I have no problem with them engaging the police and meeting them in the field of battle. If you have a legitimate quarrel with the police, let's see you muster a fighting force. I do have a problem with them looting though since it's not relevant to the core concern.

And the peaceful protests. You have a problem with those?

No. But police thrive on intimidation and fear. It's pretty useless if that is their goal.

Then what is your beef? The looting? Who is responsible for protecting their own property? Who is given the responsibility for shooting jay walkers?

Lady, you need to change this. Prepare accordingly.

Speaking of Bundy, have you guys seen the progs wondering why the Bundy people aren't in Ferguson? I've seen several posts on the Bundy Ranch FB page. They went from calling for armed drones to kill them all, to wanting them in Ferguson and accusing them of being racist for not being there. LOL

In fact, speaking of the fucking Bundy brigade, where the fuck are all the freedom fighters using their precious 2nd amendment rights to protect the citizenry from tyranny? They’ll show up armed to the teeth to protect some fucking cows and keep the darkies on their side of the border, but the government actually rolls up in armored vehicles to squash a legitimate protest and it’s fucking crickets from these clowns.

Ferguson: "War Zone Or US City?"... The Morning After
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-08-14/ferguson-latest-morning-after

Ferguson suffered its 5th night of unrest; as we feared during the day yesterday, when night fell in Ferguson, a combination of massive SWAT team presence and an increasingly disillusioned citizenry were a recipe for disaster. Over 70 heavily-armed police enforced quasi-martial-law in the troubled town, at least 10 people were arrested, tear gas and rubber bullets were unleashed, and 2 reporters were (briefly) arrested. Perhaps Rep. Justin Amash summed it up best, "Is this a war zone or a US city? Gov't escalates tensions w/military equipment & tactics."
[...]
As Michael Snyder asks - How is it possible that our once very peaceful nation has fallen apart so dramatically?

Let’s be honest – Ferguson, Missouri is under military occupation right now, and the entire world is watching in horror as militarized police fire tear gas and rubber bullets at unarmed protesters. Yes, the rioting and looting in Ferguson needed to be stopped. If order had not been restored, more stores and businesses would have been destroyed. However, there is no excuse for the brutal tactics now being employed. At one point, police snipers were even using laser scopes to target protesters that were obviously unarmed. Sadly, this is just a preview of what is coming to America in the years ahead. As the economy falls apart and people become even more angry and even more frustrated, there will be a lot more incidents of civil unrest like we have just witnessed in Ferguson. And in response, the federal government and our overly militarized police will seek to crush those uprisings with overwhelming force. ... when police get all of this equipment, it is inevitable that they are going to use it.
[...]
So what can we do about this?

How can we change the system?

How can we reverse this alarming militarization of our police?

Unfortunately, our system has become so corrupt that there is very little that we can do. In fact, one newly released study discovered that average Americans have a “near-zero” statistical impact on public policy…

This is America...

“We Tear-Gassed Some Folks" - Obama Makes Statement On Ferguson, Iraq
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-08-14/“we-tear-gassed-some-folks-obama-makes-statement-ferguson

While we are sure President Obama will comment on the apparent US intelligence failure that Chuck Hagel explained last night - there were far fewer 'refugees' on Mt.Sinjar than expected... but Iraq is still a troubled nation; we suspect the calmer-in-chief will address the situation in Ferguson. Having already disappointed many African American residents of Ferguson, who rejected his previous comments as "insultingly inadequate," it seems the President will take a few minutes out of his day to address the turmoil in middle America... 'we tear-gassed some folks...'

President Obama is due to speak at 1215ET - plan accordingly...

The clip shows Al-Jazeera journalists preparing to do a live camera shot of the scene in Ferguson before they are hit with a round of tear gas. The reporters run in the opposite direction. Subsequent photographs show militarized police officers seizing and dismantling their camera equipment as another officer points a sniper rifle at the fleeing reporters.

Shocking footage out of Ferguson, Missouri shows that police are deliberately targeting journalists as part of a military-style crackdown that has caused outrage, with even Newsweek acknowledging that U.S. law enforcement is now akin to an occupying army.

Newsweek will conclude that there are good police departments and bad police departments.

Back on topic.

The difference between the Law and the Constitution is that the Law restricts the actions individuals while the Constitution restricts the actions of those who create, interpret, and apply the Law. Without a Constitution, the Law will inevitably deprive the people of their Rights until all men, regardless of color of skin, are all of them enslaved to whomever controls the Law. Ferguson has become a Constitution Free Zone, and they wonder why people protest when the aforementioned consequences occur.

"We have the authority to shoot you, as well as the authority to shoot again when you protest the first shooting."

Now, why are we getting such a massive conflict of information? Cops say the kid went for his Gun while in the back of a police car, a witness said that the kid had his hands up and was walking backwards as instructed because his behavior was "compliant" (as said by the accordingly reputable witness), while the family says the kid was laying down on the ground face first and surrendering when he got shot. What REALLY happened? And what else really happened? Did the Cops LIE? Did the MSM stick up for the Cop and ignore other conflicting reports offering bias to the testimony of the Cop? Is the MSM interested at all in the TRUTH? Race probably does play its role here, however the responsibility of defending the Equal Rights of ALL Men is incumbent upon everyone. Edward Snowden has the support of the people despite what MSM says. Bundy Ranch had the support of the people, despite what MSM says. Michael Brown, the kid who got killed, has the support of the people despite what MSM says. Just because Michales Brown was black is a Low Hanging Fruit.

Michael Brown did NOT do this to himself.

Huffington Post, Washington Post Reporters Arrested, Assaulted By Ferguson Police

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/...uson-ryan-reilly-wesley-lowery_n_5676841.html

“I hope you’re happy with yourself,” one officer told me. And I responded: “This story’s going to get out there. It’s going to be on the front page of The Washington Post tomorrow.”

And he said, “Yeah, well, you’re going to be in my jail cell tonight.”

Multiple officers grabbed me. I tried to turn my back to them to assist them in arresting me. I dropped the things from my hands.

“My hands are behind my back,” I said. “I’m not resisting. I’m not resisting.” At which point one officer said: “You’re resisting. Stop resisting.”

That was when I was most afraid — more afraid than of the tear gas and rubber bullets.

Obama Speaks on Ferguson Events; Has Nothing to Say About Police Militarization
http://reason.com/blog/2014/08/14/obama-speaks-on-ferguson-events-has-noth

I thought about highlighting some comments from the four-minute speech, but it's just that shitty that I can't quote anything that you can't just make up in your own head. Calls for peace and calm? Check. Statement that feds are investigating? Check. Declaration that we all have "shared values" in the face of clear evidence otherwise? Check. Belief that we're all equal under the law as though that has ever been the case for law enforcement officers? Check. Here's an Associated Press story you can skim if you can't watch the video.

Completely absent: Any sort of reference to the militarization of the police, the very thing that has become a central, fundamental part of this narrative. It's the one component that is drawing the left and the right together. And yet, the issue of these police officers having absurd, unnecessary weapons and trucks is completely unmentioned. Contrast Obama's response to Sen. Rand Paul's criticism in Time that our police forces have become a military presence.

It shouldn't be a surprise, though. Where did the police department get this equipment? The militarization of the police has happened with the participation and encouragement of the executive branch of the federal government. Did anybody actually expect Obama to suggest the idea that government is too powerful? Don't be silly.

That's because Progs LOVE the Police State.

How about, you, first?

If anybody hears of a credible effort to get patriots on scene in Ferguson, I'll support it.
