Two Cops Shot In Ferguson
The two officers were shot during a protest after the police chief resigned.

[su_right_ad]St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar told reporters early on Thursday that a 41-year-old officer from his department was struck in the shoulder and a 32-year-old officer from the nearby Webster Groves Police Department was hit in the face around midnight as the crowd was starting to break up.
“These police officers were standing there and they were shot, just because they were police officers,” Belmar said. “I have said all along, that we cannot sustain this forever without problems.”
He said the officers, whom he did not identify, were both conscious and being treated at a local hospital. The department later said in a statement that both were in serious condition.

“These police officers were standing there and they were shot, just because they were police officers,” Seems to me it’s a bit premature to make statements about motive before any investigation but it appears that’s SOP for the Ferguson PD.

Not just the ferg pd does it… posters here as well..:
“Bet the shooter is white.”
“…someone not connected to the protest…”
They don’t even have a suspect yet and folks are doing same thing as usual…

maybe just a chunky light skinned Latino with a WHITE male Florida driver license?
Spirit of America March 12th, 2015 at 5:57 pm
Yes, someone did:

That’s twice you were wrong about me, just in one day.
Spirit of America March 13th, 2015 at 1:02 am
tracey, you’ve posted many times on this site since your comment above and my reply how you were incorrect twice, but not a word now, not even an apology. I thought you were better than this, but I may be wrong.
trees March 12th, 2015 at 4:36 pm
Really? Please tell us about the motive that’s been assigned to every incident where a cop shoots someone black. Were they premature, were they accurate?
John Tarter March 12th, 2015 at 9:38 am
Just another “peaceful” protest in Ferguson.
Larry Schmitt March 12th, 2015 at 11:27 am
So one violent act by someone not connected to the protest automatically invalidates the protest? That’s good to know.
trees March 12th, 2015 at 4:18 pm
That one violent act was committed by a protester. He chose a different form of protest, opting for violence instead of the “hands up, don’t shoot” phony mantra that’s been adopted. His mantra is “Guns out, shoot cops”…
mea_mark March 12th, 2015 at 4:35 pm
I hadn’t realized they caught the guy already and verified he was a protester? Care to share a link?
trees March 12th, 2015 at 4:38 pm
So, your theory is that someone who wanted to kill a couple cops just happened to do so when there was also a protest going on. It was coincidental?
mea_mark March 12th, 2015 at 6:14 pm
I don’t have any working theories yet. I am waiting for some more evidence to come in. Lots of wild speculation out there and little evidence. Although I will say that the less evidence they find and the longer it goes unsolved the more I will think it was a planned plant to make the protesters look bad. Protesters are sloppy when doing stuff like this, government agents or those affiliated with government agencies acting roguely aren’t. We shall see what happens.

Wait, let me guess,,,,,9/11 was an inside job, right?
granpa.usthai March 13th, 2015 at 12:26 am
how many of the protesters were carrying arms?
trees March 13th, 2015 at 3:05 am
A better question, “How many of those protesters are convicted felons?”
Wait, sorry, I forgot what we were doing for a second….

There are protesters in that crowd who saw the shooter, they know who did it and they won’t come forward because this entire protest movement believes this was “Justice”
Larry Schmitt March 12th, 2015 at 11:28 am
And you know that how?
Spirit of America March 12th, 2015 at 11:29 am
Same way you know the shooter wasn’t “connected to the protest”?
tracey marie March 12th, 2015 at 3:01 pm
that is NOT what Lary said, you are better then that
Spirit of America March 12th, 2015 at 5:55 pm
It is exactly what Larry said…look below to his post:
“So one violent act by someone not connected to the protest automatically invalidates the protest?”

Red Eye Robot March 12th, 2015 at 11:59 am
the shooter is still at large,
William March 12th, 2015 at 12:44 pm
Well there ya go.
The reason John Wilkes Booth wasn’t immediately apprehended is because the crowd was protecting him.
This is a new revelation in the field of criminal science.
Red Eye Robot March 12th, 2015 at 6:22 pm
You just proved my argument You do understand booth was at large for 10 days because sympathizers were helping him.
granpa.usthai March 13th, 2015 at 12:24 am
so they say,
but using common reasoning:
who is more apt to fire a weapon?
1. a WHITE Racist Terrorist armed with a stolen military weapon they transport across state lines.
2. someone at a protest that does not carry firearms.
common reasoning tells me to choose 1.

“The Klan shot The Man”, c’mon everybody join in with gramps, “The Klan shot The Man, The Klan shot The Man, The Klan shot The Man, The Klan shot the Man”, Hey, that’s great, now we’re cookin’, ok, ok, ok, let’s switch it up, ready? Here we go, “Hands Up, don’t Shoot, Hands Up, don’t Shoot, Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” I think we got it now, I think we got it…….
William March 12th, 2015 at 11:45 am
they know who did it and they won’t come forward because this entire protest movement believes this was “Justice
and you know that because you interviewed each and every one of them, and they told you that.
Red Eye Robot March 12th, 2015 at 12:17 pm
What you have reduced your argument to? “Did you ask them?”
I don’t need to be a magician to know I don’t have a coin in my ear
2 cops were shot with hundreds of people standing around while it happened. How many people came forward after Mike Brown was shot? Someone attempted to assassinate 2 police officers and your first impulse in not to condemn the protesters for protecting an attempted murderer in their ranks but to try and excuse their behavior with weak supposition
William March 12th, 2015 at 12:42 pm
Is this what your argument has been reduced to?
“and they won’t come forward because this entire protest movement believes this was “Justice”
Telling us what a group of people “believe”?
I didn’t comment either way.
Know why?
Because I know just as much about the motive behind the shootings as you do.
which is……NOTHING.
“and your first impulse in not to condemn the protesters for protecting”
Not doing something isn’t actually an impulse.
Stay stupid, you seem to be good at it.
trees March 12th, 2015 at 4:24 pm
Because I know just as much about the motive behind the shootings as you do.
The motive behind the shooting was to kill cops. It occurred during a protest rally. To think there is no causal relation is to be willfully ignorant.
Roctuna March 12th, 2015 at 2:08 pm
There are eye-witness statements to the contrary so how about you wait for an investigation and real evidence before running on at the mouth.

who comes forward whenunarmed black children are killed, certainly not white people. Your kind call it culling thugs
trees March 12th, 2015 at 4:31 pm
That “unarmed black child” in Ferguson whom you refer to was trying to arm himself with a policeman’s gun. AG Holder’s own investigation reached that conclusion, he also concluded that “hands up, don’t shoot” was never said, and never happened. It was made up, kind of like the stuff that gets made up here, on LL. You know, stuff like the shooter was probably white, or, the shooting wasn’t connected to the protest…..
granpa.usthai March 13th, 2015 at 12:13 am
probably the lying sack of gz. or for all we know, a White Racist terrorist hiding behind a LE Badge trying to get things started.
trees March 13th, 2015 at 3:37 am
Wait, I thought we decided it was the Klan……now it’s George Zimmerman?? What, did he rent a car and drive up from Florida??
Oh, hold on, let me think for a second…..
Got it, it was GZ and the Klan……
They are working together.
Wow, who knew?
granpa.usthai March 13th, 2015 at 12:07 am
not if the shooters were White Racist terrorist hiding in the bushes. They’re the ones who have threatened to go around shooting people with stolen military guns they transport across state lines in their attempts to overthrow the US Government.
trees March 13th, 2015 at 3:12 am
Yep, cause we all know that there are white terrorists hiding in the bushes… and If you look real carefully you can see the white terrorists in the bushes, hiding up in the trees, and following you, wherever you go…
I have to ask you a question, cause you sound like you’re suffering from cocaine induced paranoia……
Have you been smoking crack?
fancypants March 13th, 2015 at 2:15 am
better hope your right
they… along with the shooter(s) will be serving time together once they are convicted
trees March 12th, 2015 at 10:13 pm
Pay attention to what is said by a protester at 24 sec
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbfus9VHXtU
But a protester didn’t pull the trigger, right?
granpa.usthai March 13th, 2015 at 12:03 am
not unless the Klan was in on the protest. It’s the WHITE Racist terrorist that are going around the country threatening to shoot people, shutting down Interstate Commerce by force of arms, everybody knows that.
trees March 13th, 2015 at 2:57 am
Yeah, it was the Klan, that’s it, the Klan…. YYeeeaaahhhhh….It had to be the Klan, cause we know inner city criminals don’t shoot cops….. they’re too busy shooting each other, right? The Klan, we can run with it, hell everyone bought “hands up, don’t shoot”, if they bought that they’ll buy this too….we just have to get a slogan out there and chant it over, and over…..
“The Klan shot The Man, The Klan shot The Man, The Klan shot The Man”

unfortunately things like this do more harm then good. goldfish in a bowl will have more privacy then ferguson mo. This shooter has no idea what lies ahead or what they just created
