If true and they announce in a day or two that there will be no charges filed against the officer, the riots we've seen will look tame.

Significant force will be needed. There will be more blood shed before this burns itself out.

If you're in LE anywhere right now, be careful out there, this could spread like wildfire no matter where you work. Those MANG troops will have their hands full tonight, I pray that none of them get hurt because of this mess.

I'm more concerned about the response when/if a) they announce no charges will be filed against the Police b) he is charged and acquitted.

I predict LA Riots on a larger scale.

ETA: We have had a situation in Upstate SC where a person was stopped for a seatbelt and is on MVR telling the officer to "Shoot me down like Michael Brown".

Sorry, just read this. 100% on target. There will still be suit filed, and it will likely end in a pay day for the family based on him being unarmed. Not because (based on this report alone) he did anything wrong, but because it's easier to sign a check than fight it.

ETA: This has undoubtedly been corroborated. It was on Fox and CNN earlier today 08/20.

This is exactly the kind of cop nobody needs out there. And by there I mean anywhere. I hope he gets fired and charged.

http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/51598475 ... ght/541859

He's already been removed from duty but what exactly that means at the moment is unknown.

Walking into a crowd of protesters pointing a rifle at all of them and yelling "I'll fucking kill you!" and sticking his muzzle right at people who are all holding cameras and pretty much just hanging around. Fucking idiot.

Thanks for the help pal. You can go now. Far away. Please.

Saw that while I was eating lunch today....what a winner.

To what you talking about, we were briefed today. We're expecting to get some flak with the University right there.

I hope other people are paying attention as well and keep the armored vehicles and swat teams well away from any protests. If nothing else comes from this whole mess we can at least learn from it what not to do.

I was driving in to work earlier tonight and saw the signs that were posted in my area. Things will either get sporty for all on this day of rage or it will be the typical friday night in my hood. Either way, odds are there will be crimes committed. Its just a matter of what reason it gets done for- "targets of opportunity" or "targets of opportunity cuz I'm part of the free shit crowd and want my free shit no matter who I have to hurt to get it".
