I am about 30 miles from Ferguson Mo on the
Illinois side of the river.the riots that started
there have spread much like the fires. There is stuff happening just 10 miles away at this time. Smoke fills the air with a bright glow off to the west. IM at work right now at a nursing home IM Alhambra just ten men from some of the riots going on now in Alton. They say it's heading this way.

Read the grand jury notes before spouting off. Brown was far from innocent.

I have taken the time to review what I can find on line and based on Missouri law and the situation I'm sure many other officers would have done the same as Officer Wilson
Uncontrolled crowds and riots doomed Detroit in the '60s. I remember my father having guns and ammo open around the house and we saw smoke rising in the air only a few miles from our house.
Giuliani said in an interview today he didn't let that happen in NYC during his time and things got better. He said they did not " back off" like they did in Ferguson. Throw a brick go to jail. Break a window go to jail. Start a fire go to jail in NYC. You get the picture.
