Two Police Officers Shot Outside Ferguson Police Department: Shooting Caught On Tape

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Just hours after Ferguson, MO police chief Thomas Jackson submitted his resignation - the latest in a string of Ferguson officials to resign in the week since a scathing Justice Department report found widespread racially biased abuses in the city's policing and municipal court, and also found that the city used police as a collection agency, citing traffic citations to black residents to boost city coffers through fines, creating a "toxic environment" - two police Ferguson officers were shot during a protest outside Ferguson, Missouri police headquarters early on Thursday.

The good news is that unlike the fatal double murder of two NYPD officers on December 20, this time both officers are expected to survive. St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar told reporters early on Thursday that a 41-year-old officer from his department was struck in the shoulder and a 32-year-old officer from the nearby Webster Groves Police Department was hit in the face around midnight as the crowd was starting to break up.

Quoted by Reuters, Belmar said that "These police officers were standing there and they were shot, just because they were police officers. I have said all along, that we cannot sustain this forever without problems."

More from Reuters:

Several dozen protesters had gathered in front of the Ferguson police department on Wednesday night, just hours after Police Chief Thomas Jackson resigned.

 

The demonstration started peacefully, but about two dozen officers clad in riot gear later faced off with the protesters. At least two people were taken into custody.

 

Around midnight, gunshots rang out, turning a scene of relative quiet into pandemonium. Many of the remaining few dozen demonstrators fled, some screaming, "They hit a cop," a Reuters photographer said.

 

The line of police scrambled, with many taking defensive positions drawing their weapons and some huddling behind riot shields, according to a video published online.

 

Belmar said the shooter was "embedded" among the demonstrators standing across from the officers.

 

"I don't know who did the shooting to be honest with you right now, but somehow they were embedded in that group of folks," he said.

Or, some folks shot some cops.

As RT further reports, an amateur video has emerged online showing exactly the moment two policemen were shot during a rally near Ferguson police department. The video is a low-resolution one and is more about what one can hear than what one can see.

Sounds of gunfire are distinctly heard, followed by loud screams as well as the groaning of a man who was hit. Ferguson police station is seen and people running away in panic.

The big, tough DOJ. They can't prosecute one theiving banker- yet they can descend on some small town like a flock of vultures to strip the meat off the bones of local employees.

In America it's a crime to be white and defend yourself from a fucking thug.

The DOJ is probably very interested in the type of bullet used so they can label it as a "cop killer" and attampt to ban it.

If I were a novelist I would say this was a false-flag operation designed to keep the hate going. Especially since the original shooting couldn't be goaded into engulfing the entire St. Louis region, despite MSM reporters' and agitators' best efforts.

Yep, it started with the fake "hands up don't shoot" narrative which was created and spread by professional operatives who were shipped in from elsewhere.  It numbs my mind to know that people still believe that this was a grassroots movement.

Black people have been getting slowly ethnically cleansed from Manhattan - where the New York media live - for years. The New York media deflect attention away from what they're doing in Manhattan by focusing attention on places like Ferguson (and getting lots of people killed in the process).

I see nobody's seriously suggesting this was done on Obama's orders as punishment for humiliating him and Holder.

That's a shame, because the House Negro is far more likely to get away with murdering people he and his paymasters hate or fear than Putin is to get away with removing real fifth-columnists posing real threats to the Russian Federation and its people---which, presumably, is Putin's job.

A long time no spectacular event happened a false flag is needed, like the salt in the soup.

I vote for Holder hiring some of his New Black Panther buddies to do the cop shooting and stir the shit-gum stew pot.

Now the FBI should be investigating the shooting of the two white police officers in Fugerson and doing so with all the verve and tenacity they spent making fools of themselves when the thug got shot. Cue a trip to Fugerson by Holder in 3...2...What? Holder is not coming?

When they kick out your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of Ferguson

Shot down on the pavement
Waiting in death row
His game is called survivin'
As in heaven as in hell

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Ferguson

 

with apologies to Joe Strummer

As far as I know, they didn't ask to be kidnapped, shackled and shipped here at gunpoint...

True.  But they're still a cancer.  Can you ust imagine what America would be like if it had no blacks.  Switzerland writ large.

You do realize it's 2015.  No one has brought them tribal baby makers over on slave ships for a long long long long time.  Wake up, tribal men bangin the losing tribes women and moving on to the next.  Like monkeys in the trees.

Wake up.

Spokesman on TV said it was a handgun, and there were flashes from 145 yards away. A headshot from 145 yards with a handgun does not sound like a 'street thug'

Sounds like luck, no more, no less.  An impossible shot.

Or your assumptions are wrong.

This is a little too convenient, considering the state of the nation.

In Chicago, there are black vans that apparently driving around shooting straight-A African American students.

Bloody hell, how do find straight-A African American students?  Actually, is there such a thing? Noamsane?

Yeah I think so. I ran into a bunch in a training class one time. They seemed to be very defensive that I didn't know black history. It seemed to me they were yelling at me. So maybe they get great eduction in certain universities, but maybe they don't mix well with others?

You see a lot of these people going into the Federal Government, but maybe also to teach in Universities, on board positions, think tanks or foundations, local governments?

I guess I'm just guessing now. But does seem like an integration issue if people are yelling at me.

The yelling stems from a sense of entitlement. Not surprising as this has been drummed into them since they were old enough to rob a  news stand.

Those were recruits - patsies are preferred for deniability claims.  Really child's play in my line of work.
