The Michael Brown shooting was about race but it was not racially motivated.
" a handful of folks"
I watched Barack Obama inject himself into the Michael Brown grand jury news and I am confounded but not surprised. Obama had the chance to separate fact from fantasy and he did the opposite. The Michael Brown shooting was NOT racially motivated but something else was.
The shooting of Michael Brown was caused by Michael Brown. The forensic evidence was that Brown's blood was present on Officer Darren Wilson's collar and his thigh. There was blood found on the outside of the police cruiser and on the inside of the cruiser. Brown had a wound to his hand and gunshot residue was present on his hand, indicating a close proximity wound. Wilson had suffered injuries to his face. Brown had his hand or hands IN the cruiser, struck Wilson and struggled with Officer Wilson for Wilson's weapon. Several black witnesses testified that Brown turned and approached Wilson at which time Wilson fired the fatal shots.
These were the facts as presented by Prosecutor McCulloch. Here it is if you wish to watch it.

Never missing a racially charged opening, Barack Obama turned it into a circus.

He said some Americans will agree with it and some will disagree. His body language made very clear on which side he came down. There was powerful irony listening to Obama plea for peaceful protest juxtaposed against a mob trying to overturn a police car.
He asks the police to show "care and restraint." (1:35)
Then Obama opened the race can. Obama expounded on the distrust of police by communities and then suggested that communities should be policed by those of their own race- a return to segregation.
There is a "deep distrust" between the police and "communities of color." (2:50)
Then he goes on about the need for criminal justice reform. (about 4 minutes in) You can guess what that means.
He says these are the lessons of Ferguson. Not once does he address the crimes committed. Not once does he speak to personal responsibility. Not once. He turned a theft and an assault on a police officer into a racial issue. He could have said to America that this wasn't a race based shooting. He didn't. He made it worse.
"America isn't everything that it could be" (7:00)
The media needs to ignore the violence. (8:00)
"There is inevitably going to be some negative reaction and it'll make for good TV..." (8:50)
The questions asked following McCulloch's accounting of the evidence were monumentally stupid.
Never mind the forensics. Is the decision racially based? And what about you? Whys it this justice? (33:00)
Should police shoot someone whose hands are at their side or up in the air? (34:00)
(A black teenager testified: “Dang if that kid didn’t start running right at the cop like a football player. Head down.” )
The police in Ferguson kill black youths with impunity (35:00)
And perhaps the single stupidest remark:
"there is not a single law in the state of Missouri that protects and values the life of this young man..."(35:50)

Where can I get a “I survived 8 years of Obama!” sticker?
5) Don’t tell an armed man that he’s too much of a F’ing P’y to shoot you, then attack him.
We’ve known for weeks that report was false.
It isn't over yet...we may not survive at the rate he's moving.....
They're already releasing ALL illegals held at the border if they “say” they've been in the usa the required time....'no documentation' required...they are told to ask certain questions and take them at their word....unless they committed a crime...every one else is cut loose now and ongoing.
I'm on FR every single day for hours at a time, and the first time I heard this was last night.
We were lied to about this. We were told - repeatedly - that Officer Wilson had suffered a "blown out eye socket."
If that was a lie, how much of the rest of what we were told by our side was a lie?
Well......contrary to my public persona as a cynic, I DO have some hope.....
You got me there. Bumper sticker removers are doing just as good now as roofers following a Texas hail storm.
That broken eye socket report was denied a few days after it was reported.
Rotflol....!
Once i read that the decision was made, i turned off the news.
it was already decided that the black lynch mobs in Ferguson were going to do what they had planned, without any stalwart citizens stopping them, never mind the local police.
I believe that the queer-in-charge, now in his last 2 years of office, and the possibility of becoming more impotent, wanted, yes wanted, to incite a race war in the streets, to therefore enact further ‘decrees’, to include national martial law, upon the American public, for their voting against him and his elected minions.
So someone lied, and someone reported the lie.
He’s dead because he was a thug, whose thug attitude ran into a cop who had an ‘equalizer’ that trumped his thugness. Brown TYPIFIED and defined the reason young black men ARE pre-judged. They’ve defined themselves-and identify with- the thug attitude. It’s self perpetuating. His defiant ‘I just roughed up a storeowner and TOOK what I wanted’ attitude met the wrong guy. No great loss. How can society value young black men more then they value themselves or each other? They kill each other every night in this country. If Brown had been killed by a fellow thug- as so many are-would anyone be talking about him?
Crump.....”there is not a single law in the state of Missouri that ‘protects and values’ the life of this young man”...
Neither did the young man nor his parents.....
MB didn’t respect the clerk’s life nor the cop’s life. They didn’t do anything bad to him - at least until he did something bad to them first. In fact, their occupations were devoted to being nice to him: the clerk/shopowner by providing goods at fair cost, and the cop by patrolling the streets to identify & apprehend wrongdoers. MB violated his side of the mutually-benefitting arrangement, _choosing_ to harm them.
Mutual respect goes a long way.
Things deteriorate fast when someone doesn’t.
My guess would be someone at the Hospital said his eye socket was almost broken. By the time that quote got around to the media it became was broken. Which was denied relatively quickly. Just about everything the mass media reports is twisted truth. Or Newsspeak.
You haven’t survived 8 years of Obama yet.
Of course, Zero wasn’t talking about keeping blacks from robbing stores and assaulting police. He was talking about whites being told to let blacks be criminals without consequences.
If they are brazen enough to attack the openly armed police what do these fools think these feral animals will do to everyone else?
I have to say they are barely house broken from their behavior. What kind of sane allegedly intelligent person burns down their own businesses and neighborhoods. What kind of culture teaches this kind of self-loathing and hate. They are killing themselves and there is no reason for it other than their own gullibility and stupidity.
In reality Brown is responsible for his own death because he acted like a damned fool. His parents also bear some responsibility because they obviously didn’t take their responsibility in raising a civilized child seriously.
Megyn Kelly answered the so-called ‘blown out socket’ last night.
The fact that authorities never answered this question in the first place, nor showed photos of Darren Wilson’s face until after the GJ decision - is evidence that there was no ‘blown out socket’ - but a severe bruise on his right cheek from a hard hit from MB.
That story was in the bloody Washington Post. I heard it was false first through the Mark Levin show, then corroborated elsewhere.
FR isn't my only source.
