Riots expected after acquittal: Michael Brown

[Raizinman]

My friends in St Louis LE have told me that they are bringing in extra police help as they expect the acquittal decision to be handed down very shortly.

Officer Darren Wilson who shot and killed Michael Brown on August 9. I'm told that they are trying to time the decision to coincide with very very cold weather as to minimize rioting. People just don't feel like rioting when it is 10 degrees outside.

No idea why they should riot anyway. He attacked a cop.

not sure if naive or trolling.

Riots = Free stuff. Especially helpful if you are not working or doing drugs.

Will they riot in NJ?

They can set extra fires to keep warm.

What a better way to show that, as a race, you are not a bunch of thugs than to riot!

Evidence of no wrongdoing be damned!

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Or we can just turn into a bunch of spazzes.

Will the action be on Live Leak?

Neither. They have no reason to riot. See, what happened here is they assumed that brown was innocent before knowing the facts. The facts came to light, they realized they stuck their foot in it and out of embarrassment, they stuck to their guns as a primal, unintelligent, fear based reaction and that's why they will riot.

time it with black friday when all the poor people will be busy shopping

They should have helicopters with mounted machine guns at the ready, along with soldiers with sniper rifles that can ride in them. Mow down every one of those scumbags if they decide to riot after the verdict. God that'd be beautiful.

Wishing such large scale death is not a sentiment we will host here.

They're going to riot because of mob mentality. It's one thing to be upset about something there are injustices every day but destroying your town solves absolutely nothing. Unfortunately this is what some people do.

They were already angry about police treatment for years. This just set it off.

Same with Rodney King. Yeah he was a dumb ass drunk driver, but the handcuffed 6-man beating did not seem entirely justified to some folks. It was like a last straw for folks already abused and victimized.


The Ferguson protests were inevitable. Just needed a catalyst. That its based on a false pretense really isnt the most important fact here.

LA Riots over Rodney King?

Yup, 92 riots, according to Google.

 

[NoTine42]

St Louis, home of the Cardinals. At least they will riot "the right way"

They should riot if the Grand Jury acquits. It tells them what they have suspected all along, that their police are above the laws, and that protesting is not going to change that.

The Grand Jury is not a criminal trial, it is just a formal hearing to see if there is reason to bring charges against the accused. There are 6 eye witness accounts that claim he killed that kid in cold blood, even if a criminal trial finds that they are mistaken, or that their was unusual circumstances that lead to an acquittal, all a Grand Jury needs is probably cause, the same level of suspicion that the cop needed to stop Brown in the first place. There is undoubtedly enough for probably cause. The very fact that the Grand Jury has taken so long to see all the evidence tells us so.

This extended Grand Jury session has been a ploy to allow tensions to die down so they can sweep it under the rug, except tensions haven't died down and now they just going to sweep it under the rug anyway.
