made sure to continually show the one protester throwing a molotov cocktail, and a police official assured us that the police officer involved in the shooting had to go to the hospital because his face was swollen, obviously someone had hit him in the face. I'm not in the U.S., and am surprised how invisible this story is in the international news that I've seen.

I was speechless listening to him, he was over the top defending everything the cops did. He even said we don't know what the journalists did to be arrested!!!! like they were doing something illegal

simply unfucking believable

What he didn't say is why we don't know the name of the cop who murdered young Brown.
Who gave them the authority to stop the protests last night? There was no curfew? Who told them they could close that restaurant or arrest journalists and then tell camera men and women to turn off their cameras.

They should have tried that shit with the armed Bundy.

But plenty of cops defended Justin Volpe in the Abner Louima beating, too. There is virtually no action of a cop that will not be defended by other cops right up until it is absolutely beyond defense.

They are laughing so hard they can't see because of the tears in their eyes. (sarcasm or is it?)
