Why are protestors shooting each other, I hope it was an accident. 
I know the feeling man, but you have to remember, life isn't exactly black and white (no pun intended) They have white faces out there willing to die for the cause as well as black ones.
CS Smoke is TEAR GAS
guess Capt J is just a figure head, he thought he was running something
CS Smoke is TEAR GAS
"CS gas or 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile is a tear gas that sometimes is used as a riot control agent."

“There was no convincing them”: Police use tear gas on curfew breakers
Posted 12:15 am, August 17, 2014, by Chris Smith and Vera Culley, Updated at 11:20pm, August 16, 2014
FERGUSON, MO (KTVI) – Police in Ferguson were forced to use tear gas on a crowd of protesters who refused to obey the midnight curfew.
Around 12:30, the large group staged near West Florissant and Chambers used cars to create a barricade. Police officers gave several warnings before they put on gas masks.
About 12:40 a.m., officers started moving slowly toward the group and released tear gas. That’s when several shots rang out. There are unconfirmed reports that one person was shot during the incident, but police did not fire shots.
St. Louis Alderman Antonio French tweeted picture of people he says were refusing to leave. French says when the tear gas was deployed, he and Mo. Senator Jamilah Nasheed got into his car and rolled up the windows. French was later escorted from the scene by police.
He told FOX 2’s Chris Hayes that the group of protesters had no intentions on leaving.
“We working on that particular group a lot today, but there was no convincing them,” French said of the protesters.
The crowd seemed to disperse after the tear gas. Police remained on the scene lined around business in the area, protecting property.
Authorities say people in the area do not want a repeat of the violence and looting that occurred overnight Saturday.

"I was watching that feed when that happened (MSNBC). That was a storefront, and that's a mannequin"
This the type of bullshit being reported that keeps this going night after night. Adding fuel to the fire.
Everybody trying to be a part of the story but in a few weeks they will be at home and THAT PART OF Ferugson will still be fucked.
I am impressed!!!, to think Keke Palmer reps for STL more than fucking Nelly, and she is not even from there. Good for her, and fuck all these fake gangster rappers (not saying Nelly is a gangster rapper) who want to bang on wax, but don't show up for a real fight. Leaving the heavy lifting to Black women.
I am so proud of these people for standing the fuck up for what is RIGHT and JUST.
Conquerers only understand force. You can't leave your defense on the field all game we need some offense too...a field goal at least
Pets never realize the owner only treats them like family because they're obedient. Growl at him or bite and he'll put you down like a wild animal. I see and hear a lot of pets barking for their owner this week.
The denial is appalling, this is a system that has been devised and re-tooled to DISRESPECT you as a person of color. Stop making exudes and defending it....pets

Captain Ron Johnson unhappy with Ferguson press conference
Missouri Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson, who is now in charge of security in Ferguson, Missouri, is unhappy with Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson's press conference this morning:
Captain Johnson then went on to say he was holding another press conference, inclusive of some of the protest leaders, so they could ask the questions they need to ask.
Watch it here!

He's trolling hard too. He should have long been banned.
I told y'all 20 pages ago to put him on ignore. Y'all didn't learn anything when he was being an ass during the Trayvon/Zimmerman hearings. If you aren't going to put him on ignore, report the posts.
You can't keep peace with a pig that will get out of the car and shoot you down in the street...
This is a fucking agent ass Cac!
WILL SOMEBODY STAND UP AND BAN THIS FOOL?????
Why would you expect a cop to give a shit about your bamma life if your own people don't give a shit? So act accordingly.
You new niggas are weak mentally, sensitive and act like bitches. Shit I'm seeing these niggas do would not fly in other generations.
Sure there are hundreds of narratives of police abuse of power, I get that. However there are hundred of narratives of niggas treating each other like shit, and you expect a motherfucker with a badge to do differently
A war nigga please, are you a vet? Have you seen a real war?
Did your uncle try to fight this police officer? Was he smelling like weed? Did he act a fool in the car? So what he got pulled over, hell I want to know to why a old ass nigga driving around in a masseriti.
Yes, I've seen war fuck ass crakka...
Up close and personal...
Even that doesn't compare to the war I've come home to: The subversive WAR ON BLACK MALES...
MODS WHAT THE FUCK??? BAN THIS FOOL!!!
THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC SERVICE BOARD. THIS IS A SUBSCRIPTION BOARD.
I agree with this poster. Ya'll Mods need to ban these fools. Real shit. Alexandernevermind and JamesAtl are trolling like a muhfucka...

One last diary:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/...da-yeah-THAT-Miranda-was-a-hero-or-a-criminal
It's been said that the United States Supreme Court could never overturn Miranda v. Arizona because it's become such a fixture in American pop culture. From countless TV shows and movies, most of us could recite the so-called Miranda warnings by heart: "You have the right to remain silent, anything you say may be used against you in a court of law," etc.
When I took a bar review course many years ago, the instructor related how his mother - who knew almost nothing about criminal law or procedure - called him after hearing that Ernesto Miranda had been killed, and her comment was something along of the lines of "Isn't that awful, after all that good man did for the rest of us?" Of course, the truth is that Mr. Miranda may not have been a model citizen, but the point to our constitutional rights (in Miranda's case, the Fifth Amendment) isn't based on the guilt or innocence of the suspect.
And we should try to remember that in the Michael Brown case.
Today, the police released information that Mr. Brown may have been involved in a robbery before he was shot (a robbery because there was the alleged use of force in the theft of some cigars). People are getting rather worked up about whether:
a. The police are making it all up (including, apparently, surveillance video that appears to depict Mr. Brown),
b. Why the police waited 6 days,
c. Why the police haven't arrested Mr. Brown's alleged accomplice, and so on.
To all of that I say, who cares??
The facts about the alleged robbery will eventually sort themselves out. But does any of that matter? No, because whatever Michael Brown did or didn't do with respect to those cigars and that store, we need to know what happened immediately before he was shot. And so far, there are no facts that suggest that the police were justified in shooting him.
That's the issue that matters and that's the issue that we need to focus on.
We don't talk about giving up our Miranda rights based on whether Ernesto Miranda was a good guy or not. Constitutional rights protect everyone, from saint to serial killer. And one of those constitutional rights is not being shot dead when you're not posing a threat to anyone.
So, resist getting worked up about whether the photos show someone in shorts or long pants, sneakers or flip flops, questions about why the police waited to release the information and all the rest of it.
Honor Michael Brown - and his family - by keeping the focus on the police's conduct in shooting Mr. Brown. And no matter what happens to the police officer who pulled the trigger, working on trying to make sure it doesn't happen to the next Michael Brown.
