“There was a scuffle over a policeman’s gun and Brown was shot. “

There is no evidence to corroborate this blatant assertion.

The resentment of big government oppression is by no means a “Leftist” advancement of their agenda. In fact, what is happening in Ferguson is what Leftists fear, the people resisting big government wrong.

The police have seemingly bungled their response in Ferguson and have escalated and exacerbated a situation they instigated. The whole scenario began with a bad tempered police officer snarling to a kid to “get the eff on the sidewalk”, an “order” the kid didn’t have to follow because it was a gratuitous, nonsensical order. Things deteriorated from there.

They are cheering it and you are a "useful idiot".

We don’t yet know what happened.

The police action was wrong, and deserves the FBI investigation that it is receiving right now as to what the police officer did. There’s all sorts of stories and claims being thrown around. Don’t get me wrong, I would gladly like to see the cop end up in Federal Prison, but at the same time, I can’t recommend taking my word as the whole truth.

However, the rioting will damage homes and businesses in the community where this happened, and this is more damaging than just a cop committing misconduct and getting removed of his badge and honor, plus imprisonment, for a crime.
