"For veterans of the wars that the Ferguson protests so closely resemble, the police response has appeared to be not only heavy-handed but out of step with the most effective ways for both law enforcement and military personnel to respond to demonstrations. 'You see the police are standing online with bulletproof vests and rifles pointed at peoples chests,' said Jason Fritz, a former Army officer and an international policing operations analyst. 'That’s not controlling the crowd, that’s intimidating them.'" Thomas Gibbons-Neff in The Washington Post.
