It may be a fair statement that no true government exists. Tue Nov 11, 2014 6:28 pm  untanglingwebs El Supremo The behavior of the police towards peaceful protestors is appalling. The militarization and over reaction resembles the actions of a communist country instead of the United States. It is no wonder that emotions are riding high and tensions heightened. The protest in Ferguson resembles a coalition and is not merely a group of black Americans. Even the New Black Panther Party was on their best behavior and tried to help maintain peace after gangs and other disruptive forces invaded Ferguson to loot. The Ferguson residents resented the looting because those actions did not represent them as a community, nor did it represent the purpose of their protests. While I support he police, I realize that there can be bad officers. Detroit spent years under a DOJ oversight. Flint has had many lawsuits for excessive force and was under federal investigation. The NAACP worked with the DOJ on similar issues. Cop Watch makes me sad because of all of the documented police abuse they expose. And much of this violence appears to be directed at minorities and women. Is it any wonder that with all of this happening and the oppressive actions of our Republican legislators, that America is about to boil over.

Speaking at a press conference, Gov. Jay Nixon (D) said that over 1,000 police officers have received a combined 5,000 hours of training on dealing with protests ahead of the grand jury’s announcement, which is expected later this month. He said that the National Guard would be on standby and that several law enforcement departments would work together to deal with any protests that happen. At least one of those departments has stocked up on riot gear. Nixon vowed on Tuesday to “keep this region safe,” while declining to answer more specific questions about the way police plan to deal with demonstrations. But law enforcement officialsat the press conference put a special emphasis on protecting the rights of protesters, which police had repeatedly violated during protests in August. St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar, who has previously defended his department’s approach to the demonstrations, indicated on Tuesday that he agreed with many of the rules of engagement proposed by the Don’t Shoot Coalition, a group formed in the wake of Brown’s shooting. “Most of those, at a glance, we’re going to be on the same side of,” Belmar said. “So I think recognizing that, that we have common ground, and not dwelling on the points where we might have disagreement, I think that puts us towards that relationship which leads us to trust. And if we don’t have trust, we don’t have anything.” Belmar also said it was “fortunate” that nobody was killed or injured during the August protests. He acknowledged the reaction that many protesters and observers had when police officers brought out tactical equipment that wasn't necessary. “We understand that people say that, 'Listen, when you put riot gear on and different things like that, it agitates us.' But frankly we haven’t hurt anybody with a riot helmet yet,” Belmar said.   Wed Nov 12, 2014 7:08 am    Display posts from previous:   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First
