Clearly, the police state actions in Ferguson are a major story - not limited to Feguson, St. Louis, or even MO. Militarization of police is a national issue, for sure.
But, seriously, All Ferguson All the time is too much. There are other issues, even more important issues.
The non-stop coverage and focus on brutal, illegal etc. police action in one St. Louis suburb is blinding us to everything else.
Even a cursory list of what is being missed includes:
Climate change
Ukraine
Mid-term elections
Fukashima (yes it is still "leaking" thousands of tons of radiation into the ocean)
ISIS advances in Iraq
Israel invasion of Gaza
Detroit
NSA
DoJ whistleblower campaign
John Woo getting honored by Univ of California,
TransPacificTrade Pact
etc etc
I repeat, I am not downplaying the police state and the racial aspects of it, but there are other issues just as important if not more so going on.
One of the points of Shock Doctrine was how emotional issues can blind the public to actions that have long reaching consequences.
Just saying . . .
