The protestors know. They just don't care.
 
Just a shot in the dark, but I'm going to guess she was "unlawfully assembled."

This is BULLSHIT.

As someone who protests I'm fucking disgusted every night this persists. Trampling over one of our most precious rights every night in Ferguson this week.
 
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.

Agreed, but at least he's being semi-polite.

Just want to say that I agree with you two. I am not jumping on the 'everything the police do or don't is bad' bandwagon. I literally just turned on the stream and found the voice annoying is all. So far what I've seen has been pretty peaceful from both sides all things considered
 
Jake Tapper with some no BS reporting right now, a very small minority of the group is intentionally trying to provoke a police response
 
Telling the press to "disperse" themselves from the protesters seems like them saying, "Yo, reporters leave so we can open fire with this tear gas.... subject for arrest."

I'm not watching that particular stream, but that's just my shot in the dark based upon what the cop on the Vice stream keeps chanting.

Why would you do this.
 
At this point the cops could release a video of Michael drinking Coors with Osama bin Laden and Kim Jong Un and their behavior would still be incomprehensible disproportionate. The cops have created riots themselves. Once by executing a teenager and now all this shit.

National Guard should be deployed to control the police, not the protesters.
 
Not to get all conspiracy theorist or anything but was the lifting of the curfew a fake sign of goodwill?

I say this because in their position of being stupid about everything and tryig to squash protest. The 'you can protest, but you have to constantly be moving' seems like a tactic to tire the crowd and get them to leave asap without outright saying it.
 
Well I saw her before and all she was doing was holding a sign. I didn't see anything inappropriate.
Just to be clear, I wasn't suggesting she was doing anything appropriate, I'm just guessing that's going to be the pretext for arresting her and many, many more people tonight.

People on the grass between the sidewalk and the road: unlawfully assembled.
People not moving: unlawfully assembled.
People on the quick trip parking lot: unlawfully assembled.
 
Cops announcing not to throw rocks at police. Sounds like they're wanting people watching to actually believe that is happening before they start the tear gassing

Oh I know what YOU meant, just clarifying that I was curious because I felt like I missed something and your comment was probably totally spot on. It seems like people are just being pulled for being there.
 
CNN says it's White Anarchists.
You gotta figure in a community that's mostly black the cops will exercise more restraint when encountering a white person for fear theymmight be press or someone important. Just another way these people in Ferguson have the deck stacked against them.
 
Is it White Anarchists different from Black Bloc Anarchists? Is there any crossover? Sounds very similar to Black Bloc style tactics of provocation
