For some reason, a police officer threatening to shoot a journalist, even if it's just with a tazer or beanbag round, still strikes me as being incredibly over the top. Since when is "turn the light off or you're getting shot with this" an acceptable police response?
Nothing is irking me more about this right now than people like the president talking about right to "Peaceful protest". The moment a molotov cocktail gets thrown, there is no peaceful protest - and regardless of your original intent you are now a part of a mob that deserves to be shot at IMO.
That has pretty much been what has happened every single night of their "peaceful" protests. In addition to looting and setting fires to buildings.

The PD is telling protesters that it would be nice to just protest during the day because so far daytime protests are mostly love and community and as soon as nightfall comes, shit goes down hill and the crazies come out and lash out under cover of the protests.
If it's the same instance from last night, the cops were actively getting shot at.
The vice news stream from last night had a cop basically apologizing for being forceful to the journalist and cameraman but that there was 'live fire coming at us so you need to get away from us for your own safety.'
I think the cops were trying to push people away because the cops were targets.
Explain to all of us why the police were called by a citizen in the store to report the strong arm robbery.
He may have paid for something, but then it seems like he had an argument with the man behind the counter and grabbed a bunch of additional shit.

Capt. Ron Johnson of the Missouri Highway Patrol, who is in charge of security in Ferguson, said bottles and Molotov cocktails were thrown from the crowd and that some officers had come under heavy gunfire. At least two people were shot and 31 were arrested, he said. He did not have condition updates on those who were shot. Johnson said four officers were injured by rocks or bottles.

I wonder what the rioting is going to be when the officer that shot brown is either not charged or is acquitted at trial? Probably going to find out soon enough.....

The FPD had so far displayed a stunning lack of competence in their duty of providing public safety
Officer Darren Wilson left the state of Missouri last week.
Must be nice to be able to shoot someone and then skip town until whenever. If that had been Wilson's body in the street, Mike Brown wouldn't have made it to trial.

BREAKING REPORT: Officer Darren Wilson Suffered Orbital Blowout Fracture to Eye Socket During Mike Brown Attack

whoa.
if true again leads more evidence to a justified shooting. love to hear what Eric holder finds..
The damage would have had to happen in the car when he grabbed at Brown. Drawing your weapon to make him stop would have been the next step. Once outside the car it is going to become a matter of, did he shoot to defend himself from a charging young man that just broke his eye socket or did he shoot to kill a young man that just broke his eye socket while the young man was surrendering?
