More protests to come, but will the protesters wait till the facts are known? We'll see.
I'm all for prosecuting if someone is guilty but these protests for weeks and months
before the facts come out just seem counterproductive to real justice.

This article has pretty good video of the "protestors" kicking cars, knocking out a window, and trying to grab a cop. I just love the wording that my article uses in the title. "Officer shoots teen." No mention of him being old enough to vote or the fact that he had a gun and shot first.
Unrest in St. Louis...as usual

The family of the teen says that he wasn't armed.

I believe the guy was an off duty police officer. But in all reality, there is no such thing as an off duty police officer. They're always on duty. And they'll all tell you the same. They're held to the same standard 100% of the time whether they're in uniform or not. And civilians are expected to treat them as if they were in uniform all the time. If you attack an officer out of uniform, knowingly or unknowingly, the consequences are the same as if they were in uniform. Of course, this is all speaking from my experience in Texas. Missouri laws may differ but I have a feeling they're the same.
Edit: In this case, the young man fired at the police officer and a gun was found. This is what I would call a justified shooting on the police officer's behalf.

Court records show that Myers was scheduled to stand trial in November for unlawful use of a weapon and resisting arrest. This summer, Myers was a passenger in a car involved in a high-speed car chase in St. Louis, officials say. The car crashed just after midnight on June 27 in the 1100 block of South Grand Boulevard. Myers got out of the car, and a police officer yelled at him to stop. Instead, Myers ran off and tossed a gun into a sewage drain. Police caught him nearby and recovered the gun, a loaded .380-caliber pistol.
Myers was jailed for a few days. Then, in early July, Myers was released on bail after posting $1,000 cash bond. His bail originally was set at $30,000 by Judge Rex Burlison but was dropped to $10,000 after Judge Theresa Counts Burke agreed with a defense motion that it was excessive. Burke allowed Myers to post 10 percent of that in cash. A second judge upheld that bond amount later.
On July 8, as a condition of bail, Myers was activated on electronic monitoring for house arrest, court records say. He could leave his home in the 4200 block of Castleman Avenue for work, school, court appearances, meetings with attorneys and meetings with the private monitoring firm.
And also, the gun was stolen and it had been originally bought at the same location that my girlfriend bought a 22 after the first Ferguson protests started getting out of hand!
And the pattern your seeing, isn't a pattern at all, its a way of life for the unjustly held down by society..

Just let em have it.......... then in a few years go in and see what happened to it.
Maybe thats it.....Just have certain sections of city where no police can go.......No paramedics or fire rescue either. Fuck em! Just let them destroy themselves.
No matter whats justified or not ......these people will always feel they are above the law.
Either way I get that cops are in danger all of the time, but I also know that there is a right way and a wrong way to handle situations. There are too many situations being handled incorrectly today IMO.
