[decocker 7,198]

You know some folks are stocking up for ammo right now, and they're nowhere near St. Louis. Paranoia is a hell of a drug.

I'm going to ride through there on Sunday and take pictures. Just to show folks what's really going on down there.

So does wilson still have that 5000 Dollar bounty on him ? If he goes back on duty next week how many folks will try to collect ?.. Or has Holder arrested the folks offering it ?

US Cities Brace for Protests off Ferguson Decision

BOSTON — Nov 15, 2014, 6:07 PM ET

By PHILIP MARCELO Associated Press

From Boston to Los Angeles, police departments are bracing for large demonstrations when a grand jury decides whether to indict a white police officer who killed an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri.

The St. Louis County grand jury, which has been meeting since Aug. 20, is expected to decide this month whether Officer Darren Wilson is charged with a crime for killing 18-year-old Michael Brown after ordering him and a friend to stop walking in the street on Aug. 9.

The shooting has led to tension with police and a string of unruly protests there and brought worldwide attention to the formerly obscure St. Louis suburb, where more than half the population is black but few police officers are.

For some cities, a decision in the racially charged case will, inevitably, reignite long-simmering debates over local police relations with minority communities.

"It's definitely on our radar," said Lt. Michael McCarthy, police spokesman in Boston, where police leaders met privately Wednesday to discuss preparations. "Common sense tells you the timeline is getting close. We're just trying to prepare in case something does step off, so we are ready to go with it."

In Los Angeles, rocked by riots in 1992 after the acquittal of police officers in the videotaped beating of Rodney King, police officials say they've been in touch with their counterparts in Missouri, where Gov. Jay Nixon and St. Louis-area law enforcement held a news conference this week on their own preparations.

"Naturally, we always pay attention," said Cmdr. Andrew Smith, a police spokesman. "We saw what happened when there were protests over there and how oftentimes protests spill from one part of the country to another."

In Las Vegas, police joined pastors and other community leaders this week to call for restraint at a rally tentatively planned northwest of the casino strip when a decision comes.

Activists in Ferguson met Saturday to map out their protest plans. Meeting organizers encouraged group members to provide their names upon arrest as Darren Wilson or Michael Brown to make it more difficult for police to process them.

In a neighboring town, Berkeley, officials this week passed out fliers urging residents to be prepared for unrest just as they would a major storm — with plenty of food, water and medicine in case they're unable to leave home for several days.

In Boston, a group called Black Lives Matter, which has chapters in other major cities, is organizing a rally in front of the police district office in the Roxbury neighborhood the day after an indictment decision.

In Albuquerque, New Mexico, police are expecting demonstrations after having dealt with a string of angry protests following a March police shooting of a homeless camper and more than 40 police shootings since 2010.

Philadelphia police spokesman Lt. John Stanford said he anticipated his city will see demonstrations, regardless of what the grand jury returns.

But big-city police departments stressed they're well-equipped to handle crowds. Many saw large but mostly peaceful demonstrations following the 2013 not-guilty verdict in the slaying of Florida teen Trayvon Martin by neighborhood watch coordinator George Zimmerman. In New York, hundreds of protesters marched from Union Square north to Times Square, where a sit-in caused gridlock.

Tell you what. I'll find out for you when you talk to your people in the KKK that are planning to go and fight down in Ferguson.

What's funny is, some folks here really think that's what goes on in those neighborhoods. It's bad to be sure, but not to the point where you'll be shot for just going within 100 feet of the place.

but lib said "hood". ferguson is a hood, isn't it? it has to be..

Nope, it's not even classified as the hood. The hood is down past Grand Ave, some pockets of East Saint Louis, and little pocket areas around St. Louis.

[Boiler 46,316]

Hood ish?

[We Keep Receipts 9,238]

Hood ish?

Nope. Doesn't even qualify. Ferguson was completely off the radar until Mike Brown. So now people are demonizing it, even though before the neighborhood didn't even make the top 10 or 20 of bad cities to live in. But all it takes are a few black people acting up, now it's classified as a "war zone". SMH.

Are you worried about your identity being found out? Don't worry Lost, your secret is safe with me. You have a right to hate people because they look different than you. Even though it's wrong.

As for the KKK, you think they're base in STL? Think again. There's more than 6 in Missouri. When they marched here back in 2011, it was close to a few hundred members and supporters. Because IL is only 20 minutes away, you've got people out here who think the same way. Hopefully either side doesn't resort to violence.

So Marve how many kkk members were under 80 ? ... About a car full . Half of then will have to be released from the old folks home if they desire to march tonight .

The Anonymous campaign began when Klan factions threatened to target protesters with “lethal force” in and around Ferguson should riots follow a grand jury’s decision about Officer Darren Wilson. Wilson shot and killed unarmed teenager Michael Brown last August.

Anonymous responded by “doxxing” dozens of Klan members – posting their personal information and photos online, hence the hashtag “#HoodsOff.” Then, the hackers gained control of the Klan’s various Twitter accounts to both expose and taunt the original owners of the accounts.

Wonder how many of these 80 year olds are on Twitter?

They look pretty good for a bunch of old timers, don't you think?

So, CBS are reporting on the arrest of two members of the New Black Panthers, for attempting to buy explosives, allegedly to use in pipe bombs in future Ferguson protests?

I think the KKK might not be the most pressing potential problem here.

As usually. Black people are always trying to support the economy. That's why we have consumer power.

Don't worry. The KKK went out in the woods, chopped down trees, strained rivers and scooped up cow poo and bear dung to make their explosives. Both groups are just as equally nuts.
