Police say their helicopter was shot at multiple times Sunday Ferguson St. Louis Missouri Police Shooting Riots Protests MORE The Long, Tangled Roots of the Michael Brown Shooting Obama Calls Michael Brown Death ‘Heartbreaking’ The Federal Aviation Administration issued a no-fly zone over Ferguson, Missouri, Tuesday at the request of the St. Louis County Police Department. The St. Louis County Police Department told TIME it asked the FAA for the flight restriction after a police helicopter was fired upon “multiple times” during civil unrest Sunday. Ferguson, located just outside St. Louis, Missouri, erupted in street violence amid demonstrations sparked by the death of Michael Brown, a black teenager who was shot and killed by police on Saturday. The FAA order restricts flights over the Ferguson area below 3,000 feet to first responders only, including medical and police helicopters. Private aircraft, including news helicopters, are prohibited from flying below 3,000 feet in a 3- mile radius around the town. The rule doesn’t apply to aircraft landing at or taking off from the nearby Lambert–St. Louis International Airport, a major commercial hub. The restriction is in place through August 18. The order says the flight restrictions were put in place “to provide a safe environment for law enforcement activities.” The FAA would not elaborate further on the reason for the St. Louis County Police Department’s request. “If you want it, file a FOIA,” FAA Spokesperson Elizabeth Cory told TIME, in reference to a Freedom of Information Act request. It’s not unusual for local police departments to request flight restrictions over potentially dangerous zones, and it’s typically done to clear airspace for police helicopter operations. The Ferguson restriction, however, may make it more difficult for news media to get aerial footage of the town as the Brown story continues to develop. “If we feel that order is restored we can request ran early termination,” St. Louis County police spokesperson Bryan Schellman told TIME.

Private aircraft, including news helicopters, are prohibited from flying below 3,000 feet in a 3- mile radius around the town. “to provide a safe environment for law enforcement activities.” lately it seems a safe environment and law enforcement activities should not be used in the same sentence.
One would have to be insane to think the angry mobs in Ferguson are capable of downing a plane or a helicopter. This is about a sihtload of drones these bastards have unleashed on the citizens. Welcome to the wonderful world of military/police occupation.
That is the truth! I imagine all hell will really break loose now that it was announced the policeman in question was white.
Bingo, and the drones, you betya, this is a drill They tried with the travon martian case to start a race war, it never had a chance. This one has possibilities. Yes there are those who could care less about the shooting they just want to get free stuff because there criminals anyway. But people need to understand this isn't a black or white thing, something the media fails to mention. Its about the way "law enforcement" has been killing people And it doesn't matter what color you are. Any contact with "law enforcement" means you have a great chance of being punched, kicked, tazered, or even shot for no reason at all
The natives are restless.....napalm would put them at ease.

The police have become radicalized, they are being trained to see us all as a threat. I do find it curious how they waited to release the information regarding the race of the officer. They are indeed stirring the pot.

seen this Sharpton was heckled by Progressives Today reporter Adam Sharp on his informant past with the FBI. Adam Sharp: Sir, the term “Snitches Get Snitches” was spray painted on the burned out QuikTrip. Since you are a federal snitch, sir, do you fear for your life? Al Sharpton: I’m not a snitch. http://www.progressivestoday.com...er-snitches-get-stitches/ Sharp: Are you here to snitch on the rioters?… Are you here to work with your FBI partners? Sharpton: (no response) lol these bastards have unleashed on the citizens.

Look at those moolies close ranks around Al "Not So Sharp"ton. Same blind racial loyalty shown to The Halfrican in the White House. I've always read that niggers don't air their dirty laundry in public for the White Man to see, this is proof of that axiom right here.
