The police were confronted with largely peaceful protesters.
Frankly, police behavior went beyond mere jack booted thuggery. The Ferguson police seemed completely out of control.
The strongest defense conservatives could offer for their behavior was to allege there was some looting in addition to the peaceful protesters.
Conservative flip flopping on the issue is also palpable. The Bundy Ranch protesters are patriots while the the protests in Ferguson are rioters and thugs.
So the larger issue here, which really needs to be discussed is this:
Is the right to protest a white privilege in America?
Discuss.
Hmmmm..... "Peaceful Ferguson Protesters". Leaves a person wondering why the Ferguson cops reacted with such thuggish and jack booted tactics.
Oh yeah, its definitely gotta be that white privilege / racism thing.
Yea those few constitute the majority of people who peacefully protested. I guess you didn't want to hear Obama saying violence and destruction of property is not acceptable. I guess you didn't see blacks stand in front of a business to protect it.
"Blacks do it too"
NO SHIT
Any population anywhere in the world is going to have a ratio of crime. Now are you only going to single out the few and ignore the majority who did not do that?
And these blacks in the articles below didn't do that.
