Can you believe this?...They stood there and let the thugs loot a Mans business. Unbelievable.....
Are we now supposed to "roll over" to thieves and arsonists?
If the police won't enforce law and order, who is?

I think it's ridiculous that the governor had the highway patrol take over for the local police instead of assisting the local police. Just ridiculous. The local police were told to stand down, so there is nothing they can do. And the highway patrol now in control wants to befriend the angry people in the community. Yeah, we see how that is working.

That must be some state....LOL.

Now they're going to have a curfew at 12am on a Saturday, just brilliant. Instead of having it go into effect as it starts to get dark, let's wait till midnight when you have crowds on the street running wild.

Well confrontation didn't work, neither did pacification, maybe it's time to try isolation. Block off the neighborhood and let them destroy it....

Armchair quarterbacks in this thread need to enlist in the New Black Panthers and keep the public safe.

I don't know who posted this on another thread, but it should be posted everywhere and the national news should be playing it.

The original site host comments section is quite humorous. Research will reveal he's not from Ferguson and merely a mouthpiece for an outside interest group with an agenda that has nothing to do with what's happened and needs to happen. His credibility is negligible.

Actually the strong response of the county PD was working pretty well - it just didn't look right to too many people, especially the national media types.

It was quite effective.

If rioting and looting was happening in my neighborhood - I'd want the "militarized" cops there clearing the crowd - not the hand-holding kum by ya BS going on now.

And by the way - the tear gas came out again last night.

More bodies would've resulted in arresting the looters, let them take steal, its was temporary anyway.
