Now that Missouri Highway Patrol are policing Ferguson, things are a lot different.
This is what happens when you remove racist, belligerent cops from a non-violent protest.
it is very good news that the citizens are no longer living under militarized attackbut please don’t forget that this sudden surge of friendliness is a deliberate tactic to placate unrest and maintain order, not to bring justice or to truly answer to the problem of police brutality
it is a move to shift the narrative to “a couple cops are bad apples, but look how good the rest of them are”
