Damn, it must be getting a lot worse.

Good. It's about time. They don't respect people. I've got no patience for their crap.

People shouldn't be expected to get away with violent rioting and looting just because they're mad.

At least two mp companies.

Wow, that could be as many as 380 MP's if just two companies.

My guess would be an augmentation of about 200 to 250. Just basing that on the
Particular companies and that not every soldier in them will go on duty.

Its important to remember that although MP's they arent police. They wont have the power to arrest people (unless deputized) and they may not even be allowed to carry their 'big guns'.

However, I'd put good money on them having better discipline than the police have displayed

Damn, it must be getting a lot worse.

Along with releasing the video and name on Friday, the leaks keep coming....from Ferguson PD. Safety isn't their priority.

The time has come that whatever it takes to bring the situation under control, go it. It's plainly a minority of thugs that are riling up the people and it's got to be subdued so that the people are following the law.

Peaceful protests are fine, but the people that are protesting have to realize they are being used to cover for the rioters and looters. Keep the protests for daytime only.
