Am I missing coverage of news media shoving mics in the face of law enforcement, and asking WTF are you doing about this? What is your plan? Is this like a military op in Iraq where we have to embed and get spoon fed stuff about "operational and personal security and we can't tell you what we are planning because . . ."? Or is it like a stand off in the city, where the perp is armed, only "in rural areas we don't surround people with SWAT and start negotiations because . . . well, this is different"?
I'm all for a peaceful resolution, and possibly even a "wait and wear down" tactic, if that is what this is. But I'd like to see a plan articulated. As well as how letting people and resources come and go plays into the overall strategy. Maybe I shouldn't know because if I know the occupiers would know, and maybe I don't have a right to know, but I should at least be told that much.
Unless and until I, as a member of the public, am told, I have every right to believe this is a clown show, not just by the occupiers, but by the government. And maybe nobody cares what I think. But they will when I Monday Morning Quarterback the outcome. They always do. And, if I don't see media questioning the government about the plan, then I can assume the media is FOS too.
Whatever, I'll write my representatives. Other than that, wake me when someone does something. :W:
