http://news.yahoo.com/police-cruiser-torched-outside-ferguson-city-hall-041411757.htmlWhat a crock of shit:
Protesters had gathered outside the Ferguson Police Department on Tuesday for a second night following a grand jury decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown.
Despite several arrests, there was a far different feel than the previous night, which saw arson, looting and rioting.
Several hours after nightfall, a group of people broke off from the crowd and marched down from the police department. A police car was torched outside city hall. Police quickly used a fire extinguisher to douse the flames released tear gas.
Officers soon took to loudspeakers to tell protesters to leave the streets or face arrest.
SO a 'group' broke off and marched down to where? City Hall?
And they just happened to torch a police car setting outside of city-fucking-hall?
Then the cops suddenly appear with fire extinguishers? and fired tear gas...at who?
Then.......They shut down a peaceful protest at another location.....
This whole M$M reporting is getting transparent.

The narrative is so angled toward the police state.

(36,219 posts)5. I'm getting at the fact that this police force
are controlling assholes. They can't even think how it is their actions cause reactions.
ie, Mike Brown was confronted by Wilson for walking in the street.
Big fucking deal.
Hell, in NY, they allowed protestors to walk in the street.
