According to <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/gunfire-heard-protest-outside-ferguson-police-department-053643609.html\">Reuters<\/a>, they&#8217;ve both been released from the hospital. By the way, neither were members of the Ferguson Police Department;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> A 41-year-old officer from the St. Louis County Police was struck in the shoulder and a 32-year-old officer from the nearby Webster Groves Police Department had a bullet lodged near his ear after it passed through his cheek, Belmar said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is really an ambush, is what it is,&#8221; Belmar said. &#8220;You can&#8217;t see it coming. You don&#8217;t understand that it&#8217;s going to happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The shots rang out as a rally in front of the city&#8217;s police headquarters was dispersing hours after the local police chief resigned. After months of criticism, Police Chief Tom Jackson quit in the wake of a scathing U.S. Justice Department report finding his force was rife with racial bias.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I guess this is what happens when the evidence doesn&#8217;t support public opinion&#8217;s conclusions in some circles. Of course, the police have even more reason to be cautious in law enforcement situations which will only anger the public even more, in turn.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night a protest outside the Ferguson police station turned ugly when two police officers were &hellip; <a title=\"Ferguson cops, shot, released from hospital\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=58715\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Ferguson cops, shot, released from hospital<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":54559,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[227],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58715","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-police"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=58715"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58715\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/54559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=58715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=58715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=58715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
