I don't remember any type of gun fight going on between the ferguson rioters and the national guard so I'm not sure why you think that this case would be any different.

"Waco part2" really? This isn't a religious compound full of weapons and fanatics. It's a bunch of hood rats running around, being violent, trying to get free stuff. Ghetto thug culture is rampant with this type of ignorance, and it solves absolutely nothing.

Oh my god on that live CBS feed, The mayor just suggested that Al Sharpton should come and help calm the protesters down. All reason has been tossed out, it's absolute blind denial. I feel like I live in bizzaro world these days here in the USA. ~$heopleNation

Also, this seems more like an attempt to link the protest with gang activity rather than police brutality.

What do we do? what can we do? The FBI crime lab lied for decades now we are finding out state crime labs have been lying to us. We have a prison for profit growth industry and a prison labor that benefits some of the top 100 corporations. Our political system is bought and paid for by the highest bidder...
For real what can we do?

Why can't they just admit to the wrongness that led to this and start holding officers accountable. That would calm people down. How about a couple of trials and some indictments? But noooooo, we'll just send a clown and a guy in a Spiderman costume to calm down the kids.

Vs the reality which is the protests have been turned into a chance to loot by thugs?

I don't condone violence
but the police do need to be (re)taught their place in society.
