Turn citizens exercising their constitutional rights into a warzone America.

Piss on the "founding fathers" you routinely cite harder.

The sad truth is that the founding fathers would have been perfectly fine with the police actions here.
 
People should be insulted by the prayer. "People, remember the god our ancestors forced your ancestors to learn about and adopt. God says to obey or go to hell!"

It's almost hilarious.These people are journalist, they're reporting everything. Troublemakers aren't being glamorized anymore than the officers are. People are getting raw footage and making their own decisions.

I'm insulted.

I still haven't seen any footage of Molotovs. I'm just seeing police abuse.
 
LMFAO @ this shitting on reporters from smaller outlets.

"Some people have a 50 thousand dollar camera and they are easy to spot as journalist. But others are just using cell phone cameras and we can't tell the difference" (to paraphrase)

These "cell phone journalist" are doing some of the best work!
 
At this point arresting Darren Wilson would hardly change anything. This is about something much bigger than the murder of one teen. This is about every minority that has to deal with police oppression. This is about rampant and uncontrolled abuses of power by police that go unpunished and forgotten. This is about a whole city being plunged into martial law and stripped of basic civil rights while state and federal governments sit idly by and watch it burn.
 
Encouraging people to peacefully protest during daytime hours where its easier for police to identify any agitators who are actually causing the problems seems like a good idea to me. If anything it would also be easier for the media to cover, because you know, daylight. Seems like its easier to get the message heard when people are awake and out.

Good presser so far, many reasonable things being said, in my opinion at least. Its definitely safer for the general person to protest during the daytime, assuming there actually are people who are out there to cause chaos, as it seems there actaully was based on footage. Its clear to me I'm not of a similar mindset as a lot of the people here. I do agree though that the police haven't handled this situation well at all, to say the least.
 
Media needs to stop covering the damn police. They don't answer any questions...just put out their PR statements and avoid all the tough questions. This is a total sham.
 
Trying to say none of the people were arrested are journalists...uhhh

I think he made a distinction between being detained and arrested. He definitely acknowledged that some were taken in, questioned, and released.

While that distinction certainly matters legally, taking a camera off the field is taking it off the field, doesn't matter if they were charged or questioned or ascertained or escorted or whatever jargon he wants to use.
 
Did this guy really just say we will arrest journalists but let them go once we figure out your journalists? What the fuck am I listening to?
