The police element in Ferguson is dividing the protesters into two segments. The Good Peaceful Protesters and the Bad Violent Protesters/Thugs. There is only one type of protester and that is one seeking the legal process to work for the death of Michael Brown Jr.'s killer.
It won't be long before the guns come out and the Bad Protesters are victims of the policing system as well. These protesters won't go away. This is Ground Zero to the illegitimate killing of young black men. It is time the killing stops. The militarization of the police force in the country is outrageous and the police within LAW ENFORCEMENT are illegitimately killing people.
The cops are afraid of the people they are suppose to serve and protect.

The protesters in Ferguson are receiving support from other nations around the globe. This entry is simply the facts to the reality of minority and poor Americans.

...It's also a reason (click here) why tensions have run high. “When you have a situation where a population comes to feel that it’s occupied by a hostile force, even though that’s the national or local police force, it creates a really dangerous environment,” says Christopher Dickey, the foreign editor for The Daily Beast.
Dickey is based in France and the events in Ferguson remind him of the 2005 riots in the suburbs of Paris. They started after an incident in which police were chasing down three teenagers in a minority neighborhood outside of Paris. The teens climbed a wall to get away from the cops, the place where they tried to hide was near an electrical transformer. All three were electrocuted.
“The police were blamed and all of a sudden, really, it felt like all of France was in flames,” says Dickey. Now he sees parallels to the shooting of Michael Brown.
“We don’t know what happened with Michael Brown, but it certainly looks suspicious," he says. "We do know that the Ferguson police force over the years has become infamous for its abuse of different people that it picked up."...
The reason the police are afraid of the people is because of the enormous number of guns on the street. Supposedly owning and carrying a gun is suppose to make Americans safer. This is a prime example of how gun supporters have their rights protected while those with far fewer resources are killed and loose their rights.
In Arizona, radical gun elements in the country are protected and no National Guard shows up to enforce the law, but, in Ferguson the National Guard shows up with an American illegitimately dead at the hand of police. There is no equity in the USA anymore. The country has become the law of the wealthy and powerful.
The protesters are not criminals. They are people demanding justice! Journalists are not criminals and they are not instigating trouble. They are reporting and routinely journalists IN THEIR PRACTICE gravitate to areas where human beings are at risk for injury or death. The journalist paradigm whereby they are among 'the action' is not unusual. Journalists routinely put their lives in the path of danger in order to bring the events to a nation of people so the FACTS are no distorted.
What the police need to focus on is the real potential for the violent White Americans in Arizona coming to town with self-righteous zeal to kill so called Violent Black Protesters.
