At the end of the day, if we’re all Americans, we support peaceful protesters, we oppose rioters and looters and we think the officer who was involved should go to jail if he shot Mike Brown after he surrendered, then we agree on 95 percent of what matters. Sure, we can always find SOMETHING to disagree about, but there’s a man dead, there are parents grieving and there are good people in Ferguson who’ve had their lives turned upside down – so maybe we should emphasize where we’re on the same page instead of looking for any excuse to divide each other.

Isn't it interesting that in this summation a man who is supposed to be speaking for conservatism, can't manage to put the opposing proposition in there?

If the officer acted in accordance with the law and sound police procedure, then he should be absolved and go back to work.

Eh, no need to talk about that I suppose. Like hell!!!!

I doubt that that officer, no matter what comes of this, will ever work another day in law enforcement and will be lucky to find work as a janitor or fry cook. George Zimmerman has been fully acquitted and he hasn't worked a day since months before his trial started.

My thoughts exactly!

I don’t assume the cop shot the Jolly Teen Giant for no reason. Common sense and the video from the store shows his attitude towards the law.

The cop was doing what he was hired to do, and unless they can present evidence that it happened different than what the cop reported he should be back on the job.
