  1. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I suggest Congressional Hearings might be in order. But that means naming names of individuals that have exceeded their authority. It means criminal charges against said police forces. Those charges could easily be felonies.
    What has to happen first is everyone simply get off the streets so that they do not provide a target.
    Second, charges have to be brought in a court of law. Back it up with videos of what is going on.
    Internal Affairs have to be notified that said charges are in the works.
    The trouble with a military type force against a public that is angry is that it will backfire politically.

    In the case of a black minority community, it is likely to backfire into military action against the police if they continue in this manner to subdue the public. If this was done in an all white upper middle class neighborhood, you better believe those police should fear for their lives. There is more than one rifle in said communities and they will take action. The problem is that in the past the black population has allowed these police to walk all over them. I think that day is past.

    That means a lot of people are going to get hurt regardless of who wins.
    One man in authority can do harm to 100 men. But in the long run, those 100 men can do a lot more harm to that one man. IF you do not like how it is being handled there are options.
    If I were a merchant in this area, those rioters and thieves would be in a sorry position. I would simply bring theft charges against the lot of them backed up with night cameras showing them being thieves. That means jail time. Rioting does have legal penalties in our system of justice.
    The obvious answer is Ferguson will lose all of its merchant business and have to go 15 or 20 miles just to get groceries. This is not discrimination. It is simply good business to leave a place where people think they can steal with impunity.
    The long term result is no one will do business with them.
    Rioters are never in the right no matter what injustice has been done.
    Going against the news media is the biggest mistake of these police’s lives. That will get them put in jail somewhere down the road. That is where those congressional hearings are likely to start.
