However I see little hope of the confilct spreading,
as the tyrants are directing their activities
against vulnerable black minorities and the
relatively well-off whites are not being aroused
sufficiently for the uprising to spread successfully
to the point that the desirability of militarized
police will be questioned much.<br clear="none">

<b><small>Militarized
police in
Ferguson, Mo.,
after the
August 2014
shooting death of
Michael Brown.</small></b></div>
<div
style="margin-bottom:1em;">Tear
gas, unrest,
controlling the press,
and the killing of
alleged innocents are
outcomes one would
expect politicians to
rationalize as
inevitable in a war
zone.</div>
<div
style="margin-bottom:1em;">But
these atrocities are
happening in American
cities — now in
Ferguson, Mo., in the
heart of the United
States.</div>
<div
style="margin-bottom:1em;">The
war is not against
tyrants who have
invaded America or
terrorists who commit
mass murder.</div>
<div
style="margin-bottom:1em;">No,
the war is one that
Democratic and
Republican politicians
are waging against
fellow Americans who
are hurting no one
else.</div>
<div
style="margin-bottom:1em;">The
War on Drugs is
frequently used to
justify police who
accost minorities
walking down the
street or otherwise
engaged in peaceful
behavior. This may
have been what
precipitated the
killing of 18-year-old
Michael Brown over the
weekend, leading to
riots and another
shooting on Wednesday.</div>
<div
style="margin-bottom:1em;">Although
all the facts of this
case are not yet
known, the War on
Drugs can be blamed
for breeding the
tension and resentment
that has led to the
dangerous rioting we
now see in Ferguson.</div>
<div
style="margin-bottom:1em;">"The
militarization of our
domestic police forces
must end," said
Nicholas Sarwark,
chair of the
Libertarian National
Committee. "The failed
War on Drugs must end.
And there's no
circumstance in which
any government
authority should
attempt to silence or
suppress the news
media or people
peacefully observing
police<span

<div
style="margin-bottom:1em;">So
far, police in
Ferguson have placed
two reporters under
arrest — one for the<span

class="yiv4885309711Apple-converted-space"> </span>and one for the<span
class="yiv4885309711Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Huffington Post</i><span
class="yiv4885309711Apple-converted-space"> </span>— along with an
observer, a St. Louis
alderman.</div>
<div
style="margin-bottom:1em;">The
Libertarian Party
calls on the St. Louis
County Police
Department to:</div>
<ul>
<li
style="margin-bottom:0.5em;">Release
the name of the
police officer who
shot Michael Brown.</li>
<li
style="margin-bottom:0.5em;">Let
the investigation
into the shooting
play out without
escalating tensions.</li>
<li
style="margin-bottom:0.5em;">Stop
arresting reporters
and observers in
blatant violation of
the First Amendment</li>
<li>Stand down and
withdraw the
militarized
response.</li>
</ul>
<div
style="margin-bottom:1em;">The
Libertarian Party also
denounces and demands
accountability for
protesters who
vandalize, loot, and
destroy private
property and thus
victimize innocent
small business owners.</div>
<div
style="margin-bottom:1em;">The
War on Drugs has been
the rationale for the
militarization of
domestic police
forces, a fact<span

extensively by<span
class="yiv4885309711Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Washington Post</i><span
class="yiv4885309711Apple-converted-space"> </span>reporter Radley Balko</a>.
The Libertarian Party
calls for repeal of
the National Defense
Authorization Act
(NDAA), which provides
for dispensation of
military equipment to
federal and state law
enforcement agencies
for "counter-drug
activities," and also
calls for immediately
ceasing the
acquisition and use of
military surplus
equipment and supplies
by domestic police
departments.</div>
<div
style="margin-bottom:1em;">America's
senseless and reckless
War on Drugs has
ruined thousands of
lives. It has failed
to serve any useful
purpose. It has failed
to reduce dangerous
use of drugs — and, in
fact, encourages drug
addiction. It has
failed to make our
streets safe — and has
made them dangerous.
It has failed to
institute justice —
and instead inflicts
continual miscarriages
of justice.</div>
<div
style="margin-bottom:1em;">The
Libertarian Party has
long advocated for an
end to the failed and
dangerous War on
Drugs. Twenty-seven
Libertarian candidates
running for federal
office in 2014, and
many more running for
state and local office
across the country,
have pledged to end
the War on Drugs if
elected.</div>
