Ferguson Megathread

[Vjaarland]

The rioters are using lethal force, so I see no reason why Police should not be permitted to respond accordingly.

One side will back down eventually. Riots do not last.

Property damage, on the other hand.

Of course the situation will subside eventually, but in the meantime, I don't think that risking the lives of Police by not allowing them to defend themselves appropriately against people with automatic weapons is a good strategy.

Unconfirmed, NG advance units are advancing into the outskirts of the city. Saw a military transport helicopter on my stream.

[Soldati Senza Confini]

Police reinforcements approaching! At least one police helicopter is airborne in addition to news helis.

The rioters's anger is against the police. Why is the police still trying to intervene? Just deploy the NG.

Pretty much.

I mean what's the God damn holdup?

[Wisconsin9]

Yup, they've got a chopper in there.

I feel like that could possibly make the matter worse. Let us not forget Kent State University.

[Vjaarland]

Local news is reporting that Gov. Nixon has just authorized sending the National Guard into Ferguson.

[Oil exporting People]

It's about time the National Guard gets sent in.

There's no direction to this. They're going to fight anyone who gets in their way.

There has to be a way to stop this. Ferguson's getting destroyed.

The NG appear to have arrived. All sides should back done soon.

[Margno]

What the fuck is your problem?

Says the one going "fuck private property".

It's not the fact that it's "theft" I have a problem with. It's seeing five people you think are dead and others injured and not doing anything except try to personally profit from it.

[District XIV]

Some policemen seem to be searching for something (or things) in this parking lot; here's what I could screenshot:



They had/have flashlights and are looking through the windows.

I've gotten MACEd in the balls before and yeah it's not pleasant.

I don't disagree, but at this point, what else can be done?

Took his fucking time.

Force.

[Wisconsin9]

Sounds almost like they're abandoning the Mobil.

What exactly do you think a state of Anarchy, temporal or otherwise, implies?

[Terraius]

Now that the NG is showing up, for all of you in or around the riots, now is the absolute for serious time to get away before this turns into an urban warzone.

Conoco roof just collapsed, tank integrity is still looking fine. Hatches are open, could present a fume hazard.

I've been maced and CS gassed, courtesy of the US Military. MACE fucking sucks CS gas is mildly annoying by comparison.

[Senyosu]

Ferguson should be put under lockdown, the trial must be rerun.

^ This.

[Nazi Flower Power]

They're burning the town to the ground.

Good.
"You can't stop the revolution."

Yes, we fucking can.

Force.

I have to go to sleep. I hope this is put down soon. This frustration didn't come to happen overnight, and no matter how persuasive the DA was, the verdict tonight was not the answer Ferguson wanted.

[New Socialist South Africa]

It's about time the National Guard gets sent in.

They could either restore order or they could fuck things up like what happened at Kent State University.

Lets hope they keep cool heads and restore order with as few casualties or injuries on either side as possible.
