I love this quote from St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar :

Quote
We’ve done everything we can to demonstrate a remarkable amount of restraint. If there was an easy way to fix this, we would have already solved the problem.
One of the people they arrested last night was Antonio French , a St. Louis alderman who had been reporting on the protest.

The Missouri governor, Jay Nixon, released a statement "urging" police to respect the rights of the citizens of Ferguson. Um, how about ordering the police to do that?

Onward and upward,
