Pondering Ferguson and Cliven Bundy

I'm having trouble today figuring something out. Why is it that the government force used by Darren Wilson against Michael Brown was justified and yet the government force against Cliven Bundy is not justified? The former has seen howls of support from conservatives and the latter shrieks of government intrusion. Both men broke the law yet one is dead and the other is still getting a pass.

So, I'm wondering how conservatives would react if the black people of Ferguson took up arms against the police as the "freedom" fighters at Clive Bundy's ranch are doing right now.

Well, let me ask you a question and see if you can figure it out for yourself.

Which law did Brown break that immediately resulted in the police using lethal force upon him?

Was it robbery? Jaywalking?

Or was it felonious assault upon a police officer?

Now, have any of the Bundy people committed felonious assault upon the police?


There you have it.

Let's see, the government you say? Not, the U.S. BLM versus a municipal police department? I thought it was anti-government kooks who construed all government as some terrible monolithic power?
