It is quiet in Ferguson because everyone else is in jail.

...In the first lawsuit, (click here) the ACLU of Missouri urged the St. Louis County Police Department to release a copy of the incident report for Brown’s shooting under the Missouri Sunshine Law.
The longer this goes on in Missouri and the more revealed about this county and local authority the scary the reality of the citizens of Ferguson. This isn't just a grievance with police, this is a grievance against the law and the minority Caucasian government and administration. This city and country is becoming extremely worrisome. There needs to be an investigation beyond Michael Brown, Jr. but also into the deaths of African Americans in the past.
The mere existence of the law to suppress activities of Ferguson police officers is not only corrupt, but, unconstitutional and PROVES a hostile government.
Yes, this is a picture of the Ferguson police in riot gear moving down West Florissant.
The realization these governments invoked laws to empower police to suppress freedom of speech including deadly force is still yet another reason to investigate the history of tensions between the community and police. There is more here than meets the eye. The Ferguson chief of police and the county prosecutor need to resign from their positions. There is growing conflict of interest.
How many cities in the USA have this type of law of oppression? Because what I found really unusual in Albuquerque is the complacency of the local media in reporting the 24 or more deaths of innocent and unarmed people. The Albuquerque media always took the position the police were acting within the law regardless of the horrific deaths occurring.
If local or national media or otherwise experience oppression enforced by law and there are deaths or wrongful acts being carried out with impunity by government against citizens, the media's complicity comes into question. As a matter of fact any oppression by government of the media and there is media compliance is complicity to misdirect information to the public.

...In the first lawsuit, (click here) the ACLU of Missouri urged the St. Louis County Police Department to release a copy of the incident report for Brown’s shooting under the Missouri Sunshine Law.
The law, according to the Missouri Attorney General’s Office, aims to represent the “embodiment of Missouri’s commitment to openness in government.”
Under the law, matters of public record are considered, with few exceptions, to be transparent and open to the public.
The ACLU said that its request for the incident report “is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operation or activities” of the St. Louis County Police Department....
This second lawsuit begins to reveal the suppression of evidence and the facts surrounding the brandishing of assault weapons by the police. The officer from another city that pointed the gun at the press/protesters seems to have been informed there was to be no recording of the police. He may have been acting on a specific local law and within his assigned authority. This aspect of the reality of the protests in Ferguson is especially of concern. If the national media hadn't been focused on the protesters, their message and their right to march there might have been a real blood bath.

...The suit asks a judge to end the police policy of “demanding and ordering members of the media and public to stop recording the police acting in their official duty on public streets and sidewalks” and declare such a policy a violation of constitutional rights.
That lawsuit names the city of Ferguson, St. Louis County and the Missouri State Highway Patrol as defendants....
