One answer, Nolan said, rests with police, who should take the initiative to meet with nonviolent protesters, pledge to scale back some of the more military-style methods of crowd control

Didn't they already try that? Hm?

How about they pass a law requiring white cops to refrain from taking action when black aggressors throw punches at them or bum rush them? /s

Bring mobile libraries to those streets and they will run away from the books.

Instead of gas canisters they should have launched small bricks of Marijuana at them. Then blast some Bob Marley at them.

Targeted drone strikes on the looters.

The right to assemble is a right. Government should not abridge that right. They should vigorously enforce the law however. These things get out of control when “compassionate” officials and an insane media imply that an innocent cop was somehow guilty of something before one fact was in.

Why not go ahead and play Kumbaya from sound trucks all day and all night, until the street rioters get so tired of it they leave. Nothing else has seemed to work.

Let’s re-learn the lesson we learned in Iraq that we should have figured out without having gone through the exercise in the first place.

For the people of Ferguson to live in a civilized neighborhood, they have to, in short, acquire the aspiration to live in “the civil society” as it is termed. They have to WANT TO. And I absolutely acknowledge that most likely, the great majority of the people there actually do want this. But I also acknowledge that there is no visible evidence of this.

That means they have to reject mob rule which is what they have now. If they wish to appeal to law enforcement and/or government control (which has been so blazingly successful in the history of Black society) then they have to be willing to have various shining/s examples of their youth arrested and imprisoned, and for that, they have to cooperate with law enforcement instead of wishing it dead.

Until that happens, until the time when they realize that obeying the exhortations of the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons and Eric Holders of the world are the very actions that preserve their self-imposed prison, then how they are now is how they shall remain.

The people have to grow up and stand on their own.

Its the only way.

Let them have at it. When the armed citizens protect themselves, then they can clean up the trash. Law abiding citizens are not the ones rioting. The second amendment is action.

Just let them burn themselves out. If they get gunned down by store owners, they’ll repent of their ways.

Obama and Holder should visit, to provide hands-on classes in how to advance social justice by liberating televisions from capitalist pig store owners.

There is NO EXCUSE for rioting, looting, and burning buildings. There is NO EXCUSE for mobs chanting for the death of the officer.

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”.

Dissing the local police and siding with protesters and looters seems to be a failed strategy.

Criminals and looters don’t respect capitulation and weakness.
