I don't tweet so I don't know what people mean by "It's trending on my feed." but here's what's on the actual What's Trending page.

Probably means it's trending on their tailored trends. It's not trending worldwide though

tailored trends. Worldwide trends are too often 13 year old fangirls of "x" celebirty.

 

[Ravek]

those fucking cops who arrested the reporters weren't wearing badges so they couldn't be identified.

All the internet needs is the face.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Holy shit at that laser sight image.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

This situation is a mess.

At least from what I'm seeing be reported, Ferguson police and the government are pretty shitty.

 

[dripdripsplash]

Did someone really suggest that the Ferguson police were blocking it from trending on Twitter? That kind of epitomizes my point last night about the nonsense being spread around.

Facts about tonight:

A. Cops are dicks, but there is a lot of antagonizing

B. Protest group is smaller tonight. Peaceful groups are out during the day. The night crew is different.

C. There were no gunshots or army coming that scared off the cops. It was a small group of people that refused to turn around when ordered. They may have thrown something.

D. This is all taking place in a very small area. If you move up or down the street a bit it's pretty quiet. The city of Ferguson as a whole is not under siege.

This whole event just seems to be getting blown completely out of proportion on social media an on here. I'm glad the local news has toned it down a bit.

Get a grip.

 

[soundahfekz]

That's mine too. That's what I wondering about.

Seems like you're on worldwide trends. Maybe change to US?

 

[Rembrandt]

Tasers also have laser pointers, people.

But after everything that's happened, are you really surprised nobody is assuming they're pointing a taser at him? I mean, they had a sniper earlier.

 

[benjipwns]

It's to protect their privacy.

 

[everyday math]

Is that allowed?

Police said they won't answer 911 calls.

Don't forget cops illegally telling people to turn off cameras and arresting reporters.

Yea, you know, you're right. It happens every day that protestors and American citizens are tear gassed, told to disperse, despite no curfew being set, violating the bill of rights and constitution, told to stop filming again violating rights, and arrested without cause, and not given any police report or names as required by law.
Just ordinary shit going on.

 

[Sanjuro]

As I mentioned before, I received a Let's Be Cops advert in this thread. I hope this film inspires the next gathering.

Alright guys you heard it hear first, this doesn't matter at all, pack it up!

That was no taser. That was right before the cops started shooting rubber bullets, tear gas, and flashbangs.

@mattdpearce
STL County Police Chief Belmar: "We've done everything we can to demonstrate a remarkable amount of restraint."

@mattdpearce
Chief Belmar tells me, "If there was an easy way to fix this, we would have already solved the problem."

??????????????????????????????????????????

 

[Ninja Scooter]

They sure do seem awfully concerned with serving and protecting themselves.

Isn't this pretty much an oxymoron?

 

[CharminUltra]

I don't understand why people are upset about the laser sight thing. The guy being marked could be throwing dehumanizing stares around for all we know.

What would it take for you not to downplay the severity of a national crisis? This is on the cusp of a military siege and you're in here doing fucking damage control.

 

[TAJ]

Probably means it's trending on their tailored trends. It's not trending worldwide though

If it's tailored to them then isn't it essentially meaningless to anyone else?

 

[Sandfox]

??????????????????????????????????????????

Clearly not using lethal force = restraint.

 

[Kai Dracon]

What about something descriptive like "Ferguson, MO 2014 civil protest [Militarized police action in progress.]"

 

[Gordon Shumway]

#NotAllLasers folks..RELAX with the hyperbole!

 

[Saganator]

Wow so apparently the police can physically assault you and arrest you, but as long as they don't charge you, they can get away with it?

 

[Wario64]

Yep

Glad someone cleared that up.

He means the snipers have been told to hold their fire and their fancy vehicles haven't destroyed any homes yet.

 

[El Odio]

Oh geeze, I've been gone for about an hour and this threads blown up by about 1000 posts. What on earth has happened?

 

[heliosRAzi]

#NotAllLasers folks..RELAX with the hyperbole!

It's OBVIOUSLY a taser. It's just a focused stream of photons.

Well one of the reporters arrested was black. That explains it.

Y'all watchin' this livestream? Police just told everyone to turn off their cameras.

Old stream, it's not live and happened almost a couple hours ago

 

[hokahey]

I'm in St. Louis by the way. And as fucked up as all this is, the situation is being over sensationalized. Sorry if you don't like that. But it's true. This thread reads like the entire god damn town is a war zone with cops somehow blocking Twitter trends. For gods sake. What was it last night? They'd cut the cable in Ferguson? All of this (again, as fucked up as it is) is contained to a pretty small section of town.

I'm not saying what the police are doing is ok, I'm saying this thread is almost like reading anarchy porn. There's some lust for this to be a war that it's simply not.

Well if they can get away with actually killing people then...?
