Just. No. Words.
A 32-year-old officer from nearby Webster Groves was shot in the face and a 41-year-old officer from St. Louis County was shot in the shoulder, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said at a news conference. Both were taken to a hospital, where Belmar said they were conscious. He said he did not have further details about their conditions but described their injuries as "serious."
"I don't know who did the shooting, to be honest with you," Belmar said, adding that he could not provide a description of the suspect or gun.
He said his "assumption" was that, based on where the officers were standing and the trajectory of the bullets, "these shots were directed exactly at my officers."
per live MSNBC coverage no one knows who fired the shots but everyone knows that neither Ferguson residents nor tonight's protesters were responsible for the gunfire
:thinking:
those pesky outside agitators strike again!
This is insane! Yesterday Chief Jackson resigned in response to pressure from the race-baiters at the DOJ and White House and tonight the response from the local community is to shoot two white cops? I hope that LE in Ferguson and St Louis County realize that there is NOTHING that they can do to satisfy these anti-white racists. NO amount of grovelling is enough! They need to focus on protecting their own backs and to hell with everyone else in that community!
Belmar said the shooter was among the demonstrators standing across from the officers.
"I don't know who did the shooting, to be honest with you right now, but somehow they were embedded in that group of folks," he said.
Protesters at the scene, however, said on social media that the shots did not come from where they were standing.
"The shooter was not with the protesters. The shooter was atop the hill," activist DeRay McKesson said on Twitter.
"I was here. I saw the officer fall. The shot came from at least 500 feet away from the officers," he said.
I agree. A long stretch of "blue flu" is in order in this community (it should have happened months ago). If the local community are not comfortable with white officers risking their lives day in and day out to keep them safe let the local community police itself and lets see how this works out!
That's what they want!! I read one article where it stated the protesters want the Ferguson PD to disband. Ted Williams was on FNC saying how Nixon needs to call in the NG. Maybe that's what needs to happen to get Ferguson under control.

According to the muzzle fire the officers saw they say the shooter was no further than 125 feet away. Thats per Chief Belmar during the live PC.
I'm so sick of this crap!
I just heard Sharpton on Morning Joe. He was urging caution and not leaping to conclusions before the facts are known. Seriously, that was his take.
Wait & see?
There was no waiting for all the facts when MB was still lying in the street. Bad, racist cop, gunned down, unarmed black boy on his way to grandma's house - in broad daylight.
Is Sharpton implying the cop shooter is an outside agitator? I say Sharpton is PAID outside agitator!
In the presser, there were a few hints dropped about upcoming changes by the PD. Essentially hinting that they could no longer 'line our cops up like that to be shot,' So what will they do now? Stay inside?
I hope the tighten up the restrictions on the marchers. JMO

I noticed that too. The chief seems to have lost all patience with these "peaceful" protesters.In the presser, there were a few hints dropped about upcoming changes by the PD.
