Yeah, okay, sure. I'll bet they also were just trying to get the mosquitoes when they were firing rubber bullets their way, too.

The worst part is that image is from a interview with MLK's niece, and she only takes issue with the "violence" of the protestors and makes no criticism of the police tactics (was that interview from immediately after the riots?).
It's funny/sad that water hoses would be a less-violent way to disperse crowds, but those have no place in militarized police tactics, probably because of the historical optics.

Yup, totally saw Al-Jazeera consenting while running in fear of tear gas! Definitely saw you transporting the film equipment elsewhere too, and not just throwing lights on the ground/turning the camera towards the ground because you don't know how to turn the damn thing off
Catching up on everything from the last few hours, expected response from Obama, and fuck the Police Chief.
"Hey guys, do you see the press over there? They could get hurt from the tear gas and rubber bullets we're shooting at the protestors, let's shoot some their way to tell them to get to safety!"

There hasn't been any actual rioting in days.

Well, I'm sure that Al Jazeera team will be relieved to hear they gave consent to being gassed and having their equipment mangled
Looking forward to hearing their statement, which I am sure will support this account and not contradict it in any way

That smell in the air...it's bullshit.
Y'know, I would say unfucking believable, but it's foxnews, any bullshit they spout isn't shocking. Fuck 'em.

Neenah seriously tried to justify that they need a MRAP?
Hell, Milwaukee and Madison trying to justify one is pushing it. This is straight ridiculous.

Crime reporter for St. Charles, Warren and Lincoln counties. Adjunct professor at Lindenwood. Hockey mom. Hula enthusiast.
Her description.
We Wisconsinite are dangerous people.
Her Twitter says she's the Crime Reporter for St. Louis Post-Dispatch
edit: argh late
There have been instances of looting and assault each night. Nowhere near as widespread as the first night however.
She also has a cover photo for the St Louis Post Dispatch, so I'm assuming she's a press employee. Also, it's Weich.

Man, this raw video of the Chief is a massacre. It's a HUGE 180 from what he was yesterday.

Racism.
Thats not exactly true. People are still throwing bricks, lighting cars on fire, vandalizing/looting stores, ect.

Do they not realize there's footage and pictures of the actual incident, aka the exact opposite of this BS?

Are we just going to let these terrorists free when this is all over? Will there be no repercussions for their actions the last few days? They should all be in fucking jail.

Hey! Keep it civil..
Has nothing to do with the NRA. NRA only speaks up when people are threatening the second amendment. Here the only one that used a gun was the cop. Cops aren't going to lose their guns.
Neenah is my hometown. Its the most quiet and boring town. There's really no need for equipment like that. If they have it, it should just stay in a garage somewhere until the apocalypse because otherwise there will never be the need for it.
I know its part of the Fox Cities area, but Neenah is only like a population of 25,000.

I guess...Just seem they speak up in every more major shooting incident.
Damn. Lol
Come on. If this were the case then news crew would have said so.

No its not. We all know who's best interest they work for.
In those shooting incidents the perpetrator used a gun and people questioned why it was so easy for a civilian to get a gun. In this shooting, a cop is always going to have a gun. So nobody is going to question that or demand guns be taken away from cops.
It's hard to pinpoint what exactly makes it so rage-inducing. I don't think it's the naked racism (even by Fox news's standards), it's the blatant attempt to get a subsection of society to accept outright subjugation.
