Since I’m not there, and since the internet is afire with posts and tweets and photos and vids and such, I have little to add on the topic that is of any value. Really only two points I’d like to raise:
1) On the subject of militarized police vs. rioters/looters:
“Can’t they both lose?”
2) It’s from a few years ago, but the basic lesson stays the same:
It’s interesting that the people screaming the loudest about police brutality/overreaction/etc. in Ferguson seem to be the same who scream the loudest that Tea Partiers (or anyone else who wants smaller government) are racist.
Well, if you want big government, you’ll get big policing to go with it.
