communities into the area? That way they could have let the people of Ferguson protest peaceably and not let rabble rousers from outside the area in to incite things.

2. I Hope You Are Kidding With Your Response - And For The Record It Isn't Funny......

by rabble rousers - I meant 'outside agitators' coming into the area just to incite and not the police.

5. But the police are doing more to incite violence than anyone

7. What outside agitators?

I'm not seeing the usual suspects: no Antifa, no BBU, minimal anarchist, mostly of the peace type.

Did you have others you wanted to watch? Quakers, maybe?

3. Those optics would be even worse for the police

And the confrontation would be moved to wherever they set up the checkpoint.

4. Why should people from outside the community have their right to Free Speech violated?

The vast majority of people coming in from out of town are peaceful.

6. Those "rabble rousers" arrested an entire truck full of people going home...

Some guy in a pick-up pulled up to the protesters after cops announced that all non-media had to disperse, he offered rides to anyone needing to get out of the area...young protesters piled in and left the scene.

That same truck was pulled over not far away...every person in it was arrested.

As Rachel said at the end of her show, it was the cops who turned it into a hostile situation tonight.

8. Segregate the town? Awful idea. nt
