FBI: Ferguson Decision ‘Will Likely’ Lead To Violence
The FBI is warning that when the grand jury reveals its findings in the case of officer Darren Brown, it “will likely” lead to protesters threatening and possibly attacking police.
[su_center_ad]
Peaceful protesters could be caught in the middle, and electrical facilities or water treatment plants could also become targets. In addition, so-called “hacktivists” like the group “Anonymous” could try to launch cyber-attacks against authorities.
“The announcement of the grand jury’s decision … will likely be exploited by some individuals to justify threats and attacks against law enforcement and critical infrastructure,” the FBI says in an intelligence bulletin issued in recent days. “This also poses a threat to those civilians engaged in lawful or otherwise constitutionally protected activities.”
The FBI bulletin expresses concern only over those who would exploit peaceful protests, not the masses of demonstrators who will want to legitimately, lawfully and collectively express their views on the grand jury’s decision.
The bulletin “stresses the importance of remaining aware of the protections afforded to all U.S. persons exercising their First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.”[su_csky_ad]

Driving home last week or so ago, passing the sign “Historic Downtown Ferguson Next Left” with a military helicopter circling overhead… I get the feeling that was just the trailer for the drama to come.

Don’t worry. C&L is a shitty hellhole that’s not worth anyone’s time.
After years of posting there, those assholes banned me (over a year ago) for nothing more than not showing enough Snowden love and Greenwald worship. They don’t support diversity and free speech and are like Drudge for the left.
My life has gone along quite nicely without those small minded zealots.
tracey marie November 18th, 2014 at 8:29 am
I am being attacked by 2 posters there, accused of being a phobe. Squatters seem to cause problems and get others blamed…I fell for the taunts and reciprocated. A mod said I was being a phobe, another poster said…umm that was me.
KABoink_after_wingnut_hacker November 18th, 2014 at 8:33 am
It used to be a good site and I went there for years, but the mods are unreasonable jackasses. I don’t miss it at all any more.
tracey marie November 18th, 2014 at 8:36 am
I refuse to be scared away, I will post there and watch a few go crazy. I lost my temper the other day it will not happen again. The mod backed down but did not acknowledge they were wrong
tracey marie November 18th, 2014 at 8:36 am
several come here and lurk and report what is said here, they look for trouble
whatthe46 November 17th, 2014 at 10:24 pm
i have this sick feeling that the decision has already been made and not the outcome i’m at least hoping for. this should be a message for all law enforcement everywhere in this fk’n country… STOP the police brutality NOW! just look at this mess! i hope wilson (and the ferguson P.D.) is proud of him/themselves. racism and prejudging someone is not acceptable. a badge and a gun does not give you the right or authority to pass judgment and exact the death penalty upon any of our citizens. they need to get their sh’t together.
tracey marie November 17th, 2014 at 10:34 pm
A cop site showed them whining because they can not use sticks, can not intimidate by hitting the sticks on the ground and telling residents to arm themselves. They are angry they can not be in a lead position to hurt the fergusan protestors.

To make such a statement would lead me to believe they already know the verdict and the whole ‘Grand Jury’ was a Sham from the get go, just to quell public opinion….
whatthe46 November 17th, 2014 at 10:27 pm
yep. i agree with you. and to think there’s no bias on this jury. wrong. we already know one of the jury members was speaking about her thoughts to a friend that was posted on the net. and i highly doubt the D.A. prosecuting the case and presenting the “facts” was interested in the first place.

I think I saw mention of that I also saw how they were really asking the GJ to take care in their decision… I go through soo many stories, even I get confused…

but a pissed off people can be as well. let them protest peacefully. it only looks ugly when you have a fk’n army expecting something ugly and intimidating people who refuse to be intimidated. then that’s when all hell breaks loose.

Apparently the evidence is not there to warrant an indictment. The Justice Department has already pulled out of any indictment. If riots do happen, there will be a massive backlash against the protestors. the chant of “No Justice-No Peace” will basically become code for if we dont get what we want, we will just riot and cause destruction.
Well that just gives me a warm cozy feeling inside…
tracey marie November 17th, 2014 at 10:35 pm

whatthe46 November 17th, 2014 at 11:09 pm
“secret” yep. “…”No Justice-No-Peace”…” is not a fk’n code word for, blah blah blah. that’s where ignorance comes in. if your son had been shot 6 times, twice in the head, found with no weapon on him, and the person responsible is a known racist cop, you’d be just as upset. its not justice for anyone to be shot down unarmed by a fk’n cop. disgusting.

But you’re okay with Wilson supporters throwing beer bottles and hurling insulting at the peaceful protesters? You do like a double standard.

Pistol-Packing AKA "Susie" November 18th, 2014 at 12:53 pm
Good to know.
Besides all the talking heads on TV, it has been widely reported they cant make the case. Here is a WP article for one. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/federal-civil-rights-charges-unlikely-against-police-officer-in-ferguson-shooting/2014/10/31/56189d80-6055-11e4-8b9e-2ccdac31a031_story.html
Just like the Zimmerman/Trayvon case, they will say it is ongoing and will keep it lingering to show good faith.
sbslabradors November 18th, 2014 at 3:05 pm
That is over a month and a half old. Nice try. The WP was taken to task for their lack of ethical reporting.
Pistol-Packing AKA "Susie" November 18th, 2014 at 3:09 pm
try watching the news and read a little. The evidence that is being reported will not support a civil rights or criminal charge.
OldLefty November 18th, 2014 at 3:19 pm
What lack of ethical reporting and taken to task by whom?
ChrisVosburg November 18th, 2014 at 5:39 pm
Yes, I totally can see how this WaPo article supports your contention that “The Justice Department has already pulled out of any indictment.”
Especially inasmuch as it contains this statement from DOJ spokesman Brian Fallon:
“This is an irresponsible report by The Washington Post that is based on idle speculation.”
Honestly, Susan, you are such a caution!
Pistol-Packing AKA "Susie" November 18th, 2014 at 5:54 pm

Foundryman November 17th, 2014 at 11:51 pm
When the indictment comes down and the murdering cop gets arrested, who do they think will be going violent? The KKK?
The point is, there’s enough evidence here clearly pointing to the cop killing an unarmed kid for no reason, or for jay walking. I expect the GJ to indict him for something less than murder since he’s a cop. Shooting a fleeing unarmed teenager 6 times in broad daylight and getting away with it? I don’t think so. But we’ll see.

While I can find several images, I can’t find the specific story that was a throwaway line at the end of a GMA segment yesterday morning about a police officer in Georgia finding the flyer on his door. (It was 3 minutes on Ferguson, wrapping with that last line, as if it underscored the mounting tensions.)

fahvel November 18th, 2014 at 3:05 am
the expression “lawfully and peacefully expressing views” means what? and then, achieves what? It seems the fbi is actually (possibly unwhittingly) setting the stage for something that might not have ever happened and now, if the jury makes an anti public decision, will possibly happen.
greenfloyd November 18th, 2014 at 6:10 pm
The Grand Jury is made up of members of the public selected at random. They are instructed to determine if a crime has been committed. Their decision is nether pro- or anti-public, because they are the public!
rg9rts November 18th, 2014 at 3:52 am
This is news???? That clown Nixon(must run in the family) deliberately stands up and provokes the community to act in a violent way …and the trigger happy thugs with badges…don’t forget the KKK members(with badges) that promised violence and see the governors statement as a declaration of open season on blacks…
Bunya November 18th, 2014 at 2:20 pm
If they think the decision is going to lead to violence, then I think we already know what the decision is going to be. I’m afraid this is nothing more than another Trayvon Martin case.
