The FBI is gearing up for the “likely violence” in the wake of the Ferguson ruling, following announcements yesterday that the governor declared a state of emergency to deploy the National Guard.
The FBI bulletin, oddly, warns that protesters will likely use the ruling as a pretext for violence against the government, and that the violence also poses a threat to “constitutionally protected activities,” which presumably means the protesters themselves.
The FBI’s prediction of violence goes well beyond Ferguson, or even metro Saint Louis, and predicts that attacks are likely “nationwide.” In response to the FBI bulletin, police nationwide are gearing up to target “sympathizers” of the protesters.
The FBI is predicting, with serious criticism, that the protesters will be “equipped with tactical gear/gas masks or bulletproof vests to mitigate law enforcement measures.”
By mitigating law enforcement measures, they mean the protesters will be wearing vests so they don’t get killed when shot, and gas masks to avoid suffocation during the near constant volleys of tear gas police are planning to lob at them. In any other context these would be considered defensive measures, but with officials planning another bloody crackdown, they see any limitations on their ability to shoot/gas people as inherently aggressive.
From Jason' article:
"… officials planning another bloody crackdown"
Can you remind us about previous bloody crackdown? Did it happen during Rodney King riots in LA?
Indeed, Reginald Denny was beaten to a bloody pulp. It's still available on YouTube.
You are right, but you'll get plenty of down-votes here. As for dumb Denny his mistake was to stop his truck (that and not to be carrying). I would have shifted down into low gear and just kept on going. If those thugs, er 'protesters' had wanted to play Deathrace 2000 with me, so be it.
Should that read "hopes for violence"? There must be tons of creeps in DC waiting for another chance to play police state gone rogue on American streets.
My god, just open fire on the mob and get it over with- you know the police and other various 'law enforcement' heroes on hand are just itching to try out their shiny new assault rifles and grenade launchers and roll onto the streets mounted on their military-surplus armored trucks and whatnot. And that's not even taking into account what the National Guard has on tap. Give a cop a nightstick and he'll find a reason to use it- give him a gun and he'll find a reason to use that, too.
It sounds more like the FBI is warning protesters to protect themselves as well as they can from the use of chemical warfare and high power weapons that the government plans to use against them. Thanks FBI, for the head up.
Police state USA — But only for the “lazy uneducated”
The protesters who are about to come out in force, in response to a police state gone crazy with deadly force, virtually all will be of an IQ that cannot handle college level studies, namely the uneducated lower half of society.
For Empire USA has a fake morality that allows the educated upper half to hoard all the wealth, that allows the forth of society most intelligent to be the rich ruling class that hoards 75% of all the wealth in the richest Empire the world has ever known. The fake morality that the educated upper half is worthy, righteous and godly, that the uneducated lower half is lazy, criminal and evil.
So, to protect their ability to hoard all the wealth, all of law enforcement spends 95% of their time establishing a police state for laboring men, such that over a forth of all the prisoners on earth are incarcerated in our jails and prisons and virtually all are laboring men.
Problem is, we are all given a different level of intelligence so that the bonding emotions of humanity may be experienced by all. So that compassion and pity may motivate charity and in a way that produces a grateful response.
Too bad our sensationalist cultural Marxist media couldn't wait for the facts to emerge and had to inflame passions here. They tried to shape the narrative instead of just letting the truth emerge on its own. Note the 'gentle giant' angle they employed, which was demolished when photos emerged of a store clerk being strong-armed and manhandled. They bear at least some responsibility for what has happened and will happen.
