They're all lined up, dressed in riot gear, hoping to start the riot.
They usually manage to.

Police shoot and kill suspect in north St. Louis
ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) Police shot and killed a suspect in north St. Louis at around 11:30am Wednesday. They say the suspect, 18-year-old Mansur Ball-Bey pointed a gun at them during a chase. About 200 demonstrators gathered to protest the officer involved shooting.
Chief Sam Dotson says two young armed male suspects ran out of the back of a home near the intersection of Page and Walton in north St. Louis on Wednesday. Two police officers executing a search warrant chased the suspects running from the home.
Officers told the suspects to drop their weapons. Police say one of the suspects raised his gun and pointed it at officers. One of the officers then shot at the suspects. The other officer then fired three more shots. The injured man in his 20s continued running until he collapsed. Police say the other suspect got away.
A stolen gun from Rolla, MO was recovered near the suspects body.
Members of Special Operations and the Tactical Unit were in the area to execute a search warrant. They found three more guns and some crack cocaine in the home. The neighborhood has been flagged for more policing after a few high profile crimes in the area...

The death also happened on the anniversary of the officer involved shooting of Kajieme Powell. Police say Powell was waving a knife at officers when they shot and killed him near a north St. Louis market.

(11,641 posts)9. It was also the anniversary of the death of Kajieme Powell. It's in the story above.
Was just on Twitter to see about DeRay Mckesson meeting with Bernie Sanders and he was tweeting about all this.
Saw the live feed and wall of police and was stunned. Figured it should be posted.

(111,355 posts)11. Shit, it's starting up again, damned cops in a line marching down the street
like a fucking Nazi parade, which I suppose it probably is.
Eventually protestors will get smart and melt away on side streets, reassembling behind the pigs, flummoxing them completely.

people with cameras.
