I was not referring to Mike Brown, but rather the local citizens who seemed perfectly willing to burn their own town down because they were fed up with being bled dry by the excessive number of city ordinance and traffic tickets being issued. Brown was the spark, but because of the nickel and dime policing (when 40% of the city budget comes from ticket fines there is a problem) none of the locals had any respect or goodwill for cops. They were perfectly willing to march to the BLM tune.
The Sagebrush Rebellion involves the other BLM, but the same overreach only at the federal level resulted in armed resistance that they crushed and are still crushing.
Trying to equate the two is a stretch.
