Mass confusion!!!

It seems to me, when I observe what is going on in Furguson, that no one has any clue on what they are doing.

One night there is a curfew, the next night there isn't. One day they are going to demilitarize the police, the next day they are not. The police tactics and their movement have no real purpose or real pattern.

I see the same thing from the protestors. Everyone seems to be doing their own thing with no organization or overall strategy. I know that life is messy, but damn, can we get some organization out of all this insanity.

Or it could be that I am just to damn anal.

the rules to keep organizers from organizing. Police are also known to give contradictory instructions so that they can't be obeyed properly, giving them an excuse for arrests.

But then, I am old and deeply cynical.
