[QUOTE=ilikecorn;46567406]Are you not watching the live streams? Are you just living in ignorance of what's happening right now?[/QUOTE]
You clearly have no idea how much weight this decision carries. It's on the front page of BBC, a British news organization. Not an American one. This is a pretty fuckin' big deal.
And, no, I'm not watching a live stream. I've almost never seen the point in that. Fortunately, I have the good people of SH to give me play-by-play narration on the events of a race riot.
Why the hell are they lobbing so many tear gas canisters around?
[QUOTE=Chaplin;46567411]Surprised to see so much support for wilson in fp
I'm really disappointed by the trial, the guy didn't even get indicted.
What really scares me is the upcoming riots though[/QUOTE]
Do... do you know what the fuck was going on? There was no trial. There was a presentation of evidence to a grand jury in which they filed a "No True Bill" on all the charges.
Can someone give me a link to the prosecutor's delivery, if there is one?
I'm not sure what's worse, the people who think we should now hang all white people or the racists.

I'll post one when I come across one. Hopefully someone uploads one soon

Crowd control.

well the latter are actual human beings and not strawmen so probably them
[QUOTE=ImperialGuard;46567449]I'm not sure what's worse, the people who think we should now hang all white people or the racists.[/QUOTE]
So, the racists, or the racists?
Anybody who thinks black people as a whole are stupid for responding in such a manner are ignorant, and anybody who thinks that all white people are responsible for this sort of thing are just as ignorant.
[QUOTE=RikohZX;46567423]Because people here looked over the information that demonstrated outside of witness accounts that Wilson was dealing with a criminal who most certainly isn't a child.[/QUOTE]
Maybe a criminal, but it was no reason to take his life.
or his own as for that matter, Darren Wilson will no doubt be the target of loads of violence. he's suffered some serious character assassination.
[QUOTE=Apache249;46567452]Crowd control.[/QUOTE]
They're not shooting into the crowd from what I can tell. They're shooting at right angles to the side of the big crowd.
The Bassem guy sees a fire out in the distance and starts ranting about how the police started it with tear gas... it ended up being a police car on fire... yeah.
Oh God they started chanting "Tear gas!" and got tear gassed lol

The first group aren't racists?
[QUOTE=MrBob1337;46567446]Why the hell are they lobbing so many tear gas canisters around?[/QUOTE]
Which would you prefer, ERAD systems which make your skin feel like it's boiling and tearing off or teargas?
[QUOTE=ilikecorn;46567421]Yes. Yes we were. I did more research and came to the conclusion that while there were serious issues with the police, and the justice system as a whole, Ferguson wasn't a really good example.[/QUOTE]Good times we had:

Also, CNN is saying that there is small arms fire directed at police.
[QUOTE=Apache249;46567452]Crowd control.[/QUOTE]
Watching the stream it doesn't seem to be entirely crowd control. Earlier they fired tear gas over random houses and just now they fired a few canisters at a gathering of people from the media, including CNN. They do seem to be throwing it out rather liberally.
"if y'all could do me a favor and follow me on twitter"
[QUOTE=purvisdavid1;46567438]CNN just got cleared out by tear gas.[/QUOTE]
There's reports that the cast of Fox and Friends did that
A couple messages from the County scanner are talking about several guns behind the tire store where the shooting was?
It really seems there's at least one small group of people who are driving around and taking potshots at cops. Another command post just got shot at.

This filmer is one of the rioters, he is in the heat of it[/QUOTE]
This is a great source of info. Protesters are getting shit on, but they're not being saints either.
They're under-prepared and afraid, paper masks aren't gonna do shit against teargas and mace.
So since Bassem Masri is away from the bulk now, what are the best streams, both private and news?

Some fireworks blew out the window too, definitely tear gas.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but why is tear gas so ineffectual? I have seen these people getting tear gassed by the police and they are only moderately affected. Surely there is a more effective way to incapacitate the rioters?

The tear gas became self aware and rose up against the white cis scum obviously.
No but really, this is fucking awful. The amount of ignorance is staggering.

legally speaking CS is the best balance between effectiveness and safety and ease of deployment
also does area denial
[QUOTE=MrBob1337;46567446]Why the hell are they lobbing so many tear gas canisters around?[/QUOTE]
St. Lois PD is using smoke canisters, not teargas. If you see any pictures of the leftover canisters they shouldn't be blue, if they're blue then they're teargas.
[url]http://i.imgur.com/jYUoF6x.png[/url] - Used tear gas from earlier protests.
[url]https://www.combinedsystems.com/products/?cid=48[/url] - different canisters with markings and words indicating what they release.
Was that the cop car they were beating the shit out of earlier?

they don't want to incapacitate them, then they would pass out in tear gas and probably suffocate to death, they just want to disperse them.
