That certainly sounds like the reporter called the police chief, the chief found out what his moron officers just did, and ordered a release.

I like how they're such dicks that it the chief was probably "oh poo poo, don't rough up and arrest reporters you idiots get them out of here" and the officers still wanted to play it like they were doing favors.

The Ferguson chief strikes as woefully unprepared and incompetent. In the press conference today, he was completely unable to answer a whole host of questions and the whole time he sweated like, well, a pig.

That doesn't surprise me. He's in the middle of a shitstorm I'm sure he never thought he'd have to deal with in his life, and all his officers are going psycho, as evidenced above.

It is an unfortunate event that one's officers go loving psycho on entire community they claim to protect.

Oh hey, just heard that the SEC is launching a nation-wide investigation into alternate-investment mutual funds. Hm, why, its almost as if Obama is trying to send a message to Wells-Fargo cut this poo poo out now. This is how you produce actionable change as an effective President. I wonder how long until the local cops start to get the message? ETA: One call to Nixon. Don't call Obama weak when he's the strongest President since Nixon.

maybe I'm missing something, what does Wells-Fargo have to do with this?

Do you remember the London riots and how pretty much everybody in any authority said the police were too nice? That will happen in this case too.

I've been watching the Alex Jones stream because it's by far the best stream right now for the situation on the ground.

There was an increasingly intense protest going on and then someone threw a bottle. The police proceeded to say it's no longer a peaceful protest and then fired at least 4-5 rounds of tear gas at the people. The Alex Jones reporter almost got hit directly and was coughing like crazy.

Jesus christ. Cliven Bundy can have an armed enclave talking poo poo and pointing guns at the fed and get away poo poo-free, one prick - if that - amidst a sea of unarmed protestors can throw a drat bottle and a bunch of armored cops respond with tear gas and rubber bullets and loving LRADs. gently caress this poo poo.

I have a feeling county in question went way too far and is regretting the escalation right about now. It sounds so malicious to think the county/police wanted this fight but gently caress.

Yeah but when black people tried to arm up and hold a compound police bombed them from the air, so I dunno if it's the guns.

Don't worry, I'm sure Sean Hannity and Fox News will be there lionizing the protestors any minute now.
