CNN is reporting that the report of Darren Wilson having a fractured eye socket is false. cc: @FoxNews, specifically @SeanHannity


Unrelated, but meanwhile in Chile, protestors hitting 300k large against student reforms:

#Chile: 300000 have rallied in Santiago, millions across the country against reforms. #PorLosQueVienen #YoMarchoEl21

Damn, if true then this cop has very little going for him. If there isn't a bullet in his car somewhere then he might as well get his affairs in order...

what does knife dude or chile have to do with The Ferguson, Missouri thread?

[NynJa]

what does knife dude or chile have to do with The Ferguson, Missouri thread?

I dont know about Chile, considering Ferguson is more or less in St. Louis (17 minutes by car according to Google, from where I live to downtown Calgary is listed at 26 minutes, and I definitely live in Calgary), and the knife dude happened in St. Louis, I dont see how it could not be relevant.

[notorious bum]

There's no general protesting thread, just threw that in as filler/related imagery. Only things I see in the twittersphere are people relaying similar protests happening worldwide going on right now or have happened in the past.

Also, read about the makeshift teachings going on in the libraries of Ferguson and how they have decided to not have dialog with the children about what/why stuff has been happening in their town.

And funny statistics like this, too

[Correction]

The knife incident is completely unconnected to the death of Michael Brown or the ensuing demonstrations.
The way the police handled it is another data point for their training and field procedures I guess. The main difference is how quick they were to release information about this death than Brown's.

And funny statistics like this, too

I can attest to this firsthand. About 8-9 years back a 15mph car accident that dented some guy's bumper put me in a spiral that led to me getting arrested 3 times, losing a job due to that, and almost having to file bankruptcy because I was too broke to deal with a mid-level ticket.

The police know everything we do

"Police officer in #Ferguson told us that they were monitoring social media for intel. Obvious, but interesting to hear them say it."

This is what the state of Missouri has on file for the military surplus items they have received;

The Post-Dispatch reported last week that under a federal program to give excess military equipment to local police forces, various police agencies in St. Louis County received 12 5.56mm rifles and six .45-caliber pistols between Aug. 2, 2010, and Feb. 13, 2013. They also received 15 “reflex” gun sights, four night vision devices and three night sights, as well as a $10,000 explosive ordnance robot, three helicopters, seven Humvees and three cargo trailers. One helicopter alone was originally worth $200,000.

The Post-Dispatch also reported that state data obtained in 2012 show that St. Louis County police received at least two helicopters, computer equipment, two old SUVs and roughly 20 Kevlar helmets since 2007.

Ferguson received medical supplies, computer equipment and dozens of large backpacks and wool blankets through the program, records show, as well as a generator, a trailer and several utility vehicles.

Ferguson police spokesman Tim Zoll said last week his agency has no military level weapons or armor, except for two Humvees donated by the Missouri National Guard after a tornado.

It was probably mentioned earlier in this thread but something like half of Ferguson's revenue comes from those low-level traffic tickets.

[Not Kuno]

Apparently the guy busted for throwing a water bottle or something was wearing the same exact shoes as the cops, leading people to think it was someone with the police to provide a reason for cops to assault a peaceful protest.

7 Arrests in Ferg in the last 24 hours, none from Ferg

Those places are all a less than 20 minute drive away:
St. Ann 11 min
UNI 13 min
Jennings 8
Berkeley 5 min

That's hardly "not from Ferg"
