Rand Paul Responds To Ferguson: 'We Must De-Militarize The Police'

[sabrina 1]

37. That IS what we have. Which Dems, other McCaskill today, have addressed this 'militarization of the

police'. Were you around during the OWS protests? Did you see the exact same tactics used against those protesters, the Militarized Police, the weapons, the brutalization by 'forces' looking more like the Military than any police dept? And did you know that most of the mayors in the towns where these Military morons were brought in WERE DEMOCRATS??

Did you watch what happened in Oakland Ca eg? In Oregan, SF? So let's not pretend that Dems have been up front standing up for our Constitutional Rights. We learned in fact, that one of our Dem mayors was in consultation to use these brutal tactics with the Feds, while mouthing how she wanted 'peace' which btw, she had, until she brought in the Private Mercs.

Please, this 'look over there' tactic won't erase the memory of what we have learned about both parties regarding these issues.

I'm just thrilled that it is now reaching the front pages of the media, FINALLY. And that at least one Democrat and one Republican are asking for an end to the militarization of our civillian police.

You may prefer to go back to the 'theiir team' v 'our team'. I prefer to face facts now that we have them.
