@13F2PL7 I can't believe military veterans are comparing their experiences while deployed to what has happened in Ferguson. Right or wrong.
A lot of vets, me included, would go to Ferguson and gladly teach some classes on crowd control and patrolling You are fucking it up.

@Emisnivek PD repeatedly moving in tactical formations while leveling weapons at unarmed threats. What kind of message does that send?

@13F2PL7 Like I said, right or wrong, don't compare it to experiences during deployment. Two completely different worlds. -
@Emisnivek The problem that I am seeing, though, is that the PD is treating it like a warzone when its not.

@13F2PL7 I don't see it that way. I think that's an over exaggeration. In the 80's it was night sticks. Today it's fancier. Not deadlier.

@13F2PL7 why we need to leave the soldiering to those who are soldiers or Marines. Didn't anyone learn COIN? Hearts and mind? -
@13F2PL7 where can I read about how the US military performed crowd control in Iraq/Aghanistan? -

@13F2PL7 they don't want training. they don't want to learn restraint. -
@13F2PL7 But first, each one of them would have to go through walking point on a night patrol that got ambushed . . . -
@13F2PL7 Crowd control and patrolling were not the point. The PD would not be interested. They've been itching for this fight for years.
