Two Officers Shot Overnight At Ferguson, Missouri

March 12, 2015 (FERGUSON, MISSOURI) Two officers, since released from the hospital, were shot overnight in Ferguson, Missouri, in what was mostly a peaceful demonstration. One might even call it a celebration. During the stream that we were able to watch, there was mostly celebration and the usual chants including, “who’s streets, our streets.” This came near the end.

Attorney General Eric Holder released a statement where he said: ”

This heinous assault on two brave law enforcement officers was inexcusable and repugnant. I condemn violence against any public safety officials in the strongest terms, and the Department of Justice will never accept any threats or violence directed at those who serve and protect our communities—from this cowardly action, to the killing of an officer in Philadelphia last week while he was buying a game for his son, to the tragic loss of a Deputy U.S. Marshal in the line of duty in Louisiana earlier this week. Such senseless acts of violence threaten the very reforms that nonviolent protesters in Ferguson and around the country have been working towards for the past several months. We wish these injured officers a full and speedy recovery. We stand ready to offer any possible aid to an investigation into this incident, including the department’s full range of investigative resources. And we will continue to stand unequivocally against all acts of violence against cops whenever and wherever they occur.”

The following is a tweet from the President.

Violence against police is unacceptable. Our prayers are with the officers in MO. Path to justice is one all of us must travel together. –bo

Now we have SWAT units on the scene. People have been taken into custody.
