Ferguson is just the soup d'jour at the moment, LA, Chicago, etc. are turning into war zones. Gangs like MS13 are better equipped than some police depts.
Homicide and other violent crimes have dropped dramatically in the last decade or two. Police killed in the line of duty have also dropped. Violent crimes in LA is down to the levels they had in the 60's. Yeah, we still have too much crime and violence, but seriously, look at the equipment and weapons these police are getting. Most of the violent crime and murders we do have are not big gangs going around shooting everything up, they are not hiding in fortresses where big military vehicles and grenade launchers are needed. Honestly, look at Ferguson, it looks like Iraq. Yeah there are some dickhead troublemakers and looters, but most of those people are just protesting peacefully. They are pissed, and they have the right to protest.

Looter: a criminal who takes property belonging to someone else with the intention of keeping it or selling it.
Protester: A person who publicly demonstrates strong objection to something; a demonstrator.
See LIbERal? There is a difference. And probably why so many protesters have been protecting businesses and trying to stop looters.
Do you think the riot police are there for the looters, shooters, and molotov cocktails throwers, or do you think they were there for the peaceful protesters?

Well since the police stood down for the looters, and only went after the protesters .
And I'm calling BS on police being shot at and having molotov cocktails thrown at them. There are a gazillion cameras down there, tons of reporters. There's not a single video of any molotov cocktail throwing or live reports of police being shot at? It's a good excuse for such police overreach though.
I've found one picture that all the major news have used showing a masked person throwing a molotov cocktail. I'm sure molotov cocktails have been thrown at some of the businesses, but I find it hard to believe that they have been thrown at police and there's no video of it.
Wow. Someone threw in their "Our government and their actions are pure as the driven snow" response. I'm shocked...
On another note, are we to a point that police have to have two distinct responses, one for black people, and one for everybody else, for the fear that the former will riot? Seems like the elephant in the room to me...
Oh, what I said! Bring on the left-wing hate mail...

You might not find pictures like this on your "alternative news sites" but 5 secs with google images and you would have found these.

Ooooh, so you found 4 more. Silly me didn't check google images, because I spent my time checking the national news sites. Since most of you only believe what comes from the MSM.
Do those pictures show the molotov cocktails being thrown at police? No.
Have you found any eye witness live reports in the mainstream of police being shot at or molotov cocktails thrown at them? Any pictures or videos to back them up if you do find any?
Since I do not agree with how things have been handled down in Ferguson, I am skeptical of the "official" reasons.
The police say they have been shot at and attacked with molotov cocktails. Gazillion cameras and no video. Strange
