    If you get contact information for the previous protestors, you could ask them if they ever got paid for their first performance and if they have received a request for an encore.

    police have been in a damned if they do damned if they don't situation

    last year they caught hell for heavy police presence during the first rights, then for not having enough during the riot after the grand jury reading



    cant get it right or be labeled racist, oh! wait that's already happened

    I hope not. I've got to be there in a couple of weeks. Don't know why they keep setting these meetings up when the darkies are restless. This trip we're assured a shuttle bus to the Federal Building so we can "pack heavy".

    When I was young, in the 1950s, I recall "inciting riot" was a capital offense and the police or property owners were not only allowed but encouraged to "shoot to kill". During that time I don't recall any riots being incited anywhere but in the movies. Guess times have changed since the prisoners have taken over the jail and the crooks have taken over the country.

    make sure to have the shuttle run you by market street between tucker and union station, look over at the park and report back what you see

    ALERT



    http://fox2now.com/2015/07/27/march-civil-disobedience-planned-in-ferguson/


    FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) - Several groups are joining together for events in Ferguson, Missouri, for the anniversary of the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown.

    Organizers are calling it the "Ferguson Uprising Commemoration Weekend." Plans announced Monday include a silent march starting at 11 a.m. Aug. 9 from Canfield Drive, the site of the shooting, to Greater St. Mark Family Church.

    Brown was unarmed when he was killed last Aug. 9 by a police officer in a shooting that galvanized the "Black Lives Matter" movement.

    The agenda also calls for civil disobedience on Aug. 10. Messages seeking clarification about what sort of civil disobedience is planned weren't returned.

    The coalition calls itself the Ferguson Action Council. It includes the Don't Shoot Coalition, Hands Up United, Organization for Black Struggle and others

    "make sure to have the shuttle run you by market street between tucker and union station, look over at the park and report back what you see"

    Pretty sure I don't get a choice on which route the shuttle takes. Actually sort of hoping they send a couple of the rent-a-cops to ride in with us.

    A volunteer group sponsored by a St. Louis radio station just did clean up and beautification work in Ferguson. Guess that may well have been a waste of time before this is all over.

    Its the only recreation the Gov check recipients get. Got no time to find work, get employment, but lots of time BBQ, Colt 45 Malt Liquor, or a handy 2x4.
    Half on disability, but are temporarily cured to walk their fat * around and play cover for the innocent protesters who later become looters and arsonists.
    What a crock, it is civil disobedience plain and simple. Blocking the roadways, commuters trying to get somewhere, but come upon civil un rest.
    If by unlawful assemble, then the crowd needs to disburse or arrested for disturbing the peace or unlawful assembly. All they need is a simple permit, protest with some "common sense". If not round them up and put them in a FEMA Camp and lose the key.
    I would bet that two thirds of the protesters get some kind of assistance, yet find a way to find a way to the "Demonstration" but not a way to work.
    Well just sit back, and watch the best St Louis "Demon-straters" can offer. Don't know if they are L.A. worthy but will give them a run for the money...
