Those are police officers.
RafisDumpBuddy
Is that a camera or a gun?

mockwerks
Gun. Full military style.

People are angry about an officer involved shooting that has not yet been fully investigated. They've been throwing molotovs at cops.
anyrandomthing
the police shot an unarmed teen and people started to protest. things got bad when people decided to throw Molotov's at the police.

This is the 4th day of unrest in Ferguson, MO. Police are pulling out all the stops. They've arrested media and public workers.

Riots
GaurdianOfTheEnchiridion
That picture is of a peaceful protest.
LesbianTrappedInManBody
Depends on the perspective. The guy with the gun in his face dosen't feel at peace.
LowFatBatman
Well, then maybe people shouldn't have started a riot
DukeEd
Maybe just not be black???
Justalobstercowboy
I'm guessing you have no idea what this is all about
BlastMcHardcheese
Yeah, look how much that guy is rioting there!
baiin
Yea? Maybe cops should stop shooting people and people wouldn't riot.
LowFatBatman
Yeah i agree
GaurdianOfTheEnchiridion
Why does everyone act as thought the rioters are the same people as the peaceful protesters? Is it because they are all the same to you?
LowFatBatman
Said nothing like that, The guns and armed officers are there because of the rioters ... is the point i was making
GaurdianOfTheEnchiridion
Well your attempt to make it was a bad one that appeared veiled with racial indifference. Id work on changing that if it's not what you mean
LowFatBatman
Yea because me saying people totally implied i was speaking about their race and not the fact that they are actual people and not dragons
GaurdianOfTheEnchiridion
I never said it implied racism.... I said it appeared veiled with racial indifference... not the same thing...
springelmogizmo
maybe police shouldn't initiate riots by shooting unarmed people
LowFatBatman
again, i agree

Stealin some new sneakers aint a proper reaction for a dead 18yearold.
DeadwoodBoozehounds
Uh, wrestling a cop for his gun = lethal force.
Necrothus
That's the police side of the story, but they also claimed he was shot in the car
Necrothus
Yet the EMT report showed he was found 30+ feet from the vehicle and there was no blood evidence in the car. It does not jive.

B/c the cops are never racist, and they almost certainly never lie... *cough*MarkFurman*cough*
