"The Sixties;" that's so fucking appropriate.

Okay. America has hit a new low. Someone call in Sal so he can excuse it away.

**notorious bum** · 2014-08-19 00:47

Well, the city did hire a PR team of pretty white folks to help out. Looking forward to their attempts to rewrite history and spin these events 15 ways to hell.

**Salodin** · 2014-08-19 00:48

Nah, you won't see me do that.

Capt. Johnson just said two protesters were shot with live fire from the "protest side."

http://new.livestream.com/accounts/9...events/3271930 is up again. They were trying to penetrate the locked-down area and failed, so they went back to base. It's media chatting among themselves at the moment.

"Captain Johnson says that his media briefing will not be kind to the media. He is unhappy with them"

Insane. Capt. Johnson said "all of the people we arrested tonight weren't being peaceful."Um, the world saw you arrest ppl on knees, hand up

jeremy scahill ‏@jeremyscahill 35s

CNN's Don Lemon to Capt. Johnson: "I hope you're not mad at us." No sense of irony: anchor then says Don has "date" w Johnson tomorrow

**kuronosan** · 2014-08-19 01:14

I'd be mad at the media too if they didn't let me abuse my toys in private. Fucking ridiculous.

Police are driving through a residential neighbor, a side street off Florissant, with an APC shooting gas canisters

**6souls** · 2014-08-19 01:24

"Police just shot at least three tear gas canisters at me. One hit my leg, one my backpack."
"They're saying "Go home" I literally have nowhere to go. I'm hiding. A @bellevillenewsd photog, other journo with me. "
"We held up media credentials. They drove into parking lot of private apartment complex and shot tear gas in circle, 10ft from us."
"They circled us, shot tear gas. We're in bushes. Street we needed to get to car was blocked off by officers in armed vehicles."
"Our photographer @zianizami was hit by canister on arm. "
