Bundy Ranch was a good example...and that was militarized wanna-be cops acting against a conservative. Take a look at the new structure of FEMA for another example...once a bunch of bean counters allocating funds, it is now damn near its own national force. \<br /><br />None of this is good for any of us. These newly armed wanna-be cops do not answer to any elected officials directly...they are multiple layers removed, quite unlike the Mayor of a town or Governor of a State and their local police. <br /><br />Part, a good deal more than I am willing to admit, perhaps, of my recent near melt down had to do with how our government has changed and just who is working there now with near zero integrity. It disgusts me, embarrasses me, and it is my fault, in part, because I obviously did not set a good enough example for the generations at all levels and ranks that followed me.

The first story was that a fine, upstanding young man was shot in the back while standing with his hands up.<br /><br />Then it turns out that the the "fine, upstanding young man" had stolen items from a store and assaulted the shop keeper. Then not one, but two autopsies showed he was not shot in the back and his hands were not raised. And the latest news is that the officer has an orbital fracture in his face.<br /><br />But it is still a war on blacks.

It lessens the sense of isolation and alienation, one I suspect many, many Americans are feeling these days.<br /><br />I wish I were younger/had more courage/wasn't responsible for children. I think I know how to fight this, how to get something started against it. I emphasize: think. I think I know what needs to be done and how to do it (and, no, it doesn't involve violence). I'm just no longer in a position to do what is necessary.

I'm angry that the press lied, again, painting a hulking black thug as a sweet young man on his way to college. What utter bullshit! I'm angry that Missouri's governor is a limp-wristed fool, devoid of any leadership qualities that may have deescalated the circus. The idiot can't even run his own press conference without the black militant whiners seizing control; I thought he would pee his pants in fear. And, of course, all the race-baiter$ have flocked to St. Louis like flies to shit. It's despicable. <br /><br />But even with all that hooey, the thing that really REALLY angers me is the militarization of the police. Sure, we all knew they were doing it. The feds have been giving the local yokels military surplus "toys" for years. Seeing the result of this policy makes my blood run hot. <br /><br />Get your tanks off our streets, and quit playing GI Joe. You, the police, are hired by us, the taxpayers, to protect and serve. Period. You are civilians. If the contrived "riots" get beyond your ability to control, the governor has the authority to call up the National Guard. I could go on and on. But I won't. What is left to be said?<br /><br />Great post Jourdan.

The "state" is pathetic. This "riot" in Ferguson has gone on for 10+ days....the 1967 "riot" in Detroit, much larger by far, lasted only 5+ days...the US Army squelched it within that time. WTF is going on in Ferguson? <br /><br />The way you enforce respect for the unformed law enforcement officers, civil or military, is to shoot down the first dozen or so of the violent protesters. Then do it again if necessary. Trust me...the rest will comply.

I've already had more than enough of Ferguson. I'm not sure if Obama and Holder (as well as the FBI and military forensic experts that are also headed there), in their unheard-of involvement in a state matter, are trying to preempt the inevitable rioting/looting/violence when the police officer is either 1) found not guilty of charges that may be brought or 2) not indicted in the first place or if they are trying to influence the outcome of the investigation. I hope and pray it's the former.<br /><br />The parasite press need to leave the area. floranistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785282868515567825noreply@blogger.com
