So they are protesting because the Police Chief resigned..isn't that what they wanted? W-T-F?
BREAKING: Two police officers were shot and seriously wounded early Thursday outside the police department in Ferguson, Mo. amid protests that followed the resignation of the town's police chief.
St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar told a news conference just before 2 a.m. local time that a 41-year-old officer from St. Louis County was shot in the shoulder, while a 32-year-old officer from suburban Webster Groves was shot in the face. Both officers were taken to a local hospital. Belmar said both men were conscious, but had no further word about their condition except to describe the injuries as "very serious."
Belmar said that at least three shots were fired and were believed to come from a house across the street from the police department. He said he did not know who shot the officers.
The shooting was first reported by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
KTVI reported that as many as 200 protesters had gathered outside the police station to demand more changes in the city's government after the resignation of Police Chief Tom Jackson Wednesday afternoon. The station reported that at least one person had been arrested and that protesters were blocking traffic on nearby Florissant Road.
The Associated Press reported that the crowd had appeared to be dwindling when the shots were heard. The Missouri Highway Patrol told the AP that troopers were heading to the scene.
Jackson was the sixth Ferguson employee to resign or be fired after a Justice Department report cleared white former officer Darren Wilson of civil rights charges in the shooting of black 18-year-old Michael Brown this past August, but found a profit-driven court system and widespread racial bias in the city police department.
Mayor James Knowles III announced Wednesday that the city had reached a mutual separation agreement with Jackson that will pay Jackson one year of his nearly $96,000 annual salary and health coverage. Jackson's resignation becomes effective March 19, at which point Lt. Col. Al Eickhoff will become acting chief while the city searches for a replacement.
Jackson oversaw the Ferguson force for nearly five years before the shooting that stirred months of unrest across the St. Louis region and drew global attention to the predominantly black city of 21,000.
Jackson had previously resisted calls by protesters and some of Missouri's top elected leaders to step down over his handling of Brown's shooting and the weeks of sometimes-violent protests that followed. He was widely criticized from the outset, both for an aggressive police response to protesters and for his agency's erratic and infrequent releases of key information.
In addition to Jackson, Ferguson's court. clerk was fired last week and two police officers resigned. The judge who oversaw the court system also resigned, and the City Council on Tuesday agreed to a separation agreement with the city manager.

Ferguson is now an obama paradise.
It will devolve into a Rwanda type ethnic cleansing with the help of the DoJ.
Thank God I don't live there or own property in that area because you property values just went in the toilet.
You can take the monkey out of the jungle, but you can't take the jungle out of the monkey.
Even the semi-skill workers are slipping into poverty now and unrest with rioting will increase as The Police State ramps up more surveillance and data tracking to monitor any and all people to catch the perpetrators who wish to over throw the present political system that is failing with the present population.
FEMA camps come to mind to reeducate or eradicate the problem which has been plan for.

No, it's folks that voted for him that caused this! Look in the mirror and learn from your mistakes. I'm not talking about you mr hopper.
...why don't they dissolve the city?...let the animals take over the jungle...

No, they are itching to bring in the national guard and further divide this nation. Let the local cops handle it. Marshall law is what they want.
Damn police chief in a news conference said 3 shots were fired @125 yards away. Then says he believes its a handgun. Was Jerry Miculek in ferguson last night?
Ironically, Sharpton and Jackson are nowhere to be found. [:(!]
No money in it for them to be there...........

Bingo!
The job is done, the inmates are running the prison the race pimps can go to their next assignment.
Now if the Mayor of Ferguson was to pay some green to make this stuff go away those two would be on the 1st thing smoking to MO.
Texas DPS is hiring experienced officers.
Austin PD is hiring.
Actually, lots of police departments in Texas are short-handed and looking for recruits.
Walk away. Get the heck out of Ferguson. Let the idiots burn it to the ground. Just go and don't look back.

Bingo! They will/have been gathering intel on this and Obama and gang is just waiting to declare/sign another presidential order in my opinion.
serf
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Enough is enough, let the people of ferguson have their way and see how long it last.
Brad Steele
"green tip" ammunition out of an AR15 pistol.
And to top it off they destroyed all the progress made in race relations over many many years in something like six years
Hitler is piker compared to these two, he did diversions took him several years. The Obama/Holder team are pros compared to him.
Following the Alinsky teachings right down the line, has to hurry his time is growing short. Bring in more Muslims load us up with illegals and pour on the debt

Rev 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit.
Rev 9:3 And out of the smoke locusts came forth upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Rev 9:4 And they were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
Rev 9:5 And it was given to them that they should not kill them, but to torment them for five months. And their torment is like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.
Rev 9:6 And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will crave to die, and death will flee from them.

with in two weeks it would be a model city with all the kindness
I can't see what fool would want to be the new police chief of that crap hole.
An under-qualified minority that is desperate to fulfill his/her dream of being a command level officer will jump at that job. I can guarantee that then next permanent chief will not be white.
It would not surprise me if Captain Ron Johnson of the Missouri State Police isn't recruited and paid a large sum of money to take that Chief's job.

If city governments collapse and let the thugs win, the thugs will become emboldened. They will then try the same tactics on other localities until they control all of St. Louis. Then all of Missouri, then the Midwest, then the.......and so on until the U.S. is just another third-world hellhole. For evil to triumph, all that is required is for good people to let them.
Sorry, but that $#!+ would end right there at the Iowa border.
At this rate the US will be in a full race riot/war before obama is out. So he'll take this as an excuse to stay and do 4 more years. Which will prevent hillery from getting in so she'll have to cool her broom.
Bottom rises up, top is brought down...some Beck guy predicted this back before Obama was elected.
