How, exactly? How would sending more militarized white people into a pissed off black community...help? Would it exacerbate tensions and encourage more liberal bloggers to show up so they can continue to compare this to the South during the Civil rights movement?

Yes.

Will it allow the Self-Hating White Libtards bloggers to continue to unabashedly feign disdain?

Yes.


Will it increase ratings on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News ?


Ding Ding Ding!!!

i figured it would.
if the county police there are at all like the local yokels here, it could only improve to get them out of the lead role.

i think the police force there is a good example of how the feds mishandled the aftermath of 911, and homeland security. every pissant police force wanted their share of the largesse that was suddenly made available-as tho a place like ferguson was as large a terrorist target as new york city.
so, they get all this money and all these cool toys-so, hey, might as well use them. too bad there was no training given along with all that.

You're right- there's been a lot of discussion about how when a police force acquires all this stuff they get an itch to use them, and they haven't received military training in proper behavior in conflicts, so they make up their own rules as they go along.

If only Mike Brown been trained in proper behavior, as in you don't fight with police, this all would have been avoided.
