Business Insider ^ | 08/13/2014 | Paul Szoldra

A large police SWAT team showed up to a peaceful demonstration in Ferguson, Missouri and the scene is getting increasingly tense, reports Huffington Post's Ryan J. Reilly, who is currently on the ground.

Soon after the team of more than 70 officers came on the scene, they told protesters they needed to leave the area and that "this [was] not open for discussion," Reilly tweeted. MSNBC reporter Trymain Lee tweeted that police told the crowd, "Go home, return to your vehicles. The protesters responded, "Mike can't go home!"

"Your right to assembly is not being denied," the police said later over a loudspeaker.

Well, hello there! I just got cable installed today!

I haven’t watched TV in about 9 months. I just wish I could find my laptop.

I think it’s natural. Why insist that they are only allowed to use sub-par gear?

OK fine. Let the cops use all the high powered weaponry they want. After all, its just the feral hoodrats.

Until later they use that stuff on us bitter clingers.

I would be fine with cops having more firepower than a battalion of Marines, but one of these days....

There are plenty of non-lethal methods of crowd control, but little hope of de-escalation once the bullets fly. This kind of response will eventually be met with like force.

Looters are criminals and should be treated as such, but lethal force should be the last resort of a police agency. If this type of response is required, then activating the National Guard would be preferable—the units I know would be less likely to shoot than these wannabes.

It doesn’t make sense to me that any local official can call out the equivalent of a brigade at will. Even Congress is supposed to authorize the use of force before troops are employed. Military power should be reserved for the military.

Doesn’t explain or justify burning businesses.

The rioters were even shooting at helicopters.

Riot much, not on that.

Now see, that guy is doing what he probably initially learned in the military.
