What do you want the police to do; nothing? That could be the outcome of all of these protest. Why should any policeman put their life or job on the line and be looked on as the criminal? I can easily picture both fire and police sitting back and not responding as the whole neighborhood goes up in flames. Don't forget that the vast majority of Blacks shot are shot by other Blacks like (possibly) Deandre Joshua - you don't see his face all over CNN.
Are you suggesting that the looters and protesters want the USA to fall into a state of lawlessness, where they can loot any store they want without fear of being arrested for their crimes?

Yep, sounds about right to me.
Like they were really concerned about Mike Brown - they immediately looted a Walgreens drug store and then sat it on fire (I presume after the pharmacy was sacked).
I don't think the feds would care if they looted and rioted, they probably even wanted it. Then they could use that as an excuse to exert more control and get support of the people for a police state.
I do agree though that Mike Brown probably meant zero to most of the people of Ferguson, outside of the people that were friends with him and his family.
Are you posters really Pro-Police corruption and excessive force?
Are you really pro-looting, rioting, and murder? (I know you are not, but that is what your statement amounts to.)
The inevitable outcome of these protests at this point is depolicing. There is no alternative with the path the protests have taken. And that is what people both fear and oppose.
Shame as it's mostly politics , these DAs need police unions on there side to get voted into office again , not so much about the Brown case but the I can't Breath case had the smoking gun shown right on camera, politicians need the police & fire depts on their sides .

What do you mean by depolicing?
The Movement has been clear what its against, and that is Police corruption. Why would you NOT want people out in the streets protesting that? That's what I'm asking.
To me it comes down to politics. I believe some are just upset they're "team" didn't start the protesting so they attack it.
