This as Attorney General Eric Holder announced he was ordering Federal "monitoring" of the events in Ferguson. This is to ensure the rioters rights are upheld and protected.

Tanks?
What are we supposed call tanks now, if the media is going to switch to calling armored cars “tanks”?
I haven’t seen a photo of them yet, but surely there are no tanks being brought in.

I am not going to defend the police officer who killed this young man
I am outraged that people think that burning down stores and looting is the answer. That is right out of the weather underground and students for a democratic society (that is to say Cloward and Piven).

I understand Al Bundy had a Ferguson.

In this case they appear to be former military war vehicles or MRAPs. Lots of them have been recently acquired by civilian law enforcement in the U.S.

Here is a close up on a similar war vehicle.. Third world countries have been using similar types of vehicles to control their people for some time.

Exactly, and we are seeing a real effort by some shady writers, to convince people that they are tanks.

Many who never served have no idea...
However many of these types of military vehicles can be very quickly outfitted with some fairly hefty firepower...

The problem is that they are lying and trying to convince gullible people that they are tanks.
