No Fly

Lovely place:

Authorities in Ferguson, Missouri, instituted on Tuesday a no-fly zone over the suburban town where tensions have been high in the wake of the fatal shooting of an unarmed teenager by a police officer. The off-limits airspace, which extends to 3,000 feet over the town north of St. Louis, was requested by the St. Louis County Police Department, which is investigating the killing of Michael Brown, 18, by a Ferguson Police Department officer.

No aircraft have been hit, but police chopper pilots did see shots fired from various locations during looting and riots that took place on Sunday night from about 10 p.m. to midnight


There is absolutely nothing wrong with that suburb that can't be fixed with a mid-yield tactical nuclear warhead. It's kind of like the Fifth Ward in Houston: the only reason we haven't burned it to the ground is the fact that the denizens would flee the fire and infest surrounding areas. You have to get the whole nest.

We have a big problem when police response resembles a military exercise. Tanks, fully automatic weapons, drones, etc., really have no place in law enforcement. What kind of 'bad guy' is this in preparation for? I guarantee it is not for thieves and purse snatchers, but for citizens who have decided they have had enough oppression and try to enact change. The US is transitioning into a police state, subtly and at a creeping pace so as to not raise alarm.
