Interesting article about what is going on, or should be going on, in Ferguson, MO from the perspective of a former Army Ranger.

I don't understand why rural farmers and suburban residents aren't coming into Ferguson armed to help the police restore order. A significant reason why we have the 2nd amendment is so that countrymen can help defend the nation in time of need. These looters and destroyers are basically an invading army. It troubles me that rural farmers and stable suburban citizens aren't saying "enough!" and coming take back their state from a third world, dependent culture.

The only interesting thing is that using that perspective tosses out a whole lot of legal framework. Equating protesters, looters/rioters with insurgents demonstrates a shallow understanding of important structural differences as well as opening up consideration of TTP's proscribed by law in this country.

He also descended into groups of protestors by himself to shake hands and hear the grievances which people had. This allowed the protestors to see the human face of the police force. Rather than a Army of faceless riot police, they were confronted with a man who was willing at least try to help.



Ive been saying this for a long time.

Few people see police as humans anymore because you really only see the cruisers and not a person walking around.

They're more of a machine to people, therefre people think of them as cold and heartless.
