It might be time for a curfew in Ferguson.

It is not to quell free speech, but it is to protect the dignity of the struggle that lies ahead in pursuit of justice for the family of Micheal Brown. It is obvious that an element has infiltrated the efforts of those who want peaceful protest and they are hell bent each night on chaos. Their actions are beyond frustration and anger. If curfew is not the answer, then the law enforcement needs to set up large very bright lights in the protest areas so that infiltrators cannot hide in the dark. To let this continue as it is does nothing for the much needed movement for change for the people of Ferguson. The media is loving it but many are just pained by the nightly visions of burning businesses and police cars. Where are the thinkers in all of this? Something has to be done. If not, it will end in tragedy greater than what has already happened.
