Two cops were shot in Ferguson during a protest against the police murdering people on a regular basis, nationwide. I do want to emphasize that this is not an endorsement of what happened, but it is a statement saying, " that's what happens". These are consequences. The idiot police chief in Ferguson had the lack of brains to say that the cops were shot "just because they were cops". No shit, genius. Why are Black people shot almost daily in the land of the free? Why do the cops go in and brutalize entire neighbourhoods? Why do many people see them as an occupying army, and not as "public servants"? Because they are not servants of the public, they are servants of capital, ensuring the regular functioning of an oppressive system. And where there is oppression, there is resistance.
