Dispatched said 4 or 6 shots were fired.

 

[captive]

The cop is not going to face anything, won't even be arrested to stand trial.

Who is this guy that we should believe him? And where are these 12 witnesses? there's been 4 witnesses against the cop and all four have made multiple statements. You're telling me not one of these witnesses has talked to anyone but the police?

 

[Trail Guide]

"Buddy on the right side of the street you are unlawfully assembled."

 

[Indicate]

"If you are not moving, you may be subject to arrest."

What the fuck is this bullshit?

It's been happening all day. Protesters were forced to walk around in circles. Ridiculous.

 

[everyday math]

@marshallbryant: huge standoff at the QT in #ferguson #teargas will be used at the top of the hour according to inside sources.

Fuck yeah America

 

[Femmeworth]

Asshole is using such a patronizing "dad" voice.

This is so true.

 

[daffy]

"If you are not moving, you may be subject to arrest."

What the fuck is this bullshit?

Some kind of twisted musical chairs

 

[mre]

"For those assisting us, we appreciate your support."

Hah. What a cock.

 

[ReignofSparrows]

Asshole is using such a patronizing "dad" voice.

Haha, yep. The voice reminds me of a grade school teacher I had who I am pretty sure hated his job and every kid in the class.

[kingkitty]

LOL at Tim's stream

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

WOAH SWAT MOVING IN

 

[Nabs]

I can't believe I'm still surprised by this shit.

They just gobbled that dude up.

 

[Konka]

That street sign was awesome.

 

[Badosh]

if you standing in the middle of the street with a street sign you stole, you may be subject to arrest.

hah.

oh these cops.

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Why are they arresting this guy?

 

[GulAtiCa]

woah, what happened?

 

[Volimar]

This police guy on the bullhorn reminds me of someone...

"If you remove street signs and walk around with them, you might be a redneck."

 

[ErasureAcer]

Cops snatched another.

 

[dreams]

It's been happening all day. Protesters were forced to walk around in circles. Ridiculous.

How absolutely petty :/

 

[Officerrob]

Asshole is using such a patronizing "dad" voice.

I'm not sure there is a voice people would like in this situation

 

[Kitschkraft]

If you are breathing, you may be subject to arrest.

 

[ab.aeterno]

Someone attested on I Am Mike Brown stream. What happened?

 

[Byakuya769]

Unfortunately, this is true (and a large part of why I'm no longer an officer)

Voting public shares blame in that too. Politicians ran on crime and punishment from the late 60's to late 90's, then switched it up for terrorism.

 

[FamousLastX]

if you standing in the middle of the street with a street sign you stole, you may be subject to arrest.

hah.

oh these cops.

Not going to lie, that definitely made me laugh a bit.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

It's been happening all day. Protesters were forced to walk around in circles. Ridiculous.

I'm trying to figure out something that would be appropriate to compare this to.

"Walk around in a circle and protest!" As they're surrounded by men with guns.

I'm enraged, and I'm not even fucking there.

 

[ScribbleD]

I can't believe I'm still surprised by this shit.

They just gobbled that dude up.

WOAH SWAT MOVING IN

I'm watching the vice stream. Is this being shown elsewhere?

 

[FkLA]

Is the Curfew still in effect? I read that the Governor had decided to end it

 

[El Odio]

The amount of cops in that line seems to have doubled.
EDIT: Brown stream says the woman arrested was just trying to go home.

 

[Sophia]

For what it's worth, the person on the live stream using the whole "Authoritative Dad' voice is still better then what was going on before.

It's still disgusting, however.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Link?

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2014/08/18/ferguson-pd-busted/

Not sure of validity of site.

 

[Velcro Fly]

things escalating again on the i am mike brown stream

 

[Nabs]

This is nuts.

 

[TheAbsolution]

This police guy on the bullhorn sounds so annoyed.

 

[Ominym]

WOAH SWAT MOVING IN

How can you tell anymore? Legitimate question.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Why are they arresting this guy?

Because they can.

 

[Icanplaythat]

Is the Curfew still in effect? I read that the Governor had decided to end it

No, Gov called it off this afternoon.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

this guy sounds like the senior undergrad who had to be TA and the prof is late for class and he is totally uncool with these dumb kids who keep talking

 

[Femmeworth]

The person with the street sign is a hero.

 

[ab.aeterno]

2nd arrest in the Mike Brown stream?

 

[Devolution]

What did they just take that woman for?

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

How can you tell anymore? Legitimate question.

By that I meant, a group of them quite literally, gobbled someone up

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Fox News can't even believe this right now.

 

[Volimar]

Bullhorn cop should just start telling jokes at this point, he's not helping at all.

this guy sounds like the senior undergrad who had to be TA and the prof is late for class and he is totally uncool with these dumb kids who keep talking

Some of us are trying to learn.

 

[Shamrock7r]

When Fox News is confused with the what the Police are doing you know it's going bad

 

[ryutaro's mama]

The cops look like absolute cowards.

Pathetic.

 

[gutter_trash]

Voting public shares blame in that too. Politicians ran on crime and punishment from the late 60's to late 90's, then switched it up for terrorism.

and the war on terror gave the justification for the militarization of the police... but instead of fighting foreign terrorists, they are subduing own citizens.

 

[Diagol]

2nd arrest in the Mike Brown stream?

I think the person on that stream said she was just trying to go home and was swarmed and arrested.

 

[mre]

What did they just take that woman for?

Just a shot in the dark, but I'm going to guess she was "unlawfully assembled."

 

[Nanashrew]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unlawful_assembly

Unlawful assembly is a legal term to describe a group of people with the mutual intent of deliberate disturbance of the peace. If the group are about to start the act of disturbance, it is termed a rout; if the disturbance is commenced, it is then termed a riot. In Britain, the offence was abolished in 1986.

It means the crowd has intent to do something illegal, something that is not happening. The police see them as all potential rioters and willing to take them all out rather than the small handful.

Unlawful assembly can even mean just a group of 3 people with intent to do something illegal by force.
