Maybe not steal his phone, but agitator tactics aren't exactly new.
I feel bad for the small business owners, getting screwed over by their own community. If I owned a business in the area I wouldn't be leaving it's protection to the police.
[QUOTE=Saigon;46568092]The National Guard needs to move in and quell the situation.[/QUOTE]
What exactly are they waiting for, anyway?
I'm not exactly sure what the National Guard even does in this kind of scenario
I feel like there is little violence (protesters vs Police), but alot of looting and setting of fires nearby where the Police actually are.
Tumblr is horrible right now.
Well, it is all the time, but even more now.

[QUOTE=coldroll5;46568084]This is so stupid why stoop to violence after a verdict is reached they're giving racist people a reason to stick to their hateful dogma.[/QUOTE]
Racist people will find any reason to stick to their dogma - that's why it's dogmatic. You can find a successful, intelligent black man for every one who's taking advantage of the protests for personal gain. The people who are rioting aren't the kind who care about the real issues behind racial discrimination - they want free shit and they want to break stuff.
[QUOTE=Saigon;46568064]I'm glad to see that my college is putting the safety of their students first and foremost.[/QUOTE]
I still am wondering if your college gives thanksgiving break, because that kinda happens this week.
Also, too bad the people are too pumped up to listen to the Brown's family statement. Rioting over this type of issue probably won't get you far.
I just learned that an anime con I go to every year is being held in a hotel only minutes from Ferguson. I just booked a hotel room with them for the con a few days ago too. I hope the hotel doesn't get burned down.

We were still supposed to have classes until Wednesday. Our Thanksgiving break is starting early because of this though.
According to CNN a beauty supply store was set on fire, and the fire department was in the process of putting it out when someone opened fire on them and they had to pull back.
FAA TFR NOTAM issued for Ferguson. Not that any pilot would be that ballsy anyway. This also effects STL

Are you really posting about how you're worrying if you're going to be able to go to your anime convention or not in a thread about massive civil unrest?

wtf are you even doing?

Police stealing things to agitate the riot crowd is common?
This is messed up. I can understand people being pissed off but this is not how you send a message. You're literally hurting yourselves when you destroy other peoples property and steal stuff from stores. This is supposed to be about a cop killing a man, but really it's just an excuse to go out looting. It's fucking horrible.
[QUOTE=TSUKASA_FAN2K;46568137]*what are you even doing*[/QUOTE]
please. as another black person just stop. You're not helping at all

Implication of what? My roommates friend was simply carried away on a stretcher.

You're not helping at all nigga please.

It started off as protests against police brutality brought on by Brown's death. Unfortunately, when you get a bunch of people in a crowd, people are going to take advantage of that crowd in selfish ways. It's shitty people fucking up a genuine plea for discourse and discussion. They have zero interest in sending a message - they want free shit and they can hide under the guise of "getting revenge."

True but they can use instances such as this to indoctrinate and bring in new recruits.
[QUOTE=Roll_Program;46568152]You mean police stealing things to agitate the riot crowd is common?[/QUOTE]
I mean unmarked 'police' walking around in black face bandanas and cargo boots. Often handing out molotovs and making throwing motions.
