I've never even had a cop say jack shit to me about the way I was walking.

Barb sounds like she's a bit on the wild side.

So it was them damned "outside agitators"?

Where have I heard that before?

Oh, yeah, now it's coming back to me.

"Outside agitators."

Dear Lord, not again. Not in 2014. Not in the US of A.

Thomas Jackson, the police chief of Ferguson, Missouri, appeared on Fox News last night and blamed the violence in his town on "outside agitators."

And it all came back.

George Wallace came back.

Wallace argued 50 years ago that Alabama never really had racial issues at all. "We have never had a problem in the South except in a few very isolated instances and these have been the result of outside agitators," he wrote in 1964.

Infamous Birmingham Police Commissioner Eugene "Bull" Connor came back, too. Connor rationalized the use of dogs and fire hoses on black protesters by blaming "outside agitators." You might have heard of one.

"The city of Birmingham has been under siege from outside agitators led by Martin Luther King," Connor said in 1963. "This bunch has done what they wanted to do, stir up trouble among whites and negro citizens ... What we need is for the president to show sincerity in wanting peace in Birmingham and get the outside agitators to leave us alone, and let us work out our problems locally."

I'm hearing that Brown was 35 feet away from the Police cruiser when he was shot.

Here's what we do know: A police officer and a black man interacted, multiple shots were fired, and Michael Brown was 35 feet away from the police car when struck by the shots that killed him.

Al Sharpton and his ilk are pretty easy to rail against.

Too bad we can't deal with them outside agitators like we did 50 years ago.

The police chief seems like a small town buffoon. That doesn't necessarily reduce the likelihood that Michael Brown wasn't a thug who assaulted a cop.

Some interesting stuff on Ferguson policing in Huffpo.

If that indeed was him in the video manhandling that little Asian feller than he was a Thug in need of a good ass whooping.

But not in need of being shot dead from 35 feet.

And the post I made that you keep responding to was directed at Wasilladude because he's a racist.
