Reports are beginning to surface that law enforcement is proactively arresting high profile provocateurs in/around Ferguson protests. The DOJ/CRS must be elevating their concerns of losing control because the feds would not permit local police to do this without prior approvals/instructions.

SAINT LOUIS – Local police continue to search today for a suspect who wounded a Ferguson police officer Saturday night, but now authorities say the incident involved only one person and that it appears no burglary took place.
Police also confirmed today that the wounded officer had a body camera, but that it was turned off during the incident.
St. Louis County Police Sgt. Brian Schellman, a police spokesman, said he did not know why the camera was off.
Police originally reported late Saturday night that the officer spotted two suspects trying to break into a business and that when confronted, one of them pulled a gun and fired at the office, wounding him in the arm. (more…)
