As we noted before, we cant help but to contrast law enforcements reaction to protesters in Ferguson, Missouri versus law enforcements reaction during the Bundy Ranch fiasco.
1) The Bundy Ranch: On one hand, a large group of armed white men marched in a line of battle while at least one civilian rifleman in a snipers perch trained his weapon at Bureau of Land Management officials. In reaction, the government didnt fire a single round or canister of tear gas, and eventually retreated, conceding the disputed ground to the Bundy militias. Its important to note that the protesters turned out in support of a man who refused to pay his taxes and grazed his cattle without paying the accompanying fees. This man, Cliven Bundy, and his supporters threatened secession and armed revolt against the United States goverment.
2) Ferguson, Missouri: On the other hand, unarmed African American protesters in Ferguson, enraged and grieving from the death of an (again) unarmed black man named Michael Brown who was shot in the back by a police officer, have been confronted for several days now by police in full military regalia. This time, the rifleman in the snipers perch is a police officer his scope trained on the protesters.
In Ferguson, law enforcement is vastly overreacting in the face of peaceful protesters, while at the Bundy Ranch, law enforcement vastly underreacted in the face of armed secessionists and scofflaws.
Whats wrong with this picture? Better yet, whats wrong with the following pictures?
LAW ENFORCEMENT IN FERGUSON, MISSOURI:
LAW ENFORCEMENT AT THE BUNDY RANCH:
When some of us talk about two Americas, this is illustrates it exactly.
“........unarmed black man named Michael Brown who was shot in the back by a police officer,......”
Not sure if the rest have read that but sounds like the writer Bob Cesca missed the obvious evidence too. Shot in the back? Really? Just another “rumor” from the “Street Rats”.
1) The Bundy Ranch “protestors” didn’t burn any buildings.
2) The Bundy Ranch “protestors” didn’t loot any stores.
3) The Bundy Ranch “protestors” didn’t shoot at any cops.
4) The Bundy Ranch “protestors” don’t have a history of reacting with random violence every time a similar incident occurs, with no regard for the circumstances.
5) The government thugs knew they were in the wrong from the beginning at the Bundy Ranch, and that a shooting war would make THEM look like the heavies, not the “protestors.”
6) The government thugs withdrew from the Bundy Ranch because that was their only viable option against a purely DEFENSIVE force of determined, no-nonsense resisters.
But other than that, the two situations are identical.
When I saw the title, for a second I thought it was from Glenn Beck.
Ooops, I see a "hole" in your story.
I agree that it was the police officer who started this fight but he did not shoot any one in the back.
As far as the Bundy ranch fracas it has been going on for decades and there is a lot more to it than just taxes, the Bundy ranch owners believe the land belongs to them and has probably before Nevada became a state.
Harvey Whittamore is a close associate of harry reed and uses him to get land for his purpose, OIL? who would guess? in this case he wants the Bundy ranch, he is a known crook and has spent time in prison.
So it boils down to the fact that the Government forces are working for Harry Reed and Harvey Whittamore and not for the people who are supposed to be governing this nation.
That and the fact that the civilians could shoot back is why they never started the war.
In this case the civilians did not attack the Government forces, the Government forces attacked the civilians and they were not a Bundy militia.
In the Ferguson shooting I believe the authority that went to the head of the cop is what started it but then they found that the dead man may have just robbed a store of some cigars so every thing is even and seems as if most of the freepers are falling for it.
In the Ferguson incident it is power almost equal to what Hitler’s police had, in the Nevada incident it is Communism.
The black and white and Mexician people better get their heads together and Govern this country or we will not have a country left much less a free country.
