Why would this "coalition" of protesters care if police wore protective riot gear UNLESS they were planning on attacking the police? If they're truly planning on a peaceful protest, then it shouldn't matter what kind of gear the police are wearing. Something tells me their intent is NOT a peaceful protest and they want to be able to inflict as much harm as possible, as quickly as possible.
Why would they care? That's an easy anwser. It's easier to put a hurt on a cop that's not shielded. I would NOT walk that walk the LEO's have to walk in that area. I feel for you guys! And I hope you all make it home safely!

I guess smashing windows, looting and arson in small shops and strip malls isn't disruptive enough? Maybe they want to do the same at a larger mall?Was kinda thinkin along those lines myself. Combine that with the fact that the police are suppose to let them gather in "larger, more disruptive spaces than police would usual allow for longer than police would usually allow" and you have the beginnings to a scary party. Hope everyone stays safe when this breaks.
My thoughts exactly. I'm sure our resident "All cops are jackbooted stormtroopers" guy will be along to explain it to us...
But hey, you know they only requested that they not use rubber bullets. Perhaps (if necessary) they can oblige them by using the real thing. Hopefully it won't come to that though.
When it happens I feel bad for the real citizens of Furguson. It won't matter the verdict. Finding the officer guilty would turn it in to a celebration riot. People are itching to run in and riot. It will happen
I feel horrible for the small businesses around St. Louis. They are bleeding money to weak tea response of the politicians which only encourage misbehavior.

The only type of businesses that are safe in Ferguson are bookstores.
