Heavy on the sarcasm, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld posted a series of tweets Saturday on the criticism directed at the police in response to the ongoing civil unrest in Ferguson, Mo.
Ironically, police were first accused of being heavy-handed with protesters, and then questioned for being passive when more looting took place Friday night.
It’s tough luck for shop keepers who don’t have the luxury to write a thoughtful op-ed on the militarization of the police.

I’m pleased with my brave editorial on the troubling police response to looting. I wrote it from the 23rd floor of my NYC condo.

“Boy these cops surely don’t know how to handle the scrutiny of a national media spotlight,” I say over brunch. Shall I instagram my eggs?

In a familiar rush to judgement, the liberal media has cast the police in the role of George Zimmerman as they try to elevate Michael Brown to Trayvon Martin-like status.
In an editorial published Thursday in Front Page Magazine, Matthew Vadum, author of the book, “Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts Are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers,” noted that the left is looking to use events in Ferguson “to advance its destructive, racially polarizing agenda.”

“It is no secret that radicals want blacks to hate the police because it makes it easier to fan the flames of discontent,” Vadum said. “The leftist narrative is that the police are ‘pigs,’ the armed wing of the white capitalist class that oppresses poor blacks.”
Nonetheless, Gutfeld’s message was not lost on his Twitter followers, based on some of the responses:
@greggutfeld Exactly! You freaking nailed it w/ that bit of sarcasm.

@greggutfeld @redsteeze 3 unmolested stores prove best policy is to “militarize” shop keepers.

@greggutfeld Maybe if the media wasn’t just trying to push the story one way & just report the facts it might be different. Lib media bs.

@greggutfeld Please make sure eggs are all “hard boiled” to discourage any unruly egg tossing! No need for things to get any messier.
