BreakingNews: Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Johnson says Molotov cocktails were thrown; police had to act to protect lives, property - live video

BreakingNews: Molotov cocktails were thrown at police, police were shot at and barricades were set up to block them, Missouri official says - live video

I thought this was supposed to be a peaceful riot

This situation keeps escalating.
I wish it didn't get to this point. Its not ok to start getting violent it doesnt help the cause at all. It takes all the attention away from justice for MB who was murdered by a cop and instead keeps the focus on the "dangerous" riots

Um yeah. It was peaceful until police started shooting rubber bullets, tear gas, etc at the protesters and pointing rifles at them like they are at war.

Everything is allegedly. Some say fireworks were confused as gunshots and some say otherwise.

I saw a video of the police walking onto someones property, on their deck, and tacklling/choke holding them because they were filming. The cops literally grabbed the phone from a girls hands. Cops are such trash...

lol as if people were able to shoot at cops in a city on lockdown that's swarming with militarized police and somehow managed to get away.

Just heard the victim was involved with robbery, and with his 6.4 foot approaching in a menacing manner the police officer. Also he shoot him 3 times in the body but it didn't stop him, so he decided to shoot him in the head.

I jumped

This really needs to be an indication that there has to be a limitation on what police can do / get away with. I mean.. this entire situation could have been avoided if an officer used his authority / power correctly, but didn't. Everything that has transpired is a result of the problems with our justice system.

I am so tired of your ill-informed comments.

Thats all bs to defend the cop. They are going to try to ruin Mike Browns name and paint him as a dangerous thug.

1 The officer that killed him didn't know about the robbery
2 Robbery isn't punishable by death, there are other ways to detain somebody
3 Eye witnesses say MB wasn't close to the cop and after being shot, MB was on the floor with both his hands up saying don't shoot(and was shot a few more times)
4 He was unarmed

There are no excuses. There will be no punishment though because he was white and a cop, and Mike was just another black kid

What type of oxymoron?

and the autopsy.

At this point, it's self-defense on the protesters' part. People who are standing peacefully in their own front yards are being shot with rubber bullets and tear gas. Citizens have the right to defend their rights to a peaceful protest.

Except, multiple witnesses state he had his hands up telling the officer "not to shoot".

The bullet wounds to Michael's inner bicep fall in line with being shot while your hands are up. In addition, the gun wound to his head indicates the top of his head was slanted towards the officer, which strongly implies he was shot while kneeling down. I mean, unless the officer jumped up into the air and shot down at Michael's head.

Hmh, that's what I have read in The Guardian and Der Spiegel, the leading newspapers in Europe.

Well, if that's makes me ...... trash, then I would love to hear what you are, much XO

Don't believe it.
How do they not have footage of these rioters throwing them, especially with all the cameras that were there?

The police in the US are waaaay too trigger happy.

Who makes a robbery is a priori dangerous, they don't have to paint them at court but it's somehow important to calm down the riots.

Asking ten people about a crime they have witnessed, you would get 10 different answers.


Also heard about a second autopsy, after that we see (or me) clearer.


I mean I can't deny that this cop probably shot him in cold blood, but hey, you said there are

many witnesses who have seen this. But think twice, if the cop was that coldblooded, why would

he do that in front of a bunch of witnesses?
