There is constant threatening and taunting when the crowds get near the cops. The "boy" was 6ft4" and 300 lbs. Others are saying he "bum rushed the cop".

Violence related incidents are relevant, especially if they were going on the same day but this reached the point where the cop either needs to leave the country or they suspend him and throw this at a jury with a trial for first degree manslaughter. If he tells a convincing tear jerk story from the witness stand, with lots of examples of how he helped rescue some poor little old black lady's cat from trees, carried little brown children across the Rio grande himself, gave other children rids home from school during blizzards and hurricanes, has a black auntie who raised him as a kid.... then he walks.

Either way, the lawyer is going to have to convince more than just a judge or prosecutor in a back room. It's public, might as well live with that. You can't have that guy back on patrol on their streets. Even here in Oregon, after a questionable shoot, they suspend the guy for a little while then hire him in a different town. Over there in Missouri, they are just being too much in the communities face about it.

This is going to escalate to an evacuation order. I can smell it.

They will do that mass automated call announcing the evacuation ahead of time along with an after dark curfew. Cordons will be set up with hard core checkpoints. Visibly, letting people through, but they will announce the checkpoint closure times, and when the checkpoints close, you can leave but not enter. Those leaving get searched. Some may be allowed to re-enter, like to remove the elderly or disabled once their identity is fully verified and their intentions are vouched for.

The checkpoints will be pourous at first, then the noose tightens. What they are after is of course the "foreign fighters". A few days later, the evacuation order will go through, probably to coincide with the arrival of the National Guard. National guard will take over checkpoints and refugee centers which are for people who got evacuated, and those will be fairly well equipped but will also have riot police on standby and run like a low security prison.

Then teams will swarm into the neighborhoods door to door, enforcing the evacuation, confiscating any weapons they find, and at night, those turn in to death squads, mainly looking to mix it up with the "foreign fighters".

Then cleanup groups move in. Placing or displacing evidence, maybe a month after clearing operations, people will then be allowed back in gradually.

This is going to be like Katrina in a lot of ways, except entirely a man made disaster. They have been planning for this a long time, just looking for an event and location to test it out. I think Ferguson Missouri will be that location and the time is this month and well into October.
