I came here expecting many on the board to be complaining and criticizing the big-government overreach and police-state tactics on full display in Ferguson.

Seems like Ferguson was actually doing the worst when the smaller, local government was in charge of things - and when the larger state government took over security, things got a little better. Of course the tactics of each were vastly different. This might suggest it was actually what the police were doing that was the more relevant factor - and not the size of the government that they worked for. I know that's a revolutionary thought - let it sink in.
