Even if you buy the official police rap that a handful of looters & “outside agitators” (we haven’t heard that epithet since the McCarthy era) are the problem in Ferguson, is this the kind of equipment you use to save a convenience store or the local pizza joint?

Anyone in this country who believes in the Bill of Rights (which is the only salvageable part of the US Constitution, a slave owners document) had better speak now or forever hold your peace because if this isn’t stopped in Ferguson it will become the face of lawlessness in all the US.
