Police/Not Protesters Were Rioting

The police were radically nutty reactionary wild brutes in Ferguson most every day.
If they claimed they saw a bottle thrown, they threw tear gas. So riotous.
If the people chanted, the police enforced curfews. Riotously, needlessly restrictive. The chants were
not words asking for violence. They were words asking officials to recognize signs of surrender.
When cameras were on to record the action, or march with protesters, all the 1st Amendment rights
the press has were trampled.
If anyone set a fire, or looted a store, instead of targeting thieves and arsonists for arrest- police threw smoke bombs and tear gas.
Really, I can sit in a war tank and throw bombs, though I am an old and physically limited woman.
Where is professional police conduct? I will admit, I am afraid of bottles; but I think it may be because I don't have helmets, body armor, a baton, tazers, pepper spray, a gun, and a tank!
What happened to infiltrate, arrest, transport, and book?
Oh, Ferguson doesn't file "incident" reports.
Ferguson residents don't have a tendency toward violence except on paper.
While Ferguson police officials don't have a tendency to be law-abiding, except on paper.
A group setting a fire doesn't constitute a riot.
People throwing bottles don't make riots, unless a barrage of bottles are volleyed all at once.
Were your tanks badly hurt?
Killing is killing- and killing is wrong.
Having a badge doesn't entitle someone to be afraid enough of an unarmed man to gun him down.
If the police have a role in the community, I need to know what it is because each day their activities
speak more to no law, and no order.
Governor Nixon was ridiculous to come to town with a curfew in his mouth. The moment he announced it the Ferguson citizens shouted it down. He must have known this curfew would cause
trouble because he reportedly mentioned nothing about it in his talk with President Obama. I can
only think he did it to look politically law and order.
Journalists are attempting to be coy legal minds.
The officer's initial attack on Mike Brown's person was wholly unwarranted. If the boy was under
arrest for something, all he had to do initially was get out his handcuffs and say, "You're under
arrest."
If Mr. Brown continued to run, the psycho badge could have got on the radio, and he could also have
gotten a warrant.
That policeman knew what the media neglects to mention nearly every day of coverage they use: most of Ferguson has a blank slate nearly every year when it comes to violent crimes.
Crowds in Ferguson didn't get peaceful until 1) Captain Johnson began to treat them with dignity,
2) the ridiculous curfew was lifted, 3) the police stopped the strictest enforcement of the 'keep
moving' bullying, and 4) Attorney General Eric Holder came to town.
If Ferguson had a real police department, Mike Brown Jr. would be alive.
