Actress Tichina Arnold Documents Trip to Ferguson + New Details On Shot Officers Released
Two officers were shot outside the Ferguson, Missouri police headquarters early Thursday, authorities said, as demonstrators gathered following the resignation of the city’s embattled police chief in the wake of a scathing Justice Department report alleging bias in the police department and court. As of Thursday evening, additional information about the officers shot had been released. According to CBS News, a 32-year-old officer from nearby Webster Groves was shot in the face and a 41-year-old officer from St. Louis County was shot in the shoulder.
St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said at a news conference:
I don’t know who did the shooting, to be honest with you.
Police sources were calling the gunfire an “ambush” and said whoever fired the shots was at large.
Tensions have been high in Ferguson since August and escalated in November after a St. Louis County grand jury declined to prosecute Darren Wilson, the officer who shot Mike Brown.

Ok,so now “they” know what the people of Ferguson have been saying is true.So instead of humbling themselves they want us to focus on the shooting of these cops.Black lives still dont matter.What weve said for years has not been believed.Now they want to say its a conspiracy to kill cops.Anything to not deal with the issue at hand.The number of cops that may get shot will never equal the number of lives they have taken.This is just a smoke screen to take you away from the issues.”They”will always find a way not to deal with the real issues.
