That's what I've been mystified about! The Eric Garner case was horrible. Right after Ferguson, a cop in St. Louis shot a crazy guy staggering around with a knife who wouldn't frighten any grown man. And there's plenty more, especially if you throw out the racial angles.
I could never figure out why Ferguson was such a big deal. It's making me paranoid.
Race baiters deliberately pick the most despicable thugs as their poster boys, because they know whites will be screaming how they deserved what they got, thus creating the division.
