been thinking about the John Oliver segment mocking Keene for trying to get a Bearcat for the Pumpkin Festival https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUdHIatS36A …
The idea that a bunch of white kids at a New Hampshire Pumpkin Festival merit a Bearcat is so prima facie absurd it can be a punchline

But any black confrontation with police requires endless amounts of evidence that black people are not monsters
-
meanwhile, at a Pumpkin Festival that would be ridiculous to police with a Bearcat, white kids turn cars over and set fires

@sarahjeong So I got at this in my article http://www.vox.com/2014/10/20/7009803/pumpkin-riot-keene-new-hampshire-festival-police-white-john-oliver-ferguson … I think imp't part is that justification for BearCat was terror, not riots -
.
@DLind but it's always "terror," which is dog whistle for protest, riots, any disturbance really -
@sarahjeong The system we've built: all fear has to be turned into fear of terror to be rewarded, but rewards can be spent on any fear.
