Two police officers in Ferguson, MO were shot Wednesday evening at a protest against alleged racism in the department and the city itself.

It was not enough that the Department of Justice had exonerated former officer Darren Wilson. No–the mob, told by President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder that Ferguson was still guilty of racism, wanted “justice.”
