ferguson police tear gas peaceful protesters

[blueblur121]

So who said it was peaceful other than the protesters themselves?
And who said that they were throwing molotovs other than the police?

Who was there that was not a protester or police.

that doesn't automatically mean everyone is lying you twit
drawings one's own conclusions from multiple sides and from multiple sources is a basic skill needed to be an intelligent human being

The claims of molotovs were made by police I believe.

All media is being taken down at Ferguson for some reason.

It was based on a picture that was like a teargas canister being thrown back at the police and everyone said it was a molotov

So, the protesters are probably biased, and the police are probably biased.

The only thing that we actually know that isn't biased is that the police are targeting the media.

That leads me to believe that the police don't want us to know something.

[ZombiLoin]

all biased sources
realistically speaking there are no reliable sources since any bystanders would probably just get pulled in by the mob mentality
police doing their jobs? how dare they!

Taboo, a doctor of psychology everyone!

Protip, it's okay to admit that maybe the journalists are right for once and the police may be wrong. Just a thought.

The job of the police is not to strike fear into the hearts of people and regard them as a threat. The job of the police is not to act like actual soldiers and aim at civilians (their ROE are actually more lax than soldiers in Iraq). Their job is to PROTECT the public and keep the people safe. Once you start using rifles and military colors in a supposedly non-violent peace keeping mission you are not the police anymore, you are loving soldiers. There is a difference.

disallowing misinformation to keep public opinion in control is important
this is already giving all the anti-authority idiots like zombi tons of bait to get riled up, if it escalates there could well be more rioting or "protests" elsewhere

it would be if that was the case, but again, journalists are trash, so whatever

The job of the police is not to strike fear into the hearts of people and regard them as a threat.

oops, you're handicapped, i'm not talking to you anymore

Stop. We may have photographic evidence of the police there using automatic rifles and military colors, we have no unbiased evidence that the protesters aren't actually the ones causing the problem in the first place.

However, the police are preventing photographic evidence from being collected by the media leaving only the protesters to give us that, and as mentioned before, they may be biased.

It's already happening in nyc

[Ducky duck]

It's already happening in Philadelphia too.

Something you have failed to do. You literally dismissed every source thrown at you from the protesters side. As if the police have no reason/capability of lying. You've obviously made up your mind here on what side you're on.

case in point, stupidity is contagious thanks to a growing mob mentality, if they had clamped down on the news earlier there would probably be far fewer problems

i have reason to see anything from them at this point

[mus]

no word on if its happening in the city of many angles, will report back if it does happen cus believe me
ill know

[blueblur121]

Because the police aren't letting outside sources document it, the people in nyc and philadelphia are just going by what is posted by the protesters.

In this case, it would actually be a smart idea for the police to let the media do their job so we can see what the protesters are doing wrong. However, they still won't let them so that makes me suspicious.

If only the journalists used their crystal ball to see where the news would be most bountiful then we would know whats going on.
