President Obama will ask Congress "for $263 million for the federal response to the civil rights upheaval in Ferguson, Missouri, and is setting up a task force to study how to improve modern-day policing," Reuters reports.

The $263 million would pay for body cameras for police officers to use and expand training for law enforcement in an attempt to build trust in communities such as Ferguson, where a grand jury decided not to indict a white police officer in the shooting death last summer of an unarmed black teenager.

At least the Weekly Standard put the “civil rights upheaval” in quotes.

But farther down, they forgot to add...
self-proclaimed, or so-called, “civil rights leaders”.

This is about making heroes and martyrs out of violent thugs like Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin, and encouraging more of them with the “blame law enforcement” attitudes of Al Sharpton and Eric Holder.
