I'm done with looking at Fox News even as a curiosity after this:

State cops took over, so it's going to be them.
What's been the general reaction so far to the revelations that Brown robbed that store, has a lot of photos throwing gang signs, has photos with guns and lots of cash, and has a rap sheet? Obviously, he didn't deserve to die but has the sentiment changed at all in the mainstream media? I actually don't have cable so I can't watch CNN, Fox News, or MSNBC.
I imagine that like %75 of American's have photos of them holding money and guns while making poses with their hands so that's hardly damnable evidence toward anyone.
Just the leadership though, right?

um what happened tonight ?! I come home and there is sporadic looting
He hasn't been charged with anything, why would they be?
There were State Police deployed via order of the Governor. Obviously, there are still going to be Ferguson, St. Louis, St. Louis County police too.
Of course. They're paid trolls. It's best not to pay them any mind.
EDIT: I get what you're saying. You quoted one part but responded to the other.
I mean that tweet, I didn't want to quote the pic.
Sam Jackson has already been quoted as saying "I'm tired of these monkey finder looters at this monday friday protest!"
That kind of trolling I don't mind, that's just harmless trolling. Inappropriate as all hell, but harmless. It's not like the people spamming comments about how Micheal Brown was a thug or spamming racial slurs.
Go here for the direct stream:

Nevermind, he's shutting down for now.
EDIT: The YouTube multicast explains how that one guy's twitter got so many followers so quickly.
It's not harmless. They're spamming, but that sentiment is grounded somewhere.
He's doing a really good job too. Not jumping to conclusions or leading the protesters when he interviews them. I approve.
Also, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
Agreed. One of the worst online experiences I've had in that regard in a while.
He was pretty amazing throughout. He's a camera guy, he doesn't necessarily have to be an objective journalist, but he did a fantastic job.

That stream was amazing, I really have to commend Tim Pool and his colleagues for the work they did.
I read that in Sam Jackson's voice.

This is an idiotic tweet. With such protests going on there is a higher chance that someone will try to harm the officer. For his safety and to preserve general order it behooves everyone to move him to an undisclosed location outside the general area. Do you really want this tragedy to escalate to two murders or do you want actual justice to occur?

85% of all stats posted on the internet are fake.
Just because you're an LEO you don't get automatic immunity from prosecution.

It's ridiculous. It makes it sound like they're helping him escape capture or something. If he was to be brought up on charges or any other discipline they would be obliged to bring him back.
I don't think it would benefit anyone for him to be in the middle of this right now.
He hasn't been charged with anything yet. He's not on the run or in hiding from being brought to prosecution.
I wouldn't take that tweet literally.
Honestly I would be worried about his family more than the cop. I am glad they have been moved, but I bet the authorities (even FBI) know exactly where was moved to.
...what does moving a person out of potential harms way have to do with immunity to prosecution?
Of course. Its another reason why the tweet was grounded in ignorance.
actually justice would be to prosecute the cop not aid and abet him by organizing his escape.

Is he on a plane to Switzerland? Come on man.
He should be there to answer for his crime is the fucking point.

But that's the problem is no one has charged him with anything yet. Including Federal authorities.
Until then they will keep him away for the safety of him and his family.
Didn't this dude run out or town, or was that not true?
When cops do things by the book, they don't usually run out of town.
...I don't.. What? There is confirmation they loaded him and his family onto a plane bound to France or another country with no extradition treaty? What is going on with the conspiracy theories?
Secondly, you do realize this case won't start for months if not a year right?

Grapetastic!
I'm sure the FBI knows exactly where he is and has agents sitting right outside of wherever he is. If he's charged he'll be arrested, arraigned and go to trial.
I've liked a lot of what you've posted here, but these reposes from you are surprisingly obtuse.
There's no conspiracy theories in my post. Dude fucking fleed the scene his buddies in the department assisted. The tweet in question raised an interested point and is far from idiotic.
Vice is fantastic on this stuff. Great local coverage and they do superb overseas. Ukraine Coverage etc is top notch. Their lead Ukraine guy was even taken prisoner and beaten by the Russian side and still went back out after being freed
For as amazing as the journalism is, as great as the HBO show has been, their website has always been designed terribly. So unwieldy.
We don't actually know that. I wouldn't be surprised if he left town before the FBI became involved. When he is charged him being tucked away by the police could become an issue of foul play. No one is being idiotic or obtuse in raising that concern. Do I expect them to be charged? Nope. Was moving the guy out of town a good move taking his safety into consideration? Yeah. Was it illegal if he's charge? Possibly.
