My thoughts exactly someone is standing by the sidelines wanting provocation

It's a false flag operation. Convince people to disarm the police and you can hire private troops like Blackwater for domestic protection. It's just another scheme to privatize our lives

Tonight will be the real proof with the curfew

Ignore other possibly outrageous news...

Because as far as I know...nobody is looting during the day. Lets get him out there with them during the night and see what happens. Looting one night, SWAT and the "militarized" police show up and you hear nothing of looting. They send those guys home and like magic, looting starts again.

Starting to look like the "militarized" police did a great job in stopping property damage and items being stolen. Which has been my stance all along, they look scary and they keep people in check because of that. Guess it looks like I was right.

It's actually been the opposite, so I don't know what that quote is based on

Pedantic question: Is it "agent provocateurs" or "agents provocateur"?

On a side-note, thanks to this sub, I can spell "provocateur" correctly without spellcheck. I guess that's good...

Agents provocateur.

Like "Eggs McMuffin"

Or sons of bitches, versus son-of-a-bitches.

Well since it's a French term being anglicized, agent provocateurs is probably more correct, but since agent is also an English word, you may want to pluralize it instead. It's up to you!

EDIT: Lol, merriam-webster says the plural is agents provocateurs. Two s's

Just when I thought the rabbit hole could go no deeper...

this is how the CIA overthrows countries.

I'll bet the provocation originated with the governor's political staff, the idea being to make the situation blow up so the gov could swoop in like a savior and restore peace and harmony. He looks like a strong, moral leader. Next stop, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Scott Walker, Wisconsin governor, was caught openly asking whether they should use agents provocateurs. However, I tend to suspect that these conspiracies happen at the federal level, with minimal state involvement.

Racist and race-baiting agent provocateurs have been unleashed here in Reddit for sure during this Ferguson police-state action.

There were apparently two white looters at the scene threatening journalists with knives. Check WesleyLowery's Twitter feed. Lots of anecdotal accounts of looters jumping into cars with out of state plates, too.

It's really not obvious. Shitty people taking advantage of a volatile situation. Also, there is little benefit to throwing more gasoline on a volatile situation. The police are not winning in terms of public opinion. Leveraging thugs to give them an excuse to fire tear gas doesn't help anyone.

Actually, the looting IS drawing sympathy for the cops. Not sure which Internet you are using, but I am seeing a lot of support for the police. People saying "What do you expect when you riot and loot?"

As a St. Louis resident who has been following this very closely since the beginning and long-term /r/conspiracy reader, let me share my own thoughts. I don't think this is a case of agents provocateur, at all. The residents of Ferguson, by and large, are peacefully protesting in the streets. The looters, by and large, are scum of the lowest order from neighboring communities and from across the river in East St. Louis in Illinois. They are taking advantage of the situation to get free rims, cheap beer and and hair weaves. The locals last night on the stream were successfully defending several stores from looters, the liquor store couldn't be controlled though. The reason they have out of state plates are they are either from Illinois, are stealing plates from other cars (confirmed multiple times via police scanner that tags were not matching the make/model of the car they were on) so people can't get their tag, or using rental cars which are more likely than not to have out-of-state plates from all over the U.S.

The cops around here want calm and peace, this whole deal is a huge black eye to their forces and to the city/state as a whole. These looters are straight up thugs, not trained undercover operatives.

I would be more willing to believe that it wasn't a planned event if the police had acted against the looters. Instead, they shot peaceful protesters, and watched idly by as looters destroyed property and stole goods.

Really the least malicious thing was that the police ignored looting because it was helping them discredit protesters, in a case of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." But that also meant they were abandoning their primary mission - to protect and serve the public. The most malicious thing is that police staged the whole deal, which would implicate them as conspirators (or at least accessories) for grand larceny and destruction of property.

I believe the reason the police did not intervene is it would have only made the situation worse. Tensions are very high and there is a lot of cop-hate right now around here. The past few nights there have been people with rifles and shotguns driving around shooting aimlessly, some rock and glass bottles have been thrown at police. It wouldn't have been a pretty sight last night if the cops intervened with the looters.

Couldn't agree with you more.

Kermit Roosevelt would be proud.

Question, Why do they insist on protesting at night?

civil rights do not expire at 9pm

still wouldn't it make more sense to protest during the day, there would be less conflict, unless you are looking for trouble or looting.

You're making good points here. They held the all day rally a couple days ago, during the day, and there was no rioting or looting. Of course, as soon as the sun set it was a different story.

The police get to just pick and chose who's house to raid while everyone just goes to sleep? If they're protesting the police, you can do that day and night. Maybe that's the kind of protest they want. The one that draws the most attention. If its violent....MSM picks it up and demonizes the effort. If it is NON violent, MSM can only ignore.

and if the police weren't there they would be looting

There wouldn't be looting if the police hadn't shot an unarmed kid and then acted like children when trying to resolve the problem. Nothing adult happened, just more violence. Some "person" makes the decision to send in those police in riot gear and rifles. That's what they want. They don't send councilors or whatever to solve the problem. They go to the gun, right away.

Doesn't that bother you? Don't get me wrong, deal with looters as you have to but APC's and body armor to deal with these problems is overkill. It's conditioning.

I think this could have been resolved much easier if they just basically outright apologized and owned up for their mistake, if it was. Do the adult thing right out for everyone to see and shock the shit out of everyone. I know they wouldn't have a reason to riot if the PD was on TV apologizing and such. Doing the right thing? I think it can be done. Pay some dollars to the family, let them be on their way as best as possible.

Instead they give them EVERY reason in the world to riot. Provoking them. They're willing to create the problem.

You make it sound like if the police weren't around all the time, everyone would just riot.

looting started after the police rolled in.

This is meant to wrap up the elections for the Republicans, of course, not to mention fits right in with the anti-police campaign.

Sooo because you said so this happened?

Actually all the rioters were lizard people who live under the denver airport wake UP!

Very insightful comment right here guys... care to add more?

Thank you.

is this a live stream or an archived video of what you're talking about?

That vid doesn't remotely back your claim , it shows a road block , where are the agent provocateur?. If your going to make a claim you need to back it up I vid of a road block does not do that.
