The scenario is simple. Officer Wilson is offered a job, say as deputy in Nowheresville, Idaho. He accepts. Word gets out that he is now working there; some community agitators decide to take a field trip.

Now, all you need is some inside intelligence — when is Wilson liable to take the call to investigate a disturbance. (If that intelligence is lacking, or is inadequate, the scenario still works — just repeat until he DOES respond to a call.) Once he shows up in uniform — ambush.

Heck, the man is vulnerable to ambush right now, whether he’s in uniform or not. His name and face are known.

In principle, I agree with you. The man did his job, and is being figuratively crucified for it. That’s not just, that’s not right. But I see no way around it, just as George Zimmerman will be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life.

“There are Americans who are deeply disappointed, even angry. It’s an understandable reaction.”

Frankly, if he doesn’t go back, we lose. He did his job an was not supported by the citizenry.

Although some news outlets are quick to say that race wasn’t a factor; even though they don’t list the race of the criminals.

This was from the Instapundit’s site

“SO WHY ALL THE FERGUSON HOOPLA? Last time the Dems and Sharpton made a big deal of a shooting, it was the Trayvon Martin case, hyped to keep up black turnout for 2012. But now there’s not an election. So why Ferguson, and why now? Polling indicates that most people aren’t all that sympathetic, and protests that tie up Interstates, etc. aren’t going to attract swing voters.
But it’s not about swing voters. It’s about the base. And it’s not about the Democratic Party’s base, but about certain leaders’ base within the Democratic Party. This may be best understood as an intra-party struggle. Obama is the champion of the urban-black wing of the party, and because of him that wing has been on top. But his star is fading, black voters are beginning to realize that they haven’t benefited economically, and the next Dem nominee – whether it’s Hillary Clinton, Jim Webb, or Elizabeth Warren – will be from the white gentry-liberal wing of the Democratic Party. The riots, the marches, the traffic-blocking are a way of telling them that the Sharpton wing is still a force to be reckoned with, and to improve its bargaining power between now and 2016. At least, that’s the only way this – not at all spontaneous – street theater makes sense.”

I do not think it was a coincidence that the National Guard was not called in from the beginning. Nor do I think it was a coincidence that with over three months to prepare, federal, state, and local authorities were spectacularly unprepared.

The associations and linkages are too obvious and numerous for even any casual observer, except the main stream media of course.

Well…… I don’t know whether Wilson owned that house, but if he did and the house got torched, I’m sure that he would make out much better (fire insurance) than he would by trying to sell it.
