Armored vehicles rolled back onto the streets of Ferguson early Saturday, as riot police faced off with looters in the Missouri town gripped by protests since the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black teen.

This is the way to protect your property when the police don’t show up. It works.

If they wanted to put a black face out there they should have borrowed the Milwaukee Sheriff of Detroit Police chief.

Johnson might be a black political cop, but at least he's from MO. I don't think importing an out-of-state police figure is good precedent.

what cracks me up are the Freepers who 24 hours ago were screeching about police over reacting the ones complaining about not doing enough to stop it

I'm not seeing that. The argument is that bringing out the toys of militarized police units sets a dangerous precedent and incites those who are just looking for a reason to riot.

I don't know the answer. What's happening with a lot of situations is part of Chaos Theory. Whenever natural, normal processes are thwarted, the next reaction will be more extreme. If this goes on long enough, the reactions will be so extreme and uncontrollable they'll create chaos. We're seeing this globally and nationally in so many situations....civilization is on the edge of tangential chaos.

The governor did the correct thing putting the black guy from the area in charge. Problem is things are so far gone a lot of the disenfranchised but pampered underclass have nothing better to do but riot.

Using those tanks and tear gas etc is a slippery slope. What happens when someone fires some shots (could easily be a provocateur) at a conservative rally? Will it be tanks and tear gas?

That’s what you call equality, the officers are just as fat, sloppy and weak as the perp, tax payer dollars distributed fair and equally, ensuring the fat, sloppy and weak get their fair share.

Do we know which college he was going to attend?

"State" college, no doubt.

Forcing cops to accept and salute Gloria Steinem’s political beliefs has already cost cops their lives. The male cops get shot when a females is relieved of her gun because HE is the threat.

IFIR it was Howard Stern who 20 or 30 yrs ago mockingly challenged a girl cop to come to the studio and “arrest” him.

Once the powers that be were cunning and sagacious enough to make patently obvious concessions to reality such as not pairing 2 women. The further people drift into un-realaity however the less they actually know or recognize...REALITY!

Great picture. It is the great fear of government - people defending themselves and their property.

“The governor did the correct thing putting the black guy from the area in charge.”

Why? Should only blacks be allowed to police blacks?

Should they fire all the white cops? Do you just have a ‘changing of the guard’ when a city population tilts demographics and whatever the majority race is, the others get fired?

A new zoo keeper won’t change a zoo into an amusement park.

Putting the black police office from the area in charge was a serious attempt to open up a conversation. That failing, it gave the protestors enough rope to hang themselves. Nobody can seriously contend any longer that the rioters are looking for any positive outcome.

(not related to my comments, just a random thought) Reading the posts this AM has been an eye opener that scares me. If looters and robbers who run away from police aren't shot as a policy, that's where we've lost all sanity and ability to control the thugs.

Anyone who doesn't stop when police tell them to should expect to be shot. JMHO

I remember in 1964 the NYC riots were set off when police officers shot a black teen. That set off a chain of riots in black cities across the country for the next five years or so. All sorts of laws and giveaways were passed which were going to fix the problem. The problem still hasn’t been fixed. The solution by politicians: pass more laws and programs to “help” the black individuals and communities. Yeah, that’ll work. (snicker)

Have heard that in seventy years. Parents sat at end of table so they could cuff with their right or left hand, depending where the violation of the order originated.

"I'm not seeing that.

Well I assure you its there in plenty of threads.

You are right about the 'toys', but then there again some of those screaming the loudest were the same ones that loved the tanks, police in full combat gear, machineguns, the lockdown and the warrentless baseless house to house during the search for the Boston Bombers. It made them feel so safe.
