I'm watching gangs of lawless thugs in Ferguson, Missouri

They look like this:



and this:



They've thrown out the 1st Amendment right to assembly and redress of grievances and are answerable to who? Has anyone seen the Mayor of Ferguson at night? Or the Ferguson City Council? Did they give the cops orders and go home for the day?

You can't tell me that Capt. Ron Johnson of the Missouri State Police has operational control over *every* locality that has sent cops and tactical units to Ferguson.

I've seen units from some place called "Maryland Heights" tonight. You mean to tell me all these folks roll up to (report to) Capt. Ron Johnson?

This shit reminds me of Blackwater running wild here in New Orleans after Katrina.

Tactical teams are apparently doing house to house searches...which I am guessing is why the media is being dismissed.

... send em' all back to reenacting Civil War battles. Give em' blanks, so at least they'll hear the crash-bangs. Call it "War Games." Only thing, it will be on their own dime, not on their tax-payers.

It's definitely over-kill. If they hadn't been there, the whole protest would have been peaceful. Hey... they could have been given a roll: Just place one at the front and back door of all the businesses. Sun-up to sun-down.
