Agreed, if Mikey had done what he needed to do, he would be alive today.

What does Wilson’s previous job have to do with this case? Care to explain? Please do.

“Ferguson wasn't about police brutality, and the President knows it. If he wanted a teachable moment this was his opportunity. He could have talked about how blacks are 13% of the population in America and over 50% of homicide victims; how 91 % of these victims are murdered by other blacks and how, therefore, "communities of color" are dependent on a police presence for survival. He could have talked about how one quarter of the members of the grand jury that chose not to indict Officer Wilson were black. He could even have attacked the racist assumption that blacks will naturally react with mindless violence to decisions like this one; and that they alone of all American minority groups will be exempt from censure when they do. There are many ways a truly "post racial" President could have spoken truth to the power of the mob that exploded in violence in Ferguson. But instead Barack Obama enabled it as his racist advisor on racial affairs, Al Sharpton, swooped into Ferguson to pour gasoline on the flames.” (David Horowitz)

Obama and Holder declarations from the first day of the death of the young Black killed by white cop were directed to incite the racial riots. Upon their conscience, or lack of it, rest the main responsibility for the Ferguson riots.

It likes the whole department was fired. Again what bearing does that have to do with this case? Please take your time and get back with me when you can muster up something of value.

Could you provide a link for that assertion?
It’s something I hadn’t seen previously.

Thanks

By all means go ahead and get in line with liberal scum who will back you 100%. I would not want to offend your “no justice no peace” sensibilities. I also remember your posts when this story first broke. You were for Michael Brown then and are still against the police. So at least you are consistent in your non-conformist drivel.

...young black men between the ages of 15 and 19 are 21 times more likely to be shot by police officers than young white men of the same age. They are also 21 times more likely to be committing a crime that would likely result in a shooting.

Added for clarification.

That is quite a stretch on your part. It was an entire department, not him in specific.

Thanks for the link, now I see how mixed up you are over this. Sad that you can’t seperate the truth of the two officers cited in this department from Officer Wilson.

Whoever you are, look, no I don’t like robbers and thugs. I am also real sick of police killing people, beating people, hurting people that they are supposed to arrest. If you like living in a police state, more power to you. You are there.

Is that how you’d present the case in court? Too funny.

The only issue is the respect of legitimate authority.

The police officer is the agent of the State authorized to enforce the law.

When he stops somebody (technically an arrest), the person so stopped is to respect the authority of the State.

If the person refuses to stop, they are not respecting the authority of either the officer or the State and its laws to govern the people. Worse, if they attack the arresting officer, they are rebelling from legitimate authority and are felonious.

This is the fundamental problem within today’s black community. Urban gang mentality places their allegiance to their gang affiliations before the State or its laws. Worse, many identify their race with criminality to laws of the State symbolizing their social power. This type of mentality is criminal and promotes organized crime as a counterfeit substitute for legitimate authority by our Constitution.

Accompanying this ignorant criminal legacy by many identifying themselves as liberal, is the mistaken notion that the criminally guilty are righteous until a consensus is met to socially declare them guilty.

This is also a consequence of moral relativism, confusing the foundational differences between liberty and justice.

Our Puritan forefather wrote tomes on the topics.

IMHO, the further one strays form Judeo-Christian thinking, the more likely they follow the pattern seen in the Middle East promoted by Muslims, the American black gangsta, and American liberals.
