My take? Honestly? My take is that there has been obvious intimidation and heavy handedness by the police SINCE the shooting death that seriously needs to be addressed and my take is that many posters here are OK with this and are willing to sweep it under the rug. I'm not someone willing to sweep these issues under the rug. I'm not down with journalists getting arrested, I find that very much chilling, and I'm not down with the militarization of the police, my belief is that this inspires Molotovs from the troublemakers. Not that they should be throwing them in the first place mind you but the police response seems to be that who they are dealing with deserve militarization. I don't apologize for having major issues with this. Those people in Ferguson? Anyone one of us could just as easily be one of them instead of who were are. Rob

And I really just can't break from this thread.....sorry about that. Going now.
