I think there's enough evidence to arrest and charge him. The fact Mike Brown didn't have a gun on him or any other weapon is enough that the cop used unreasonable force. Shot at least 6 times. Way too many. Charges should have been filed already.

How can you tell if any of the 6 shots hit until he he's on the ground?

I've only noticed Shephard Smith so far. It won't last.

O'Reilly and Hannity have disappeared for some reason.

O'Reilly is on vacation apparently, however he called into his own show today to say that Tiffany Mitchell was a liar, when she went on MSNBC and said "he jerked as if he was hit behind"
The last word guy called O'Reilly out for it. O'Reilly literally called her a liar, no pussyfooting around, just a straight up liar.

Has it been confirmed anarchist groups are on the ground doing these things? I know they like to fuck stuff like this up, but are we jumping to conclusions here?

Yeah there are at least 2 confirmed groups. Revolutionary Communist party and another Revolution Now group

If the guy was reaching for the officer's gun...how did the officer shoot him with the gun? The fact the officer has the gun in his hands means the use of force to shoot him is unjustified. Or are you claiming Mike Brown shot himself? Let's say Mike Brown did reach for the gun. Police get assaulted all the time...they don't end in deaths. The first instinct through training is not to shoot the person dead. Cop done fucked up.

Are there seriously anarchists on the scene? That sounds too scripted to be real. Like what the fuck.

There's always a threat of anarchists showing up whenever there's a sustained protest or a cluster of protests. The fragile powder-keg situation makes it easy for them to potentially stir shit up, whether it's firing shots, making/throwing molotovs, or convincing someone to do it for them. Basically, they're higher-stakes trolls; they want to see the powder-keg explode.
 
Police: "Press, go back to this little area we've set aside for you so you can't report on anything that we plan on doing tonight."

Can't flashbangs cause fires?

I just don't understand what they intend to achieve with flash bangs. It seems like all they'd ever achieve is aggravating the crowd. Are flashbangs commonly used for these purposes? I thought they were just for stunning people during storming.

It seems like the police have no idea what they're doing and are just throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks, making things worse in the process.
 
If you brought in flame-throwing robots to fight off the protesters, protesters would come back with flame-throwers. So really, none of this is surprising when you got basically the military down there.
 
At the very least the police are using anti riot weapons, dangerous, but non lethal. I will be very very surprised if any live fire gunshots come from police.
