I could not have said it better myself.

[Sacajaweau]

The law won and justice has been served.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The elephant in the room is that both the Saint Trayvon Martin and Saint Michael Brown frauds were engineered by the community agitator in the White Hut.

No discussion of either should omit that fact at the very beginning.

[Diogenesis]

Obola and Holder planned Fast&Ferguson and sent
in Black Panthers with bombs and other terrorists.

The MSM was their overwilling, adoring accomplice, as usual.

[sauropod]

But the truth is clear.

He deserved what he got. No m

atter what color he was. Yes he did.

I was positively sickened last night by the attitudes of the presstitutes in attendance at the news conference.

Sickened.

[MissEdie]

This is also about a segment of our society who will hold up a militant fist with one hand against us, while extending their other for a handout. This segment of our society has had trillions upon trillions of dollars spent/wasted on them and this is what we get in return.

[Sicon]

Here's the money quote - pure gold:

It’s not that the police don’t know how to respect minority communities, it’s that minority communities don’t know how to respect themselves – or anybody else.

[fwdude]

Ferguson is what elected the likes of Obama.

[Yardstick]

This writer has totally nailed it.

[ThunderSleeps]

And that arose at least in part, it seems logical to surmise, from this young man’s upbringing in a stew of anti-police prejudice.

Great piece and I especially like this sentence. Hey Ferguson rioters - want to know why Brown died? Because of people, actions, and attitudes exactly like you and what you are doing. That's right, you are the reason so many Michael Browns get rightfully killed every year. Yes, I said it, rightfully killed. The world is just that much better off without him.

Teach your kids better attitudes, better behavior. Teach them respect, that there are winners and losers, that education matters, that the world does not revolve around their precious little underwear-exposing backsides. Then maybe they will make better life choices than to attack unarmed shop keepers and armed law enforcement. They might live to see 30.

[Walrus]

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

[Eddie01]

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

[TexasCajun]

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.

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

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.

[RKBA Democrat]

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.

[FES0844]

I just want to know who ordered the cops to stand down.

[the OlLine Rebel]

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

[skeeter]

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

[IronJack]

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.

[Jabba the Nutt]

Could the Ferguson rioting finally be the tipping point that brings in the middle class (white and black) into the disaster of the black underclass? Is Guiliani showing the way? Is the threat of being called a racist finally lost its power? I pray that this is the case.

[GOPJ]

So, no Mr. President, there isn’t a national problem between the police and “the community,” at least not in most communities.

And, likewise, 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.
