I swear. I was just watching ABC evening news and the frantic tone of the reader relaying how police are warning that there may be disruptors in Ferguson who might have knives and other weapons seeking to harm people or hackers trying to take down law enforcement systems was just unbelievable. The media and law enforcement are doing the work of every freaking racist hate monger in the nation. This is even more chilling in light of the news last night of Anonymous' discoveries. One can only hope that the Grand Jury gives a reasoned verdict. I am so disgusted with Missouri officials. They certainly have not covered themselves with glory. Most disappointing are Gov. Nixon and Sen. McCaskill. Warm thoughts to the people of Ferguson as they face this new trial ahead.

If they cant put Black people in prison they will kill them in the streets, gladly.
Yes, I know the Gov is a Democrat, but he isnt really.

(13,390 posts)That's why FOX encourages and exploits shouting matches. I think to some extent, I do think it's true that they would appreciate the opportunity to exploit violence.
But, I think only people in that insulated circle and members of hate groups really thirst for that.

In a neighboring town, Berkeley, officials this week passed out fliers urging residents to be prepared for unrest just as they would a major storm with plenty of food, water and medicine in case they're unable to leave home for several days
