Longform.org posted a link to this piece on Commentary magazine's website: http://www.commentarymagazine.com/article/the-watts/ It's a 1966 article about the 1965 Watts riots/protests. It's a fascinating, albeit depressing read, because it's been almost 50 years and nothing has changed. But worth the time to read.

the tone is 100% on point. what is misleading is that this "cult of compliance" has been ingrained into the society since 9/11. It started off, innocently enough, with absurd TSA intrusions of personal liberty, in the "name of security", and are now part and parcel of everyday life.- "Put your shampoo in a baggie and make sure it is not 3.1 oz. or the baggie is no larger than a quart". "Agree to a full body scan or a groping session." "Take your shoes off, leave your shoes on, tap dance, stop tap dancing" - on and on.. It's now completely accepted and appreciated as "saving us from the devil" when really it was just the beginning of the complacency indoctrination process. Add in the DHS (easily worth every penny of the 60 BILLION dollars a year we spend on "it), the Patriot Act, and how the expanded roles the NDAA plays in circumventing the constitution, of course all in the "name of security" and you get a greater erosion of liberty. Now militarize the police so that it becomes accepted that we can expect them to basically "be an army" for our "security". It's been going on right under your noses. Ignore it, pay no attention. "Hey look over there, it's another Ice Bucket Challenge!!!!"

just unbelievable. i've seen one tim ever where the police were outgunned, when that guy stole that tank in california and went on a rampage. there is no reason at all for these communities, or really any in this country, to have such things. christ, this is the u.s., not some uncivilized backwater full of isis-type groups.

don't you want to be safe? absolutely unreal how things have gotten. but hey, at least defense contractors are selling stuff, right? a few years ago, my youngest managed to hit another car in the store parking lot. he went in and had them call the other cars owner. so, i'm standing in front of the folks car with my son, trying to calm him down. he's embarrassed and a bit upset. the car owners were at the back of the car talking to the town policeman who was taking the report. it's cut and dried. i look up, and see another cop coming up. i turn to my son and said 'oh, give me a break' he looks at me, i said 'another cop for a fender bender'. but this is podunk central, so it was the highlight of the day i'm sure. the cop heard me say 'oh, give me a break'. he turns to me and says 'maam, if youre going to argue i'll take you to jail'. i looked at him, my son, and then back at him. i said 'i'm not arguing'. he said i heard what you just said after what the lady told me. i said 'sir, i didn't hear her and wasn't responding to her. and we all know what happened here. what i said was 'oh, give me a break' because i saw one of your other officers coming to help you write this report. you guys must be having a slow day'. so, that jackhole is going to take me to jail because i said 'oh give me a break'? just unreal.

Might just be me, but if I found myself in a volatile place and time, and a person (any person) had a gun raised in my general direction, the last thing I would do is walk toward that person in a group and initiate a confrontation. But perhaps my sense of self preservation is stronger than some. As my Dad said, look for trouble and you'll likely find it.
By the way, al jazeera offers no statistics to back up the utterance of their opinion piece. If anything, there seems to be a lack of comprehensive data.

'Darren Wilson "Nearly beaten unconscious" by Michael Brown before shooting' the comments by the guy who was with brown and said 'the door kicked back' and that the cop 'tried to pull brown into his car' told me there was a physical confrontation between the two. it's too bad there were no dash and cop cams. what they have to try to figure out was if that shooting was justified. and even if the pope came and investigated, and said it was, there's going to be hell to pay from some in ferguson.

What a piece of crap that article is. Even for a right wing dude you are, surely you can do better than that. As your new favorite partner in crime would say...you are a right wing ******...Dish it, deal with it

I agree with everything the article says. I think the author does a good job of providing evidence to back up every argument he makes. Eric Holder is a joke. He is just a liberal activist who only likes to prosecute certain groups. This has always been his modus operandi dating back to when he first came into office and dropped the case against the New Black Panthers. If that case had been against the KKK, rather than the New Black Panthers, Holder would have had the full weight of his office prosecuting that case. Anyway, going back to this current case, I don't care whether you are liberal or conservative. I don't think there is one of you that could look at me with a straight face and tell me that Eric Holder would be in Ferguson with 40 FBI agents investigating this case if the police officer was black and the shooting victim was white. That is the point that the author of the article is trying to make and any objective person would agree with that. Last edited by Rupert Pupkin : 08-21-2014 at 03:13 AM.
