Ferguson is an example of how the media and some politicians work together to undermine local police agencies in order to make narrow ideological points
With Ferguson in flames and mobs running rampant, it became apparent to everyone--except the liberals and libertarians--that the media-hyped "militarization" of the police was not the problem. Instead, the problem in Ferguson was, and is, a criminal element doing drugs and determined to engage in anti-police violence. The additional problem is outside agitation.
