i think i is clear that urban blacks have a vastly different standard of what a “good boy” is compared to the rest of society.
It’s past time to take the war to the media.
The truth won’t matter to them. They have been taught to distrust the police and whitey their whole lives and they aren’t going to start trusting now.
from the rioters deeds
The left wants free tee vees and booze.
If it was all one long continuous event, then Johnson could be held liable for Brown's death.
It's not likely that Johnson will be charged, though. Can you imagine the riots that would result from that?

Give them a city to run and prosper in and watch what happens...Detroit!
The Republican AG’s are to afraid of being accused of racism and the Rat AG’s have no intention of investigating them.
Are you saying it is the officer’s fault?
Johnson’s lawyer said he was hiding behind a car in an interview he did with Hannity.
DORIAN JOHNSON’S VERSION:
“Me and my friend was walking down the street in the middle of the street. And we wasn’t causing any harm to nobody. We had no weapons on us at all. … A police officer squad car pulled up and when he pulled up these were his exact words: ‘Get the F on the sidewalk.’ … He reversed his … car in a manner to where it almost hit us. … He tried to brush his door open but he was so close to us that it ricocheted off us and it bounced back to him, and I guess that, you know, got him a little upset. And at that time ... he didn’t get out the car, he just reached his arm out the window and grabbed my friend around his neck and … as he was trying to choke my friend, he was trying to get away, and the officer then reached out and he grabbed his arm to pull him into the car. … His weapon was drawn and he said, ‘I’ll shoot you’ or ‘I’m going to shoot,’ and in the same moment the first shot went off. And we looked at him, he was shot, and there was blood coming from him, and we took off running, and as we took off running, I ducked and hid for my life because I was afraid for my life … . My friend kept running and he told me to keep running because he feared for me, too. So, as he was running, the officer was trying to get out of the car and once he got out the car he pursued my friend, but his weapon was drawn. Now, he didn’t see any weapon drawn at him or anything like that. I was going for no weapon. His weapon was already drawn when he got out the car. He shot again and once my friend felt that shot, he turned around and put his hands in the air and he started to get down but the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and he fired several more shots, and my friend died. He didn’t say anything to him, he just stood over and was shooting.”
Does anyone remember when that black woman tried to ram the White House walls to see Obama and she was peppered with something like 90 bullets holes? This happened a year or two ago. Anyone there say that was excessive? Were the police accused of executing a black woman and of racism? Nope. Why the double standard? Hmmmmmm!
She's not an eyewitness.
But the narrative that stuck is the narrative that Zimmerman shot him in cold blood because he was black.
Obviously nobody in the MSM or the black community is interested in the truth.
LOL! It doesn't matter what the circumstances of the shooting were. You have a white cop that shot a black teenager. That is all that is needed to start a race riot.
The autopsy showed a gunshot to the top of his head.
The problem has been the focus on irrelevant arguments – some of which are actually unsupported by the evidence.
1. ‘George Zimmerman (GZ) racially profiled Trayvon Martin (TM)’ There is no evidence of this.
2. ‘GZ disobeyed an order by the police’ * The civilian dispatcher, Sean Noffke, testified that he did not give GZ an order and, in fact, he, like his fellow dispatchers, are trained not make comments that sound like commands. * Noffke also testified under cross that, as a result of his asking GZ which way TM was going, GZ could have reasonably interpreted this as being asked to follow Martin. * It is also not a crime in Florida to disregard a comment made by a civilian dispatcher.
3. ‘GZ got out of his car’ Not a crime on public property and not negligent either.
4. ‘GZ followed TM’ Again, anyone can follow anyone on a public street unless the followee has obtained a restraining order against the follower and even there, the RS only places time, place, and manner restrictions on the person enjoined.
5. ‘GZ wasn’t really injured’ * Under Florida’s self-defense laws, one doesn’t have to be injured AT ALL to use deadly force * No one is required to refrain from defending himself while another is engaged in or attempting to commit a felony.
6. ‘TM is dead through no fault of his own’ * If you believe that TM assaulted GZ, then he IS dead as a result of his own actions.
7. ‘GZ could have left’ * Under Florida law, there is not a duty to withdraw rather than use deadly force * TM was straddling GZ so how the latter was supposed to leave the scene is unanswered.
8. ‘GZ was armed and TM wasn’t’ * One’s fists can be considered weapons and can result in severe bodily harm or death. * GZ was legally carrying a weapon * There is no requirement under the law that the same weapon be used by the assailant * A homeowner can kill an intruder whether or not he has been threatened * Those that attack cannot feign surprise if they are met with superior firepower.
9. ‘Stand Your Ground!’ * SYG is NOT at issue in this trial. * The defense is a classic self-defense case.
10. ‘Black men NEVER get to use SYG!’ * Wrong http://tinyurl.com/nboht35
11. ‘GZ is a man and TM was a boy!’ * As if ‘boys’ don’t commit murder, rape, and assault everyday in this country.
That's why the Justice Department opposed the release of the robbery video. The USG wants this struggle to continue as long as possible, in the interest of Progress!
BTW, here is Josie's phone call to the Dana Loesch Show (space out to 25m):

The moronic article fails to give proper credit.
Josie turns out to be a friend of Officer Wilson and relates the story as told to her by Officer Wilson's "significant other".
Someone should show up for the protest with a sign that says:
“Don’t confuse us with facts!”
I would do it but I don’t have a death wish.
I thought he said the guys from Oakland were the New Black Panthers.
Via Drudge:
New Black Panther radicals have been joined in Missouri by Revolution Club Chicago, a Communist group that calls for a global revolution in order to bring down capitalism. Respondents to the group’s Facebook page aren’t buying the rhetoric, accusing the organization of being, 'Communist agitators seeking to incite a race war in Ferguson.'
