In Ferguson we are finally getting to see the glimpse(just a peek) of the tyranny creeping up on us in America.

- Fully militarized police with a Tank(!) and multiple snipers with assault rifles confronting unarmed civilian protesters.[1]

- Tear gassing and arresting reporters

- Al-Jazera news crew was shot at and tear gassed [2]

- No fly zone over all of Ferguson

- Street level blockades & teargassing of porches to keep people inside

- No badges, tags or any identifying marks on police

- etc, etc,

This is a disgrace for America and a wake up call for all of us.
