Paraphrased: "Every time we go one way we get redirected to go another way to avoid the area."

Basically they got the neighborhood locked down, no media in or out.

This is a very very bad situation and it's going to get far worse if they keep this crap up.

1. You know they planned this.

Seriously, if we Americans allow this to stand, we don't deserve our freedom. People in an American city are being held under martial law and nobody of any authority is doing anything to help them right now.

2. The media needs to revolt.

This is bullshit.

3. Because of the dynamics where I live

this is frightening...it is setting a lot of ugly precedent. I hope the timeline for Holder to arrive gets moved up. I am not criticizing Obama but there is precedent for him to intervene here...I certainly hope that he uses his Presidential power and does it without worrying about the politics of it.

5. I heartily agree.

This needs to be put to a stop. It really is setting a very dangerous precedent. What I am watching is horrible. There is no freedom of the press tonight and cops are inciting peaceful protestors.

He's going to raise hell he said if they deny him again.
