The proper response to someone being killed is to go through our establish legal system. If a student my son knows were to be killed by the police in the town where they attend school (the police there are VERY rough), we would NOT allow our son to hit the streets in protest no matter what. And, we would not join him in that protest. We would not allow him to tear up someone else's property because he was angry about the death and neither would we as parents. So, what is wrong with this picture? The people involved in the rioting in Ferguson, Missouri clearly don't have a value system of any kind nor do they do they have any respect for rule of law.
The only thought they have is that they can do what they please and if you disrespect them or offend them in some way, they can beat you or kill you. The attitude is a feral one, whoever is strongest gets it all. Whatever happened to taking matters through courts of law? Now, it appears that if someone is black, they have a right to beat the hell out of anyone who disagrees with them. I'm not interested in that lifestyle.
Agreed.
We also have the Ferguson Police Chief saying on TV that when the officer stopped Brown he had no idea of the robbery and instead stopped him because he and his friend were walking down the middle of the road. So we still don’t know exactly what happened.
Looking at the outside of USA world a person can see many countries/cultures that display the same societal behavior as some areas with their cultures in the USA. It takes me back many years when the Nobel prize winner Shockley wrote about different cultures/people having different societal bell curve distribution curves. He was ostracized from the science community along from the general populace. He never claimed that there were never any overlapping of the separate curves as to good and bad. He was just making the case that there are inheritable differences eg. Oriental, Anglo-Saxon, African . Going back thousands of years it was recognized that there were inherent cultural differences. Even Mohammed built his religion on this fact. The integration of people’s inherent differences with intentions much like the Tower of Babel did not fuse a one world society. We in the USA are experiencing Shockley’s bell distribution curves and do not recognize such along with the consequences.
