Actually I am starting to lean towards this Grand Jury decision as being rigged and racist, but not in the sense the left understands. In the sense that the ‘left’ got baited and was used to further an agenda that they clearly do not understand.
As Clyde Lewis pointed out last night on his radio show...the Grand Jury does nothing but incense the situation. Even forcing this all to trial one must consider if we would have as a country lost ...less faith in the legal system, than what has been lost by a Grand Jury investigation?
While we watch Ferguson burn and the embers are still hot another situation is brewing in Cleveland. This time it was a 12 year old child with a look a like pellet gun outside a recreation center. One must ask, with all the school shootings, why was it OK for the kid to have a “gun” like toy near a recreation center and if the kid had been white...would we be calling it an unfortunate incident instead of protesting in the street.
The black community is being played for fools.
The author is the kind of person that walks with the protesters/rioters screaming f*** the police, but when he finds his car has been broken into, dials 911.
Love the part where he rejects ‘physical evidence’
Bloggers gonna blog. Each post is a public IQ test. This guy fails.
I friggin’ hate the cops. I’ve never had a good experience with them as either the victim of a crime or guy who gets a ticket for no damned reason.
But if you get high, rob a store, assault a cop once, and charge at him a second time, expect to be shot dead.
“But the investigator eventually gets to a very important point. He leads the witness to say that Brown was moving toward Officer Wilson, who was screaming, “Stop,” as he fired his weapon”
> ...should do everything possible to make the lives of cops miserable. A cop's kid should be spat on every single day he goes to school. Cops should wake up to see paint buckets emptied on their cars.
Oh, really? How about bricks and Molotov cocktails through the windows of their homes, too? I remember where this line of thinking goes. I remember what it was like to be a cop's kid in the 1960s, when the inner cities were burning, and officers and their families were targets.
This guy doesn't deserve to be reasoned with. He deserves a bullet between the eyes.
The author apparently enjoyed the OJ verdict.
The only injustice in Ferguson is to the folks whose small businesses were looted and burned.
He’s totally right. This should happen. That way no one will be a police officer and no one can protect the author from me.
My gawd, the stupid is strong in this one.
“Do not waste your time with protest. Rebel.”
Bring it on punk. I’m sick of armchair revolutionaries who are all talk. Get out there on the streets and start slitting throats so that me and the rest of the law-abiding citizens can have an open season on your scrawny, perpetually offended backside.
I feel left out. I don’t have stories of Police oppressing my friends, neighbors, and I. Just can’t seem to recall a time when I felt I needed to buy a ‘Stop Killing Us’ t-shirt. Why is my experience so different?
Is it because I don’t go around committing crimes?
Could it be that I spend my time trying to be a productive member of
society?
Would being respectful and appreciative of local law enforcement be the reason?
Nope, apparently it’s because I’m white. Clearly, the choices I make in life have nothing to do with it
Actually he goes too far, but some of what he says is true. But...
I don’t believe racism was involved here... The outcome would have been the same regardless of race. If a white person had assaulted a cop this way, they would be dead too. so the racism part is pure B.S.
However the cop could have reacted differently and the outcome would have been better all around. Cops not only this one but cops all over the country have a warrior mentally. It’s not necessary and it’s not helpful.
How could it have ended better? Consider this...
The perp. assaulted the cop through the open driver’s side window and than ran. The cop certainly had reason to fear for his life during the assault and if he had shot him dead at that point that would be fine.
If the cop had stayed in his vehicle and radioed for backup the hoodlum would be alive probably and facing 10 years in the pen for assaulting the cop (and robbing the store). It’s not like they wouldn’t have got him, he had no where to hide he would stand out in a crowd.
That’s not what happened though... Our brave young warrior with his service revolver got out of the car in hot pursuit. At that point somebody was going to die, and it wasn’t going to be the cop.
Wouldn’t it have been a better outcome had the cop just called in for backup? Better for the cop, better for the thug and better for the community? Of course it would, but that wasn’t an option with the mindset of police today. They cant loose a battle even if it means it costs them the war.
That needs to change... Like I said, race really wasn’t involved here. The outcome would have been the same had the perp been white or brown or yellow.
There's the summation of all your problems, Joe. 46 years on and you folks didn't manage to rebuild your own surroundings. All that time, waiting for someone other than yourselves to make that happen.
Get yourself to Google Pics and look at the heaps of rubble German cities were in 1945. Then look up pictures from 1950, 1960, 1970...
Your bookmarks dropdown menu must be the biggest collection of bullsh!t, looney-tune, liberal websites on the face of the planet.
I'm sorry, but it's not. If you want to call it something, it would be policeism; I tend to put more weight on the testimony of a police officer with an excellent record than the testimony of a perjurer, meaning the testimony of Dorian Johnson (cf. here).
And one more thing...
McCulloch kept repeating that the Grand Jury made its decision based on physical evidence. It is clear now that this decision was based primarily on Darren Wilson's testimony.
That was because Officer Wilson's testimony matched the physical evidence, and while police officers can lie, the evidence cannot lie.
And I would believe the same if the officer were black with an excellent record, and the opposing witness were a white perjurer (William Jefferson Clinton comes to mind, but I digress).
Perhaps our friend should read the suggestions of 100 BLACKS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT WHO CARE (capitals theirs, not mine).
Certainly the author has the same opportunity to rebel as he cites for everyone else. What do you want to bet that he wants only to COMMENT on the rebellion of OTHERS?
Totally ridiculous and totally stupid.
Having said that, I sent this lunatic a suggestion. Anytime a town has more than 50% black population, disband the police department. Let them police themselves. I’m waiting to hear back.
A steaming pile of crap. Police shoot way more white perps than black. I think I read somewhere black males between the age of 18 thru 35 comprise 1.5% of the population and commit over 50 % of violent crime.
Here is a Cop who’s dog saved his life. You will notice the Perp is white and I can’t tell what the little troll with the pipe who is about to slug the Cop is. Personally I don’t think the Cop gives a rat’s ass what color they are and the dog don’t care either. That Cop owes his life to that dog and he better take him out for a T-bone tonight.
There is not enough money in the world you could pay me to be a Police Officer. He was one second from dead.
