Preparing for a major conflict in Ferguson

The official release of the St Louis County Grand Jury decision regarding Ferguson Police Department (MO) Officer Darren Wilson has not occurred, but is expected to manifest itself some time this week.

In the meantime, protesters can’t wait to cork off — and they’ve had no qualms about saying precisely that.  The New Black Panthers are in Ferguson, advocating violence against police.

On the other hand, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon has activated his national guard on Monday.

Federal Protective Service (FPS) Trucks in FergusonNavy Vet Fired After Posting Photos Of DHS Trucks In Hotel Garage

Mark Paffrath noticed something strange in the parking garage of the hotel he worked at. There were numerous vehicles from The Department of Homeland Security sitting there. Paffrath took a couple of photos and posted them to his Facebook page.

Those posts landed him in hot water with Drury Plaza Hotel management. According to Argus News Now, the Navy veteran was called into a meeting and told to delete the posts. He complied, but unfortunately that did not satisfy his bosses. He was fired a couple of days later. After being let go, he re-posted the images to his Facebook page.

What were dozens of DHS vehicles doing parked in a garage Chesterfield, MO? Chesterfield is about 25 miles from Ferguson, where officials are planning for potential riots pending the decision of a grand jury about whether to charge officer Darren Williams in the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown.

The Federal Protective Service is an agency formerly under General Services (now under Homeland Security) which is tasked with the external and sometimes internal security of federal buildings around the nation.  In short, the vehicles were being staged for Ferguson.

One question, however: just what is the federal government’s role in the riots that are sure to come in and around Ferguson?

  1. Read that the GJ in Ferguson meets on Thursdays. So maybe a decision then. Question is are the feds in place to gin up the riots so martial law can be declared or will they protect the good citizens in that area when the big chimp out occurs. Seeing as how the various federal agencies report to Holder and Jug Ears, I don’t look for good things coming from these people. Glad to see the law abiding citizens in the area had enough sense to arm up. Law enforcement sure as heck won’t be of any use when the feces hits the fan. When the shooting starts take out the white rioters first as they are the commies and the muzzies.

    • That’s my question. In the history of various riots around the nation, the feds step in at last resort. And the FPS is not looked upon as the tippy-top of the federal LE food chain. Is Homeland Security willing to somehow sacrifice FPS vehicles in Ferguson? And to what end, and why? This creates more questions than it answers. Why the staging? Who will staff these vehicles and where are they?

      You can be sure that Ferguson PD is beaten down. They’ll let the town burn rather than risk branding as racist or, worse, being the subject of individual personal suits for involvement.

      People get the kind of LE they deserve. I suspect that’s about to come to a head very shortly.

  2. It might be kind of fun to “secure” the parking garage entrances don’t you think???
    Yup, there’s a little devil in all of us.
