CNN has live coverage of police arresting people in Ferguson

[flamingdem]

The journalists are surrounded on 3 sides. They are letting them stay but the rest have to go. Someone threw a water bottle and caused the cops to crack down.

So anything could happen at this point.

CNN reporter saying that it's chaotic. The police have dogs tonight.

1. here is the link to vice news live feed again

[flamingdem]

2. Can't get that to run

right now.

[rollin74]

5. it was down for a few minutes. back up now

[tblue37]

15. Stupid cops always have too yell and curse at everyone, even when they are just

being politely addressed or asked a question.

[rollin74]

3. a couple of people were throwing water bottles at cops

police moved in formed a line

media is now being ordered to go to designated area near command post

[flamingdem]

6. The reporter said that community organizers kept if from getting violent

and they told people to go home and the majority did.

The reporter saying that he was frightened with cops in aggressive stances with rifles pointed, yeesh

4. Keep the Calm, People.. Do it for Michael Brown!

thanks flamindem

[flamingdem]

10. They did much better tonight Cha

just the agitators causing a ruckus. Let's hope it cools down from here!

7. Someone threw a water bottle...call in the special forces!!

[Live and Learn]

21. Empty one at that. nt

[Purveyor]

8. What the 'camera crews' have been hoping for the all fucking night. The hysterical

commentary of this CNN oaf should be considered for a 'incitement' charge himself.

[flamingdem]

9. He sounds pretty scared

and inexperienced with aggressive cops!

[Purveyor]

12. Sounds more like a corporate news shill that is just begging for a story

to justify 'Anderson Cooper' on the scene.

[flamingdem]

14. Was Anderson Cooper there?

That's overkill. They usually trot him out for the Middle East and disasters.

[Purveyor]

20. Saw him earlier tonight. I'm sure he is having his 'beauty nap' at this hour. eom

[Amonester]

29. AC is there since at least yesterday

On CNN International from where I stand (Canada).

Sorry to watch sort of a micro-80's South Africa "remnant" still exists near the Mississipi River!

I never thought the World Watching would ever Witness such Civil-Rights violations again.

[Downwinder]

11. Any legal monitors?

[flamingdem]

13. Hard to tell

the Amnesty International people wear yellow but there's so little light .. looks mostly like protesters.

[Live and Learn]

22. Yes, Amnesty International and Lawyers Guild.

[Downwinder]

28. 20 thousand population, can't afford too many legal awards and

keep a 50+ officer PD.

[bigtree]

38. HERE'S ONE

Ryan J. Reilly ?@ryanjreilly 19m
RT @akjohnson1922: That green hat reads National Guild Lawyer, which is a legal observer. #Ferguson http://instagram.com/p/r6K-lJALeX/

[rollin74]

16. peace keepers are pushing agitators out of the protest

[flamingdem]

18. Good!

So far pretty good compared to yesterday.

[conservaphobe]

17. Journalist arrested.

Wesley Lowery @WesleyLowery

Reporter face down in road being arrested. Tried to take picture. Officer shoves me

[flamingdem]

19. The whole department needs remedial training

and an introduction to the Bill of Rights and the Constitution!

[Purveyor]

23. "CNN reporter saying that it's chaotic. " Am I missing something? Is there

a secret CNN feed I can't find as I sure the hell don't see 'chaotic'?

Camera crews deeply disappointed I'm sure. Even by their own account, more police and camera crews than protesters.

[nolabear]

24. I've thought that often.

Not that I'm diminishing the real problems. But now and then they'll say it's chaotic and it looks...well, confrontational but hardly chaotic.

[rollin74]

25. at least 9 people arrested. 1 injured person put in an ambulance

possible NLG observer among the arrested

[flamingdem]

26. And a journalist according to someone up thread

but there were 80 last night so it seems to have improved a bit, at least so far.

[Live and Learn]

27. Lawyers Guild watcher arrested. nt

[Aerows]

32. Come to Ferguson, MO

Where Amnesty International observers and Pro Bono lawyers get harassed and arrested!

[flamingdem]

33. Crazy, the cop doesn't even know the concept of observer

that is nuts.

[Aerows]

36. I'd insult a box of rocks

by comparing them to the people in charge of this situation in Ferguson. In fact, a bag of hair would get outraged.

[Warpy]

30. Yeah, funny thing about that, saw a cop with a billy club raised chasing somebody

then all the feeds crashed at once. No cell phones, no nothing.

When the mess was over, all the services miraculously came back up.

Looks like they've learned their lessons from foreign riots, real ones and not the polite crowd in Ferguson.

[Aerows]

31. PR Disaster Ferguson, MO. n/t

[flamingdem]

34. Yes when they arrest the neutral observers

as they just did with the Lawyers Guild person, sheesh

[Aerows]

35. It's unreal

I can't imagine what the higher ups are thinking. "Let's arrest some people from the Lawyer's Guild, some journalists and a few of those Amnesty International observers. That will improve our image."

[bigtree]

37. Just in the last hour! DON'T MISS THIS POST!

Very quiet and peaceful tonight in Ferguson - then, one PLASTIC bottle thrown and its police state!
