@VanJones68 @CNN @cnnbrk Military Police were brought in because state/count/local did not have enough officers. MP's use Humvees.

@VanJones68 @CNN @cnnbrk You should open a small business in Ferguson and then thank the MP's for saving it from rioters..

@VanJones68 @CNN Psst. Van, buddy, no one else around you is wearing one… You've been pranked.

@VanJones68 @CNN Also, the seals already been pulled off the bottom of your canister… depending on when that was, that mask may not help..
