Separated by Perspective: Ferguson, Missouri Update: Michael Brown was a suspect in a gas station robbery just before he was shot?

How police would like to see themselves…

How police are seen by many in Ferguson

I have no idea what really happened the night Michael Brown was killed. I suspect very few people know. Obviously we need to find out.[Update, I have a strong suspicion he was up to no good, see below]

There is a huge mistrust of the police. Why are they often immune from liability?

Rioting and looting in response to a death like this is completely unacceptable (and self destructive).

The over the top military style police response is not helping to deescalate the situation (it is arguably making it worse).

And the media sensationalizing of it just adds fuel to the fire.  And President Obama? His leadership has not been exactly helpful. Especially when he is phoning it in from Martha's Vineyard.

THIS! RT @ExurbanKevin: Out of control cops, out of control rioters, a media w/ an out of control sense of entitlement... Can they all lose?

This however gives me a little hope:

Update:
If true this certainly lends support to the police version of events when Brown was shot.

Below is a visual representation of how Andrew Sullivan feels about President Barack Obama.

It is good Andrew Sullivan is expressing this love for Barack Obama, because he is not feeling it as much lately.

I wondered what happened to Goat Boy...

Goat Boy, is that you?  

Of course this whole dressing up like an animal thing reminds me of that scene in Top Secret (the ending of that scene is cut off but it did not "end" up so well...but of course that depends on your subjective view point).  That scene in Top Secret might explain Chevy Chase's generally bad attitude!
