Two police officers have been shot during a protest outside Ferguson Police Station, according to the St. Louis County Police chief, who said the men are conscious, but their injuries are “very serious.”
A 32-year-old officer from Webster Groves was shot in the face and a 41-year-old from St. Louis County was shot in the shoulder, Chief Jon Belmar told journalists at a press conference. He added that both the injured were being treated at a local hospital.
“These police officers were standing there and they were shot, just because they were police officers,” Belmar said.
The shooting broke out as the rally outside the police station was subsiding early on Thursday.
A Reuters photographer at the scene said a few dozen demonstrators fled following the sound of gunfire with some screaming, “They hit a cop.”
The St Louis County Police chief said at least three shots were fired during the rally. No suspects have yet been identified, he added.
the vibrant youtz ratchet up the social tension another notch… summer fireworks are shaping up to be spectacular ….must get more popcorn.
That’s what I’m afraid of, here in West Mich it has been pretty cold and snowy, once it really starts to warm up the gangs all get back together.
If I were the Po-Po….I’d announce that due to the tensions in Ferguson we will no longer patrol black neighborhoods nor will we arrested any blacks whatsoever. It will be like the movie “The Purge”…..good hunting to you all.
Granted cops are not perfect humans beings, who is, but without them your city turns into Mogadishu in about 3 days. Especially if your city contains a lot of these “youths” AND the libtard progs have disarmed the law abiding citizens.
Gonna be a looong hot summer in places like Chicago, Atlanta, NYC, LA, Baltimore, DC etc, The screams of the liberal dogooders as their all white gated communities are overrun by the feral underclass their policies have created will be music to my ears.
Yup, I’m a bitch. So is Karma.
Once again, U guys miss the point. Whites, blacks, nen, women, asians…everyone has been scammed by the biggest crime organization in the world – the US government.
The government wants this strife as an excuse to impose martial law. They need this because the economy collapsed & their are not enough jobs.
Whites I know cannot find jobs & many blame everyone but the government because many believe the government is there to protect them from “those people”. Blacks I know overwhelmingly don’t trust government but will take handouts because they tend to live in areas with few jobs. Whites think that is because blacks ruined it, but 1st the government allowed deindustrialization, which is now creeping into poor white & middle class areas.
It is U vs. them and U are lumped in along with blacks, hispanics, etc. because U are not them. Them equals the rich & Obama is 1 of them.
A race war would take everyone’s eyes of the government/rich looting the nation. They declare martial law or get idiots to fight over the crumbs, they maintain power. If all the ethnic groups banded together, they/rih/government would lose.
How do I know? I’m one of “them” but they disgust me when they take advantage of people & destroy the country & terrorize poor countries like Iraq, which did nothing to them.
People are suckers.
It’s time for the few remaining YTs to turn Ferguson over to the ‘groids. Completely. Let ’em attempt to POlice themselves, put out they fires, &TC. Should be an interesting summer!
Econ man : Not a conspiracy. The government isn’t that smart. It’s just the consequence of Section 8 housing rendering pre existing private property null and void.
That is not a good place to move to and buy property. Quit the opposite.
All predictable, all a spontaneously organizing result of a spontaneously organized phenomenon.
Disorder —->renewal—–>order—->prosperity—->complacency—->disorder—->….
Times got so good that people believed we were in a New Era where poverty and all other social ills could be eliminated…all it took was electing the right rulers and following the advice of the right experts, apply some force (and if that failed, Get A Bigger Hammer) and——-voila—– heaven on Earth.
I think that’s called “complacency.”
This column is about some of the early Disorder.
Mark, to your point, one of the trends will be to devalue property in general. Between arbitrary seizure, a likely attempt to tax its way out of the public pension hole before the towel is thrown in, and (as you note) Section 8 seeding middle America with criminals, I look for residential real estate to nosedive in value in wave after wave of regional decline.
Your house will decline in value in direct proportion to any and all of the following:
1. Rising property taxes.
2. Rising regional or neighborhood crime.
3. Neighbors’ involvement with black market transactions.
4. Rising interest rates.
5. Declining mortgage loan availability.
6. Shrinking local job market.
Looks like a lot of places face a perfect storm of all 6 at once.
I own my house outright, but also carry it “mentally” as zero value on my ledger, because in the worst case I might have to simply walk (or run) away from it. Those counting on their houses as a live-in-and-enjoy retirement account are taking a big chance.

Oh, you mean just the way you copfuks shot Rodney Brown? Karma is a real bitch, eh?
Ferguson citizens also suffer from an extremely high rate of nuisance fines issued by copfuks. Minor shit and constant low-level harassment. Was a big article about it, but I’m too lazy to look for it. So, there’s some blow-back / frustration built deep inside the citizen’s brains.
Am I excusing the rioting? No.
Do I understand it? Yes.
Do I give a fuck? No. Some of you keep wanting people to revolt, and when they do, you don’t like it. I don’t get it.
Fanning the Racial Flames, again, what a shock.
Still buying into it, still blaming the victims of rich guy’s policies for ending up in the exact place they were forced too. Exactly the same thing we have done to the Native Americans.
Meanwhile the unseen, unacknowledged, but very real, continued destruction of business will continue to produce these stunning displays of vented rage.
@Card, SE Michigan too. We have had three or four, murder/suicides in the past few weeks. Almost all revolve around families with job loss or pending incarceration.
I see people being herded into preordained roles, of us vs them while our true destroyers laugh over their vaults of wealth in their foreign, secured, housing.
Must remember to remember the things to be grateful for, every single day. No matter how dark it becomes, I can hold onto that. I still have blessings in my life.
I’m battening down hatches now, it proves to be a bumpy ride – with lots of stop and frisk encounters thrown in as a bonus, rejoice! We will all be safer from the dark devils.
cops murder innocent civilian …not a peep from neocon talk radio. Thug shoots cop…neocon radio goes full tilt stupid…not that I condone any sort of violence, but if the police and the state think they can continue to murder with impunity sans any repercussion from the mass of morons they pretend to represent , then they are as stupid as they are tyrannical….and history is replete with examples of what eventually becomes of tyrannical leadership.
DC-I own my house outright, but also carry it “mentally” as zero value on my ledger
wise man.

Is this just a case of monkey see/ monkey do, or is this Ferguson thing a domestic version of the Arab Spring uprising in the middle east stirred up by our favorite shit stirrers down at the Company?
I don’t know what economic purpose created ferguson, whatever it is, it is long gone. The answer to these sorts of problems, and indeed, the creator of peaceful, prosperous america, is competitive privately (nor oligarch swindled) owned business, and gainful private employment in productive industries. Everything else is just spin. Everything else is just destructive. Econman, homerun. It is that simple. People with nothing good to do will find something bad to do. Idle hands are the devils workshop.
Room 101. It’s almost here.
Remember the dialog in Orwell’s1984 between Smith and O’Brien at the Ministry of Love? Smith had asked what was in room 101. O’Brien finally tells Smith;
‘You asked me once,’ said O’Brien, ‘what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world.’
‘The worst thing in the world,’ said O’Brien, ‘varies from individual to individual. It may be burial alive, or death by fire, or by drowning, or by impalement, or fifty other deaths. There are cases where it is some quite trivial thing, not even fatal.’
That’s what I think is coming. Whether it’s now thought to be a race war, civil war, anarchy or whatever one may title it, it will be all against all, economically, mentally and physically.
It all seems so managed, I cant quite place the hands but it certainly seems scripted.
The Justice Dept release, and the Chief’s resignation over ‘racism’ are smoke, distracting most from the obvious effects of policy/statute. The dialectic conflict cements the distraction.
Will mercenaries be deployed to raise the bar?
It would be better if such a palpable division was not growing between everyday Americans.
The real culprits have retreated far into the shadows.

There are several things going on here and none of them have anything to do with Michael Brown.
1) The pattern of discrimination towards non-whites and the lesser fortunate by the donut eaters.
2) Mainly smaller cities using the donut eaters as a municipal revenue source by abusing traffic laws.
Both of these are nationwide issues. If local governments don’t want to change things, nor care how the donut eaters are viewed in their communites, the donut eaters deserve everything they get.
Copfuks can really fuck up peoples lives in so many ways, but it’s not entirely their fault, it is also the fault of the courts that they are in collusion with. Frankly I’m surprised district attorneys aren’t targeted.
Here is a Copfuk story from my past.
After I was divorced, my father had terminal prostate cancer. He told me he didn’t want to die in a nursing home so I agreed to move in with him. I didnt do much except to cook his meals and provide some company.
About a year prior I was pulled over for having expired tags on my car. It was a $20 fine so I just mailed it in. What I didnt realize is that I misread the cops shitty handwriting. It was actually a $28 fine but the 8 looked like a zero to me. The city had my licenses suspended for underpaying the ticket, but I was never informed.
I the shitneck town where my father lived, with a police force at least as notorious as Ferguson Missouri’s, I was pulled over on the way to work by a copfuk for doing 35 in a 25 zone, nevermind that it was completely rural. Once the copfuk found my license was suspended he had my vehicle compounded. It was a cold rainy november and I was about two miles from the house. I didn’t even have a coat. I asked the copfuk if he could at least give me a ride home and he refused.
I developed a nasty cold after the walk home. Getting the license reinstated wasnt hard, but it took a few phone calls and I had to mail the fucking $ bucks because these cities do not accept electronic payment. I also had to pay the city $70 bucks for the impound fee (wft?) and they would only accept cash, so I had to walk to the bank to get the cash. Then I had to get my cancer ridden dad into his car so I could go the the impound lot and retrieve my vehicle, which also only accepted cash.
Since I was also ticketed for not wearing a seat belt, upon my court appearance, the judge offered to reduce my fines if I would take a safety course. He didn’t give a flying fuck about my story. In my most polite fuck you language, I declined.
All my fault? You decide. For me, fuck cops and fuck the courts.

Compounded, eh? That’s awesome. Did he also wax the car?

Your sister … the one I had the hots for.
@Zara, though mine can’t match yours in heartstring pulling, I had similar situation.
I was in Colorado for sales training, there was this phenomenal red beer, brewed locally, on tap and on special nearly everyday for the two weeks I was there.
On the 2nd to the last day I woke up with hives over 70% of body. I had to take enough Benadryl to almost knock me out, which kept the swelling temporarily at bay, but allowed me to finish sales training, and come home.
The hives were so bad, that I took benadryl before leaving for the airport, and 45 minutes later in the security I line, I so scared the lady behind me that I had to take more (even as I barely kept awake). I was singled out for special processing and almost not allowed on the plane. Thankfully, benadryl kicked and I was declared safe.
I got home around midnight on Sunday, the next day was my birthday.
Woke up in the morning with hives over my ENTIRE body – including eyelids – and benadryl did not stop it, I went to the doctor and forgot all about my tags.
That Thursday, three days later, I get a $120 ticket in the mail. Bastard cop ticketed my car, parked in front of my house at 12:01 am the day after my birthday. I was still covered in bumps, itching to the point of high blood pressure and being used a drug guinea pig by my doctor.
I tried to call my son to come home and get a power of attorney to go and renew our plates, but before he answered he arrived home, with a ticket.
$240 for three days past my birthday with hives that ended up lasting eight weeks and cost me thousands trying to fix. Plus the $200 in tags.
I hate cops, if the bastard would have knocked on my door I would have had them renewed that day.
Well said Starfckr. The answer to most societal ills is good jobs. It’s no coincidence Detroit is a shithole after the jobs left.
