Protesters Storm Governor's Office In Downtown St. Louis, Demand Removal Of National Guard

Tyler Durden's picture




 

At first the rioting was only in the "sleepy" St. Louis suburb of Ferguson. Now, the angry crowds have moved on to downtown St. Louis where  moments ago a group of angry protesters rallied at Kiener Plaza.

 

... and then marched on to Governor Nixon's office chanting "the National Guard has got to go."

 

Unfortunately for the protesters, they hadn't made a prior appointment, and were therefore not admitted into the building:

 

... while several people from the crowd were promptly arrested, such as this little old lady, who apparently is 90 year old Hedy Epstein, a Holocaust survivor.

And it's not even dark yet.

Meanwhile in Ferguson, things are just warming up.

 

With the National Guard deploying....

 

And watching and waiting:

 

Even if not many others are allowed to...

 

Presenting public enemy #1 (aside from Putin of course):

I thought Rican said "Back Burn"...

Which kind of makes sense if you have too much government that doesn't give a damn about Accounting Rules, Budgets, Financial Ratings that Have Integrity, Standard Financial Instruments to provide visibility & Transparency, and oh Fraud on Wall Street where they have a Monopoly, have paid for US Congress & US Presidency, and oh we lose more small banks every year as the monopoly rolls on with ZIRP & QE.

Back Burn Government, it might work but not really sure how you would do it. Maybe Burn the US Federal Income Tax Code Book First & then Burn the Lobbyist starting with the Foreign Lobbyist.

Mon, 08/18/2014 - 19:44 | 5111658 arby63

Close but I am not sure it's exactly the same:

"...The Boston Massacre, known as the Incident on King Street by the British,[2] was an incident on March 5, 1770, in whichBritish Army soldiers killed five male civilians and injured six others. British troops had been stationed in Boston, capital of theProvince of Massachusetts Bay, since 1768 in order to protect and support crown-appointed colonial officials attempting to enforce unpopular Parliamentary legislation. Amid ongoing tense relations between the population and the soldiers, a mob formed around a British sentry, who was subjected to verbal abuse and harassment. He was eventually supported by eight additional soldiers, who were subjected to verbal threats and thrown objects. They fired into the crowd, without orders, instantly killing three people and wounding others. Two more people died later of wounds sustained in the incident.

The crowd eventually dispersed after Acting Governor Thomas Hutchinson promised an inquiry, but reformed the next day, prompting the withdrawal of the troops to Castle Island. Eight soldiers, one officer, and four civilians were arrested and charged with murder. Defended by the lawyer and future American President, John Adams, six of the soldiers were acquitted, while the other two were convicted of manslaughter and given reduced sentences. The men found guilty of manslaughter were sentenced to branding on their hand. Depictions, reports, and propaganda about the event, notably the colored engraving produced byPaul Revere (shown at right), further heightened tensions throughout the Thirteen Colonies...."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Massacre )

 

Nevertheless, this cop may in fact be arrested. It's hard to say at this point. We just don't have all the information about the event and the shooting itself. Do we?

I tend to think this is already taking a life of its own beyond the Ferguson shooting (see above). 

How do we reconcile the obvious abuses:

1. Cops wildly out of control across the country.

2. Young blacks wildly out of control across the country?

Got a solution for that one? Sounds to me like a real recipe for a big fight. A really big fight that will change the face of the nation and the world--it's that big. 

So be it. I'm long on the necessities of realistic survival.

Cop won't be arrested.   Police shootings happen.  Hundreds of times a year in this country.  Police get shot a couple hundred times a year.

There's no law that says it's acceptable to use deadly force for a single round, but not for more than one.  That's just not a law.  This is not an opinion.

Was it excessive force?   good luck with that one actually.  What are we going to do?  Police can only have guns with three rounds?  

Was it an adrenalin charged reaction?   Of course.  So is a school yard scuffle.  Yes, police are held to a high standard, and I imagine if this officer had to do it all over again he would handle this situation very different.  But that's not really the point.

Mon, 08/18/2014 - 20:17 | 5111890 Quinvarius
Quinvarius's picture

The Red Coats were arrested and tried for capital murder is a good place to start.

1.  The cops need to lose all their army gear and be re-trained into public peace officers.  A lot of them are just mentally unfit for the job.  Any cop who was out there aiming a rifle at the crowd also needs a psych examination.

2.  A start would be giving the whole city, not just the blacks, justice by arresting that GD cop.  The trial will determine his guilt.  But clearly there is evidence to arrest him.  I am not saying I would ever want to live in black Ghetto.  But this time they are right.  And right is right.

Overall, this country needs much more than that, but I am not writing a book.

DOJ, COMMUNISTS, NEW BLACK PANTHERS HIJACK FERGUSON PROTESTS Leader of militant group pictured coordinating with police

by PAUL JOSEPH WATSON AUGUST 18, 2014

A combination of the Department of Justice, Communist agitators and members of the radical New Black Panther party have descended on Ferguson, Missouri to hijack what were largely peaceful protests that have turned increasingly violent in recent days.

Black Panther Leader Malik Shabazz was recorded leading a group of protesters in a chant aimed at Darren Wilson, the officer that shot 18-year-old Michael Brown. “What do we want?” asks Shabazz, to which the crowd responds, “Darren Wilson.” “How do we want him?” asks Shabazz. While some in the crowd respond with “indicted,” others are heard to chant, “dead!”

While many, including members of the original Black Panthers, regard the New Black Panthers as a divisive, militant and occasionally violent organization, police in Ferguson seemingly have no problem working with the group, as shown in the image below of Captain Ronald Johnson coordinating with Shabazz.

 

According to the SPLC, Shabazz’ description as a “community organizer” belies the fact that he is a “racist black nationalist with a long, well-documented history of violently anti-Semitic remarks and accusations about the inherent evil of white people,” and is “particularly skilled at orchestrating provocative protests.”

Shabazz’ involvement with Johnson is strange given that the FBI simultaneously issued a warning that New Black Panthers had arrived in the area and were “advocating violence against police.” Another member of the group, Chawn Kweli, also posted an incendiary message on Facebook which stated, “This is the hour all the greats promised. If you die, die like a warrior. I’ll see you on the ground.”

This started off life as a demand of a remedy for injustice.

It will end, however, in electioneering propaganda for Red Team\Blue Team. Only a matter of time before the polarization process is complete, and Fox News takes one side, with NYT taking the other.

Truth, as usual, will be the victim.

There are plenty of EXTREMELY POOR white folks in this once-great nation. They aren't exactly happy campers either. I seriously have to state the obvious: The only difference is that young black men think they can get away with almost anything. When it doesn't work? RACISM.

I hope this starts a revoution, if anything perhaps it would finally end the financial system.

 

I think the solution from the start was obvious - do nothing! The people wouldn't have responded the way they have if the military police hadn't of been brought in. Then you've got the Nat Guard coming in and it moves to STL - have these people not figured out the best thing was to do nothing?

 

If People had been allowed to protest in peace at the very beginning none of this would have happened. It would have burned itself out after a few hours or days and that would have been it. Now it's a warzone because of the way the state responded. If they stop treating these people like enemies they'll stop acting like ones.

"The people wouldn't have responded the way they have if the military police hadn't of been brought in."

Exact same way Bundy Ranch started — overmilitarized government goons tasering cowboys and bullying their wives and mothers.

"...have these people not figured out the best thing was to do nothing?"

Or have they figured out that ordinary people, white and black, all over this country are so fed up that the "authorities" can easily set things off at whatever time and place they choose.

No, what you missed was some reading comprehension.

Since I was so considerate to excerpt exactly the part of the timeline of these events I was responding to, try reading that very first line again, perhaps slower this time, and you might understand that the looting has nothing to do with my point, which I trust was obvious to readers with average or better reading comprehension skills:

(1) there was an officer-involved shooting incident, followed by a peaceful demonstration

(2) the authorities responded with excessive intimidation, just as they did at Bundy Ranch...

(3) …where they might have learned that it doesn't take much to set people off these days

Well, here it is. 

Some of us, including myself, did not jump on the Alex Jones 'hate the police' bandwagon.  I was literally on the edge of Ferguson when I was in St. Louis three days before this took place.  I live not far from a slew of burnt out urban areas. 

The fact is that if the false equilibrium of EBT, TANF, Sec 8, drug peddling, etc. cracks up, this will be in every metro area.

FYI the government absolutely has the right (and duty) to suspect press, assembly, etc. in a riot.  That is what the local cops wanted to do; they knew that unless this was crushed immediately, this would spin into an endless morass as dickless politicians allowed uncivilized hordes to resume burning things down.

All the evidence shows the police officer was rightly defending himself against a giant proven robber.  Get ready y'all, this should be interesting.

I guess you never heard about all of the corrupt cops in LAand their endless abuses, or NY and their famous crooked cops that were not only murdering but profiting substantially. And then we have had the heavy had of the FBI  taking some extraordinary measures early in the last century to stop crime waves. There have been lots of abuses of police power for eternity. Four dead in Ohio? There has been no extraordinary crime here regarding police action. We don't know about the actual killing yet. But Jesus. Look at history and seek some context here. We have real problems and its not the militarization of the cops. Its why they think they need to be militarized that worries me, and the shit going on right now is not stemming that urge at all. Obama has set back race relations 25 years while they are also demonizing and building fear that anyone who actually believes in the constitution is a real threat. They are building a civil war and the cops are but another pawn.

You are familiar with George Washington's crushing Shay's Rebellion, right?  And President Adams' extreme restrictions on Anti-Federalist agitators, right?

Furthermore, you do realize that the Founders intended the Constitution to restrict federal powers, but leave local policing up to the constituent states, right? 

You can't have it  both ways.  Either we want to get back to America as it was, but accept the fact that the so-called incorporation doctrine never existed (except, ironically, perhaps the right to bear arms, which is the one Amendment that the SC refuses to 'incorporate.)

If supporting a legitimate government is 'statist', well whatever.  I support natural rights and an orderly society so we can create, innovate, and work hard.  Libertarian wet dreams of anarchic-micro government are the creations of think tanks funded by transnational corporations, who want to rob people of any independent commerce.

If people stopped bitching about problems and just rolled up their sleeves and made the best of a situation, they might find they could become good entrepreneurs.

I can give you some prove, being a white blond woman with green eyes, northern italian DNA. I have children with native south american man: They're all white, black eyes and hair. Very smart, intelligent children, excelent universitary performance, caring, sensitive, generous people. All my kids can understand and speak Spanish, Italian, English. One, also Latin and Greek. I'd said that as we do with livestock, mixing races improves the specie. Good,free education (education in freedom), lots of books, healthy food and little television can do as well.  :)

There is no superiority of a race but there are superior cultures. Cultures exist and are perpetuated within some of these self segregated communities. My culture would tell me that if I was part of a public demonstration where people of my culture were pillaging and throwing fire bombs I would attempt to stop them or go home. This is not their culture's choice or value system. People who do not own or earn put no value on material things so it makes it easy to destroy. We value what we earn and work for, like freedom.

Y'all in this thread need to read up some on human biological diversity and how it makes us all different. There are very real differences between races that are encoded in our DNA. The genetic distance to the next closest species (chimps) is about 1.5% of DNA, and between the various human races is as much as 0.5% of DNA - on a relative basis, compared to the chimp, that's actually a lot. If you marry someone of another race and the kids happen to look like you, they will still carry half the genes of both parents.

Try Googling "Race and intelligence" as well.

The truth is out there, much of it self-evident. You just don't want to accept.

Oldwood, culture doesn't just exist in a vacuum or fall out of the sky. Culture is a reflection of the people that developed it. Some types of people produce consistently successful cultures and some produce consistently poor ones. Therefore, looking at it from a long-term perspective, over the centuries: superior culture = superior race. End of story.

No "superior" debate must end with "End of story" sentence.

There are no "superior" cultures but "dominant" ones. Shloud I tell you what the white people has been doing for centuries to black people? (Starting with slaverry). To native americans? What white people has been doing to WHITE people?

There's only one enemy of freedom and evolution, and has nothing to do with race. White people should have left the black continent, Africa, for the africans, for a start. Arab lands to the arabs, and so on.

Some folks, however, think the whole World (white, black or wathever) belongs to them and it isn't so.

Yeah, sure, tell me all about it. Should I tell you what blacks have been doing to other blacks for centuries? Should I tell you what the Mongols did to the Persians and Arabs? What's your point? Every race/ethnic group has visited violence on others at some point, and has also been on the receiving end at some point. Blacks should have left the Hottentots in South Africa alone too. When I said "superior" I didn't mean morally superior. I meant, as you already pointed out, "dominant" and "more successful".

I sure wish we had all of these pacifists on the nations police force. Those pure of heart and secure in mind to only act in the most rational ways. Upon seeing a very large man rushing at you, in an act of peace you drop your weapon after noticing his lack thereof (using your xray vision to instantly scan him for weapons) and kindly allow him to beat you to death. This is what we need for cops....Jesus Christ himself. Always offering the benefit of the doubt.

Besides we know these evil racist murderous Ferguson cops have a long history of this kind of abuse. They have notoriously murdered thousands...no hundreds...no, a few....well actually they have never had any police shooting in Ferguson...but they surely wanted to...you can tell by just looking at them! Demand justice now, and can you make me a good deal on that blueray player in your trunk?

How many cops are killed every year and how many are killed by cops? How many times has anyone been shot by a Ferguson cop...ever?

Are you really telling me that the looters and destroyers are the decent people? really? Did you get hit hard on the head by a violent cop when you were a child?

My advise is stay in your safe culturally diverse Canadian neighborhood and try not to tell others how to live.

Maybe you should go back to GB and check out all those nicely diversified neighborhoods they have now...but be careful because some of them only honor sharia law and you may need to cover your head and protect your throat. And be sure to smile for the cameras.

And by the way, I really do appreciate the help.

Never felt safer. Everyone knew everyone local - undercover cops stood out like sore thumbs.

You are correct about the cameras.

So the stories about Muslim areas where the cops don't go, where they have their own sharia courts is all false? So you are saying the GB has no immigration problems and associated race tensions in that regard?

The British Crime Survey reveals that in 2004, 87,000 people from black or minority ethnic communities said they had been a victim of a racially motivated crime. They had suffered 49,000 violent attacks, with 4,000 being wounded. At the same time 92,000 white people said they had also fallen victim of a racially motivated crime. The number of violent attacks against whites reached 77,000, while the number of white people who reported being wounded was five times the number of black and minority ethnic victims at 20,000. Most of the offenders (57%) in the racially motivated crimes identified in the British Crime Survey are not white. White victims said 82% of offenders were not white.

These statistics show that ethnic minorities are overrepresented as perpetrators of racially motivated crime.[who?] Police and media face difficulties in being perceived to offer support to the far-right by reporting racist crimes towards white people, an ideal which has been criticised by Members of Parliament,.[who?] As a result, cases of hate crimes against white victims often aren't reported sufficiently, an example being the murder of Ross Parker.[6][7][8][9]

The issue of Muslim men sexually abusing and exploiting white children has been criticised by some[weasel words] Members of Parliament[who?], who believe that political correctness prevented police and social workers from taking action.[10] Although Muslim community leaders have stated that the crimes were racially motivated, some[weasel words] politicians have denied the issue.[11]

How is it "Just" to round up and cordon the two, using military equipment on the streets of America, then classify all as criminals and thugs?

Suppose some BLM badge "felt" threatened by a cowpoke twice his size in the Bundy standoff, and emptied a magazine into him? Thus turning the entire government force on all the others?

Not all that hypothetical, it could have very easily happened. I've spent enough time with some of those rowdy's at bars out in Tonopah and Fallon to know that.

The important thing is that IF we thought an injustice had occurred the first thing we would do is start burning things and pillaging stores,and when the cops showed up we would complain about their excessive force...or at least that is what I would do...really, I mean its about justice,right? The last thing we would want to do is act responsible and try to find out what really happened. I mean we have an agenda, a principle at stake that says the cops are the bad guys and we are protected minorities with generations of oppression to take regress on...oh shit, I'm not a minority...I forgot! As an old white guy they can shoot my ass off, call me a right wing extremist threat to the nation, pile my body with hundreds of my brothers in the ditch and celebrate freedom and the american way later.

And just as a side light, nothing really important except the statistics of violent crime

Among racial and ethnic groups, blacks are over-represented among gun homicide victims; blacks were 55% of shooting homicide victims in 2010, but 13% of the population.

By contrast, whites are underrepresented; whites were 25% of the victims of gun homicide in 2010, but 65% of the population. For Hispanics, the 17% share of gun homicide victims was about equal to their 16% proportion of the total population."

Pew research.

After researching the FBI numbers for “Suicide of a Superpower,” this writer concluded: “An analysis of ‘single offender victimization figures’ from the FBI for 2007 finds blacks committed 433,934 crimes against whites, eight times the 55,685 whites committed against blacks. Interracial rape is almost exclusively black on white — with 14,000 assaults on white women by African Americans in 2007. Not one case of a white sexual assault on a black female was found in the FBI study.”
