Like so many of you, I have been stunned by the images of a militarized police force in Ferguson, MO harassing, tear gassing, arresting and even beating citizens who are protesting the police shoot...
...Let me be clear – these police actions are absolutely wrong from a human perspective too. And, from what I have seen, they have trampled on the people’s right to assemble, freedom of the press, free speech, destruction of personal property, unlawful arrests and likely dozens of other rights I’m not even familiar with.
But, strictly from a PR perspective, they are cutting of their own noses to spite there faces....
An epic PR and policing failure. Contrast Ferguson police actions with Missouri State Police efforts to reach out, communicate and deescalate the crisis.
