Ted Cruz Defends Reporters Arrested In Ferguson

He defends the reporters but he’s still a weasel about Mike Brown’s murder:

“Together, we should all mourn the loss of life in Ferguson, Missouri and work to keep our communities safe and free. Police officers risk their lives every day to keep us safe, and any time a young man loses his life in a confrontation with law enforcement, it is tragic,” he said.

“Civil liberties must be protected, but violence is not the answer. Once the unrest is brought to an end, we should examine carefully what happened to ensure that justice is served,” Cruz concluded.

Here’s a simple summary, Ted — a cop murdered an unarmed black kid in the street. The cops have been in cover-up mode ever since and have now moved to open suppression of the residents of Ferguson and to arresting reporters. That’s what happened.
