It appears that a police officer has been shot in Ferguson.

There is no indication yet who shot the officer.

Early twitter 'reports' were that the officer was killed, but the news sources are now saying that the officer was shot in the arm.

Many twitter accounts indicate that police from all over are descending on the area.

Some are saying the suspect was shot, others say the suspect is on the loose.

Looking for a link from a respected news source, will update when available.

Today, the memorial for Mike Brown was burned. The police are claiming that it was an accident caused by candles. The people are saying they smelled some kind of accelerant at the scene. There are pictures of cops just watching the makeshift memorial burn.

Now, it appears all hell is breaking loose in Ferguson tonight. On twitter there are reports that shots have been fired (live ammo), but no confirmation yet on who is actually shooting.

It also appears the the cops have brought the dogs again.

But that is not all . . .

Antonio French ‏(@AntonioFrench), an Alderman of the @21stWard in St. Louis, has started a community organizing activity called healSTL (Turning a moment into a movement). They have rented a storefront location in Ferguson, and are focusing efforts on getting the local community registered to vote.

I assume that they will be working on other things, but it seems the initial focus is on getting the community active and involved in their own destiny.

They need some help, more below the doodle.

I have always liked the music in the song Blurred Lines, but had a hard time getting past the lyrics. Today I ran across a video that parodies the song, and has lyrics that anyone should be able to enjoy.

For those of you who have also had this problem, "Weird Al" Yankovic has come to our rescue. Please follow me below the fold for his video Word Crimes.
