Noam Chomsky is an American linguist, philosopher, political commentator and author of over 100 books. In this video, Chomsky responds to a question about the situation in Ferguson, Missouri, where 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot and killed by police officer Darren Wilson. Chomsky says: “What’s happening in Ferguson is a reenactment of 500 years of American history… Militarization was one of the techniques of crushing the slave movement and everything has followed from it. Now it’s incarceration and militarization of police.”
