Wesley Lowery’s Twitter is worth a look tonight. Looks like some reasonable police are finally on the ground in Ferguson.

Chris Hayes is reporting from Ferguson. Hopefully, at night fall things will remain calm but as of now, it’s like a block party. .

The “last night vs tonight” photos are amazing.

Shocking, how relaxed people get when not facing down a militia in their front yards.

No doubt Hannity was hoping for a bloodbath.

@Violet:
Indeed; for example, this pair, retweeted in Lowery’s twitter stream.

We can effect change. It takes too long. It costs too much in terms of blood and treasure.
But we can effect positive change.
Try not to forget this.

Apparently the Missouri Highway Patrol have taken over street policing duties from the Ferguson PD.
As long as this kind of change can be forced by national media coverage, we’re not fully locked into a police state yet. America still seems to me to be very much in a pre-fascist condition…but we ain’t there yet.

I watched this all night and it was such a relief.

@mclaren: You would consider a paper cut a “pre-decapitation condition.”
