re: #66 #FergusonFireside

The police in Ferguson/STL etc. are racist to the core. We know what side they’re on.

I’m concerned about the 2 main protesters (See Jenner’s post above) who were picked up & taken in today. Appears they were just assisting the ones arrested last night at the freeway shut down to get out of jail. The were just snatched off the street.

I wouldn’t be *worried* per se, they just iced them for twenty four hours, hoping that the show will fade away. It’s certainly reprehensible, but cops are cops, and nuance is beyond them. “It’s for their own good.”

They’ll sue, and they’ll win. Everybody’s happy, right?
