things done? should the federal government come in? should eric holder send people from the civil rights division down to ferguson? let me tell you, i wrote a letter on august 18th last year saying that the federal government should intervene because i had no confidence in our state policing nor do i have confidence in our st. louis county policing at this point. yes, we have to be able to exercise our rights. and for anyone to suggest stopping protests that would be against the first amendment. your own crew has been offended by losing their right in the first amendment. journalists have had their first amendment take friend them. if you don t want it taken from your colleagues in the press, i m pretty sure my constituents who are peacefully protesting don t want the first amendment taken away from them. there is no cause when it comes to the first amendment or any other constitutional right. i m not talking about violating their first amendment rights.
