Both sides lined up pretty much as expected over the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson. Social media is full of people on both sides making presumptions, and believing what they want to believe.

Answer me this, Kathleen. Did George Zimmerman "deserve" to have his head bashed in on a concrete sidewalk? Did Officer Wilson "deserve" to suffer a blowout fracture of the orbital bone?
If you were suffering a similar attack, would you not feel a need to defend yourself?
Or would you take your beating, believing that your travails are actually all "about that pinprick of fear in a mothers heart, and an 18th birthday."
Be honest with yourself, Kathleen. If you had a gun in these circumstances, would you use it? Or would you risk what appears to be imminent death at the hands of a young thug -- be he black, white or green? Be honest now...
Oh horse crap. Every mom no matter how old your kids are always worry. My kids are 37 36 and 29 and I always remind them to be careful.
I have had enough of this cops and race crap. I had one bad experience once. I suspect most people have at one time or another.

Good thing ^we* elected Obama,,,. or we might have riots in black sections of cities.
Every time one of my children left the house without me I worried about them being victim to a knock-out game, mugging, rape or other crime that happens to young whites that err in the wrong part of town.
cops have to deal with feral black kids every single day

Remove the wildly criminal behavior of a shockingly small subset of society and, voila, problem solved. The cops wouldnt feel the need to profile or rush to judgement because they wouldnt have the template in their heads.
Broken up and emphasized because I like to be able to comprehend thought precesses systematically
Thanx, baltiless.
Astute comment
Might as well stop reading there,
because it’s a completely false premise.
Black teens don’t get shot by cops,
they get shot by other black teens.
Notice this behemoth is mid stride, off balance (the feet are in line as opposed to spread apart for leverage) and STILL able to offset any confrontation by another human being, admittedly, at least by his weight (the clerk) should take Brown off balance .... but he's not.
One dangerous mofo, this Brown
Their fathers have been replaced by checks in the mail from democrats.
That’s where the fault lies.
Absolutely [white] guilty.

Not sure where the rest of the letters went...
