Could the 2 Police Officers shot during Ferguson Missouri Protests be the Work of Residents, Insurgents or Instigators?
This
story raised my conspiracy hackles when I read it, considering the recent
resignations, firings and removals of key personnel after the release of the
DOJ investigation. It truly appears
strange that no officer were shot, no lethal force was ever visited upon
officers in this manner until the resignation of Ferguson’s Police Chief Tom
Jackson. The article is titled “2 Police Officers Shot During Ferguson,
Missouri, Protests” posted by ABC News via Good Morning America. In it we learn “Two police officers were shot
during overnight protests in Ferguson, Missouri, the St. Louis County Police
Department said. A St. Louis County
officer, 41, was struck in the shoulder; while a Webster Groves police officer,
32, was struck in the face, said county police Chief John Belmar, who spoke to
media members outside of Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. “These police officers were standing there,
and they were shot just because they were police officers,” Belmar said. The officers are listed in serious condition,
police said. “We have seen in law
enforcement that this is a very, very, very dangerous environment for the officers
to work in regarding the amount of gunfire that we have experienced up there,”
Belmar said.” Funny as to us not hearing
much about the “amount of gunfire experienced by police in Ferguson until this
reporting here. I find all this quite curious.
Contrary
to what many may believe, life travels in patterns which are only altered with
actions which may be different than the originals whether slight or not. Since the shooting of Michael Brown, there have
not been many, if any, reports of citizens firing upon officers and especially
police officers not of Ferguson Missouri.
The damages, which may have been provoked by some residents, were mostly
perpetrated by insurgents, outsiders and instigators who traveled there just to
cause problems. This has been the
pattern but this story breaks that pattern and creates a whole new set of
circumstances for the residents and citizens of Ferguson and the entire St
Louis County. I can’t see this being
done by a resident because they would then make life for them and their
neighbors much harder to get back to normal but someone who may not live in
that area will figure that they have nothing to lose and might even gain from
the unrest remaining volatile. Just a
thought, I could be wrong.
