Well, what do you know? The police apparently just noticed that everyone else was paying attention. As if they did not know that these guys were skulking around on the roofs of the city.

Police ordered Oath Keepers volunteers to suspend their armed patrols against vandals and looters in Ferguson.
Members of the national organization converged on the St. Louis suburb last week when rioting broke out after a grand jury declined to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of an unarmed black teen.
The Oath Keepers are made up of law enforcement officers, current and former military personnel, and first responders who have vowed not to enforce gun laws and others they deem to be unconstitutional.
Their local organizer, Sam Andrews, told reporters last week the armed Oath Keeper patrols were prepared to use lethal force to protect private property and the rights of peaceful protesters.

"Arms up" black football players, bad. Armed white snipers in public, good?

...armed white snipers on rooftops.
Personally, I'd worry about being shot if I were an armed sniper.
But hey, they seem to have gotten away with it unscathed.

St. Louis police want black football players punished, white snipers get a scolding.
Racism is alive and well in America tonight.
