The Democrats want to test the waters to see how martial law will go down with the American people. Then they can determine how to implement it on a larger basis when they overthrow the government. Damn, I’m beginning to sound like a conspiracy theorist.

Isn’t he one of the scowling faces in that humorous ‘the black community frowns on your shenanigans’ pic?

So Rep. Lewis, your solution to militarized police is ....martial law? Yeah boy...
Isn’t he the same was that claims he was spit on during the Obamacare “march”?
He only wants the Feds there so they can bring the officer responsible for the shooting out in the open.

Proof that democrats want things to be as bad as they can be. Everyone is concerned about demilitarizing the local law enforcement.
Nobody seems concerned about the militarization the various domestic federal agencies. IRS, EPA, Postal Service, Social Security Administration, Department of Agriculture, are all buying weapons and ammo.
Homeland Security and FBI are buying hollow point for target practice.

John Lewis, the Democratic congressman from Georgia and civil rights icon, called on President Barack Obama to declare martial law in Ferguson,
Be careful what you wish for you Maroon. Obama would like nothing better than to try out his Brown Shirted Thugees.

Lewis also stressed the fact that Ferguson, a majority-black town in the northern suburbs of St. Louis, has just three black police officers out of the forces 53 members. How can you have a city and expect to have peace and order and when theres very few symbols or representatives of the people making up the public safety department of the city? he asked.so Lewis is asking for balkinization and segregation? Does he honestly believe that a black police officer is going to be more 'lenient' than a non-black officer? what Lewis should be asking for is for black men to stand up and be the fathers they should be so there's less call for police presence to begin with.

You might want do a little reading before you throw him in with the likes of Sharpton. He was one of the original freedom riders. On the ride from DC to New Orleans he was beaten by mobs and arrested. He organized the Mississippi Freedom Summer to register black voters in 1964 and led the 1965 Bloody Sunday March in Selma where his skull was by a mounted policeman. He was willing to put his life on the line to secure the blessings of liberty.
