If you've ever seen a police force de-escalating a protest, it's pretty obvious - the cops have their helmets off, they chat with demonstrators, hand out bottles of water if it's hot, etc. Comparing that to the photos out of Ferguson - which show visors down, assault weapons readied, and a striking absence of visible names or badge numbers - it's hard not to get the impression that the police are trying to escalate the conflict. (That or they're completely incompetent - I'm not sure which is worse.) |

Given that they changed their police team and tactics to what you suggested should have happened in the first place gives us our answer, I think. Especially if you realise this is apparently so special that it has even reached Dutch news channels:
