Reports coming in that two foreign journalists have been arrested. Officer: "You know you should have left a long time ago." #Ferguson

Journalists should tell them to fuck off. If they get arrested, what's going to really happen to them? Don't let the trample you, if 1 gets arrested, send 3 more in their place.
 
Man... to think that all that shit they pulled in front of the cameras actually was the peaceful approach they think is appropriate. With the worst of it yet to come after the media had left.

I gotta catch up again tomorrow, got job interviews to wake up for. Seriously hope they have to answer for these methods after they've cleared the press out.
 
@zellieimani: One agitator group is the RCP, Revolutionary Communist Party. They need to be removed from all future rallies. They are not wanted #Ferguson

How about police tell these assholes to fuck off and not legit protestors?
 
Meanwhile ,the MSM is repeating conversations of how damaging the looting and violent protests are and not reporting on these arrests. They're not reporting on the direct confrontations. It's simply police versus anonymous agitators, all the "good people" went to bed at 4pm, I guess.

Are the police doing this on purpose? How can they make this situation any worse for themselves?

This is what they want to do.

The message is clear. These aren't all accidents. They want to intimidate journalists. Glenn Greenwald wouldn't even enter the country until he showed up to pick up his Pulitzer Prize.

I just can't grasp what the police are trying to accomplish. Anyone?

Trying to scare the press away and people into their homes so they can use live ammunition free of consequence. The streets would be lined with dead bodies already if there were no cameras around. This is terrorism. They're trying to scare people into submission.
 
I seriously think there's legitimate police brutality going on right now to knock out every desire to protest in the coming days. The police legitimately do not want ANYTHING to get recorded right now.
 
I really hope someone is recording some of this shit with verification that it went down AFTER the press were told to leave.

Twitter making it sound like a fucking police riot.

Are they still looking for shooters from earlier?
 
Last update from me, I'm not sticking around for the press conference. Hopefully things will be calmer tomorrow, but I don't see how that's possible.

If the press are involving themselves then end of the day mistreatment of the press is the same as mistreatment of protesters. They begin to stop being the press.

In the modern world I struggle to see why a grad media student is more important than the army of unpaid reporters on Twitter (whom the press use).

We should expect the same treatment for a protestor and member of the press. Stop acting upset and shocked at the treatment of the press; it's the treatment of the civilian public that's fucking awful.

You're right but right now the MSM is still going with the "the crowd is inciting the police" angle the cops are pushing. Those of us watching the livestreams know better but we're not the majority. If the press were defying unlawful restrictions and getting arrested for it in the process the MSM would be forced to report it and there's no way to whitewash it. I don't believe the general public would sit idly by and just watch a crackdown on the press in the US. I just don't.
 
This is flat out insanity. How on earth can the police be allowed to gas an ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD? Considering the intense effect the canisters have on healthy adults, what if an elderly/infirm person, a sleeping baby or a small child trying to sleep nearby chokes on some fumes that get through the windows and dies?? I mean seriously, this is rediculous, the police are supposed to be the ones upholding law and order yet they've done nothing but gradually turn the town into a dangerous war zone from the beginning. They are flat out criminals at this point, it's like watching a third world country with an imperial guard, just that live bullets haven't been fired in mass yet.

I guess Obama is just limp and helpless at this point or too worried about stepping into the fray? Does neither he nor the federal government really not have any recourse at this point or do they just not care and they're going to just stand back and let a modern city be torn to shreds by a rogue police force? I don't get it. This is mindblowing to see unfold. Will police literally gunning down protesters cause them to do anything? I mean what does it take at this point?

They recorded when this stuff happened in the 60s. Considering it's still happening now, I don't see what the cops have to worry about.
