Right, so let’s put tanks, APCs, MRAPS on America’s streets and have cops sight in mounted weapons on American citizens.

Applause applause.

We will have no excuse to bitch and moan when the day comes when Obama’s civilian security force, just as strong, just as powerful, just as well funded as the U.S military - is used against you at the behest of the regime.

You folks have no idea what you are empowering to be used against you in the near future.

We will certainly deserve everything that comes as a result of it.

Here, maybe you should read this. It might clear up some of your 'misunderstanding' of the law as it applies to Law Enforcement.

I am just saying this is the reality of the situation and the current laws.

I didn’t say you have to like it.

While I agree with you that we may be on a path that we will end up regretting, the fact is that the officer , according to current law, was JUSTIFIED in firing at Mr. Brown.

Had you been in The officer’s place, what would you have done ?

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

The rioting was based on a completely false premise. The cops responded with force, and based on the evidence during the rioting, which you could watch LIVE ON TV, a lot of force was needed.

So... do you blame the cops for responding to what amounted to a 'warzone' on American streets ?

What would you say if you lived just outside of Ferguson, and the cops did NOTHING, and the rioting, looting, Home invasion spread to YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD ?

We all know... you would be on the phone to the cops demanding that they come out IN FORCE and shoot these criminals.
