Reporters Arrested And Assaulted In Ferguson As Police Step All Over 1st Amendment:[politicususa.com]  If there is a handbook on how NOT to handle a delicate situation like the one in Ferguson, local law enforcement is apparently following it to a tee. First, officers on the scene allowed Brown’s dead body to lay on the ground for at least four hours before removing him as they were more worried about getting the shooting officer to safety and securing the scene. The following evening, a large police presence was at the location where a candlelight vigil was held. The sight of dozens of cops, some already decked out in riot gear, caused tensions to boil over and eventually lead to the rioting and looting in the area. Monday evening is when we saw local police start treating Ferguson like a war zone. Every evening since we’ve seen police officers, dressed in military-style uniforms and carrying assault rifles, aggressively engage protesting citizens. They’ve utilized tear gas, rubber bullets and stun grenades while driving around in large armored vehicles.
