Come on. A city that's 70% black whose police force has only one black man as part of it. No blacks on the school board. In fact, zero to very few blacks at any level of government.
Imagine that farmers of Missouri became angry that their farm subsidies were suddenly cut and decided to protest. Is this how the police would treat them?
Considering the fact that the Feds (the RW's favorite boogie man) didn't even react that way on the Bundy ranch when confronted with men who were armed and were even set up on bridges as snipers, I would have to say no.
They would have if one person had fired a shot at law enforcement. Police were being shot at in Ferguson. People were being threatened, looting was going on and buildings were burned down. The mob in Ferguson wasn't willing to talk and they weren't just making threats. They were an angry mob out of control and they were trying to do as much damage as possible.
Why it is that the left gets angrier at people for having guns and believing in rights than they do when criminals actually use their guns to kill innocent people?
When the rioting, looting, assaults and destruction happen, the left is quick to say they are just reacting to some injustice. When a home owner reacts to a home invasion by shooting some punk, the left is disgusted. The looting and arson began before details were even out about the shooting. It was not an appropriate response and it's not justified. When a home owner awakes to find some thug has broken into their home, they can't afford to wait and find how why or how he got there or they could lose their life. Yet, the left shows no sympathy for people who rightfully defended their families. You guys blame police for taking extreme measures to handle extreme violence.
No one wants a police state, but that seems to be what we are getting and you can blame your precious CIC for escalating the police departments ability to use such force. I was disgusted when EPA sent armed agents to confiscate a ******* SUV because they thought it didn't meet standards. And we all remember WACO?
Yes, they have overdone it before and will again. Some cases don't require that kind of brute force. Violent criminals taking to the streets to literally burn the neighborhood down is a case where more force is called for. I haven't watched video of the confrontations the last few days, but it sure would have helped if the mobs hadn't gone crazy and caused the problem in the first place.
Why are some people so against waiting for facts and protesting in a more peaceful manner? Do they think they will get their message across by terrorizing the town? Are they that ******* stupid or do they just enjoy that shit and use controversial incidents as an excuse to steal and light stuff on fire?
I was alarmed at the number of tweets calling for the mob to start directing their anger and destruction on white people. They objected to people burning their own neighborhoods down, but were okay with attacking other (white) people. WTF?
The DOJ advised Ferguson police not to release the video of the robbery committed by Brown. They claimed it would fuel the fire. I don't buy that. If anything, it threw a few buckets of water on the fire since people realized the guy wasn't some innocent little child. It's clear there is more to the story and if those dirtbags had even a modicum of intelligence, they would wait for all the facts and then carry on with peaceful protests like decent human beings if the cop is wrong. But, hey, why pass up an opportunity to snag some new clothes or whatever else they stole from the stores they vandalized.
Thank you for making yourself quite clear. As a good friend of mine on another board said....we sure do appreciate when you make yourselves easy to spot.
