<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nIn case you didn’t hear, there have been riots and looting in Ferguson, Missouri this weekend after 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot was shot by police. According to the local news<\/a>;<\/p>\n Witnesses say that he was unarmed and his hands were in the air when a Ferguson police officer shot and killed him Saturday.<\/p>\n Authorities told a different story. The police officer tried to get out of his vehicle just before the shooting, but Brown pushed him back into the car, said St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar.<\/p>\n Brown \u201cphysically assaulted\u201d the officer, Belmar said, and the teen tried to get the officer\u2019s weapon. Brown was shot about 35 feet from the vehicle, the chief said, declining to provide more details.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Whatever the circumstances, it probably doesn’t justify the looting and rioting. But, that’s what’s happening. Anyway, according to Twitchy<\/a>, rumors started flying last night about tanks being sent to Ferguson on Twitter feeding the frenzy. I know the folks who weren’t in Ferguson were hoping for a bloodbath in the streets for their own political reasons, but, no those tanks aren’t going to the St Louis suburb. Our troops have more pressing issues with which to deal.<\/p>\n I don’t know what happened with Mr. Brown, but whatever happened, it doesn’t justify the violence. It also doesn’t justifying calling for a race war, especially by people who are geographically removed from the event. Again from Twitchy<\/a>;<\/p>\n I know I don’t have to say anything, but, just in case, watch yourself in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"Race](\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Race-wars-300x256.jpg\")
