Is that worth taking someone else's life and the inherent legal implications of that act? Maybe, maybe not. Might it end up costing you and your employees more in the long-run?

The MO Governor is removing the St. Louis police force from the Ferguson protests:

Michael Brown Shooting: St Louis Police Removed from Ferguson Protests

Meanwhile, Anonymous released a name that they are claiming might be the officer, but said they don't care if they are wrong. If the guy they named gets hurt, they are saying it's the police dept.'s fault for not releasing the correct name.
The police dept. is saying the guy named doesn't work for them and that Anon is putting a random civilian at risk.

Man if that's a sampling of "awesome" I'd hate to see what the 'barely acceptable' looks like to whoever wrote that crap.

People like you are why these riots happen, you must feel pretty proud of yourself for spewing such nonsense.

Where are the locals with firearms to defend their property and lives? Are we returning to the way of the jungle, where the most barbaric mobs are allowed to rule? Or are the victims standing up and we just aren't seeing any reporting on it?
I would guess this. The media doesn't want to show guns being used lawfully and legally, the way the second amendment intended them to be used, and the way the vast majority of law-abiding gun owners use them.

Governor Jay Nixon said he was relieving the department of its duties following four days of unrest in the town in the wake of the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a police officer.

The force has come under criticism in recent days for their heavy-handed tactics in controlling the disorder, including the use of tear gas and rubber bullets as well as military equipment.


I guess it's now just a free-for-all in St Louis. License to Loot, Burn & Kill. I've don't recall ever hearing of a Governor "relieving" an entire Police Department (in this case it's St Louis County) of duty.

I imagine the state police will be taking over.

The article I posted said they expected him to replace them with the state police. We'll see.

Because the outrage over those pictures of Bearcats and camo geared "police" 10 deep with weapons pointed at civilians was just too much.

Comments after all these articles showing those pictures shows the outrage of the people over what the "local police" have become.

Sadly though it's not limited to the Ferguson police department.
