Ferguson - Tear gas/smoke and flash gernades - and gunshots heard.

[Ms. Toad]

Glass bottles being thrown & gunshots heard. A reporter just hit in the leg with a rubber bullet.

1. That's crazy, they don't need to use bullets

with all that tear gas.

3. Well what else are they going to do with them????

They have been aching for a situation to use ALL of their toys.

[flamingdem]

5. I agree, it's about wanting to play army

and it's disgusting!

The legacy of this is to take those toys away!!!

7. I hope so...

the little town up the road from us got their tank a few weeks ago. About the same size as Ferguson.

11. Tim Pool says bullets came from protesters

[flamingdem]

12. Oh that's nasty

and the cops could be justified if that element is provoking them at that level.

[rollin74]

15. I should clarify shots fired from people near the protest crowd

not necessarily protesters. certainly not legitimate demonstrators

but shots did not come from police according to tim

[flamingdem]

17. I could see someone doing that

and we're lucky it hasn't happened more or sooner.

Fingers crossed for peace!

[Ms. Toad]

16. It seemed to me he was distinguishing between the protestors in the street -

and somewhere else toward the police. I didn't hear him say the protestors fired the bullets.

4. Shock and Awe in America.

This is just down right crazy. The cops are clearly out of control.

6. Johnson is directing this attack on peaceful protesters. eom

[Ms. Toad]

9. Is it Johnson, or the National Guard?

[MohRokTah]

10. Johnson is on the streets directing the attack against peaceful protesters. eom

[Ms. Toad]

8. Reporters on the ground - live fire. n/t

[joshcryer]

13. Those bullets could be heard wizzing by Tim et al.

I am very familiar with that sound.

[Ms. Toad]

14. At the point at which the police fired tear gas -

The protestors had set up cones in the street (after being told to stay out of the street), and had assembled behind the cones - peacefully, with arms up chanting "Arms up, don't shoot."

There were bottles thrown - it is unclear whether there were any shots fired before the tear gas - but if so, they did not appear to have come from those assembled peacefully in the street.

After multiple rounds of tear gas, lots of rounds of live fire - per the reporter - heading toward the police, but the source was unclear.

[Ms. Toad]

18. Police now going house to house - what they are looking for

hasn't been specified.
