The shit is really breaking out here now. They just tear gassed the crowd again. Someone needs to get control of this quick. They are lined up with riot gear and have armored trucks with heavily armed guys on top with the guns pointed at the people. These are peaceful protesters, many of them residents on their own property, and they're being tear gassed and hit with stun grenades. They tear gassed the state senator last night while she was in someone's yard. Two reporters were arrested earlier
@jackietheripper insanity, was watching this on the telly. Had the same craziness in LA with Rodney King Riots, scary crazy times.. stay safe my friend.
Apparently some people were throwing stuff at the police. They're extremely frustrated. The police almost seem to be provoking it. They haven't released any info and the people don't trust them. This is a long standing problem in St. Louis County. And then they show up with a heavy military like presence during the day with weapons drawn on people. If they want to put a curfew into effect, there are legal ways to do that, but the police have no authority to do that. And for them to try to tell
people when they can protest is ridiculous. I don't know what they are thinking here. They are pushing the people back into the neighborhoods and then tear gassing those neighborhoods. People live there, there are children there.
@jackietheripper OH? DIDN´T REALIZE YOU WERE THERE...I saw anonymous released the name of the officer who shot, did you see that? I hope all is better today... love the jam and the background @philipnareike
@jackietheripper I soooo understand what you're telling, on this police provoking tactics, and cornering the population... I really hope things get cleared up and the boy's death gets justice...

I expect they will put a curfew into effect tonight. They should have done that yesterday instead of the way they handled it.
