BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – On his Wednesday show, MSNBC’s Ed Schultz wondered whether “disarming the police” is an actual possibility in Ferguson amid probable changes to the police department after a report showing instances of racism. “I’ll give you this one: What about disarming the police?” Schultz said stunningly. “What about just having them carry nightsticks and the authority to arrest? I know the right wing’s gonna think I’m crazy for thinking, but if you really want change, you have to institutionally show it to the people that you want to do this,” Schultz added. “That would be part of a big social engineering project if Ferguson’s going to turn around. That’s how I see it.” He further suggested that if an unarmed police officer is confronted by a suspect carrying a gun, the cop should immediately leave the area for at least 30 minutes, and return when either the suspect has put the weapon away, or has also left the area.
