I read elsewhere that FBI has already taken lead in the investigation of the shooting.

[cripplecreek]

Proof that democrats want things to be as bad as they can be.

[Jim Robinson]

Best be careful about what they’re asking for.

[rjsimmon]

This moron wants to put the military in place to protect people from the police??!!?? Alice just threw up a little on her way down the rabbit hole.

[Ingtar]

Molotov cocktails are peaceful???

[rbg81]

Largely peaceful?

Does that include looting?

[Beagle8U]

The called in the military to quell the Detoilet riots in the 60’s, didn’t work out too well for the rioters.

[ealgeone]

meanwhile the border is as loose as a hooker in vegas...and cheaper!

that's just hearsay mind you.

[Dilbert San Diego]

How about an icon such as John Lewis, go to Ferguson and appeal for the looters to give up violence????

[molson209]

federalize the Missouri National Guard to protect people as they protest ?

[Sarah Barracuda]

The left will do anything to ensure the midterm elections don’t take place..they know their goose is cooked

[Old Yeller]

So Lewis is askin for the authority to have his people shot on sight? Wow!

[animal172]

“largely peaceful protests?” What planet is he on?

[katwoman5779]

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.

[SpaceBar]

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

[NOVACPA]

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.

[greatvikingone]

We really do live in the Twilight Zone...

[greatvikingone]

I wish “leaders” would stop disrespecting police whole cloth.

[Don Corleone]

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.

[blueplum]

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 force’s 53 members. “How can you have a city and expect to have peace and order and when there’s 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.
