The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?

Certainly any time in America that an unarmed suspect is fatally shot by a policeman of the opposite race, there is a need for concern and a quick and full inquiry of the circumstances leading to such a deadly use of force. That said, there is something disturbing about the demagogic efforts to rush to judgment in Ferguson, Mo. While it is understandable to deplore the militarization of the police that might accentuate rising tensions on the street, and to note that a mostly white police force might be less sensitive to a majority African-American populace, there is as yet not much evidence that the antithesis — a more relaxed approach to crowd control under the direction of a sensitive African-American law-enforcement official — has so far resulted in an end of the street violence or of the looting of stores. Too little police deterrence can be just as dangerous as too much.
It is also an American tradition that those under suspicion are considered innocent until the evidence is gathered, sifted, and adjudicated. Instead, the officer in question has more or less been tried and found guilty by those on the street (some of whom are calling for his death) and the media who reports on them. The governor has been particularly demagogic in blasting as character disparagement the logical release of a video showing the deceased minutes before the shooting robbing a store and brutally intimidating a clerk half his size — a fact naturally of some relevance in the ensuing disputed events.

This is the Left’s second bite at the Trayvon apple.
What in the ‘H’ is “opposite race”? That’s a new one on me.
Our ‘Face in the Crowd’ (Probably worthy of its own thread)
Bullcrap!
What does "opposite race" (what the hell does that even mean?) have to do with it? Either the suspect was doing violence and needed to be shot, or not. "Race" is irrelevant.
TO HELL WITH RACE BAITERS AND RACE MONGERS.
They do nothing but stir up trouble.
VDH is a better man than this; he really coughed up a hairball this time.
Democratic get out the vote maneuver? Not the shooting, but finding an event to fan the flames and turn into a raging bonfire.
The looters don’t understand that the police are saving them from whitey. I won’t hesitate a second to protect my family and neighbors. If it means burning through 5k rounds from an M60, so be it.
Because the revolutionists know their useful idiots. "Rush to judgment" is important to establish The Narrative.
Two points -
(1) Reichstag fire
(2) Ends Justify the Means
And a fatally flawed one.
As the left is discovering, again, for the umpteenth time, that speculation and wishful thinking is always trumped by facts. They have no use for due process.
Suddenly they look dumber; if such a thing is possible.
