent, firebomb, smash the windows out of, destroy, flip over, etc. Thus, what Holder wants is more vehicles that can be more easily destroyed by half witted lazy mobs, and fewer secure vehicles that take more planning and work.

Why make this "hard" for the lawless mobs? They don't seem to be the sporting type. I'm fairly confident I could effectively destroy an armored converted Brinks truck, or an MRAP, but that's a conversation for another day.....the Ferguson mobs need easier targets for media purposes.

Jack Burtan;

If US Military has foreign made MRAPS or V-Hulled Armored Vehicles and wants to provide them as "Grants" to Local Law Enforcement... There would be a lot of people in Washington Signing Off on this action:

- DOJ, Eric Holder would have been Informed, Concurred, maybe reviewed policy & intentions, even if He didn't sign off on the "Grant" of DOD equipment to Local Police
- Congress Paid for the MRAPS, and Armored Vehicles & Machine Guns... would think they signed off on it, Reviewed it, Acknowledged the loss of DoD Equipment and Capital Assets

- More spin from Eric Holder "I am Concerned about the Militarization of Local Police"

No but firing tear gas into a legally assembled crowd with no rhyme or reason before the start of the curfew because of spurious 'gunshots' or 'molotovs' even after the police chief said they wouldn't use tear gas on Sat again reaks of fascism.

You act as if the crowd is some kind of monolithic group and that everyone's right should be severely curtailed and even impeded because of 'security concerns' all because it is a bunch of n!ggers.  You sang a pretty different tune on Bundy related posts about the gov't and their heavy-handed tactics.

I would rather you come and say you think 'n!ggers should know their place.'  At least it would be an honest response.

I don't know who to root for...

On one hand I have looters,  Sharpton/Jackson,  and opportunists looking to make a strawman case against "stand your ground",  "right to carry",  and extending what is clearly a minority agenda of entitlement.

On the other hand I have militarized police, heavy handed tactics, and what will become a government precedent for "keepng the peace" and putting down dissent.

In between...I have a robbery with a potentially violent perpetrator who is only visible on TV thru his cute childhood photos,  an event at an arrest where anything could have happened,  and probably a small group of honest folk upset about class inequality...(notice I left out race)...and disparity of income and opportunity, and the feeling they are under the heel of 'the establishment'.

- Big Government, the people that are Federalizing and corrupting State & Local powers with big money, Training, Education, and New Weapons
- Revolutionaries, Black Panthers, Islamic Radicals
- Government Provocateurs, FBI, Federal Intelligence

Bowling With Our Own
Robert Putnam’s sobering new diversity research scares its author.
25 June 2007

Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam, author of Bowling Alone, is very nervous about releasing his new research, and understandably so. His five-year study shows that immigration and ethnic diversity have a devastating short- and medium-term influence on the social capital, fabric of associations, trust, and neighborliness that create and sustain communities. He fears that his work on the surprisingly negative effects of diversity will become part of the immigration debate, even though he finds that in the long run, people do forge new communities and new ties.

Putnam’s study reveals that immigration and diversity not only reduce social capital between ethnic groups, but also within the groups themselves. Trust, even for members of one’s own race, is lower, altruism and community cooperation rarer, friendships fewer. The problem isn’t ethnic conflict or troubled racial relations, but withdrawal and isolation. Putnam writes: “In colloquial language, people living in ethnically diverse settings appear to ‘hunker down’—that is, to pull in like a turtle.”

In the 41 sites Putnam studied in the U.S., he found that the more diverse the neighborhood, the less residents trust neighbors. This proved true in communities large and small, from big cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Boston to tiny Yakima, Washington, rural South Dakota, and the mountains of West Virginia. In diverse San Francisco and Los Angeles, about 30 percent of people say that they trust neighbors a lot. In ethnically homogeneous communities in the Dakotas, the figure is 70 percent to 80 percent.

Don't root for anyone.

The riots are just riots.   They are manned by the professionally aggrieved and by those who believe in 'shopping by other means'.

In the words of a plain spoken genius I once knew, "Words mean stuff so be sure you're saying the right stuff."

A "protest" is not a "riot" and vice versa.

Do not allow the two terms to be conflated, as the Police have attempted in Ferguson.

The primary value of protests is that they provide opportunity to create organization.

Acting out and breaking things have zero potential for social change.   Acting out and breaking things communicates only anger.

Anger is impotent at preserving anything worth living for.

Organization, unity, and determination are the opposite of anger.    Those are what make all things possible.

Protests can be paid for as we saw in the 1980-1990 Union Protests, we had Professional Protestors even in Nuclear Power Protesting & in Greenpeace Protests.

But Rioting is "Group Think", just don't underestimate their ability to plan, destroy, inflict injury, and steal things that are completely unexpected by police.

Agents Provocateurs can be Funded by George Soros, Rupert Murdock, CIA, FBI, Army or Military Intelligence, Russia, Mossad, MI-5 or MI-6,... probably Germany too. Why not China as well.

So Rioting could be caused by Black Panthers, Radical Islamist, or by the US Disenfranchised OR by Some Agent or Agency. Simplest Answer?

What could be the Good from all this? Better police Procedures & State & Federal Court Rulings to Support Civil & Individual Rights... But what could Protestors Plan Out besides this????

Yes protests and riots can be paid for.

'Group think' comment on riots is a counter indicator.   A 'paid for' riot is not a 'Group Think' event by definition.  It is a premeditated event.

Yes.  Lot of different organizations and individuals could pay for riots, as they are capable of paying for most things, this fact doesn't by itself indicate that these particular riots were paid for.

No. Riots cannot result in laws or hearings supporting civil and individual rights - because you can't support something by breaking it.   And breaking individual property, disrupting civil behavior is the definition of a riot.

If it doesn't do those things then it isn't a riot. 

Alternatively, resultant hearings can PRETEND to support civil and individual rights - while ACTUALLY screwing down the clamps on freedom some more.  This is an old careworn tactic that lets a bunch of criminals ride in on white horses to 'fix' the problem that they themselves created.

THE PROBLEM is that heavy-handed government behavior is breaking the bond between goverment and governed in a systematic way.   The PROBLEM can't solve itself - or it would be no problem. 

Had the government not behaved systematically in a heavy-handed way generally, then Brown would be alive in jail for assaulting an officer of the law.   And there would be nothing to riot or protest about.

Given that ther is a problem, the response may be real grassroots, or astroturf, or some combination.  It is an academic point, because whatever the source of the commotion, the discourse amongst observers is real.

There are a wide variety of interests who are trying to make this about race.  But while the riots are more unique, the incidence of a police killing of an unarmed suspect, with controversy as to the necessity and no obligation on authorities to prove a justification, is anything but unique. 

It happens all the time.  But it happens to the more vulnerable, whether poor, mentally disturbed, or socially unconnected, more than to the rest for the simple reason that there are that many fewer reasons for an empowered officer to check his inclinations with thoughts of consequences.

- You might be right about the results and be pointing out that local and state authorities seldom actually change anything.

I'm not an expert on US Activism. But I'm thinking it took 100 years to get Worker Rights in the USA & Equal pay for women. This was pushed down by LB Johnson Admin. Which is surprising to me. Same with OSHA.

I can' think of a single Issue that was effectively dealt with a cross a group of states. It could be that often the State Powers and their Wealthy Interests plead that a Solution would have to come from Federal Level... Maybe this is just passing the Buck. But I don't have that much faith in normal government reactions to problems.

- You might be more cynical about People than me, seeing people as the problem and the source of the problems
- Probably we are both Cynical about Government at nearly the same level, but you might not be seeing what is clearly Fascism

The point is not only to identify that this is solely a battle within a single tribe, it is a tribe that gives no shit for one another following decades of endless exploitation. There isn't going to be any "enforcement of the law" because it is inside the Progressive Democrat Tribe.

I have said it before and I still stand by it - If the Progressive Democrats want to play out this little social experiment on their tribal grounds in Missouri and destoy each other, then I fail to see how I should give a shit, become involved, take a side, or plead for calm and "enforcement of the law." If this isn't a lesson in single party domination and the consequences of decades of Democrat bullshit, then I don't know what is.

The Progressive Democrats seem to have a very difficult, if not nearly impossible time enforcing the law inside the tribe. Their belief and values system is built and rests on lawlessness. Witness the Occupy assholes, the border issues, Detroit, Chicago south side, healthcare, fast and furious, IRS, EPA, blah blah blah...among thousands of others below the federal level. The rules are simply not for them. For you and I outside the tribe? Oh yes, yes indeed. I am waiting for the store owners and supportive militia to be quietly rounded up for possession of "scary looking weapons" in their defense of property. Maybe not today, or tomorrow, but I guarantee you the progressive left will NOT let it stand that their blue line of union thugs was undermined by a bunch of protective capitalists with "scary looking weapons" to keep the lowest echelons of their tribe from redistributing the capitalist riches.

Enforcing the law takes someone from a different tribe, a foreigner of sorts...and that overwhelmingly time and time again...is not the progressive leftists who are battling each other in this tribal mess they've created and made worse with every countermove. Pass the fucking popcorn, this is absolute sociological gold...

Because their goal is chaos, destruction, a breakdown of society and the rule of law. Every policy invoked, fails and with it they acquire more power, larger police forces, bigger budgets, more dependents in need in a more broken environment. This is not an accident, an unfortunate result, it is the desired and predicted result. LOOK AROUND! We see the exact same thing in our foreign policies. what many describe as foolish or misguided, are absolutely creating the desired effect. CHAOS. Advancing step by step until it reaches a full run.

We are headed for a civil war, a hybrid of a cold war where there is constant tension and derision between factions (many factions) all attempting to position themselves to advantage, all while encouraging violence and chaos. Our government will simultaneously be funding and arming a military police while condemning them for their actions, just as they have done with the banks. The police as with the banks will become "the necessary evil" that will ultimately be migrated into white evil. Anyone looking for the proper side in this is lost, and deliberately so. Their goal is to have us striking out at others over contrived issues that only they can create. Why do we see the feds coming in on this? This is their baby, they made this through their policies of dependency AND Statist police power.

It all boils down to what the Joker said "Who do you trust, hubbah, hubbah, who do you trust?"

The black community has allowed the family and black politicos to hijack the tragedy.   They trust no one including any brother with a badge.    They have their martyr and could care less about facts.

the police have allowed the media to freely twist facts, spew innuendo and opinion and in their one attempt to counter the "innocent, college bound child, surrendering on his knees" meme, get blindsided for giving the media what it wants, more controvery.

The US Government has their distraction while they screw up everything else, one of the greatest misdirection efforts ever!   By the time we wake up from the sideshow, we'll have boots on the ground in another police action that won't accomplish squat.

Nixon may actually be the smartest one on the field.     You put the weekend warriors on the street in full view of the protestors and see if someone is really paid enough to light the fuse.    If nothing happens and peace is restored, Nixon looks like a hero.   If TSHTF, it's NOT the fault of the local police because even the NG is outgunned!

Dogs and ponies, mirrors and smoke.    Unicorns and skittles enjoy the show.

The dynamic Eric Holder is no Johnny-come-lately to crisis management. He may be active with Trayvon Martin and with Fast and Furious and Ferguson looting, but he was also present in managing the tricky ins-and-outs of the Oklahoma City bombing.

According to AFP reporter Dave Gahary, “Several researchers believe that Kenneth Trentadue’s obvious torture and murder were covered up by current U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., who was then serving as President Bill Clinton's deputy attorney general, to ensure the FBI’s role in the bombing would never be brought to light.”

Gahary reports on a trial that began July 28 with Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue representing his deceased brother to show that the FBI has a video of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing on April 19, 1995, which proves that others were involved and refutes the U.S. government’s account of what happened.

His brother, Kenneth, was 44 years old when he “was found hanged in his cell in Oklahoma during the investigation of the bombing. Although his death was ruled a suicide, Oklahoma City’s chief medical examiner said Trentadue was ‘very likely…murdered.’ His body was so badly beaten and bruised from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, 41 wounds and bruises in total, that it would be quite clear to the unbiased observer that he was horrifically tortured and spent the last seconds of his life in excruciating pain.

“Kenneth’s cell was washed out before any investigation could be performed."

Writes Gahary: “Many OKC bombing researchers believe Kenneth’s murder was due to the fact that he bore a striking resemblance to Richard Lee Guthrie Jr., a suspected co-conspirator in the bombing. Guthrie, too, died in federal custody, allegedly from suicide by hanging.”

Update: FBI witnesses at the trial said the tape did not exist but one FBI witness who had known Timothy McVeigh was not present at the trial and Trentadue suggested he had been told to stay away. But the judge has ordered that witness, John Matthews, to appear before him for questioning. The judge took the lawsuit under advisement at the close of the trial and a ruling is expected by the end of the year.

The German Government did the same thing to like 20 members of various Activists similar to the Baader Meinhoff Gang or Red Army Faction.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulrike_Meinhof

Their roots were in 1950s, but the youth movement in Universities peaked in 1960s I think.

The protest was about the Fact that the Same people Running West Germany after the Third Reich... were in fact the same people. At some point there was a false flag or sorts where Andreas Baader broke out of a voluntary stay at a medical clinic and then was declared a fugitive. Then the group started robbing banks to help sustain the activism and continue their work.

Anyway many of them hung in jail cells, cell of Meinhof was scrubbed and shoddy autopsy performed quickly. Others some how got guns & knives in maximum security prisons which they used to kill themselves.

Those Germans are tough.

The Ferguson events have been a powerful push by the media to identify blacks as victims of white police and white justice. But this same overwhelming media presence in this race issue - front page, wall-to-wall coverage from Ferguson every day - is practically never present in critical black-on-white crime. Only local media coverage touched on the case you mention.

Information provided about murders by America’s anti-white-culture media, says Dr. Adrian H. Krieg, is almost always wrong. The truth is, blacks account for 12% of the population and are responsible for 2/3 of all murders. (Over the weekend there were 30 shootings in Chicago and 8 people dead – yet all the socialist media is talking about is Ferguson, i.e., politics, communism, taking over private property and redistributing it, about dissolving the power of the white middle class and by diversifying it to the mob culture providing even more central control from the banking establishment. And the Democrats could not be more delighted than that these development are occurring just before election registration campaigns get underway prior to the mid-terms.)

As for the case you mention, here’s Wikipedia:

Channon Gail Christian, 21, and Hugh Christopher Newsom, Jr., 23, were a couple from Knoxville, Tennessee. They were raped, tortured, and murdered after being kidnapped the evening of January 6, 2007 when Christian's vehicle was carjacked.[1][2] Five people were arrested and charged in the case… The state convictions were set aside because of misconduct by the presiding judge, who has since been disbarred. … the orders for retrials of Davidson and Cobbins were subsequently overturned, and their convictions and sentences stand. Coleman and Thomas got retrials which resulted in convictions, but with reduced sentences. Coleman's sentence was reduced to 35 years, and Thomas' sentence was reduced to life in prison with the possibility of parole…

The national news media was criticized for ignoring the story because the victims were white and all five of the suspects were black; most news reports came from local media and online news sites.[45

The house at 2316 Chipman Street was bought by Waste Connections, a national garbage collection company with a depot next door to the house. Waste Connections demolished the house in October 2008, with a spokesperson stating that the company's intent is to replace the house with a memorial dedicated to Newsom and Christian.[53]

An October 16, 2009 article in The Daily Mail stated, "Ironically, the case has now generated more publicity surrounding the furor over whether or not political correctness was behind the US media’s decision to largely ignore the story than it did for the murders themselves."[54]

Give the people of Ferguson what they are demanding, remove all law enforcement.  Good night and good luck.

Obviously just another isolated incident.  There is no organization, no funding, no leadership, no plan for disruption, no legislation about to be proposed to exploit political differences, and so on.  Nope, none of that at all - just another isolated incident with a spontaneous reaction.  Random, isolated events happen like that all the time.  Yep, for sure.

 Mr. Holder,

These are new computerized tanks and their hard drives just crashed.

They most likely will begin to start randomly blowing up black youths.  Sorry 'bout dat.

Dr. Henry Lee on CNN just said that the gun shot to the hand possibly happened when Brown grabbed for the gun…

That’s also why there are no exit wounds on the backs of the arms… the trajectory was ‘laced’ along the length of the arm and then into the chest once (one bullet), not through the arm front to back four times (four bullets).

graze palm –> perforating forearm –> graze elbow –> perforating bicep –> into chest

And we know two of the three bullets were recovered at the “X” marks in the chest and the third from the skull.

He was only shot three times.

This also tends to dispel the rumor that he raised that arm in surrender… he couldn’t have.

 

Dr. Badden said the bullets entered the body twice, so he was shot 3 or 4 times.

 

CNN now reporting friend of the officer’s account of the incident…

The trajectory analysis matches the officer’s account. Brown was grabbing the gun when it went off.

I guess I do not understand.

"They" cancel the curfew, but deploy heavier troops?

That is a recipe for more confrontation folks.

People will just go outside to see what a military checkpoint looks like and then Whamo!

Jesus, I really hope the provocateurs on all sides just stay inside and vape-it-out.

The editorial by Karem in Time over the weekend describes this as a function of rich verses poor.

Regrettably, I don't see that narrative playing out anywhere else.

The Feds want more hysteria to justify all their power.  The liberal race baiters want more division to hate more.  The police just want a fresh pack of donuts and all their toys.  The media want a bloody story.

Meanwhile we all just want a few jobs to have some self worth with our time and life.
