"Given the racial disparities in our criminal justice system"

Wonder if Rand has any idea why that's the case?

Consider.

Paul appears to have taken sides without knowing what, exactly, happened. He is becoming an expert panderer.

Cruz' response limits judgment to only those things known to have happened (e.g., reporters arrested) and otherwise rightly asks for restraint...until we know what actually happened.

Which is the more presidential?

Did you notice, though, that it wasn’t Ted Cruz who buddied up with McCaskill? And who says the investigation, run by Eric Holder, will come within miles of the truth?

[trisham]

He’s an egotist like his father. He’ll never leave.

[2ndDivisionVet]

See my #8.

[beandog]

I could go for that.

“Given the racial disparities in our criminal justice system, it is impossible for African-Americans not to feel like their government is particularly targeting them,”

How many times in the past 50 years have "WHITE" people in America attempted to redress their grievances against THE STATE by rioting, looting, burning, burgling and robbing PRIVATE PROPERTY?

How many times in the past 50 years have "BLACK" people in America attempted to redress their grievances against THE STATE by rioting, looting, burning, burgling and robbing PRIVATE PROPERTY?

Dear Dr. Rand,

Back in the Jurassic, when you were a youth, you would not have been shot for mouthing off to a cop. However, my good Doctor, had you wrestled with a cop for his gun, (which is alleged by some to have occurred) you damn well would have been shot.

So until we get some straight stories here, why don't you and Barry just STFU. Mp

Paul accepts the narrative of the Left.

As such he cannot be the man to lead us out of the hash our society currently finds itself in, a bloody mess of the Left's making.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Paul said that when he was young, he might have “smarted off” but he “wouldn’t have expected to be shot.”

Randy is "acting stupidly." Again.

[CatherineofAragon]

Completely agree.

Look at him, he’s even teaming up with leftists to get his PC face front and center.

[trisham]

Rand Paul was born in 1963. You may be thinking of Ron Paul. Ron was born in 1935.

[Jagdgewehr]

Know this. One day those militarized police are coming after you.

Yes. You're right in stating a militarized police force will target patriots who stand against tyranny. However, Ferguson is not the model of such a conflict. If the officer had been black and the thug a white kid? This is just a black thing going on.

[Bronzy]

Have any cell phone videos showed up yet? Why not? Seems everyone wants to video contacts with the law. Perhaps the videos show the police making a right move.

[Kenny Bunk]

Rand Paul was born in 1963.

In that case, I have boots older than that wise-aSS kid. No wonder he is making such stupid remarks.

[trisham]

LOL! I hear you.

Rand the Panderer

[skeeter]

He even seems oblivious to the left/media cabal’s true intention in this Fergeson situation, ginning up the black vote in order to save the senate in November.
