Mostly Peaceful Protesters Shoot Two Police Officers, One in the Shoulder, One Peacefully in the Face

In Ferguson.

I'm thinking we just wall this area off and let them "police themselves."

Number of questions Obama and Hillary Clinton will face about this incident: Zero

See, this incident is embarrassing to them and a wedge issue, splitting, as it does, their radical base from the liberal moderates they still need, so the media will make sure it never becomes a difficult issue for them.

Two police officers in Ferguson, Missouri, were shot and wounded in what officials called an ambush early on Thursday, the latest spasm of violence arising from months of tension between African-Americans and the city's mostly white police force.

The officers were treated and released from hospital, St Louis County Police said. Police Chief Jon Belmar earlier said a manhunt was under way for a suspect or suspects.

A 41-year-old officer from the St. Louis County Police was struck in the shoulder and a 32-year-old officer from the nearby Webster Groves Police Department had a bullet lodged near his ear after it passed through his cheek, Belmar said.

"This is really an ambush, is what it is," Belmar said. "You can't see it coming. You don't understand that it's going to happen."

The left is having spasms that people on the right are suggesting that these shootings just might be the result of a viciously false narrative peddled by the radical left, the President, and their fellow travelers in the media.

In every other shooting, the left goes looking for the toxic politics that animated the shooting, and tries to connect it with a politician's words; here, they're aghast that anyone would be so gauche to do that.
