Once again, let's try and keep anything related to the ongoing situation in Ferguson in this thread. I've merged three other threads into this one.

As well, if you're just going to throw in your political two cents, then please start a new thread in the Tavern. Let's keep this thread clean of politics so people looking for information on monitoring the situation can find it easily.

Thanks.

This may have been talked about already, but listening to the interview with the officer, he stated that during the struggle, his radio changed from Ch1 to Ch 3 and his call for help was not heard by anyone. What is Ch 3? so no one monitors that channel?

interesting observation

RR has no channel 3 listing. We have 4 frequencies and they seem that they would all be manned, particularly in the daytime.Possibly the public works channel, thaT we say is cancelled. It possibly the license lapsed but the radios were not retuned.

CNN said ATF is investigating the fire at the Brown's church as possible arson? The whole town, every fire was arson. They seem to think the church was specifically targeted because it's in a block where no other fires occurred. Do we have any scanner people that Live in or near Ferguson? How many patrol cars are normally on the street? The website for the PD is very vague. The Fire Dept only has 2 stations and 4 trucks. I'm glad the cold/snow deterred most of the rioting last night. It it looks like most of them went to the mall and combined that with some sort of Black Friday stuff.

Black Friday has turned out to be another crazy day. The last couple of days have been fairly mild but today's activities were ramped up by protesters. They have concentrated their attempts to shut down Hwy's (mostly unsuccessful) and protesting at the 5 local major malls. Two mall's were at least temporarily shut up on lock down causing much financial loss for merchants. Protestors are reaching out their efforts and marching all around the area.

W. Florissant Rd. is still shut down. Roadblocks still up all around Ferguson. No one but resident are supposed to be allowed in after 18:00. Doesn't really sound as if it's working... Too many back doors to sneak into.

Listening to roving patrol (squads) and the Command Center activity on RIOT A.

Just heard a call for (10) shots fired on Frost Ave.

It b cray cray up in here!

It's more like domestic terrorism. I'd imagine the guard will be there for while. They using therr own radios or utilizing locals? I know the federal government and military can use any frequency they desire specially in tomes of aide or military operations. I once asked about that when my one relative was national guard he said they were doing that during Katrina operations. Mostly using Ericson portables using Mobile repeaters.

Truck was seen with a red dodge charger with tinted window following it, occupied unknown times. Correction, white pickup at Wesley and S. Florissant, one subject on roof of building with rifle. 110 S. Florissant, 205 is with subject on roof, reporting that man on roof is with the OathKeeper Group.

Be on alert, red charger wanted for shots fired. Ferguson Pd, blue escort occupied two times, wanted for flourishing a handgun at EMS, it then sped off. Last seen eastbound on I-270. Air 2 refueling at Spirit Airport will be enroute in 5 mins.

New Halls Ferry and Chambers, 7 shots fired at Apartment Complex. Security guard was on duty but he has now left the premises.

Are they using any Troop C TG's that are statewide?

I am getting a pretty good feed on this url:
St. Louis County Police Scanner on USTREAM: This is an audio stream of the St. Louis County Police scanners. Ferguson PD RIOT-A RIOT-B RIOT-C RIOT-D RIOT-E...
Ferguson PD
RIOT-A
RIOT-B
RIOT-C
RIOT-D
RIOT-E
County Precincts 1 and 2
County Mutual Aid
State Patrol State-wide Point to Point
State Patrol SERT Repeater
State Patrol Mobile…

I'm still kind of rank at this stuff. I have some decent programing on my Pro-164 but the feed has a couple of channels I either cant find (like county Mutual Aid) or can't seem to get to work.

There is lots of traffic on channels I can't seem to get to work, just static, but it locks in my scanner on it.
I assume it's either digital or encrypted but I don't know. It may be some other unknown PL code but code search isn't working either for me.

Not having much luck with the talkgroups either.

Wish I was a better programmer on this thing. I've only had it about 2 months and my subscription only active about a month (glitch in the computer).

I know there is more out there I'm not getting but this is kind of a programming "trial by fire" for me.
( PM me if you have any suggestions for better performance, so we don't redirect this thread.)

Also using my old BC176XLT (for quick channel searches), a Pro-51, and the Pro-164, along with the feed, and a Tascam DR-40 recorder, ..

Pretty sad when they have to harass ems and fire. This whole thing is getting old. It's nothing but people out to make havoc over the supposed "justice" when regardless facts shown it was justified. Simple minds these days in our world.

Units 5A and B to escort EMS to {address} in Ferguson.

Man this is beginning to sound like Detroit here.

So there randomly firing at any ems they run across within the city? Now I'm sorry but they deserve law enf to shoot. Those fema camps come to mind for use now. It's amazing what welfare and free living off gov assistance produces these days. People like above shooting at ems.

Not sure they are actually shooting at EMS. I have not heard a report of them "hitting" EMS or LEO's.
I think the majority of it is shooting in the air to cause fear and panic.

They are however using this excuse to shoot each other, usually drive by style. Female shot in the face two nights ago, shots fired from a "large black SUV with large rims. Three nights ago two cars chasing each other, eastbound I-270, shooting at each other. (Gang-style criminals)

The fires on the first night were all allowed to burn because the area could not be secured for the FD's to respond. Even the second night I heard another fire burning and the call was "Fire Dept will NOT be responding."

The people of Ferguson are peaceful (for the vast majority) and are not "burning down where they live." It is a major criminal element coming in from all corners using this as an excuse to come in and be the criminals they are.

I've heard of people arrested from other areas of St. Louis, Oklahoma, Cali, Oregon,Texas, New York, and (this one blew my mind) one cat arrested came all the way from GERMANY to stir up someone else's litterbox..

I grew up in the Black Panther riots of '1967 - '1968, too young to remember much but I remember it.

Never thought the Ferguson thing would go this far, never really thought I would see it again. But what do I know...

Makes me wonder just how far 'out of town' some of these folks are really from. Like maybe 7,000 miles to the east?

Naw, couldn't be. I just read too much Tom Clancy.
