Despite having effectively forced the ouster of two top administrators on the strength of tenuous discrimination claims, protesters at the University of Missouri are now reportedly setting their sights on members of the military.

Some critics of the protest have suggested that those being targeted should use the protesters’ tactic, i.e., involving law enforcement, against them.
