How President Obama Should Address The Ferguson Crisis

[TaftFan]

First, he should condemn the riots. There is absolutely no excuse for inciting fear and damaging private property. Those are severe crimes and should not be excused just because people are upset.

Second, he should call on the police to demilitarize. This is America. We do not need tanks on the streets. Military grade equipment must not be used on American citizens, especially nonviolent protesters.

How about. Mike Brown could have been my son...


Ya right. Like that would ever happen.

Or he could just do like he does in any other country where this is happening and consider arming the people against the oppressors. :)

No?

:rolleyes:

Damn right, they should peaceably assemble and protest government for redress of their grievances...

Oh, wait...


“This is no longer a peaceful assembly. Go home or be subject to arrest,”

Obama should stay the hell away from the situation, he can only make it worse.

I'm not sure if taking away their equipment is the best idea, considering that the rioters and looters aren't being effectively contained as it is currently. Seems like we just need more police and more MRAPs.

Also what would help a lot is the Active Denial System (More [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System). Now that I think about it, that system seems like it would actually work very well mounted onto a drone. Now that would be fucking sweet.
