State, county police take over Ferguson protest security after shooting

     There were two police officers standing guard outside Ferguson police headquarters who were shot in cold blood in Ferguson, Missouri. State and county police took over protest security in the St. Louis suburb Thursday. Ferguson Police will remain responsible for routine policing services in the city. They are currently investigating multiple suspects in search for the assailant. Many of the protestors are saying that this was a random act of violence from a radical individual. The protestors say the believe in resolving their issues without violence. This also isn't the first time that the police have had to handle protest security. 

    In my opinion, I think that the police should be stepping in to try and put an end to the violence. Two officers, who were standing outside where they would feel safest, were shot. This kind of violence should be stopped and I think if the county and state police need to step in then so be it. These people should not feel free to cause this kind of damage and face no prosecution.  

    This relates to our class because of the government and police stepping in. There are times where we believe that it isn't okay for police and government to step in and then there are times like these where it is necessary. The power of assembly and petition is not being used correctly considering the violence so authorities stepping in seems appropriate.
