Boomers:

Ignore memo "Bin Laden determined to strike US using planes"

Send military equipment to police departments

Create police state

Great job, fuckups!

Jay Nixon: Boomer.

What the fuck is he doing?

 

[DeaconBrews]

seriously, what the hell is going on in Ferguson, MO? Where is the Federal Government? Where is intervention from the Governor of the state? Why are reporters getting arrested and assaulted with no real reason? Why are they firing tear gas unto lawns and rubber bullets at nonviolent protestors?

Sad

Why are people looting rims in protest?

 

[JamesSokolove]

We can have one but this thread is about blaming the Baby Boomers for Ferguson

 

[TuffaloDeac10]

And blaming them for creeping fascism in America generally

Yep.

Crowd control is a normal complement to any modern protest. And as I remember well from the late-Giuliani days in New York, crowd control sometimes gets heavy-handed when relationships between the police and the community are strained. But you do crowd control with horses, batons, and shields, not rifles. You point guns at dangerous, violent criminals, not people out for a march.

A number of wags have gotten mileage over the past few days out of joking that it's hard to tell if you're looking at photos of Missouri or Baghdad. But military veterans say the display of force from the cops last night went beyond any sound wartime practice.


Of course cops, like soldiers, must be prepared to use serious weapons from time to time. But there was no rioting last night in Ferguson. No looting. And it's difficult to imagine any scenario that would call for police officers to be dressed in the kind of military-style camo fatigues that are visible in many pictures from last night.

Millennial blames Boomer for all problems.

We should ask millennials to pay a little more in payroll taxes so that our senior citizens can have better access to health care and a living wage social security check.
