I've never been in a riot, but I've covered a decent number of crime scenes. Only once have I had a policeman get pissed off at me, and I was definitely in the wrong there. Generally you have to respect the perimeters that police, fire, or whatever give you. It'd be weird in this situation. It seems like the cops are treating the entire city as a crime scene (pretty sure not legal to do), and trying to keep out anyone trying to get information to the public out. Pretty disgusting.

Clearly we need Federal gun control laws for local police departments. Obama should call in the national guard to stop the Ferguson PD.

Felix Rex moves to Ferguson.

That would be incredible right now.

Can we all agree that these rough ridin' cops are completely rough ridin' up and really scary?

i'm pretty sure #life and FSD are on team be afraid of the scary black people but otherwise we have consensus

There is apparently a black panther in Ferguson and Megyn Kelly wants to "deal with this black panther issue." I've never watched this show with Megyn Kelly before but it is amazing. Two nights in a row she's had a black man calling these looters thugs and low lifes but completely not addressing the other issues at play here.

Megyn Kelly could die in a fire and I would not give a single eff.

Sitting here catching up on the latest from Ferguson. Awful.

the real problem here is that we're not paying our police officers enough money and as a result the profession is not attracting quality professionals.

If there is a riot going on no one is reporting it, the entire story is now the police presence. I've watched 3 straight hours of live coverage tonight on three different networks and I haven't heard one report about rioting tonight.

Mich: in fairness to PBS they are usually a half day to a day behind at times because they actually investigate facts, vet sources, and do the journalisty thing.

Sorry, riot wasn't the right word. Was just saying it seems like the police are making the entire town a crime scene, which seems wrong and is probably illegal.

There is no way this ends well for the St. Louis County Police.

The diligent ones will schedule properly to pick up round-the-year jobs as concession workers for the Rams, Blues and Cardinals.
