The police led us outside to a police van. Inside, there was a large man sitting on the floor between the two benches. He began screaming: “I can’t breathe! Call a paramedic! Call a paramedic!”Ryan and I asked the officers if they intended to help the man. They said he was fine. The screaming went on for the 10 to 15 minutes we stood outside the van.“I’m going to die!” he screamed. “I’m going to die! I can’t breathe! I’m going to die!”Eventually a police car arrived. A woman — with a collar identifying her as a member of the clergy — sat in the back. Ryan and I crammed in next to her, and we took the three-minute ride to the Ferguson Police Department. The woman sang hymns throughout the ride.Throughout this time, we asked the officers for badge numbers. We asked to speak to a supervising officer. We asked why we were being detained. We were told: trespassing in a McDonald’s.“I hope you’re happy with yourself,” one officer told me. And I responded: “This story’s going to get out there. It’s going to be on the front page of The Washington Post tomorrow.”And he said, “Yeah, well, you’re going to be in my jail cell tonight.”
I went to Ron Paul's websites to see if he had anything up about Ferguson.I feel you all tricked me into this.

Governor Jay Nixon @GovJayNixon Canceling all appearances at the @MoStateFair to visit North #STL County tomorrow. Statement to follow.
I'm so fucking tired.
Fair, but they had sniper rifles with their sights on cops.
Benji what do your fellow libertarians think about this? Haven't seen Ted Cruz or Rand Paul speak on this. where are the conservatives who feared military/government takeover?
You can find articles about Ferguson on the website of Reason, the libertarian magazine. But the politicians and conservative media figures who claim to be the most fervent advocates of individual freedom and to care the most about misuse of government power have been silent. One might be tempted to conclude they believe that when somebody’s grandson has to pay taxes on their inheritance, it’s a horrifying injustice that demands redress, but when somebody else’s grandson gets shot walking down the street, that’s just how things go sometimes.

Why aren’t libertarians talking about Ferguson?

QuoteWhy aren’t libertarians talking about Ferguson?easy answer: because doing so impinges on their right to be totally, authentically racist
QuoteWhy aren’t libertarians talking about Ferguson?"And by libertarians we mean Rand Paul and John Stossel. Also conservatives because that's the same right? And reason, which is talking about it but ignore that for now."
A small town of 21k and a police force of exactly 53 officers needs a mine-resistant vehicle
Look, no one cares about actual Libertarians, benji, we're just trying to talk about what a douchebag Rand Paul is.

To be fair, Bundy's gang wasn't burning crops or looting other lots. I don't mean to sound crass but this isn't exactly a 1:1 comparison.
