The writer speaks, I think, for non-negro America.

Agree. That was a well written concise summary of the truth of the matter.

Do Al, Jesse and Spike speak for Negro America?

Instead of basing reaction on the facts as ascertained by the investigation and grand jury decision, some people came back to their pre-existing belief – that the police are racists who target blacks.

Some people like The Emperor in his halftime speech, he was really pissed off.

We speak to the police politely, we comply with their orders, we don’t have a problem.

In way too many places, the cops don't return the courtesy. It amazes me that so many small government conservatives love this part of big government so much.

And, the Grand Jury got it right in this case.

Naaah. We don’t need more police. What we need is an honest appraisal of what they can and cannot realistically do. And more importantly, what they SHOULD do.

Fergadishu and other communities like it are stuck on stupid. They’re stuck on criminality. There is nothing that police can do under those circumstances absent establishing what is, in effect, a long term armed occupation. Police were designed to be peace officers, helping the lawful community deal with a relatively small amount of criminality.

I’m not interested in paying for or justifying a police presence to protect criminals from criminals.

I agree .. most people have no clue. I tell people .. go watch (and study) a few hundred episodes of COPS .. and then .. just maybe you’ll understand a little about what’s really going on.

When you teach children the COPS hate you and want to kill you .. just what do you expect those children to do ..??

The problem is the continued indoctrination of minority children .. into a group of hating, fighting, envious, thieving, killing THUGS. These children deserve better.

So true!
I told my hubby last night that the less we watch it on TV and the less the media focuses on it, the thugs and Obama and Holder will lose their grip on the situation. They WANT attention..... and I for one won’t give them the time of day. It’s shameful.
They need to be dealt with within the law!

These black leaders need to understand that they’ll never get the “change” they seek until they start rioting in “white” upper class neighborhoods...

(yeah, I’m bad, I KNOW the consequences of that action)

It starts at the top. You may argue semantics on whether Obama engineered or aided and abetted the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown aftermaths but the the reality is that Obama and Eric Holder, in the last six years, have poisoned the well of racial harmony in this country.

Obama said in 2009, that even though he didn't know the facts yet in the black professor Gates, Cambridge incident, he felt comfortable in saying in a national press conference, that "the police acted stupidly". So instead of siding with law enforcement, he sided with the so-called black "victim". That set the tone and sends a message for how blacks see race and their relations with police. Saying that if he had a son, he would look like Trayvon, was a stupid thing to say and showed that he sided with the black thug. And urging and egging on the protestors in Ferguson in a meeting in Oval Office, instead of making a statement in support of the police officer, Wilson, showed bad leadership.

Eric Holder said in 2009, in his position as Attorney General, that "America is a nation of racist cowards". That set the tone for his Department of Just Us in treating everything through black racist lenses.

So, in a way, I think they did engineer the racial strife in America by sending clear messages from their positions of authority and leadership, that being racist towards whites and law enforcement was okay.

The real problem is black spoiled-rotten (yes, if you get everything free) childishness, and being trash. Black trash. Too many are trash.

I disagree. This is precisely what Obama wanted. In fact the worst-case scenario for Obama was for this to go to trial, and the public would see the truth in a court of law.

With this, they can still paint the narrative as they wish, despite the findings of the grand jury, and they got their riot, which they wanted.

Ask who benefitted, and you’ll have your answer.

The are no facts in existence that would compel someone who wants to be deluded to acknowledge the truth.

Ferguson is not about some great rift between the police and society. Ferguson is about a kid who did a strong-armed robbery of a store and then attacked a police officer.
Period.
It’s about a series of events started not by slavery or Jim Crow, but by one young man’s decision not to obey the law. If there is a trend illustrated in the events which led to Michael Brown’s death in Ferguson, Missouri, it is black lawlessness, not police insensitivity.

Contrary to the overheated rhetoric of the grievance industry pot-stirrers, “the system” (whatever that is) was not on trial in Ferguson. Officer Darren Wilson was. And in fact, he wasn’t even on trial as much as his actions on one particular day were being investigated. In the end, the evidence, testimony, and considered analysis all indicated that Wilson behaved appropriately in using fatal force to stop a life-threatening assault by Michael Brown.

Any attempt to extrapolate beyond those narrow circumstances is inflammatory and counter-productive.

Not that that will matter to the primates of the “TVs for Trayvon” mob.

Kind of reminds you of the palestinians, doesn’t it?
