    i thought people were going to be more sad and more somber.

    people are fucking pissed off.

    Still no reason to act like fucking animals. Go home. No, I don't understand your anger. I haven't been exposed to police brutality. But I can't imagine being so mad over someone I didn't know being killed by a cop in what the grand jury deemed as self defense, that I want to go steal, loot, and vandalize my own community.

    Why? Is he being summoned, or volunteering?

    got summoned. reinforcements i guess.

    i know the guy pretty well for about 15 years. my 16 year old nephew really looks up to him. i can imagine him saying "i'm not even supposed to be here today!!" like dante from clerks.

    thank you.

    i am ok. i'm about 5 miles away from all of the shit in ferguson. he is closer to the other gathering downtown, which from most accounts is a little more peaceful.

    The Ferguson market and liquor store is being actively looted right now. Unbelievable.

    CNN cameras are showing 40-50 people running in empty handed and running out arms full of liquor and beer. I'm sure thats exactly how they the peaceful protestkrs wanted to get their point across. It would be nice if the cops got that footage and arrested everyone they could recognize stealing from that store.

    Thanks to you both for giving a local perspective on this.

    During the last hurricane in New Orleans I believe they threw all captured looters into general population at the big notorious prison and left them for there for almost a week. Why can't St. Louis do that? This is disgusting.

    Yeah seems fine so far. I live around where the second officer shooting happened so for a month or so we've has similar protests, it is amazing what you can get used to in a short amount of time.

    Looks like a full on pumpkin fest is breaking out!

    Yeah, I just don't have the heart or whatever it could be labeled as, to make fun or jokes at this point.

    Bit of decorum or circumspect? If not, not. Figured I'd toss it out there.

    What....it ain't like somebody died or something! Oh wait....

    That female CNN reporter was getting pelted with cans and what looked like banannas and she said she wasn't in any danger. Jake tapper seemed surprised that there wasn't any police in that area! Go inside people.

    Anderson Cooper seems to be the only smart reporter. He's well out of danger at the command center!
