After everything that's happened. It really demonstrates what the problem is in Ferguson (and everywhere else). I'm having a lot of thoughts that I haven't worked out yet - I seem to be thinking the people SHOULD violently riot! If the police force doesn't protect people, if they actively persecute and murder people, why <em>should</em> those people obey them? Why should they participate in a law/justice system that is massively UNjust? <br /><br />The only thing that keeps me from endorsing a full-fledged citizen assault on the PD is knowing who will get the worse end of that situation. I don't want people hurt, any people, and that can't possibly work out well.<br /><br />On the other hand, look at that crazy cattle rancher guy, putting up highly armed resistance with a group of obviously violent people, and the feds backed down. Of course, they're not going to shoot a bunch of white people...<br /><br />I'm feeling a lot more Malcolm than Martin recently.<br /><br />I don't know. I'm having nightmares every night too. I wish the president would be more involved in this, but I know he's got a lot on his plate right now, internationally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
