The media wants an all out war just as much as Ferguson/St. Louis cops do.

I swear. I was just watching ABC evening news and the frantic tone of the reader relaying how police are warning that there may be disruptors in Ferguson who might have knives and other weapons seeking to harm people or hackers trying to take down law enforcement systems was just unbelievable. The media and law enforcement are doing the work of every freaking racist hate monger in the nation. This is even more chilling in light of the news last night of Anonymous' discoveries. One can only hope that the Grand Jury gives a reasoned verdict. I am so disgusted with Missouri officials. They certainly have not covered themselves with glory. Most disappointing are Gov. Nixon and Sen. McCaskill. Warm thoughts to the people of Ferguson as they face this new trial ahead.

1. A race war is HUGE RATINGS, we all will watch, and they know it.

The racist Police Chief and DA and Governor want the community to react so they can kill them and have less democratic voters.

If they cant put Black people in prison they will kill them in the streets, gladly.

Yes, I know the Gov is a Democrat, but he isnt really.

7. Sorry, but your exaggeration is not even good hyperbole.

9. Sure thing, you betcha LOL

8. The media does thrive on conflict

That's why FOX encourages and exploits shouting matches. I think to some extent, I do think it's true that they would appreciate the opportunity to exploit violence.
But, I think only people in that insulated circle and members of hate groups really thirst for that.

2. I cannot do anything about the police.

But I can and will turn off the TV. It is off more and more anyway. No, I am not going to watch. It will be covered thoroughly right here on DU. I do not have to listen to the screeching voices. I can be in control of my clicks here.

4. My concern is not so much with you, but with the

endless number of relatively uninformed idiots who will take this crap at first glance without looking into it further and just react.

5. Look at what the officials and police are telling the residents there

Gun Sales Boom Ahead of Ferguson Ruling




In a neighboring town, Berkeley, officials this week passed out fliers urging residents to be prepared for unrest just as they would a major storm — with plenty of food, water and medicine in case they're unable to leave home for several days

6. Exactly what I was referring to. David Muir's delivery of this sort of

provocative information was irresponsible and not balanced by speaking with residents of the area.
