Guess again, the cops have lost the confidence of the people. Without that confidence they are & will continue to be viewed as an occupying army .
The fact that they are dressing the part & acting the part does not lead to peace in the streets only to a learning curve for more effective tactics to inflict casualties on the cops.
The object of the exercise is peace in the streets preferably without making the city look like Belfast Northern Ireland in the 70’s & 80’s.
sorry I don’t buy it the only thing wrong in ferguson is the police are allowing people to riot and loot. If they had shut it down with harsher stricter tactics that really cost the rioters something it would have ended in one night.
This militarization excuse is just the latest scapegoat in a long line— racism, poverty, slavery, profiling and now “militarization” its all bullshit scapegoating that diustracts from the real problem—Black culture fosters, promotes and enables violent criminal bahvior.
