What's going on right now speaks volumes about our government and "law enforcement" in this country, and where the true power is. I want to preface this by saying I am not a sensationalist, conspiracy theorist, etc...and never engage in this sort of dialogue. Sht is getting real now though.
This is setting the precedent on a national level for how people are to be handled when they aren't happy with how an institution of authority is acting. It is being demonstrated that these institutions can not only act however they please, but they can also act to silence us when we are unhappy with they're actions. This is simply not right and goes against the entire constitution, which exists to protect us from this very thing.
These bullies are not only silencing us, but the media. Since when can police censor the media? Since when is it acceptable to crush cameras and arrest/threaten reporters because they are doing their jobs and covering an issue? How can this be allowed?
Our dear friend Thomas Jefferson had a great point when he saidWhen governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny
Clearly they do not fear us and know that they can act with impunity and THAT is why we should all be concerned, because this shows exactly how this sht would be handled anywhere else.
What can we do about it? I don't know tbh. But should something be done? I think so. We can't let this be the standard for how this sort of thing is dealt with.

We have the right to protest not riot and burn down stores, loot stores, throw molotovs and shoot at police and expect them not to use force lol. About the media thing idk but seems like they just did that when the media refused to move or getting in their way when they're trying to do their job. They had set up command posts for the media. I'd get pissed off too if I had Infowars guys there questioning everything and not listening to the cops telling them to move down the street cause "it's our right!! You can't tell me what to do with your militarized vehicles!!" There was more media than protesters tonight lmao. There's other ways to protest about something you don't like than going out there and looting and burning down buildings. They crossed the line in Ferguson when they did that as well as throwing molotovs, shooting at police etc.
What they were doing was pointless as fuk.

You can't legally set up a little area and tell reporters they cannot leave it, that isn't how the law works. Also please see freedom of the press http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_the_press535 deadlift.

Ferguson - where are the pro-gun people? (no troll, srs thread)
Firstly, neg if you feel you have to but I'm asking a srs question.
We hear a lot from the pro-gun lobby, open carry advocates etc that they need personal weapons to protect themselves against a corrupt or aggressive govt.
Surely what's happening in Ferguson is a prime example? Where are the tooled up citizens?
Is it to do with the gun laws in that particular state or what?

Yes i'm all for that but not when they're making it hard for people to do their job. It was more them trying to do their job and the media getting in the way. The cops were trying to their job and he was in their way.. then he doesn't want to show the card and keeps asking them questions lol. Tons of media got robbed for not listening anyways lol

Authoritarian Statists don't like the Constitution, and since they're in charge of the education system since 1991, they have drilled it into all the Millennial generation that Constitution == Bad, Private Citizens == Bad, Central Government == God, Cultural Enrichment From 3rd World == Good, Melting Pot == Good, White Culturelessness == Good, Self-Defense == Bad, Guns + Private Citizens == Bad, Welfare State == Good, Choice == Bad (too risky), etc etc etc

the looting and and break ins has nothing to do with the protest the, cops in military gear hurting people is not even catching the looters they are harassing the protestors and the media with strong arm bullying. Your a great example of an idiot, who doesn't see the abuse of the military police, using tanks, noise disruption and tear gas on media and protestors, your sitting back thinking it's ok cause your a ignorant dumb fck when it's not it's bullying of citizens.
"oh they are looting"
no some people are looting , not all. Anytime there is storm, disaster, rioting there will be idiots who loot and cause mayhem. Doesn't mean the cops can bully the media and peaceful people who are protesting. It is fine to use force to take down rioters and looters but it is not fine to shoot at media with tear gas and also rubber bullets on people who standing with hands up.

what you can do is buy lots guns and join/form a militia. preferably one with large numbers that outnumbers the police and any would-be looters.

I've actually been watching lots of streams from inside Ferguson and seems like it's being handled pretty great. They haven't shot and killed anyone even after people launching molotovs and shooting at them. The only deaths have been from rioters shooting other rioters. Inb4 police state and martial law fema camp etc theories
And just to put it out there i'm all for protesting for things we don't agree with but come on they aren't going to change anything the way they're going about it. Brb burning down your own community and looting stores is really going to show them!Last edited by younq-dro; 08-19-2014 at 02:12 AM.

Are you stupid? Not one single person on this forum is going to defend a looter. The problem isn't with how they are handing looters, it's how they are handling EVERYONE else from reporters to peaceful protesters. They are shooting out tear gas and sht completely unprovoked.
What the fuk are they putting in your bagged milk to make you so dense.535 deadlift.

It's not legal to just go out shooting people indiscriminately.
It sounds like you have the idea that you can just go out shooting rioters and looters, you can't, they have to pose a direct threat to life and limb.
Anyways, All of the "tooled up" store owners are probably the only stores that aren't getting looted.

They did the same thing in Anaheim just a year or 2 ago when the cops murdered some other kid in hand cuffs
No surprise that a country that's willing to go half way across the world to invade other countries for oil would do the same to it's own citizens if they ever stopped the tax funding profit cycle. The government is there so they can use people to make themselves richer and more powerful in return for false hope and fantasy dreams.
