It was another tense night in Ferguson, Mo., and Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) is of the opinion that the government’s response is making the problem worse.
Reaction was mixed:
@repjustinamash looters, police, and reporters all are fools in this ordeal.

@repjustinamash What part of “protect and defend the Constitution of the US” did they forget? Tyrannical doesn’t begin to describe the acts

@repjustinamash thank you. Please continue to speak out and push for federal intervention. The locals are clearly over their heads.

@MrsDigger @repjustinamash @toddstarnes there hasn't been looting for three days. The police are MAKING it escalate.

@repjustinamash @PGEddington All due respect, this result of DHS counter-terrorism funds to local police, funds approved by Congress.

@repjustinamash I don't agree with you on many things, but on this we absolutely agree. Thank you for speaking out.
