Hopefully, the police displayed the "acceptable level of tolerance" prescribed above last night for ya. Satisfied? Or would they still be big ole meanies if they try to keep the place from burning to the ground tonight?

You got to admit that you miss Riot's take and the entertainment of the verbal warfare that ensued.

Michael Brown's step-father is a great guy. His name is Louis Head. He is an ex-convict whose rap sheet includes two felony narcotics convictions. Last night he repeatedly urged protesters to “Burn this bitch down.”

Wonder if he will be charged with incitement to riot

he ought to be.
protesting is legal. rioting, arson, etc, is not. nor should we have a mob mentality toward justice, with someone being charged just because some citizens are angry. is that what they think they want, a cop charged even tho the evidence doesn't indicate he did anything wrong? how would that fix anything?
departments that have cameras on police, as well as dashcams, have shown significantly lower claims of police wrongdoing. it can show that something was done wrong, but can also show someone yelling 'brutality' is full of it.

I know its police training to go for the kill shot if they fear for their life, but wonder why the dont shoot out the legs first to incapacitate them first ?

because someone wounded can most definitely kill you if you give them time to return fire.
there was a story this week about a 12 yo in cleveland, shot and killed by police. he was in a park, pointing a pellet gun at people. someone called the cops, they responded. they told him three times to put his hands up. instead, he reached for the gun in his waistband, and was shot. who's at fault? well, the 12 yo was. is it a damned crying shame he's dead? yes. but will i second guess them on that? nope

Riot served as the Gruber prototype, a true American puddinhead.

Protesters in Ferguson set traps for police

I think they and the District Attorney did everything they could to make the situation as bad as possible. Either that or they're just that inept. Either is possible.

And that prosecutor made it clear from the start he had no interest in bringing it to trial. The old saying goes that a District Attorney can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich if he wants them to. This article is of the opinion that the public was played, rather than the prosecutor just being an idiot:

Have you seen the photos of Darren "Dumbo Ears" Wilson's alleged injuries? I've had rosacea flareups that look worse than anything on his face.

From the article (worth a read):

By this time next year, Ferguson’s white mayor and all-white (save one) City Council will continue presiding over their majority-black suburban plantation. Economic disparities will persist, and local governments will continue preying on the poor for traffic fines to keep their budgets balanced. No recall elections will have ever been mounted—it should have happened by now—and young, know-it-all activists lacking political savvy will have missed golden opportunities to field candidates, raise fuds and crush the status quo.

No one, of course, had expected the tragic killing of Michael Brown to metastasize into an epic post-civil-rights-era clash between police and protesters. Once it did, we unraveled the rotten pistachio nut of race recurring like a bad cancer. Predictable bursts of reaction, from the peaceful to the violent pop-off, will be met by well-equipped police in waiting. But while the heat from calls for justice might thaw the frigid night air, the next day, month and year will find it right back where it all started.

[Danzig]

there are times when the police probably go too far, too fast. there are most likely times that they reach for a gun before the need to, or react overwhelmingly forcibly.
this isn't one of those times. there was no way, especially once all the evidence was collected, including gunpowder on the 'victim' which indicates extreme close range when shot, that this cop was ever going to be charged with anything.
there was a struggle for the gun, which put the cop in fear of his life.

You are the punchline of a bad joke at best and more than likely you are simply just another wannabe charlatan. I pray you don't ever have to "forage" out of Utopia for non-GMO pistachio nuts or some sh1t and have to actually deal in the real world.......lol no I don't...
