I believe it was called the Sunset Law-- as in "Don't let the sun set on your head in this town, BOY."

Cops are crediting those gunshots to "Unknown Suspects".

It was not meant as an excuse, but was intended to point out that the Ferguson P.D. is likely to consist of the stupid, the lazy and rejects from other police departments (categories are not mutually exclusive).

Well, for one thing, they'd likely be arrested and/or shot, depending on skin color.

Well, the arms manufacturers can't count on presidents to ALWAYS be starting wars. Gotta sell their product somewhere.

I'm fascinated that the media are all over Michael Brown's death, while the killing of John Crawford in a Walmart in Ohio a couple of days earlier has vanished from coverage. <a href="http://www.rawstory.com/rs/..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/08/08/cops-gun-do...">http://www.rawstory.com/rs/...

Why? Because in Ohio the Negros are not <strike>protesting</strike> rioting and looting - which is, of course, the only part of the story that interests <strike>Whitey</strike> mainstream media.

On the 6pm news broadcast in St. Louis last night, it was claimed that the Ferguson P.D. pays less than many other departments in the area, so they have a problem in keeping good officers.

Also, at least one more person shot by police last night. <a href="http://www.kmov.com/news/lo..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.kmov.com/news/local/Police-searching-f...">http://www.kmov.com/news/lo...

At least this new daylight-only protesting rule will put a damper on the Klan rallies. It does apply to right-wing groups, too...right, Ferguson PD?

They also hacked the city's website, according to the news reports. At least that's what I read over on C&L.
