On Crime: Violent Ferguson police like response to foreign uprisings

The chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus said the actions of the police in Ferguson reminded her of wars abroad. "An elected official was arrested, journalists are being assaulted and innocent, unarmed individuals are having weapons pointed in their faces for merely being outside of their homes," said Rep. Marcia Fudge. "What I saw last night reminded me of violent responses to uprisings in countries around the world, not here in my own backyard. We are supposed to be better than that."
