In the first video, DAHBOO777 documents the militarized police descending upon Ferguson once again. For the umpteenth time now, domestic terrorism runs wild across Ferguson, and one can only imagine how far this saga will play out this time. Before you comment about my labeling these thugs “Domestic Terrorists,” DON’T BOTHER!

I will NOT call these animals “Protestors,” because they DO NOT meet the criteria. The First Amendment guarantees the right to peacefully protest. The exact text is as follows:

The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights.

 

NOTICE THE KEY WORDS: PEACEFULLY ASSEMBLE!!!

THIS LOOK PEACEFUL?

IT’S TIME WE (THE LAW ABIDING CIVILIZED HUMAN BEINGS) TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK, AND DEAL WITH TERRORISM ON OUR SOIL IN THE MANNER REQUIRED TO DETER FUTURE TERRORIST ACTS…

 

PEACEFUL PROTEST DEFINED:

Undisturbed by strife, turmoil, or disagreement; tranquil: a peaceful hike through the forest. See Synonyms at calm.

Inclined or disposed to peace; peaceable: a peaceful solution to the dispute.

Not involving violence or employing force: a peaceful protest.

 

TERRORISM DEFINED:

“A Person Who Uses Terror In the Pursuit of a Political Aim”

 

Would a reasonable person of ordinary intelligence (liberals: You’re OUT!) view shooting police, riots, storming stages at events you did not pay for, threats, fires, and violence as acts of PEACE, or would a reasonable person view them as tools used to scare people in the pursuit of a political aim?

 

THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT!

LAW ABIDING LIVES MATTER!

Ferguson 1

 

WHAT DO WE KNOW?

We know the department claims that two suspects had been attempting to flee, when officers were executing a valid search warrant. When the suspects decided to flee, and the officers report that one of the the young men pointed a gun at officers, prompting them to shoot and kill him. The other man remains on the run.

Protesters were quick to the scene of the shooting, as many had already been gathered to protest the one year anniversary of the shooting of 25-year-old Kajieme Powell nearby. Perhaps if they were as quick to the scene of a damn job, or about contacting authorities regarding those within their community they KNOW are breaking the law and in possession of stolen guns with crack cocaine (as in this case), as they are to riot about how oppressed they are, their lives would improve. 

I SAY IF THEY WANT TO COMMIT ACTS OF TERROR…

BE TREATED LIKE TERRORISTS!

Ferguson 2

The Canada Free Press reports:

A disturbing yet familiar scenario is playing out once again in St. Louis, where police made nine arrests and dispersed demonstrators protesting the shooting of black American Mansur Ball-Bey, 18, on Wednesday. According to police, Bell-Bey aimed a weapon at two white officers who returned fire, killing him. Unsurprisingly, the protesters are disputing police accounts of the incident. 

The Fountain Park neighborhood where the shooting occurred is an area of abandoned, boarded up houses “plagued by violence,” noted St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson. In recent days, a business near the shooting site was hit with gunfire, and a 93-year-old Tuskagee Airman was robbed and carjacked last Sunday when he got lost trying to find his daughter’s home and stopped to call her. A man got in the airman’s car robbing him and fleeing in another vehicle. The airman tried to track him, but pulled over once again to ask two men for help. The duo carjacked him. 

In addition, there have been four homicides within a half-mile of Fountain Park neighborhood where this incident took place.

The two officers were executing a search warrant around noon Wednesday at a home near the Walton and Page street intersection. As they approached, two armed men ran out the back door. The officers ordered them to stop, but Ball-Bey allegedly pointed his weapon at the policemen. Both officers fired a total four shots, one by one officer and three by the other. Despite being hit, Ball-Bey continued running until he collapsed. He was pronounced dead at the scene and police recovered a gun that had been a reported stolen from Rolla, MO. The other suspect remains armed and at large, and police described him as a man in his mid- to late teens. “Officers in the rear alley ordered them to stop and to drop the gun,” Dotson told reporters. “As they ran, Ball-Bey turned and pointed the gun at the officers. There were two officers in the alley. Both officers fired.” 

Another man and a woman were removed from the house without incident and Dotson revealed the house had been served with previous search warrants, including one about 18 months ago that yielded several illegal guns. Three additional weapons and crack cocaine were also recovered at or near the residence. One gun was found in the house itself and two others over the fence where they were tossed when the two suspects fled the house. Two of the three remaining guns were also stolen weapons. “Detectives were looking for guns, looking for violent felons, looking for people that have been committing crimes in the neighborhood,” Dotson added.

Following the shooting, an angry crowd of approximately 150 gathered at the intersection, blocking it. Police initially cleared it, makings some arrests in the process. Yet when the officers left the crowd marched onto Interstate 70, and blocked that roadway before returning to the Walton and Page intersection. “We got called back to the neighborhood when a car was set on fire,” Dotson said. 

Upon their return officers officers were assaulted with bricks and bottles. “At at that point, after the crowd ignored repeated requests and directions, inert smoke was used. After that didn’t have an effect, tear gas was used. There’s a line that gets crossed from peacefully protesting, which we will support, to when laws are broken,” Dotson said. “Police officers have to do their job.”

The two officers involved are 33 and 29 years of age, each with about seven years of employment on the force. They have been placed on administrative leave.

Some of the protesters who had already been on hand to mark the anniversary of the fatal shooting by police of 25-year-old Kajieme Powell last August after he came at them with a knife, refused to accept police accounts of the shooting. “Another youth down by the hands of police,” said Dex Dockett, 42, who lives nearby. “What could have been done different to de-escalate rather than escalate? They come in with an us-against-them mentality. You’ve got to have the right kind of cops to engage in these types of neighborhoods.” 

Resident Fred Price insisted police “provoked the situation,” further stating incidents like this “make us want to keep the police out of the neighborhood. They’re shooting first, then asking questions.” Robert Phillips didn’t buy the idea that Ball-Bey had pointed his gun at the officers. “They always say that,” Phillips declared. 

Several crowd members also chanted “Black Lives Matter,” the slogan that has been an integral part of anti-police protests since the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in nearby Ferguson last year.

Those protests have been fueled in large part by the racist #BlackLivesMatter movement and other left-wing activists determined to drive a wedge between police and the residents of high-crime neighborhoods where such potentially deadly encounters are likely to take place. And while such activism may engender a level of satisfaction among those who view virtually every encounter between police and minorities as one of racial victimization, that satisfaction comes with a terrible price tag attached to it: St. Louis’s homicide rate is on target to reach its highest level in two decades, already exceeding 100 murders by the end of July.  

It is an ominous trend also playing itself out in other cities, including Baltimore, New Orleans and Houston where murders are up 30 percent or more. There are also increased homicide totals in Chicago, Dallas, Minneapolis and Washington, D.C. And despite the lip service given to the notion that black lives matter, the increased violence is disproportionately affecting poor and predominantly African-American and Latino neighborhoods that are bearing the brunt of the carnage. 

In St. Louis, a city that is 44 percent white, and 49 percent black, it is carnage being perpetrated overwhelmingly by black Americans themselves. In 2012, the most recent year for which statistics are available, a whopping 97.6 percent of those arrested for murder were black, compared to 2.4 percent who were white. Of those arrested for serious crimes overall, including murder, aggravated assault and larceny, more than 82 percent of those arrested were black, compared to 17.5 percent who were white. 

As bad as they are, those arrest stats may nonetheless be understating the problem. Earlier last month when the murder total had reached 93 homicides (compared with 58 at the same point last year) police had made only 29 arrests. Dotson admitted the city’s “clearance rates aren’t where I’d like them to be,” a reality Mayor Francis Slay attributes to a no-snitch mentality. “These are disputes, and there are victims who won’t talk to the police,” he said following a spate of violence in June. “Trying to make an arrest isn’t that simple. In one case, they’ve got (multiple) people shot and not one of them would identify the shooter.”

No one should be the least bit surprised. Ever since the death of Michael Brown and the rise of the contemptible “hands up don’t shoot” narrative that has driven the agenda of an American left—along with the equally false narrative that this is an endemically racist nation—the effort to drive a wedge between police forces and the citizens they serve has been relentless. The shameless painting of police as an “occupying force” in minority neighborhoods stands in stark contrast to the calculated silence that accompanies the reality many of those neighborhoods are de facto war zones: it was the left-wing Huffington Post in 2012 that pointed out more people had been killed in Chicago than Afghanistan between 2001 and 2012. Doubtless it is equality indelicate to point out that America’s most dangerous cities are Democratic strongholds—and that St. Louis tops the list.

During the protests at Fountain Park, Joe Robinson who works with Better Family Life community outreach, was one of about a dozen people holding signs illuminating an undeniable message, one that ought to form the foundation of a genuine black lives matter movement: “We must stop killing each other.” “The sign says it all,” Robinson explained. Maybe not all, but it’s a great place to start.

  • I Soul St.

  • The sensational term “terrorist” is so widely misused that it fails to have any meaning now. These are people who are tired of being shot in the street, people how are refused basic rights for nothing more than being there. In much of the country you see the same thing, police shoot suspect dead, then make up whatever story fits.

    Militarized police will only ensure a militarized public. How about someone put the “service” back into police service.

  • Daboo: normally i love your articles, and yes you are right about the Constitution. However i dotn think you have the foggiest idea what its like too live in the Ghetto!!!. I am a poor white guy who lived in the ( Hood ), who got crazy looks everyday i lived their. I would see these so-called Cops show up and get overly- rough with Black men. They looked like they was all Cloned. When they would talk too me it was wayyyyyy different from the Blacks in the Neighborhood!! IVE SEEN how they get treated!! You are partly right in that we should always try too be peaceable as far as possible, however LOOK AROUND YOU DABOO!!!!, the whole country is so sick and tired of the craP! I am a white boy, lol or at least mostly white with some native american in thier but, the Blacks have had it the worst!, and your calling them names?! Terrorists because they are tired of taking it?! The Constitution also states that we have the DUTY to arrest those involved in Tyrany!! WE are actually n violation of the law because noone has stepped up and arrested the CROOKS!, who run our offices!! Of course some of those in Ferguson have stepped over the line but , ( When the people no longer have a SAY, and are no longer are HEARD , then you tell THEM what they are supposed too do. WE ALL are about too see EVIL on a whole new level. WE ALL are about too have too cope with TYRANY like never before seen. I dont Condone the violence but i truly understand WHY their FED-UP!!! Honestly give them a break, : question is this DABOO : What color are you? Do you know what its like too live in the HOOD? DO you know what its like too be Black?

  • So… We now protest and burn houses down because officers shoot someone who pointed a gun at them? Thats not racism, thats an officer saving their own lives. Their are plenty of videos of police shooting armed WHITE people too. You pull a gun on an office, you get shot, simple.

    • I second that, I would shoot first if a known criminal pointed a gun at me. Those cops didn’t have choice :!:

  • GOOD. Pray that those Terrorist thugs become disabled and smash their spine! They can thug thug in wheelchairs or missing feet.

    Send tthem to FEMA Camp and throw them on barb wire.

    Eat More GMO :mad:

  • The first problem here is all the judgements that are happening around this country in reference to everything that is going on in Ferguson. Until people can stop- judging without information or even a need to make a judgement, there is not a chance in hell than anything will get any better.

    Apparently, there is a real good chance that the first incident, from a year ago, involved inappropriate police action. Then, as has been typical, those policemen and their department and local government, tried to cover up their bad behavior. And, as a result, suffer no consequences.

    Have any of you ever had anything taken from you, had the act denied as wrongdoing and then had everyone that thinks they know what happened without looking into the facts, treat you like you did something wrong??? Honestly, and I mean, honestly put yourself in that position. Something tells me you would be furious, if not, go back to sleep.

    That fact of the matter is that both sides have made bad choices, period. In case you didn’t know it, the police where instructed initially to back down and let things escalate. How come non of you judgers have bothered to mention that? Have any of you come up with a good reason for that decision because I can’t come up with anything smart about that.

    Until we quit finding new ways to separate ourselves from each other, we will keep playing right into the game of the evil powers that be. When we turn on each other instead of our enemies, we are our enemy.

    The next time one of you wants to judge the people that have intentionally been kept down for us to kick, stop, get down on your knees and be grateful that you can’t understand how desperate and angry generation upon generation of a people has had to suffer without proper acknowledgement from the oppressors. That’s not even an apology, that’s just admitting to the acts.

    If you think that cops getting away with murder and condescension is helping the problem then you’re a fool. And, that’s exactly what is going on. In my mind, that is much worse than a group of people that are tired of being treated like trash. This has gone on for so long that it’s probably hard to find someone within that group that knows how to act much different. If you want to see a change, go be a mentor and teach them how to have self respect. While you’re at it, take them to the cop shop and teach the cops how to treat people with respect.

    You always find what you are looking for. That is your own personal filter that you see life through. Your reality. If you don’t like it, look for something better.

  • Dont paint Ferguson, its people or its police department with your hate brush. While St. Louis County/City was taking care of the above mentioned situation Ferguson was busy. A little 9 nine year old girl was shot to death and her mom injured as she sat on her mom’s bed doing homework a few days earlier. The community was attending a funeral. The officer who responded but couldnt do enough for the girl to keep the her alive was in tears.

  • The absurdity of all this proves to me that America is done! An all white government, and an all white police force for an all black town / suburb! Do you think any of this would be happening with a black police force for a black town! The stupidity is absolute! Let black police police blacks, and white police police whites. Is that so freak’n hard to understand!

    • And just what do you think Baltimore was run by? You are pointing the finger at the wrong problem. It’s the Justice System and the police force training that needs adjustment, not the color of a persons skin.

    • Middle class blacks have a thing about being killed. They are the ones who refuse to do it.

      • Meidan,

        Are you back on the poppy plants?
