Ferguson PD has military equipment
riot dispersal gear (Town of 21,000?) ARMORED MILITARY VEHICLES- police officers in camo and assault rifles and heavily Armed snipers atop the armored vehicles but they cannot AFFORD dash-cameras that would, you know, RECORD EVIDENCE.
I have worked with some violent people who hurt others, because they believed they could. Then came up with some amazing lies in their report narratives. A few cameras on scene would probably explain a lot. is that why the police are arresting news reporters and confiscating cell phones. (Didn't the Supreme Court already make a decision on police seizures of cell phones and video equipment?
Why isn't that standard being held against the Ferguson PD?)
