They've lined the streets with police in riot gear, brought in a new black commander with an empathetic manner, imposed a curfew, lifted it and deployed the National Guard — and still the violence erupts nightly in the town of Ferguson, Missouri.

After more than a week of unrest following the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old, law enforcement and political leaders are left struggling for answers to a frustrating question: What can we do to restore peace to the community?

I agree about the media. They feed this.

They wouldn’t like anything that stopped the freebies.

How can authorities restore order in Ferguson?...priceless watching them try - too many police, too "militarized" (whatever that means - we'll call off the cops and just let them march while we watch - what, shots fired? stores looted? - now we'll call in the National Guard - yet, that'll demilitarize things - what's next????.....

great idea. bti’d either do what japanese stores do’to prevent young people loitering. they play a really loud high pitch sound olyyounger folks can hear and they can’t stand being there.

otherwise some really nice classical music would probably clear the streets.

okay found the song that does the japanese high pitch noise and also s unappealing to black people, and most white people.

tiny tim on ukelele singing tiptoe through the tulips.

if they are controlling entry, then if any problems start tonite, the locals can’t claim ‘outsiders’ caused it. One day this community is going to have to look in the mirror. The apartment shooting last night, that led to dozens being gassed, likely was ‘usual’ crime and attached more to the gangs rampant in the town and not to the protest.

Check IDs at the city limits.

Do not let anyone in that does not live there.

Check Id’s of anyone out and about within the city limits.

Anyone not living there gets escorted to said city limits.

Stops the importation of any rabble rousers.

This should have been implemented the day after people started to gather.

His timing, timbre and tone are off, but the lyrics speak to me. ;-)

“...Obama can not bring himself to condemn these actions unconditionally and forcefully. He excuses these actions with statements like “there is also no excuse for police to use excessive force against peaceful protests”. ....”

The trouble is, these ‘protests’posts are anything but peaceful.

They should treat this as an insurrection. You shoot enemy soldiers even if they run away. Keep this up every night and soon most everyone will abandon the insurrection.

All humans of good will should go down to some local body of water and float little peace boats and and pray for peace.

The “protests” are pieceful, as in I gotta piece of the rock.

They may be doing just that. Blueplum posted a link and some of the comments are quite stupid.
