[BFIB]

More officers arriving,

 

[kendrid]

Why are they firing tear gas...?

Tim said he heard gunshots and others around him confirmed. That is a damn good reason to fire teargas IMO. Some assholes went to far.

 

[demosthenes]

Tim's stream never said rubber bullet. Why is everyone assuming it's that?

 

[Badosh]

so not tear gas? just smoke...bombs?

 

[Dmented]

Tim's stream never said rubber bullet. Why is everyone assuming it's that?

He did say it was a rubber bullet.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Don Lemon putting on the vest

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Fucking commie assholes.

Communists are about equality not anarchy

 

[mre]

Tim's stream never said rubber bullet. Why is everyone assuming it's that?

He did say that.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

GREAT JOB GUYS

 

[ErasureAcer]

Tim's not moving. He's gonna get arrested.

 

[EatinOlives]

There was nothing unlawful being done to warrant this treatment of the protesters. This is horrible.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Circumventing circuses, lamenting in protest
To visible police, presence sponsored fear
Battalions of riot police with rubber bullet kisses
Baton courtesy, service with a smile

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

That ricochet would've been better if the cops weren't wearing masks. Give them a taste of their own medicine, and so on.

 

[Volimar]

Tim's stream never said rubber bullet. Why is everyone assuming it's that?

He did say it once, then changed it to "something"

 

[demosthenes]

He did say it was a rubber bullet.

My mistake.

 

[Big Baybee]

Hayes calling them out for their arbitrary bullshit lines in the sand

 

[Cmagus]

so not tear gas? just smoke...bombs?

Right now just smoke bombs,there was gun fire you could hear it on the Vice stream but where it came from they aren't sure.

 

[Badosh]

Tim's stream never said rubber bullet. Why is everyone assuming it's that?

But, he did say that.

 

[DragonSworne]

Incompetent police just shot themselves with a smoke bomb. -_-

 

[Nanashrew]

Just hit themselves with their own gas.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

There was nothing unlawful being done to warrant this treatment of the protesters. This is horrible.

they were protesting. that's more than enough for them.

 

[GK86]

Is the Vice stream up the block from where the Brown stream is taking place?

 

[ErasureAcer]

There was nothing unlawful being done to warrant this treatment of the protesters. This is horrible.

Dude did move the cones into the street but come on...this is uncalled for.

 

[Gonzalez]

Communist are about equality not anarchy

It's never worked. So don't start this.

 

[Shinta]

Man ...

It's going to be hard to call Alex Jones a conspiracy theorist when his biggest focus has been "rise of the police state" for like the last 18 years. He got that one right.

 

[EatinOlives]

they were protesting. that's more than enough for them.

Protesting and standing.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Is the Vice stream up the block from where the Brown stream is taking place?

Yes

 

[StarlordDial]

oh man..wtf is going in Ferguson is giving me the 1993 riot here wtf

 

[HOMEBOY OVER HERE]

what stream or news channel are most of you watching? reporter on fox news is letting out some strange sounding coughs

 

[Dai101]

Why do the VICE reporters have bulletproof vests? That is ridiculous.

I guess you're new to this thread. There's been reports that (allegedly) some cops are using live ammo. Then again, less lethal rounds (i.e. "rubber bullets") can still fuck you up:

Well, i guess i'll never laugh at that joke again.

Alex Jones is not right because in one tiny town police are putting down riots the same way they have been for decades. This is not a comment on whether this stuff is right or wrong, but that Alex Jones is a nutcase and his conspiracy theories about everything up to and including the police state are complete nonsense.

 

[Kud Dukan]

What the fuck?!

 

[mre]

[shadyspace]

People threw rocks at Chris Hayes? That's too bad the dude's doing a good job.
