1. In regard to the events in Ferguson I trust the local police forces and Anonymous to the same degree, which is to say not at all.

2. Sometimes I think the mythos of the masked superhero is too engrained in our popular culture. Both the police and Anonymous both see and portray themselves as heroes, but the lack of accountability makes them dangerous.

3. On the other hand I think the people on the ground informing us of the situation (both professional reporters and citizen journalists) are the true heroes. Information is the best weapon.
