(Reuters) - Two police officers were shot during a protest outside the Ferguson, Missouri police department early on Thursday, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper reported.
The Post-Dispatch reported that Ferguson Lt. Col. Al Eickhoff said he did not believe either of the officers were part of his department. He could not provide details on their injuries to the Post-Dispatch.

I read an article that was written to make me feel bad for the two innocent officers. It's possible that the two cops were some of the best guys and not rascist assholes... but they are now reaping what was sewn. When black men are pulled over and harrased just for being black, then they shouldn't be surprised when the blowback results in cops getting shot just for being cops

So what; i'm shocked it has taken this long for the people to fight back. They are being killed, bullied, extorted, imprisoned and oppressed, a little Nat Turner spirit might be just what is needed. But knowledge of our countries history leaves little room for hope; the rebels will be rounded up and given the harshest punishment for their decent and put on display for any who would think to resist the hand of the oppressor.

What sickens me about this is how many times in the last hour i have heard on the news about these two brave men who put their lives on the line for the people being shot FOR NO REASON by some thug. If the news reported on cops murdering people like they do with these two non life threatening injuries the world would be a better place.

One question. Why do the residents of Ferguson continually call the police if they are so terrible? I'm not an advocate for what the modern police force has morphed into, but you have to be completely deluded to think that the police are 100% responsible for the epidemic found in these communities.

This solves nothing but unfortunately it was probably inevitable. Violence generally only leads to more violence so the whole idea of arming a bunch of psychopaths and turning them loose on the population with immunity for just about any action (and I for one believe that the Ferguson shooting was probably more justified than most) is eventually going to lead to some sort of blow back. It would have been nice to have some sort of peaceful revolution, but how often do those happen?

I noticed that too. Two shots/two hits at 125 yds. takes some practice. It's possible that the cops were clumped and therefore a lucky shot. But, gangbangers don't spend much time on a 125 yd. pistol range.

I would go even further to say that the people of the community are the problem, just as we are the problem in our own cities with our police forces. We don't stand up, we allow them power and we as a people are willfully ignorant to what happens behind closed doors. They have done no worse then we have, they just had a wolf that had a bigger appetite and was allowed to commit more acts of violence unchecked.

One shot was a head shot and the other damn near a head shot too (a top of the shoulder hit), i range trip often and with a hand gun at 125 yards i would be hard pressed to make such a hit, hell i'd be happy to hit a man sized target at that range. I could hit a man at 50 yards easy, but that is only after practice, to make these two shots bullet drop was accounted for and i don't think banger black ops school teaches that.

I agree. It would only be necessary to get the shots into the goon gathering and there would be likely hits. Who's to say they both weren't hit by the same round? When I viewed the video I was sure I heard 3 shots but then who knows if the goons got a shot off. I'm surprised they didn't start shooting into the crowd and kill a dozen protesters. Maybe the Chief made them leave their ammo home so they wouldn't "accidentally" shoot a couple of protesters and start an even bigger riot...

I doubt it was one of the local protesters.. or a member of the local (largely disarmed) community..

I have no doubt it will be blamed on such,, and they will provide some suitable patsy to the complicit press.

President Obama on Thursday evening called for the arrest of the “criminals” who shot two officers in Ferguson during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live in Los Angeles.
“There’s no excuse for criminal acts. Whoever fired those shots shouldn’t detract from the issue. They’re criminals,” Obama said.

This is true.. Perhaps the provocateur meant to fire the .380 over their heads.. and didn't account for bullet drop.

From the "news" I heard.. it was a very low powered weapon.

Not really. I am a just ok hobby shooter and 2/4 hs would be very doable for at least two of my rifles if i took 5 sec per shot. An Expert would easily be 4 for 4 in say 7 seconds first to last. Of course in a case of murder with malice no one is gonna leave the brass. My Guess- A pro-shooter but told to deliberately not flaunt the skills an the brass is planted to eventually implicate a patsy.

There was no rifle used.

There were a couple quick shots.(heard on video). and two cops hit by low powered bullets. neither was life threatening.
Minimal bullet penetration.

This is what leads me to think it was a provocateur.. (one that didn't account for bullet drop) firing a couple shots over their heads with a low powered weapon.

Both bullets were traveling at a downward angle..and with minimal penetration. (stopped in soft tissue on one)..

Now.. a .380, 9mm and .357 are all the same caliber. but the power varies greatly. and at the range if 125 yards bullet drop would be about 2 feet or more.

do the math.

This is a ballistic chart for a carbine.

CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) — A 20-year-old man charged Sunday with shooting two police officers watching over a demonstration outside the Ferguson Police Department had attended a protest there earlier that night but told investigators he wasn't targeting the officers, authorities said.

St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch said suspect Jeffrey Williams told authorities he was firing at someone with whom he was in a dispute.

"We're not sure we completely buy that part of it," McCulloch said, adding that there might have been other people in a vehicle Williams is accused of firing from.

Williams is charged with two counts of first-degree assault, one count of firing a weapon from a vehicle and three counts of armed criminal action. McCulloch said the investigation is ongoing.

Wait, you do have to say, there were cops all over the place, he couldn't have been that dumb to shoot at some other dumbass with cops standing right there..... maybe he was trying to be cool and shoot over their heads.

You guys were supposedly right, arrest made, Jeffrey Williams said he was shooting at someone else, I'd usually say, yeah right, but the statistics do correlate.

Driving down the street shooting at people is one dumb way, but shooting at people in front of a police station with cops standing all around and in a neighborhood with worldwide attention? :D

This racial news story was suddenly made "un-sexy" couple of days ago in media and no longer worthy of being a top headline on Google. At least for now, other things are important for nation to focus their minds on.

Something strange going on. First race stories about Ferguson had suddenly disappeared from media headlines after this shooting.

Now media outlets seem to be turning on one another:



NY Times Hid Quote Noting Cop Shooting Suspect as Ferguson Protester (Then Stuck It Back In)

By Melissa Mullins | March 21, 2015 | 4:44 PM EDT

On Monday, The New York Times ran an online story about Jeffrey Williams, the 20 year old Ferguson resident suspected of shooting two Ferguson officers, in which they first reported that Williams was in fact protesting during the night of the shooting incident. Tuesday morning, the same URL that the online story appeared no longer had that little (but very crucial) piece of information that confirmed Williams was one of the Ferguson protestors. (This important detail has since been returned.)
As Breitbart’s John Nolte (http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2015/03/17/ny-times-explains-removal-of-shooting-suspects-role-in-ferguson-protests/) explained, the original New York Times report informed readers of Williams’ role in the Ferguson protests:

“After Michael Brown, he was out there protesting,” an uncle, Mark Mooney, 35, said, referring to the black teenager who was shot and killed by a white Ferguson officer in August. “He had his shirt on. He had his signs up. After that, when things died down, he died down with it.”
Relatives and friends of Mr. Williams said he had taken part in demonstrations but said he was not a protest leader or organizer.


Breitbart News was tipped off by a blog that detailed the original reporting and undocumented edit. When Breitbart reached out to The New York Times, they responded with this assertion:
This story was originally posted yesterday with Mr. Williams court appearance and family quotes. It didn’t make the first print edition of the paper, but late at night, after his lawyer started giving interviews, an edited story (edited because of limited space) was inserted on deadline. That is the version you saw this morning. The quotes have since been added back into the online version of the story, fyi.
