Honestly, though, how happy would you be to see these protesters take over the studios on air of all of the major sources? Imagine Rachel Maddow or Shep Smith having to face the actual protesters!?

bbb Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 This is a Facebook post from the Mayor-Elect of Oakland. I know her, my neighbor works for her, I voted for her. But this is the dumbest thing she could have said and is getting lamb basted in the comments for it. I'm hoping that it was written by one of her dumbass handlers. The mayor of Rochester posted a similar thing and the comments are 99% killing her. Why would they do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 That is insane. The first thought I had last night was they should have parked tanks around the town. All that would have done is intensify the rage. Bull. They should have had every National Guard troop in Missouri on those streets with an adequate supply of flexi-cuffs and the ROE to use them. They should have started stacking those !@#$ers up like cord wood and sending the message that the second you step over the line, you're going into custody and getting a record. None of this "catch and release" **** they did before. Put them in the tombs for a few days and let them feel what it's really like. The message should have been sent loudly and clearly that what happened in August wasn't happening again, under any circumstances. The "Hug-a-Thug" tactics opened them up to this mess and were started by the "leadership" of idiots like Jay Nixon and Claire McCaskill. They cut the police off at the knees and essentially declared open season on the citizenry of a town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm right there with you but I think that we would have mass protests across the country and line the pockets of Sharpton, Jackson and anyone else even more. I hate saying that but it's almost as if we ignore the looters enough then they'll go away on their own. Otherwise, I would be perfectly fine with stacking them up like body bags.

Rob's House Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Actually, highly unlikely they wanted this. If there's one thing that's obviously perfectly clear with this administration, is that they don't want ANYTHING to happen and will go to great lengths to make sure that's accomplished. Otherwise, they'd have to answer pesky questions. If they didn't want it they'd have gotten out in front of it. They thrive on this kind of conflict. They just wanted plausible deniability, which they got with Obama's speech to calm the rioters after they already started rioting and not watching him on TV. You really think they didn't want a new story to take the attention off his executive order that even liberals are questioning the constitutionality of?

B-Man Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 If you thought the violence and rioting in and around Ferguson, Mo., last night was unbelievable, President Obama’s take on the effectiveness of his “peaceful protest” speech will blow your mind. According to White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz, the president feels his remarks to the nation were worthwhile since “most protests were peaceful.” Maybe he hasn’t read the paper yet today.

Will Phil Simms apologize for daring to speak the team name? Will America be annoyed by another of Bob Costas soliloquies? LISA BLOOM, NBC LEGAL ANALYST: I handle excessive case forces, I know how to do it and frankly it's not all that complicated. What you do is you get the person who's accused of excessive force to break this down nano second by nano second so that you can test if the story is true or not. That tells you all you need to know about her perspective. A "nanosecond by nanosecond" breakdown of a tense situation does not accurately reflect that situation - you get a HELL of a lot different answers in a protracted ex post facto analysis than you do judging the situation at the time from within the situation. The woman's not an authority on excessive case forces. She's an authority on sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Our military does not belong in the streets, combating domestic crime. We should not court a new Kent State, or worse, Tienanmen Square. While I agree with the last sentence, the National Guard is not "our military." They're the states' militias, to be used at the governors' discretion (and not at the President's discretion until and unless federalized, at which point posse comitatus comes in to play). It's one of the reasons Katrina was such a damn mess - Bush couldn't commit the National Guard, and Blanco wouldn't. Also, the National Guard is usually intended to round out the non-combat functions of the combat brigades. So they encompass a lot of skills like...public affairs, or military police. I don't know who's being called out in Ferguson, but the odds are they're as qualified and trained for crowd control, if not more so, than the civilian police.
