I Know, Let’s Have A Riot
Missouri seems to be doing just about everything possible to create a riot following a decision by a grand jury. There has been no decision, but the governor has declared a state of emergency, put the National Guard on stand-by, and put any response in the hands of the county, rather than city police officers.
The problem in Ferguson was caused by a police over-response to protests, and now they are preparing to max out the response to any demonstrations following the decision of the grand jury.
What happens if the grand jury indicts the police officer and the KKK protests? Is the Klan going to be subjected to the same tactics that were used in earlier protests?
All of these public announcements about steps that are being taken are just raising the temperature of a volatile situation. You need to prepare for trouble, but you don’t announce your preparations. That’s how you attract the trouble makers.
