not right but that's the way it seems to be.

I wish more people would ask these questions!

One can't get more elegant than the good, the bad and the ugly.

the events didn't happen in a city. IMO. Different situations. And you can't drive a tank through the woods. I'm sure there were hundreds of law enforcement folks involved.

I'm from Pennsylvania too, and I've watched this whole thing unfold with horror. It was like a primitive war game, and it seems to me that once the first horrible ambush happened, the state troopers and officials all over were just sucked into playing "the game." I don't know what reflection was involved, but from the outside, it seemed to me that they just marched in step with the shooter, like it was a long rehearsed scene. In terms of psy-ops, Frein had them running for him. -- Right down to the using the dead trooper's hand-cuffs on him, the whole thing played out like a well worn script.

How easy is it to provoke the (mostly male) human animal to play these games? How easy would it be to set up this sort of thing as a major distraction to other things going on.

And to your point about comparing it with Ferguson. Amen! If Frein had not been white... well it would have been a different story, that's for sure!

in the immediate aftermath.

People could not even go home.

That did not happen in Ferguson.

Not entirely true. And how can you POSSIBLY draw a comparison between this and the shooting in Ferguson??????

Makes a huge difference. I don't know the PA gov but clearly he ran the situation better then the Missouri Governor.

the populace in PA did not think Frein was being unjustly targeted by police. They just wanted the police to capture him and for it to be over. Not that the way the police handled the aftermath in Ferguson was right.

Bundy Ranch still presents the best dichotomy.

including little birds all over the skies , thermal imaging , dogs

You name it

My cousins live in the area and they were told not to leave their homes for days.


Are you out of line. No! They are different situations but the fact is in Ferguson the police overreacted and acted criminally.
