MO Highway Patrol in charge of Ferguson now. Blockaded streets to be opened, HP captain(who is from Ferguson) claims his officers have all been ordered to leave their protective gas masks out of their rollouts: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...mous/14046707/

It's a good column, the problem is that he's still a scumbag libertarian and therefore a psychopath.

People on tumblr saying that now even Twitter is censoring Ferguson images and etc.

How can I trust what you say? Your title is blax n guns; blacks with guns is scary!

But yes, lollibertarianism. At least he manages to have something resembling a leg to stand on as long as he avoids the economic aspects of his ideology.

I've seen kind of the opposite, Tumblr is totally censored, Twitter is a nonstop stream of it for me and I don't even follow many politically related things. Unless they mean hashtags being artificially kept down, idk as I don't really use those functions.

While I feel Tumblr is a massive shithole, I'm finding a lot of images, videos and large collection of tweets there. To be honest I don't use twitter that much, which is why I wasn't sure if that statement is true. Glad to hear Twitter is still doing well. I hope this evening passes better than the last few. Post any interesting bits here if you find anything on twitter.

fwiw I did click the Discover tab on twitter just now and there's some Ferguson news in the center timeline feed part, but looking at the trends hashtags on the side there was absolutely nothing regarding #Ferguson; though looking at it absolutely all of it is videogame-related so that might be due to algorithms filtering things based on my activity.

Tumblr isn't bad as long as you avoid the SJW/Tumblr feminists.

No, but I hear a cats stuck up a tree on 5th and main. Police are deploying an APC, SWAT and canisters of flashbangs to secure the perimeter and restore order.

So where's the Tea Party fury here? I mean, cops are basically militarized, going around on an overreach spree and the loudest advocates for a clawback of big gummint are quiet as church mice.

I guess the right demographic cocktail hasn't been met to trip the alarms huh.

Aren't they the ones who wanted the local cops to be armed like this after 9/11? You know, to stop all the brown-skinned muslim terrorists that are running loose around the country trying to turn us all into heathen communists.

Not even community leaders were safe from being arrested yesterday - https://twitter.com/AntonioFrench

Edit: woman who was out last night trying to bring calm was shot with a rubber bullet




Edit2: that woman is "Rev. Renita Lamkin. She's the pastor of St. John AME Church in St. Charles" and has been out at nearly every protest involving this incident.

I guess this is a post allegedly made by the Ferguson Chief of Police's wife:

A post from a group claiming that it is associated with Anonymous said that the wife of the Ferguson, Mo., police chief said African-Americans in Ferguson "are feral and violent," among other things.

The tweet references a Facebook post that is not from Jackson’s wife. The woman in the picture lives in Florida not Missouri.
