They're loving chasing people into housing editions. Where the gently caress are people supposed to go? I get that the cops don't actually care about that, but when they inevitably get asked, where the gently caress are they going to say they wanted the protestors to go?

They do care. Their answer is, "Anywhere but loving here." They don't understand that message is no longer acceptable in American public discourse and are not savvy enough to message it properly.

I mean I know it's not legal and it's been going on in poor areas forever, but it's on video and all over the internet. Why isn't there a federal response? Why isn't the Governor of MO doing something? It's obvious the police are provoking this.

There's tactics but you're not going to see people posting them outside of activists groups. Mostly, though, not really.

The police have superior gear, numbers, and mobility.

The big advantage is coordination. The police have rapid communications, a clear chain of command, and decision makers with access to real time tactical information. A large group of protesters has few if any of these advantages.

This. Someone needs to step in now or it's going to get really, really bad. Someone has already been murdered.

The federal government literally coordinated with police to do exactly this in response to the Occupy protests. Everything you're seeing here happened in LA, Oakland, NYC, etc.

Why would the feds do something to stop this? Most of the public will say they deserved it.

This is pretty normal for protests, they want people to be too scared to continue to assemble.

Not that they have a large say, but Anon went from asking protesters to not be violent to calling it a revolution. God I hope people don't actually start fighting back they'd get slaughtered.
