Street Thugs vs Thug Cops: Ferguson Anniversary Sparks Street Gunfight

21st Century Wire says…
Peaceful commemorations turned violent late Sunday night. What was marketed by activists and community organizers as a ‘peaceful event’ quickly morphed into a scene out of New Jack City, albeit without the bling.
All bets were off when armed street agitators and police exchanged gunfire last night.
County officials declared a ‘state of emergency’, citing violence by demonstrators as crowds converged on the town of Ferguson, Missouri to mark the one-year anniversary of the death Michael Brown.
‘The recent acts of violence will not be tolerated in a community that has worked so tirelessly over the last year to rebuild and become stronger,’ said St. Louis County Executive Steve Stenger.
Regrettably, mobs could not resist looting some of the very same stores which they destroyed on multiple occasions in 2014.
