Ferguson Bloody Chaos Deja Vu: Heavy Gunfire, Sniper ‘Infiltrator’ Critically Injured

(Before It's News)

In Ferguson, just as a Michael Brown Jr. police-slaying one-year anniversary peaceful protest was ending, chaos amid heavy gunfire broke, leaving a young infiltrator in critical condition and two officers injured, one shot in the face, according to initial police reports. The violent event is a repeat of a sniper firing shots from the same area on a hill behind protesters at a Ferguson protest in March.

Blood shed was predicted by this author as protesters planned to rally across the nation in memory of Brown’s death and a grand jury decision to not charge police officer Darren Wilson, who killed young Brown, a black youth with his hands in the air, begging officers to not shoot him.

Ominous Anniversary Imminent, Bloody Mass Civil Disobedience Looms

“I can tell you that it was a remarkable amount of gunfire,” Chief Jon Belmar of the St. Louis County Police said at a 3:00 a.m. press conference Monday.

Belmar estimated 40 or 50 shots fired in 45 seconds. He refrained from identifying the officers, the man they shot, or races of those involved, but said the man who was shot was about 20 years old. Belmar told reporters a 41-year-old officer from his department was struck in the shoulder and a 32-year-old officer from Webster Groves Police Department was hit in the face around midnight as the crowd was leaving at the end of the rally.

According to the Washington Post, Belmar said that plainclothes officers were monitoring a man in a crowd of protesters who they believed was armed. The man, armed with a stolen 9mm Sig Sauer, was involved in an exchange of gunfire with another party, then fired on four plainclothes officers in an unmarked SUV. The officers fired back, hitting the young man, now in critical, “unstable” condition, and is in surgery. The officers were not injured.

“A St. Louis County officer was involved in the shooting after coming under heavy gunfire,” according to a police department tweet at 12:54 a.m. EST. “During the gunfire, at least 2 unmarked cars took shots.”

Belmar stressed that the man who opened fire was not a protester, according to the Post. CNN later reported there was no suspect; Belmar had no idea who fired on the officers; but the shots came from a hill behind the protesters at the police department.

A sniper in the same area behind protesters fired shots in March at a protest. Conspiracy theorists claim this is a deliberate set up for the public to ask for UN intervention and martial law.

“There is a small group of people out there who are intent on making sure we don’t have peace that prevails,” Belmar said. “That’s unfortunate. Because even with the folks who were in the street last night, there were a lot of emotions, I get it. But this is something different.”

Prominent Ferguson protester Tony Rice shot a graphic video appearing to show a handcuffed and injured man lying on the streets as an officer watched.

“It seemed like the protest was winding down,” Rice told The Washington Post. “And next thing you know, gunshots rang out.”

“Hey, he bleeding!” Rice said in the video. “Get him some help, man. Please! Get him some help! … He’s bleeding out, man, you see it. He’s breathing, man. Please get him some help!”

Later, Rice said, “I just did not see a level of urgency. … And it was quite a while before the initial officers went over and did a pulse check.”

As they attempted to secure a still-chaotic scene, officers detained Rice, handcuffing him and sitting him down not far from the shooting before releasing him.

“This is a crime scene,” an officer said. “Back up … You are under arrest!”

Rice said he did see three officers eventually attempt to provide some form of medical aid to the man who was shot. He said that is the first time in more than 100 nights he participated in Ferguson protests that he has been detained.

  • Useful idiots. They are instigator pawns to usher in the military that will swarm in and process everybody into Camp GMO FEMA Camp.
    Eat More GMO :mad:

  • This tale lost me at “Darren Wilson, who killed young Brown, a black youth with his hands in the air, begging officers to not shoot him.”
    It has been proven that is not what occurred. read the transcripts, then write a truthful story!

    • Hey! I was going to write that!!

    • Always know the agenda of the person writing the story…

  • I heard the sniper shots as it was happening last night during Dahboo’s live stream. Even made a comment that it seemed saaan awfiul lot of bullets. The guy was down, the cops had stopped firing, and then all these other shots rang out from nowhere, sounding like high powered rifles. That’s what injured the cops. It’s patently obvious somebody was trying to sabotage the demonstration, possibly to further the anti-arms agenda…

  • Michael Brown was a thug, behaving like a feral animal. Shooting him, WAS justice for Micheal.

  • The teachings of Obama and his Chicago gangster politics is unfortunately expanding to other nation the sole purpose of creating chaos as he has done in Ferguson Missouri when he told the race baiters to “stay the course” words he will see you die by! the words he will see American cities burn by!you of all been blinded by the Lord God Almighty may he take pity on your souls!

  • This whole story seemed to be written to infuriate events that occurred for the writers own agenda. If you read this kind of story from CNN or anyone else, it doesn’t have events that get you mad, then let you back down a bit before the next line or paragraph gets you mad again!

    What lousy writing but at least when you are done you know exactly what the writer was trying to do here. Throw gasoline on heavily burning fire! She needs to break her keyboard and go back to making cookies or something where she doesn’t get to interact with the public like this.

    My opinion is that she is the kind of person in real life that would bring a video camera and a couple of guns to the Ferguson area to make the story turn out the way she wanted it rather than to report it as the way it actually ended. :mrgreen:

  • its about time someone targets the police in fear of their life. its againts the law to arrest someone for taking pictures of crime scenes

  • Oblahblahs resigme….? the high powers that be instigating riots, inter racial struggles, and chaos:

    “There is a small group of people out there who are intent on making sure we don’t have peace that prevails,” Belmar said. “That’s unfortunate. Because even with the folks who were in the street last night, there were a lot of emotions, I get it. But this is something different.”

  • Jade Helm anyone ? Another psyop to keep us all stirred up, existing in fear and anger. Another operation in the on going gun grab ? Sand Hoax, Boston Bombing and on and on and freakin’ on ….

  • Ferguson – What happens when supreme intelligence meets low IQ.
