A lot of people have been complaining about their phones, or internet not working in Ferguson MO.For those who reside in the Bay Area, this is something we have seen before. The Bart Police shut down their cell towers back in the summer of 2011 to disrupt a demonstration they though was going to occur.
This is what it sounds like when a phone begins to malfunction in Ferguson MO.

Yeah, I remember when the Oscar Grant verdict came down and OPD / FBI blocked the Facebook page so no one could know the decision. It took some oldskool phone tree work to communicate with each other for the march.
When I tell that story to people they are astonished. We forget that there is nothing free or democratic about our communication. It is controlled and censored by corporations working with police, as they see fit.
