These weapons are about as scary as a WWII V2 rocket.

Sounds like the “good” rebels are likely to fall to ISIS soon. Once the war becomes the Syrian government against ISIS what side will we fall on? Will we still decry the use of missles or join in to help? Difficult decisions are ahead...

Where is the confirmation that this was fired by Syrian forces and not ISIS? Assad and his Syria are the 'good' guys in all this. From the beginning of the war they have used pretty light handed responses only really increasing the firepower used as their enemies grew more powerful. They didn't start using serious…

If it wasn't for US, none of this would be happening, so thanks guys for fuelling terrorism and than making yourselves look like you care....hilarious

They are firing them at ISIS, or ISIL, or whatever they are called this week. ISIS are not their own people. They are the same pieces of stone-age human shit that are committing atrocities and genocide, killing Christians and other Muslims of different sects in Syria and Iraq. A great many of them aren't even from…

As for ISIL I hope a F/A-18 sends them there.

O say can you see by the dawn's early light,

something illegal did happen — the police have no authority to black out the media. Doing so while pointing a dangerous weapon at someone (any weapon capable of killing someone, which includes every weapon police carry) is a felony for every individual involved, under conspiracy laws.

seriously? What the fuck has happened to this country? Nothing about this on mainstream news, not a mention, and I'm in New York. As a minority I have lost all hope in this government.

Um, sorry, not our boy in the White House giving away SWAT and Military gear for pennies on the dollar. Not our boy running the NSA surveillance net. Nope. Your President, you own that shit.

First the militarized police came for Occupy Wall Street, and I did not speak out, because I was not OWS protester

isnt nyc/nypd looking into drones?

This is Ryan Riley of the Huffington Post being marched out of a McDonald's by three police officers at gunpoint. The cops barged in and demanded that everyone clear out. Ryan and Wesley Lowery didn't move fast enough, were arrested, thrown in a cell and then released with no explanation.

The major news corporations handling of the events in Ferguson are actually an act of violence towards the American people.

Send in the National Guard to restore order. It's been done before. It's ridiculous that he hasn't even released a statement though.

Ok first of all, caveat, I do NOT approve of what happened at the Bundy ranch in Nevada.

We all laugh at conspiracy theories, but some of them have been warning about the militarization of police for years now (and all the music videos and toys that have been slowly making us be used to the idea), and look at this situation right now. Doesn't sound too crazy anymore, huh? If this shit doesn't scare you, I…

I have to take a step away from this because I'm beyond angry, sad and sickened that an entire community has been turned into a war zone with no accountability and a civilian police force using weapons of war against American citizens. How is this happening? And where the FUCKING HELL is our president?!?

So, conservatives, this is an ACTUAL example of the Bill of Rights being trampled on. Freedom of the Press? That's a pretty big one. This is horrifying.

What. The. Fuck. is a civilian police force doing with battlefield weapons? I know how it happened: defense industry lobbyists. My question is who on earth thinks arming and equipping peacekeepers with this type of gear will result in anything less that the full spectrum chaos that Ferguson has descended into?
