I'm trying not to cry.

What a fucking failure. What an embarassment.

The fucking WORLD is watching. How DARE we sit on our high horse and talk about human fucking rights violations.

I know how you feel. It's getting harder and harder to keep calm.

This is outrageous and surreal.

 

[CoolOff]

I know you've been banned, but you should know and others that rubber bullets aren't actually made of rubber. They're regular bullets with a little rubber around it so it doesn't actually penetrate you, but you can get serious injuries and even die from them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_bullet

I did not know this, holy shit.

 

[Esch]

At this point, with this coverage, God would have to descend down on this shit to protect them

Nothing's going to happen, breh. They'll say that things got a little out of hand, someone threw X and the police felt threatened, and everyone involved will get off with paid vacations.

I'm back in the shock state. I'm sure the tears are coming.

You know you've fucked up when people in Gaza are tweeting to you with tips for dealing with tear gas.

...fuck

What is going on in StL? I thought it was just about a kid getting shot, but from the last few pages it seems like its become more than that. I need a Lionel Mandrake on this one.

Racial tensions that have been boiling since 2008 are finally coming out.

 

[captive]

All this because a people want justice over an unlawful killing.

Fixed that for you.

 

[Volimar]

All this because a bottle was thrown.

The match in the room full of gasoline.

All this because a bottle was thrown.

They were looking for any excuse.

MSNBC is covering this. They're showing the livestream stuff.

Ok, why can't I find it?

This guy is on MSNBC

Oh god, the comments on that stream.

This is why the world sucks.

 

[Trouble]

They were looking for any excuse.

Clearly.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

How the fuck do you justify firing tear gas into a crowd of people holding up their hands in protest?

That bottle, man, is fucking dangerous. Some serious life threatening shit.

[everyday math]

MSNBC is doing a damn good job discussing this right now.

 

[Sanjuro]

Alex Jones stream is back.

 

[Nanashrew]

I have no words to the tragedy that's going on... I just kept seeing this news pop-up over and over on my Twitter feed today and this is just insane.

 

[Cheddahz]

Alex Jones stream is back.

link please?

 

[DrForester]

Have to say, I am surprised the internet detectives haven't identified the officer yes. Not that it's a good thing if they did. I would be all for them keeping his name a secret for now if I had any faith that there was a legitimate investigation being done.

 

[Sylverstone14]

That is no longer current.

thanks

Yeah, I realized that and quickly rephrased it to a question.

 

[Chezzymann]

So what's going on? Quick summary of the whole story? This thread is moving at lighting speed.

 

[LiK]

Ok, why can't I find it?

got cable?

 

[Malyse]

I don't know who controls this account but grade A trolling

@DPRK_News 32m
Minister of People's Security Jae San-Hwok condemns brutal and high-handed atrocities against peaceful protesters in U.S. Missouri province.

Times like this, you gotta laugh or cry.

Come on man, I wanna believe. ;_;

 

[Team Top Hat]

Wanting to police and "fix" other countries yet can't even fix ours. What a joke. This is embarrassing.

@WesleyLowery
6 hours ago Ryan Reilly introduced himself to me in a McDonalds. Then we ended up in jail. Wonder what he's got planned for our second date

Bless you, Wesley.

 

[Cheddahz]

So what's going on? Quick summary? This thread is moving at lighting speed.

cops basically made ferguson into a warzone (shooting rounds of tear gas and rubber bullets into crowds) and telling people to turn off cameras (which they are not allowed to do)

 

[LyleLanley]

Good to see that the White House communications department is taking this seriously.

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

All this because a bottle was thrown.

Yup

 

[Htown]

this lady on MSNBC has some good points

they didn't have the city council put a curfew into effect earlier, announce it to everyone and have the civilian leadership say "hey be home after X to calm things down"

the cops just rolled out like it was martial law and did what they wanted

Typical. The Soviets used to troll us like that during the Civil Rights Movement.

Meanwhile, at least some national politicians are beginning to speak up:

@repjustinamash: Images & reports out of #Ferguson are frightening. Is this a war zone or a US city? Gov't escalates tensions w/military equipment & tactics.

^republican representative from michigan

Also I've seen tweets from claire mccaskill (missouri senator) saying that she was working the phones, and had contacted the civil rights division at the dept. of justice...

 

[MrSaturn99]

Anyone got a link to the MSNBC stream?

 

[Mister Negative]

They are using fucking LRADs.

that's disgusting.

 

[Volimar]

Alex Jones stream is back.

Sorry to ask, but link?

Saw this too. Appreciate the sentiment, but get the fuck out of here with politics right now Castro.

 

[everyday math]

Holy crap at msnbc right now. Usually I don't really care for news channels. But god damn. This lady is laying it down.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

You know the people that think Obama is a lizard person and that he's going to send people to die in FEMA death camps? Alex Jones is their messiah.

LOL. Glad somebody fucking said it. Fuck this dude..don't care he might be the dude on the right side today! He's the fuck you don't want on your side tomorrow..y'all know better.

Spoiler

Well, SOME of y'all..

 

[DopeToast]

So I'm watching this Mike Brown stream and I am legitimately terrified for these people. Something bad is going to happen, and it's going to be right on camera.

 

[commedieu]

cant take this anymore. im out.

 

[gngf123]

Trying to keep up with this from the UK.

Honestly can't believe what I'm hearing/reading.

 

[demon]

got cable?

I read "putting up their livestream" to mean putting it up on the internet.

 

[SlowRevolution]

this feels so surreal

 

[BlackGhost]

Is the mike brown stream back ?

 

[TAJ]

Police are refusing to identify themselves when journalists ask for names and badge numbers.

Journalists: "If you weren't doing anything wrong then you'd cooperate."

 

[Badosh]

Is the mike brown stream back ?

when i go to it, it plays a rewind of the last 30 minutes or so of their stream.

 

[LiK]

I read "putting up their livestream" to mean putting it up on the internet.

sorry, i'm watching the tv broadcast and they were showing the internet feed.

 

[DrForester]

That bottle, man, is fucking dangerous. Some serious life threatening shit.

Spoiler

/sarcasm

Once something is thrown (assuming something was thrown), I am totally OK with them using the tear gas to disperse people.

The rubber bullets thing is totally shameful though.

 

[Team Top Hat]

Link to MSNBC stream?

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Been sat here speechless watching the developments in the last few hours. What the fuck. Don't even know what to say.

 

[heliosRAzi]

Link to MSNBC stream?

No stream. Gotta have cable.
