There's a ton of covert racists/prejudiced in ST. Louis. Some of the shit I heard when going to school in STL county schools pissed me off still today.

Whoever did this is just showcasing what they truly think after hiding it for so long.

And unfortunately, my second guess would be someone pretending to be Ferguson PD. The conspiracy theorist in me jumped straight to that.

I don't like this at all. It was clearly done to escalate tensions; there's no more surefire way to do that than burn the memorial.

DOJ's Ferguson Town Hall Meetings Ban Media, Non-Residents

An obscure arm of the Justice Department known as “America’s peacemaker” banned reporters and non-residents from two town hall meetings Monday in Ferguson, Missouri. The ban was enforced by Ferguson police officers, even though a city spokesman said local officials wouldn't prevent outsiders from attending.

DOJ’s Community Relations Service, or CRS, a small government agency charged with conflict resolution, is mediating a series of meetings in the St. Louis suburb, which was rocked by protests after a police officer shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown last month.

Initially, a spokesman working for the city of Ferguson had promoted the meetings to the media. But CRS, which is "required by law to conduct its activities in confidence and without publicity,” didn't want reporters or citizens from neighboring communities to attend.

“It's their meeting,” Devin James, a spokesman for Ferguson, told The Huffington Post, referring to the DOJ agency. “They’re calling the shots. So they have the authority to shut it down, keep it open, moderate it, whatever. It’s pretty much going to be on them whether they decide to — using your terminology — ban or whatever. We’re not enforcing that.”

Ferguson Caught Lying to Cover-Up Records
The City of Ferguson has been caught in a lie. Two lies in fact. Exacerbated by telling the lie to multiple individuals and over at least a two week period. And in this article I will prove it.

The question was recently raised (Ferguson’s Massive Cover Up) as to whether the evidence demonstrated that the City and Police Department were involved in providing cover for Officer Darren Wilson and covering up the Department’s actions by refusing to comply with the public records provisions of Missouri’s Sunshine Law.

We now have the indisputable proof:

YES, in fact the City’s officials are indeed violating the law to deny the public the right to records the City and Department do not want to release.

They have been caught knowingly and purposefully telling lies to deny the timely production of records they are legally obligated to provide. And in Missouri that is a crime

He did this on purpose.

He wanted something bad to happen, and it did. The fucking nerve of this scum, after everything he's done, he comes out with a half baked apology and then tries to walk with the protesters?

Yep. He's a piece of shit. He went there specifically to get a reaction from the people he's lying to and antagonizing, just for the other "side" to claim that the protesters are out of control and overly aggressive.

It's like the Ferguson PD has no idea what their actions look like to people outside their close-knit group.

Here's another bit from that article:
Christy Lopez said:
"Nonetheless, there is no question that police departments can and should closely regulate officers' professional appearance and behavior, particularly where, as here, the expressive accessory itself is exacerbating an already tense atmosphere between law enforcement and residents in Ferguson."

If anything, the Ferguson PD has repeatedly demonstrated the opposite of "closely regulated appearance and behavior". Hopefully the Department of Justice has realized that by now.

The officer was not killed.

http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/27/us/ferguson-police-officer-shot/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

A Ferguson, Missouri, police officer was shot Saturday evening, according to St. Louis County Police spokesman Brian Schellman.
The officer is alive.
Demonstrators have taken to the streets of Ferguson since unarmed African-American teen Michael Brown was shot by a white Ferguson police officer in early August.
Tensions reignited in the Missouri town on Thursday night after a late-night appearance by Police Chief Thomas Jackson to address the crowd. A scuffle ensued, and arrests were made.​
 
Hopefully some good comes out of this. Maybe the fact that people are willing to fight back will make the cops rethink their ways.
