Havin waited to make a comment on the events. Not wanting to jump in until a medical exam or more then conjecture in the news.

My observation so far, the shooting needs to be investigated by the Justice Department. I believe that at first a bit of stonewalling and how dare you question the police was going on. But now the events have morphed into a confrontation over the inequities in justice in our society. The powerlessness certain groups feel in our unequal justice system.

I know from my experiences in how some law enforcement make a judgment on appearances. Learned to keep my mouth shut and eyes down. Now should I have to just because of long hair beard and drive a van? In a perfect world no, but this one is a long way from one.

Now should there be the unrest and confrontation. I think the media being there and 24/7 coverage is adding fuel to the unrest. But I also think with the military surplus gear being given to local PD this too has escalated the events to a new level. By the officials thinking we have the power to force our will on the citizens. No talking and seeing the other point of views.

I also think being cynical person, that the equipment is being preposition and prepared for the near future. Because with the war on the middle class and the moneyed class fearing soon to be unable to control the electorate. They figure that unrest will become all more common.
