I watched a Ustream live-feed from there the first night. It didn't seem like much of a riot. It was earlier on and everyone was milking the burning car for all it was worth. I was thinking it didn't seem that much worse, or maybe not even as bad at that point, as the Mankato State riot back in 2003.
I guess after all the buildup, the fear-mongering, over saturation of the story prior to the night. Some young and impressionable folks probably almost felt obligated to do something. lol
The person who was responsible for the stream I was watching was bragging about his 90,000 viewers. He was claiming he had more viewers than CNN. Perhaps they were talking about CNN"s Ustream feed?
They seemed quite enamored with themselves. Appealing to the lowest common denominator's most base thoughts and instincts. And not really that interested in responsible journalism.
But then maybe they were just parroting what they see the rest of the so called 'real' media doing.
Got to drum up that next Jodi Arias story and get those 'high ratings'. No matter what it takes.

Obama Calls For Turret-Mounted Video Cameras On All Police Tanks
News in Brief• police• violence• barack obama• News• ISSUE 50•48• Dec 3, 2014
WASHINGTON—In an effort to restore the public’s faith in law enforcement, President Obama made an impassioned appeal this week, calling for the installation of turret-mounted video cameras on all police tanks. “This initiative will ensure that police officers across the country will be held accountable for their actions as they pour out of an 18-ton combat vehicle in response to a routine call,” said Obama, who announced a detailed plan to allocate funding to equip every single armored personnel carrier, landmine-resistant SWAT van, and battle-ready half-track with an onboard camcorder to monitor police conduct. “If the police are forced to discharge a high-caliber, vehicle-mounted weapon in the line of duty, we’ll know why. Furthermore, this policy will discourage the misuse of shell-proof tanks in our communities.”The president added that he is hopeful that turret-mounted video cameras would help to reestablish trust between officers equipped with military-grade technology and the populations they are sworn to protect.

So Obama and Holder are laying the ground work to federalize local police.
Not surprising.
if you're going to spend money, spend it on something that will reduce black on black violent crimes...like in Chicago.

The ins discount will pay for these in about a year or so.
Truly a fact, we're in deep sh!t.

Blacks make up 67% of the population in Ferguson.
17% of whites voted in Ferguson’s 2013 municipal elections, compared with 6 percent of blacks.

What will happen in the 2015 municipal elections?
