WATCH YOUR BACKS, YOU ARE THE TARGETS NOW. A FLORIDA DEPUTY WAS JUST AMBUSHED ALSO.
Reuters) - Two men suspected of buying explosives they planned to detonate during protests in Ferguson, Missouri, once a grand jury decides the Michael Brown case, were arrested on Friday and charged with federal firearms offenses, a law enforcement official told Reuters.
Word of the arrests, reported by a number of media outlets Friday, came ahead of the grand jury's widely anticipated decision on whether the white police officer who fatally shot Brown, an unarmed black teenager, should be indicted on criminal charges.
The Aug. 9 slaying of 18-year-old Brown under disputed circumstances became a flashpoint for U.S. racial tensions, triggering weeks of sometimes violent protests in the St. Louis suburb by demonstrators calling for officer Darren Wilson's arrest.
He was instead placed on administrative leave, and Ferguson has been bracing for a new wave of protests, especially if the grand jury chooses not to indict Wilson. An announcement was believed to be imminent.
Against this backdrop of heightened tensions, according to a law enforcement source, two men described as reputed members of a militant group called the New Black Panther Party, were arrested in the St. Louis area in an FBI sting operation.
As initially reported by CBS News, the men were suspected of acquiring explosives for pipe bombs that they planned to set off during protests in Ferguson, according to the official, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to publicly discuss the case.
The official said the two men are the same pair named in a newly unsealed federal indictment returned on Nov. 19 charging Brandon Orlando Baldwin and Olajuwon Davis with purchasing two pistols from a firearms dealer under false pretenses.
Both men were arraigned on Friday in federal court, the law enforcement source said.
The FBI and other federal agencies were reported to have stepped up their presence in the St. Louis area in recent days in anticipation of renewed protests after the grand jury's decision in the Brown case is made known.
An FBI official in St. Louis declined to comment except to say that the two men named in the indictment had been arrested. Officials from the U.S. Attorney's Office for eastern Missouri were not immediately available for comment.

Attorney General Holder just sent 100 ADDITIONAL FBI agents to Ferguson. Hundreds of federal Homeland Security personnel fill the local hotels.
Do you think they are all there to assist local cops put down unrest? I will answer myself. They are there to stick one up the kazoo of any local cop who so much as farts out of line.
Things will not change until a unbiased and just DOJ once again exists. Until then, look forward to the same treatment for any cop who uses DFP against a "protected" person. Don't think this can't happen to you.

I'd like to believe a grand jury will not charge but I've seen it happen to many times. "YOU CAN INDITE A HAM SANDWICH" |

I too believe the state GJ will not indict if all that we have seen is true and I have no doubt it is.
HOWEVER, remember the Rodney King Incident with Sgt Stacey Koon, PO Timothy Powell, etc.
The ensuing riots after this decision not to indict will cause the same federal reaction as then.
I believe the feds under the current administration will have a second crack at PO Wilson for "civil rights" violations.
God only knows if he will be indicted there.
Double Jeopardy does not apply to cops.
Koon and Powell were sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.
At the very least, the Fergison PD will be picked apart by the FBI and what remains will be under federal scrutiny for years.
The truly sad part is only the residents, who really need the police, will suffer
