(60,161 posts)14. You are so perceptive.
I honestly do think they are trying to provoke something, the result of which I suspect will be an excuse for marital law.
The violence towards minorities has become very very overt.
Sadly, neither congress nor the WH has intervened.This is telling in itself.
btw...here is Anonymous' reaction to Ferguson, they seem to be very aware of what is going on:
The last half is what Anonymous will do:
To the Ferguson Police Department and any other jurisdictions who are deployed to the protests: we are watching you very closely.
If you abuse, harass - or harm in any way the protesters in Ferguson we will take every web based asset of your departments and governments off line.
That is not a threat, it is a promise.
Attacking the protesters will result in
the release of personal information on every single member of the Ferguson Police Department, as well as any other jurisdiction that participates in the abuse of this States own law
. We will seize all your databases and E-Mail spools and dump them on the Internet.
This is your first and last warning.
The time has come for more than simple justice for these atrocities. The time has come to draw a line in the sand. The time has come to bring those to justice, who served to protect us, not kill us.
Until justice prevails, hack and protest will replace it.

"..It is unknown if the suspect has any gang affiliations.." Nor is it unknown if he was a unicorn!

"No officers were injured during the incident" so clearly this was a life-or-death struggle.

We need citizen review boards that have power and authority over police forces.

I've stopped using the term 'riot'. I now use the term 'resistance' and will do so

It's been like this for decades in LA. The only group that is worse is the LA County Sheriff.

Agreed. Still, social media and instant tecnhology and Gen Xers give me some hope.
