The Kenyan from Indonesia could not have become Usurper without a LOT of help.

It’s almost as if some people don’t want to hear the message.

Yeah - the thugs and those who worship them don't want to hear the message that, if you commit violence against innocents, you will run afoul of the police and maybe earn yourself a space at the local cemetery if you are stupid/thuggish enough to violently resist them....

His rap sheet shows a lot of anti-social, criminal behavior.

Michael Brown’s death was, oh-so-sadly, not an isolated incident, and the Black Lives Matter movement grew to raise awareness, and look for justice.

1. Not an isolated incident? True, there are many stats showing that young black men will attack police officers of any ethnicity and suffer fatal consequences.

2. Justice? Justice was delivered in a court of law, with all the evidence laid before a jury of peers, including black citizens. What the street lawyers and black racists want is street justice, i.e., retribution for the perceived wrong and retaliation.

Statistics should make anyone do a double-take. Over and over again, completely innocent people going about their business being shot and killed, and the officers are often acquitted.

Innocent? Completely innocent? Every time I read of one of these fatal altercations, the LEO has made a legitimate, articulate stop for a criminal transgression. Even after the incident has transpired, the perp is found to have been in possession of some contraband. In the words of Little Bill, The Unforgiven, "innocent of what?"

Niggaz just got to keep it real, which means riots and mass looting at least several times a year, that's just a natural fact. The problem is you can't take the "African" out of "African Americans".

They were rioting during obama’s eight years. I don’t see how that would be any different. It’s what criminals do.

Don’t have a voice? Oh, boo hoo. Try paying a buttload of money in taxes and not having a voice.

I would venture to say that rejection of a society’s laws is what constitutes warfare. When done en masse, as in a riot, it just becomes more visible.

What was the lesson of Fergusion?

The very fake is very skilled at creating a false narrative to advance Barry Soetoro’s agenda
