Ferguson Fearmongering And Distraction 2 Supposedly Arrested In Ferguson Protest Bomb Plot (Picture)
Note the original article: the source put the pictures of two black men arrested on weapons charges in a story aout a Ferguson bomb plot. Read the pIEce carefully; it does not say the two stories are connected, but impies it. Great example of media manipulation and fear mongering.
Two men were arrested by federal agents earlier this week in St. Louis on firearms charges, authorities told News 4 late Friday.
The men, who court documents identify as Brandon Orlando and Olajuwon Davis, face charges of making false written statements in connection with a firearms purchase and aiding and abetting. News 4 and CBS news confirmed the men were arrested on outstanding warrants. The men allegedly illegally purchased two Hi-Point .45 ACP pistols.
On the same day, law enforcement sources confirmed to News 4 that two men were arrested in connection with a plot to explode pipe bombs during protests. According to sources, the two men were arrested near Ferguson and were apprehended as part of an undercover operation. MOREHERE.
That police forces shouldn’t be “overmilitarized” has been a dominant theme of commentary on the recent social unrest in Ferguson, Missouri — among liberals, libertarians and conservatives alike.
The case against militarized policing — local cops outfitted with body armor, assault rifles, combat fatigues and so on — seems strong to me. For one thing, as Ross Douthat of the New York Times points out, its rise hasn’t had much to do with falling crime rates.
At the same time, though, it isn’t clear how much relevance this critique has to the events in Ferguson, where angry demonstrations and nights of violence and looting have followed the killing of an unarmed black teenager named Michael Brown by a police officer on Aug. 9.
Rich Lowry, the editor of the National Review (one of my employers), had me nodding along to this post:
When Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown, the officer was presumably wearing a typical police uniform and driving a typical police car. He either acted in entirely justifiable self-defense, made a catastrophic misjudgment after an altercation, or (in the extreme version of the protestors) shot Brown because he wanted to execute a black teenager. None of these possibilities have anything to do with the militarization of police one way or the other. MOREHERE
