Protesters are now getting violent in Ferguson.

The police officer has been found not guilty.

Shortly after I heard I've been following my scanner radio app and it doesn't sound pretty. Shots fired and looting but seems somewhat in control.

All our members in Ferguson be safe.

What gets me is its minorities looting and burning down other minoritis properties. What does this have to do with justice for Mike Brown? Sounds like earl Christmas shopping to me...

Bernie Kerik: Ferguson Rioters Couldn't Care Less About Justice

"The people that are rioting most likely, I would say 90 to 95 percent of them, are not from Ferguson, they're from somewhere else and they said early on they're going to do this whether this guy gets indicted or doesn't get indicted. It doesn't make any difference. They were coming to do this."

I read a report somewhere that most of them were from there. Not sure though.

Grand jury's do not decide guilt or innocence, there only purpose is to decide weather or not their is enough evidence to issue an inditement to charge a suspect...........


Not hear to argue about what's right or wrong, just wanted to clear that up.

Thank you for clarifying MLSS

One upside to the burning & looting, it shined a spotlight not just on police behavior in Ferguson but on the larger problem of cops around the country who see black people as "disposable." They weren't being violent, they were responding to state violence.
