Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

Is it just me or would that curfew after tomorrow at 10pm be better placed...you know...today?

Or is that the soonest the National Guard can deploy and they can't enforce it before that?

NG can't deploy that fast, and most of us were never trained in crowd control of police activities anyways.

http://www.duffelblog.com/2014/08/missouri-national-guard-arrives-ferguson-begins-police-call/

quote:

FERGUSON, Mo. — Members of the Missouri National Guard who were deployed by the governor arrived on Monday and immediately began to police call spent brass and cigarette butts around the police command center at a nearby mall, Duffel Blog has learned.

Local leaders and Guard officials have assured the public that soldiers would only fill this type of limited role.

“We’ll continue to ensure a neat and orderly appearance of the command center and nearby areas,” said Guard Capt. William Strothers. “We also have enough paint, rakes, and sand to have a really nice rock garden complete by the time we leave here.”

Other Guard duties will include setting up a coffee mess in the command tent and a car wash in order to raise money for the battalion ball held later this year. But not all Guardsmen were excited to hear about their duties.

“Well this just totally blows,” said Private First Class Rory Watson, as he dejectedly polished one of his three tactical knives. “I thought we’d be military advisors for the police. You know, like in Iraq. I came here to get some, not sell unit t-shirts to cops.”

Still, many soldiers were excited to be deployed to FOB Red’s BBQ in Ferguson. Sgt. First Class Ron Donaldson, who has never deployed prior to events there, is supervising a morale patch design contest with fellow Guardsmen.

“This one has Al Sharpton on it,” said Donaldson, showing some of the proposed designs. “Once we settle on a good design we’re going to convince our lieutenant to authorize us to wear it. We’re also going to try and be approved to get a riot suppression badge. Hmmm … badges.”

Ferguson police say they are delighted to have the National Guard along side them.

“I think it’s great they’re here,” said one officer. “I sure as hell don’t know how to maintain all these surplus tanks and flamethrowers we bought from the military with our end of the year funds.”

Someone was asking him why it took so long to call out the guard. He said that Baltimore had the lead till they asked for any more assets, and then said he had no clue why she had waited so long to ask for help.

EDIT: Apparently there are armed, masked people near Hopkins as well.

Evidently the mayor of Baltimore said on Sunday:

"I've made it very clear that I work with the police and instructed them to do everything that they could to make sure that the protesters were able to exercise their right to free speech," Rawlings-Blake said in a press conference.

"It's a very delicate balancing act, because, while we tried to make sure that they were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well. And we worked very hard to keep that balance and to put ourselves in the best position to deescalate, and that's what you saw."

Now her office is clarifying that in the process of letting the peaceful protestors do so, that means that in the process they basically had no choice but to let violence tun rampant, not that they intentionally let violence erupt.

How comforting. It's good to know that if you live somewhere that people get upset at the police and start protesting, that's a free license for anyone to come in and burn your store down because it's bad if we interfere with protests, mmmkay?

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

Copgoons or others- what legal rights do firemen have to intervene with the stuff that's been going on today? The reason I ask is they had people blatantly cutting the fire hoses while they were putting out fires. Would they (assuming they didn't get jumped first) be allowed to zip tie wrists and tell people to sit the gently caress down?

I swear I remember somebody interviewed just after the Miracle on the Hudson where a local New York reporter asked where they were from. After that was answered, the woman asked "What are you doing HERE?" after he pretty clearly went for an unplanned swim in the river and had just gotten out of the hospital when all he wanted to do was fly home.

e- Speaking of the media (paraphrased just now)

Panelist on CNN: "We need, however, to keep aware that Baltimore is not burning because people set it on fire. Baltimore tonight is burning because a black life was lost on the streets of Baltimore."

Don Lemon: "No, let's just call this for what it is. Baltimore is burning because people set it on fire."

Don Lemon picking up where he left off in Ferguson. :thurman:

e2- Lemon isn't loving around either. He'll be really entertaining if he doesn't have any sleep tomorrow morning.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

Switched to the Fox coverage over the last couple of hours, starting with Shep, Megyn and finally, Hannity. Progressing insanity.

Megyn kept raising the same question I casually asked earlier, namely why the curfew is only scheduled to start tomorrow, not tonight, except she kept riding that loving idea relentlessly, going on to say that the National Guard should have been there 4 hours ago.

Hannity then went on to drone about Obama being a weak leader because he's not on TV "ending the violence" and not calling in the National Guard himself, madness!


I love this country.

The firefighters should turn the hoses on the rioters

Honestly, they just retreat until the cops arrive. I was listening to the BPD scanner for awhile and there were a bunch of requests for escorts/assistance from ambulances and fire trucks trying to deal with situations with unruly crowds.
