The Ferguson Police Department is the last department that officers throughout this nation would want to belong to.
Despite the fact that Officer Darren Wilson was completely exonerated, two officers were shot on Thursday.
From CNN.com:
State, county police take over Ferguson protest security after shooting
(CNN) With tensions running high after the shooting of two officers in Ferguson, Missouri, state and county police took over protest security in the St. Louis suburb Thursday.
St. Louis County Police and the Missouri State Highway Patrol are assuming “command of the security detail regarding protests,” St. Louis County Police said, while Ferguson Police will remain responsible for “routine policing services” in the city.
Meaning: the city was “taken over” by outside forces.
The officers who remain are there because they cannot readily leave, and they can do nothing right — at this point — in the eyes of the nation.
They are caught between belief and physicality.
And they are caught up in the lie that apparently won’t stop.
