You know something's fucked up, when people in Gaza, an actual war-zone, are giving advice on how to deal with tear gas. To residents of a St. Louis suburb. Let that sink in for a second. Ferguson is now basically a war-zone.
If you're going to arrest someone for a bullshit reason, at least make sure your protocol is perfect. Jeez.
Lowery tweeted that he was never read his Miranda rights.
Yes, I'm sorry, that's such a misleading headline because as we all know, the police just gently toss the rubber bullets at you then don't ACTUALLY FIRE THEM OUT OF GUNS. FFS.
Watching the live feeds, restraint could have been straight saying "good night, protesters!" and walking away. A hundred people standing in the street chanting (for the police storm troopers posted there) did not need to be tear gassed. Holy shit. This all could be ended by the cops seriously investigating the death…
Welcome to Post Racial America! I see you've flown with us before.
So let me get this straight: law enforcement doesn't dare fight Clive Bundy and his thugs, but unarmed protesters and journalists get the full armed brigade treatment.
You know there's been a lot of criticism of Kinja media lately and in turn, the role of blogger like platforms like this site. But here is where it holds its own and earns my respect. I am in Australia and following this with appalled, well . . . horror and incredulousness.
The best place I am getting my news from at…
"Restraint" to Ferguson Police = Arresting journalists, lobbing tear gas at news trucks, shooting unarmed black teenager, firing tear gas and rubber bullets on peaceful demonstrators.

Locals were risking their safety to help…
"We've done everything we can to demonstrate a remarkable amount of restraint."
We don't have the greys quite yet so yes it's here, you're here, I'm here. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I don't know if this will make it out of the greys but there are great photos of what's going on here.
Look, if those lazy babies want diapers, they need to get off their powdered asses and get jobs! Quit sucking off the government teat, babies!
hey-oooooo!
AB 1516, drafted up by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, a Democrat, would be the first of its kind.
It's taken me a long time to figure out why I hate being catcalled in almost every scenario but I think it's a combination of factors. For many women, when wanted/unwanted male attention starts, you're pretty young – a pre-teen or teenager. At that age, I didn't understand my own sexuality or really any one elses. I…
It's offensive because you're not a work of art created to entertain some schlub in the produce aisle; you're a human being.
