Ferguson - Justice but No Peace
Even after a Grand Jury cleared Officer Wilson. Even after the Justice Department stated the "hands up, don't shoot" mantra was based on lies, and again cleared Officer Wilson. Even after a Court clerk was fired and two Police Officers and a Judge who oversaw the court system resigned. Even after the City Manager resigned. Even after the Police Chief resigned.
Even after all this. The bloodthirsty crowd still isn't satisfied. Two officers were shot by a coward likely hiding in a nearby house.
They claim to want Justice. They chant, "No Justice, No Peace." Yet, even after Justice has been affirmed, there is no peace.
I was shocked and dismayed with the show of force by the county police in the days after the shooting. The video and still photos of officers clad in camo and armed with automatic rifles and driving armored vehicles were frightening.
After last night, I don't care anymore. Protestors better beware. Any kind of aggressive action against the police from now on should be responded to with brutal force.
"No Justice, No Peace." That's a lie. There was Justice, yet still they won't allow peace.
