closing the airspace around the protests and stonewalling the press is severely fucked up. this is a situation of the police department's own doing.

[sppunk]

Yup. The militarization of the police is beyond fucked.

This is entirely the Ferguson PDs doing. Hopefully the DOJ disband them and holds them responsible quickly.

What does this mean? Is there precedent?

were all doomed

[Eulogy]

The pictures of cops in the camo and combat boots with assault weapons are just. Ugh.

I think people might finally be taking notice of this type of shit though?

Anyone listen to those dispatch recordings? Apparently the cop didn't even call in a shooting.

America's cops are a street gang.

most people are totally fine with fascism until they experience; many people are pro-police because they've never had to deal with police the way that the majority of blacks have to.

on a cursory glance of the KC Star comments, 90% of them were pro-police "fucking them up because they're throwing molotov cocktailz!!!"

The police are firmly in control of Ferguson at this point. We need to accept that it is their town now and move on.

Governor Jay Nixon finally addressed the issue (after 4 days) and the police are stepping down, making way for feds.

funny how little you hear in the mainstream conservative media about this, other than that the poors are rioting. When a racist white tax cheat got in an armed standoff with police after trying to steal land, he was treated like a hero by the media.



Cops murder black folks and nobody does shit.

A bit yeah. The state itself just took care of it thankfully.
