The police report from Ferguson is reporting molotov cocktails.

I have 4 livestreams up from various sources and all of them have said at various points that no one had seen any. Many even reported the exact opposite. Anyone have an idea whether the police reports are true?

1. At this point

I don't think any police reports have any credibility.

2. I would agree with that.

This was a clear statement though, leading me to think they might have been telling the truth.

That said, I'm gonna go with the journalists until otherwise proven.

3. I'd seen those livestreams and 2 or 3 journalists saying there

were no molotov cocktails. One journalist (Marcus?), in the midst of the teargas, had footage before and during. No molotov cocktails.

4. That's what I heard too.

Thanks for the info.

7. so have the outside agitators come to town or is this still locals? nt

8. He did say it was premeditated and coordinated.

Fact is the vast majority clearly aren't doing anything.

9. Chris Hayes said there were

Molotov cocktails but it was a small group responsible, as with the looters.

Dunno what the problem is, though. Victoria Nuland said hundreds of people throwing them in Kiev were "peaceful protesters".

Anyway, I think some shit stirrers cruised into Ferguson to discredit the genuine outrage being expressed without violence.

10. Do you have a link to Chris Hayes' statement?

I wouldn't be surprised. The locals seem pretty calm. The chanting of "hands up don't shoot" was powerful.

13. No, sorry, he said on TV nt

12. Chris didn't get there until late so he is reporting hearsay. nt

11. Same here. Was watching live streams before anything happened

and nobody knew why the police started in.
