$40 million lawsuit slams Ferguson police actions during recent protests
2014-08-30
(Kommunis Nuus Netwerk) -- In a $40 million federal lawsuit, five people arrested recently in Ferguson, Missouri, accuse police of using "wanton and excessive force" and treating U.S. citizens "as if they were war combatants."
Small Arms Fire (SAF) and Molotov Cocktails... are they not weapons of war ?
A complaint filed Thursday alleges that police officers from Ferguson and St. Louis County used unnecessary force and made unjustified arrests as they cracked down on protests after the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown earlier this month.

The lawsuit lists Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar, Ferguson officer Justin Cosma, several unnamed officers and the city and county governments as defendants.

A St. Louis County police spokesman declined to comment Friday, referring inquiries to the county prosecuting attorney's office. The St. Louis County prosecuting attorney's office told CNN it has no comment on the lawsuit.
Two of the Ferguson police officers have now been fired and Chief Belmar will likely lose his job as well. Lawfare has begun and thanks to the AG and the MSM, the message to Law Enforcement across the nation is clear and present.
