Also said SWAT was in pursuit of the shooter
Yep, he said he wasn't 100% sure, but he thinks the live fire was coming from the protesters.
I think you just answered you're own question.
They're protesting because they don't get treated with equality and justice is usually reserved for whites and the wealthy.
I don't agree honestly. Look at the big picture man.
NSA is collecting data on all of us and the only person in trouble is the one who told us, hiding in Russia. It sends a message that trickles out from the top down. It's open season on people, journalists, protesters. 4th amendment doesn't count, 1st amendment doesn't count.
There are tons of different examples of just raw abuse of authority, all across the country. This same thing happened to Occupy Wall Street too.
And yeah, it's not a coincidence that we're wrapping up 10 years of urban, house to house war in the middle east. Many of those veterans take up jobs in police and private security. They get gifted military gear. They get training now to raid houses for minor drug offenses in the exact same style they raided houses in Iraq.
None of this is isolated. Alex Jones is crazy at times, but you know what? He got this shit 100% right, before everyone.
This has been happening overseas to Muslims, and domestically to a lesser extent for 10 years. Then it was happening to journalists. Then whistleblowers. Then political protesters. Next it'll just be anyone; minorities first.
It is the (some asshole) protesters shooting the real bullets.

Scary shit.
I imagine tonight will pressure the Obama administration / DOJ to do something. But what can they do...

One man's life has value. The rioters should control themselves, but that the anger is exploding onto the streets is no surprise. Police murder after police murder continually confirms to African Americans that their lives are suspect and valueless to those in charge. Many are not this way, but until this persistent undercurrent of hate and selective prosecution stops, this anger is always one slaying away from destroying another city block.

nice goon shout out to something awful, epic internet winnery during this fucking shootout
Be careful, my Malwarebytes program is reporting that Fox link has malware on it.
That's what "snaps" and "hisses" are. That's a bullet coming in your direction, aka not fired from your location.

CNN reporter says he saw one molitov thrown at police
Agreed 100%.
It's not about just one man.
EDIT:
Sorry, you're 100% right.

What did the police expect? They escalated the situation by firing off tear gas aggressively, simply because protesters were standing on the street.
Tim is saying that the live shots were coming from the protestors though. There are definitely more players in the violence then the cops/national guard, at least at the moment.
I think the anarchists were passing them out earlier, so it was probably them.

I was replying to someone talking about the general mindset of the police force.

Shit is going down right now.
This whole thing needs to end soon.
This whole thing needs to end soon.
Because it's asshole anarchists, not protesters, doing the shooting.

I'm not talking about Mike. I'm talking about Darren Brown and the system protecting him, and the people have had ENOUGH of this.
It's time for a fucking change, and nothing will happen.
How long will this go on?
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
You escalate like that? It's only a matter of time until someone with nothing to lose sets out a few bullets.

Why are CNN reporters the only ones to see Molotovs?

The idea of America and other 1st world countries gradually transitioning into police states is not anything new, or worthy of being mentioned as if it is some sort of amazing insight. The amount of stuff Alex Jones gets wrong far, far outweighs this case of him getting it right. Thousands and thousands of other people have predicted this to occur.
And getting it right before anyone else? No, not by a long shot.

Thanks. I have adblock, so I may not be getting that. I'll put up a different link. FYI to any mods, my adblock is disabled for Neogaf.

2:1 ratio of media
rotestors? The media is just making it worse.
rotestors? The media is just making it worse.I'm just trying to learn here, so pardon my direct question, is anarchist a general term or are you guys insinuating there are actual anarchists among the crowd?

Inability to control a large, disparate group. Lack of strong central leadership. Difficulty identifying and removing unwanted elements. It's not protesters--it is some protesters. Volatile assemblies are very difficult to manage and it only takes a few people to ruin it for everybody else.
