The Michael Brown shooting was about race but it was not racially motivated.
" a handful of folks"
I watched Barack Obama inject himself into the Michael Brown grand jury news and I am confounded but not surprised. Obama had the chance to separate fact from fantasy and he did the opposite. The Michael Brown shooting was NOT racially motivated but something else was.
The shooting of Michael Brown was caused by Michael Brown. The forensic evidence was that Brown's blood was present on Officer Darren Wilson's collar and his thigh. There was blood found on the outside of the police cruiser and on the inside of the cruiser. Brown had a wound to his hand and gunshot residue was present on his hand, indicating a close proximity wound. Wilson had suffered injuries to his face. Brown had his hand or hands IN the cruiser, struck Wilson and struggled with Officer Wilson for Wilson's weapon. Several black witnesses testified that Brown turned and approached Wilson at which time Wilson fired the fatal shots.
These were the facts as presented by Prosecutor McCulloch. Here it is if you wish to watch it.

Never missing a racially charged opening, Barack Obama turned it into a circus.

He said some Americans will agree with it and some will disagree. His body language made very clear on which side he came down. There was powerful irony listening to Obama plea for peaceful protest juxtaposed against a mob trying to overturn a police car.
He asks the police to show "care and restraint." (1:35)
Then Obama opened the race can. Obama expounded on the distrust of police by communities and then suggested that communities should be policed by those of their own race- a return to segregation.
There is a "deep distrust" between the police and "communities of color." (2:50)
Then he goes on about the need for criminal justice reform. (about 4 minutes in) You can guess what that means.
He says these are the lessons of Ferguson. Not once does he address the crimes committed. Not once does he speak to personal responsibility. Not once. He turned a theft and an assault on a police officer into a racial issue. He could have said to America that this wasn't a race based shooting. He didn't. He made it worse.
"America isn't everything that it could be" (7:00)
The media needs to ignore the violence. (8:00)
"There is inevitably going to be some negative reaction and it'll make for good TV..." (8:50)
The questions asked following McCulloch's accounting of the evidence were monumentally stupid.
Never mind the forensics. Is the decision racially based? And what about you? Whys it this justice? (33:00)
Should police shoot someone whose hands are at their side or up in the air? (34:00)
(A black teenager testified: “Dang if that kid didn’t start running right at the cop like a football player. Head down.” )
The police in Ferguson kill black youths with impunity (35:00)
And perhaps the single stupidest remark:
"there is not a single law in the state of Missouri that protects and values the life of this young man..."(35:50)

Every network is running the racist Benjamin Chump......pathetic.
“”there is not a single law in the state of Missouri that protects and values the life of this young man...”(35:50) “
Yep that was a stunner.
Right now.....special reports in Miami on every station.....
But no one will explain just what kind of change they're talking about.
More free money & government assistance? Change laws so they have the right to attack police, white folks and each other without repercussion? Legalize theft so they can take what strikes their fancy, regardless of who it happens to belong to?
When will someone ANYONE in the media ask the black community what constructive action they themselves are willing to take to correct the issues facing their community? What is their responsibility?
They’ve always had the excuse of saying The Man was “keeping them down”, until 2008.
Actually, the Mexicans taking over and, at least, putting an end to this nonsense will be the one positive outcome of the reconquista.
Why not ask "what would a black office have done in the same situation?" If you think for one moment a black cop would not have shot the kid, you are delusional.
“Even on FNC the commentators are talking about ‘change’ that needs to happen.
But no one will explain just what kind of change they’re talking about.”
If you knew what kind of change they want you would be shocked.
> The real reason Michael Brown is dead
He’s dead because his criminal deeds caught up with him.
The real race war is coming, and it will be Blacks vs Latinos.
How about this ‘change’.
Black people actually obeying the law.
CNN and MSNBC are using the term “REFUSED” as if the grand jury was obligated to indict and they somehow intentionally ignored evidence to be a automated rubber stamp kangaroo jury.
This is not a single incident or conflict on this entire planet that President Obama can not make worse.
It was painful to listen to Obama, who is a racist to the core, try to appear evenhanded.
Once the left realizes they aren't enough of 'em and nobody gives enough of a crap about their self caused grievances to kick start the revolution they'll be 100% dumped as the #1 victim group.
What happened to Officer Wilson's "blown-out eye socket?"
When they do take over, they won’t put up with this silly 12-15% African-American ‘majority’.
