Looks like more protests, arrests, destruction of property, and violence. A 18 year old fired shots at police, they fired back and sent him to the hospital in critical condition.

I'm on board with #BlackLivesMatter but it would be idiotic to hold this guy up as a martyr. The cop was not escalating the situation, he was acting in self defense as anybody in their right mind would do, cop or no.

According to what I've read the whole fracas started when 2 rival gangs started shooting at one another in a crowded strip mall (Lovely people, these "gangstahs" ) and the one opened fire on the cops who rolled up and then all hell broke loose.

I have to admit, it would be kinda funny if this becomes a tradition. Like if in 50 years, instead of looting and shit, it might be a parade or something or a big party like mardi gras, with everyone participating by leaving out "loot" all over town the day leading up to the event.

Can you imagine, in the year 2065, people in a mad rush to book flights & hotels to the annual Ferguson Loot Party

So was the cop who shot michael brown, which was the start of #blacklivesmatter and is why that slogan is retarded and doesn't make sense. Along with all the other "racist incidents" that were proven to be fabricated bullshit just like the michael brown "hands up, don't shoot" propaganda that made it look like #blacklivesmatter had any merit to it when in reality it was just police killing criminals when it could of been avoided if it wasn't for themselves.

The whole movement is senseless, all it has done is make things worse.
Why don't they concern themselves with blacks killing blacks? The media won't cover it!

shooting back puts more lives in danger, theres no reason to have a shootout, just get the kids plates or snap a photo and run, then just pick him up peacefully at some random time into the future
