Looks like it worked. Community obeyed, even stood up against people that disobeyed, and stores weren't looted today.

The full picture seems to be the cops don't want us to get the full picture.

That's a LIE! RT @txvoodoo: Local woman on livestream saying people causing trouble came in from Chicago: "Not our community" #Ferguson
Greg Thomas @minossec
No, those folks DEFINITELY are not Chicago. Yes there are outsiders, but from East St. Louis, Arkansas, and Kentucky.
Greg Thomas @minossec
No one is driving 6 hours from Chicago to get shot by police. We can stay home and do that just fine thank you.

Greg Thomas @minossec
Oh snap. I did forget about those weird REVOLUTION NOW folks from Wicker Park, Chicago. I hope they weren't out there doing dumb shit.

Hearing shooting reports as well. Sounds like they may be a few miles away, so may not be related.
A billionaire arrested? Heads will roll
That's what cops with military gear do.

Interesting. That dude said he was leaving 2 hours ago.
People are calling bullshit on that. @jack tweeted that he was leaving before the curfew.

Dude, I appreciate everything you do and have for years, but weren't you just in this thread a few pages ago completely oblivious to the looting that happened last night and under the impression that protesters were threatening media?
But yes, fuck transparency and the right to a free press.

I guess that sitting here on my computer it felt more intense than the other nights because there was this long ass "Countdown to Curfew!" and all of the "action" seemed concentrated to this tiny period of time.
I'm just glad it's over for now.
I really have never even heard of the guy, I just thought it was kinda strange (And, "meta", I guess?) to see a couple people post that on my timeline.

He's down with the media. Just spotted by KSDK.
Maybe he got kidnapped by an outside gang, and is being held for ransom.

lolwut are they posing?
Iconic photo time.
I need me some McDonalds and damn it, nothing is going to stop me.
Just imagine if it was a selfie
Someone claimed protesters threatened the media and I was surprised (one way of asking for evidence). I was aware of the looting as well as the protesters who attempted to prevent it. My point is we shouldn't lose our shit. A curfew as a temporary peace keeping measure when its reasonable to expect looting isnt terrifying to me in the way that a police force possibly murdering a man, obstructing justice, and confusing itself with military is.
Also if theyre imposing curfew it stands to reason that they want to avoid confusion with arresting press whatever we think of the validity of that curfew. Just saying don't go alex Jones.

It's going to be a damn shame if the meaning behind images like this are lost because some people can't take their focus off of looters and cocktails.

What does it really matter where they are from? The bottom line is that they are there and being disruptive and really hurting the cause.
It matters that it's not Ferguson citizens. This isn't a community doing this to itself, it's outsiders there to take advantage of the situation.

they're only hurting the cause to people that truly don't care about the cause. if a few people choice incidents make you disregard everything that's happened, then you really do not care about what's happening. not even a little.
shit, what's the difference between this and tear gas then?
Bingo
I can already imagine the next O'Reilly Talking Points Memo.
A lot of people at Fox News probably just creamed their pants.
I like to listen to Alex Jones every 4-6 months to see what kind of crazy he's up to. Dude is full on trying to incite a race war. More than normal. All he seems to talk about is thugs, thug life, blacks, urban youth, urban culture being harmful, white people protecting businesses, black unemployment, welfare, and on and on with all the bingo card shit. In between screaming about 1776 and how this is all a smoke screen for the government to take away more rights. It's fucking gross. I know he's Alex Jones and all, but I don't remember him being so full on "being thugs is bred into blacks" kind of shit.
Also, all the protesters are criminals AND government plants, and all of the media outlets are lying and also likely plants.

It matters because the people of the area have been nothing but peaceful so far, but the media will keep playing the narrative that the protesters are resorting to violence and destroying their own area.
