FERGUSON, Mo. — Two St. Louis County police officers were shot early Thursday outside the Ferguson police station, the county police said. The officers’ conditions were not known.The shootings followed protests by several dozen demonstrators, which included occasional clashes with the police and a few arrests. But the situation had been relatively calm for about half an hour when several shots rang out from a distance, and protesters and police officers alike went to the ground.
After the gunfire stopped, several officers appeared to be dragging a colleague back toward the police station.

Absolutely senseless violence.

Edit: Tried to edit thread title to "2" instead of "two" after NYT changed the headline. Not sure if it is going to be reflected by the forum yet, but it is appearing so on my edit screen.

Agreed.

On a side note pertaining to you avatar, I met Jason Mewes when I worked at a deli in Long Island, NY. He and Kevin Smith, one of my favorite directors, were coming in every morning before my shift began and eating as they were attending at wedding somewhere near by and got there a few days early. I came in early when I learned they had been ordering each morning and caught Jason right before I clocked in. Missed Kevin by about 10 ten minutes. Asked him to sign a brown paper sack I grabbed off the counter. He was cool as hell about it. I lost it in the moving process. Had it been Kevin's, would have taken more care of it. One of the coolest days of my life.
 
Re: 2 Officers Are Shot Outside Ferguson Police Station

disgraceful, I hope they get the idiots who did this real soon. There is no justification for this kind of a thing whatsoever.
 
Re: 2 Officers Are Shot Outside Ferguson Police Station

I wouldnt blame the cops for not even going into those neighborhoods anymore. Leave the animals to themselves.

I met Kevin Smith at an animation festival about 15 years ago. Very cool guy. One of my friends was an extra in Jay and Silent Bob strike back. lol.

I'll get to meet him one day. Not really in a rush to do it. It was cool just running into Jason Mewes as I did without having to search him out as most have done or gone to where he was. Would be kinda of great to have that happen a second time with another one of my favorite stars.

Eric Holder can add flame-fanning to his "legacy."

Frankly, I think these death are Holder's fault. I know I'll get attacked by the race baiters, but his insistance on making sure racism was injected into his post report comments are directly related to their deaths in my views.
 
Re: 2 Officers Are Shot Outside Ferguson Police Station

Yes, you will be attacked. I expect to be too. I don't care.

The violent and selfish morons in Fergeson would have gone off no matter who had spoken.

Pull out all services and government employees and let them choke on their own filth.

Yes, you probably will. But I for one agree with you.

American I fully condem this violence but you just can't always shoot the messenger. I am not trying to attack you or be a race baiter but Holder did not pick up the guns and shoot. Do you really think either the racism in the report was purposely exaggerated or injected to incite violence?

Re: 2 Officers Are Shot Outside Ferguson Police Station

****ing savages.

This is what happens when the pro-reform the police tactics and actions people back the wrong thug.


This is what happens when the executive branch plays up the race card.


This is what happens when you respond to protests with tanks

This is what happens when the media drooled for riots.

No. The person that shot at the officers was attempting capital murder. Lets not confuse one act for another.

Holder knew or should have known that what he said would incite violence.

You to are conflating the demonstration with the attempted murder of a peace officer. The protesters did not shoot at the cops...a person or persons did.

The Ferguson Police are investigating and seeking a person or persons involved....not a protest.

edit: ...Not Holder not race baiters. Remember personal responsibility? The person on persons that shot the police officers is responsible.

So is the report a lie? What was specifically said in the report that would incite violence - please quote.

Why should you be "attacked"? Your opinion nonsensical...but you are OK.

The protests are based on a lie. you ramp up the emotions of the unstable among you based on a lie.

The entire premise of the report was a lie. It claims to show that the Ferguson police department is racist but fails to do so. The claim that because more blacks are arrested or cited that the police are biased is false. Ferguson police are actually less likely to arrest blacks than most other police departments. The plain fact of the matter is that blacks commit more crimes of all types.
