Almost everyone who has paid attention to recent events in Ferguson has agreed the initial police response to public protests there was disproportionate, to say the least.
It's been alleged the former police chief in Ferguson studied "counter-terror" measures in Israel in 2011
Does anyone else find it ironic that Black Americans are now targeted by anti-terror funding and training originally meant to control the victims of ethnic cleansing in Palestine?
"The superficially coincidental images coming from both Gaza and Ferguson this month have created some surprising and sudden currents of solidarity.
"Many have looked on with amazement, for example, as Gazans offer tips via twitter to those who have been involved in the (Ferguson) uprising and faced the absurd and excessively militarized response to it by Ferguson police.
"And participants in 'peaceful' vigils and more militant confrontations in Ferguson have invoked Gaza by now a dozens times."
