Before I clicked follow on Black Tony Stark I noticed that @shanley -the founder of model view culture- already follows this guy. drat, this guy is all up in my wheelhouse

Also, I can't believe the guts it takes to do real journalism like this. I just feel like if I were there, even if it's a very significant event, I'd probably shy away to a hotel some distance removed by now.

Here's a question, and I know that this would be a huge, atomic bombshell, but what if - and bare with me here - what if this is STL County PD or Ferguson basically instigating poo poo right now?

As a North County resident of 24 years, gently caress County PD. I'm so sick of this poo poo.

word floating around on Twitter is that County didn't notify or clear it with City or State PD and just started some poo poo by moving into position.

As disappointed as I should be, I can only bring myself to chuckle. The damage done by the St. Louis County PD in the past week will be irreparable. Some time ago, I used to want to be a police officer. Now, I get an awful feeling in my stomach when I even drive past a county patrol car. They disgust me.

Perhaps I'm overreacting and perhaps I'm too close to the situation, but I can't help but feel like this feeling isn't going to go away.

KMOX Radio is running the audio feed of the KMOV newscast. It's a lot more stable than KMOV's kind of crap internet stream.

Here's a live video stream from KMOX's reporter. Sort of redundant with the KMOV coverage, but it's video to go with his call-in voice.

Here's the archive of the Vice stream. If he starts livecasting again, it'll be there.

Police are in front of a store down the street, a different liquor store adjacent to a Domino's. (Elite Liquor, unrelated to the stores a block up the street, where looting was before). There was a gunshot, the police surrounded the place, and arrested one (maybe two?) guy. He may or may not actually be under arrest.

The police are leaving the barricades they set up, but they're at the Elite liquor.

People are covering the Walmart but I don't know why. The only people there are private security and press covering a nonstory.

Has the timeline been elaborated on or are the police still saying the shooting at 2pm happened 10 minutes after the 'robbery' at 1150am

From NPR:

quote:

But a standoff developed around midnight, writes Koran Addo of the Post-Dispatch. "The groups stood about 20 feet away from one another, some police officers pointing guns at the crowd, some protesters pointing cameras at police. Police told the crowd over a loudspeaker to disperse immediately.

Anyone else see a small disparity here?

Also, before anyone talks about how the protesters are all dangerous looters:

quote:

Other protesters eventually lined up in front of the market, keeping looters from returning.

Well Ferguson PD pretty blatantly instigated poo poo with their smear job press conference. I have no doubt that County and Ferguson brass would intentionally undermine that drat black man coming in to show them up.

From CNN

quote:

On the other side of the country, in Oakland, California, protests on Brown's behalf late Friday were met with police in riot gear and pepper spray. Protesters hindered traffic, and at least one protester was seen spraying graffiti.

I don't get this weird attempt to try to show an equivalence between the actions of police and the actions of protesters. The CNN story seems pretty sympathetic to the protesters, but maybe that's because the protesters are just in the right here.

I'm sure they interviewed that tagger to ensure he was part of the protest too. No one would ever tag something in Oakland otherwise.
