That picture is a priceless picture of liberal entitlement if there ever was one.

Charles Barkley appears to be wrong on what political party to support.

The idiot gets what he deserves.

Why isn`t CNN having the same “witnesses” on air again that they first did in the early days? Answer: because it would be like admitting they were wrong, better for the CNN agenda to just quote the 16 of 29 originally stated hands up.

They probably have spoken to each one since GJ testimony, but knew re interviewing them on air would only help Officer Darren`s image...they do not want that

Now, besides the U.S. government, we know for SURE that CNN is an enemy of the American people. Let’s see who else makes the list.

FROM THE ARTICLE:
“If black folks need to take more responsibility how would you describe a black man who drives drunk, runs a red light and explains to police that he was rushing home to have sex with the woman in the passenger seat?”

If he was white, I’d say “I thought you were dead, Senator Kennedy.”

When outrage is the medium, facts are racist.

I believe he was shot in the back too . . . on his way to Sunday school.

Yeah, and just before that he helped 3 old women cross the street and rescued a kitten from a very tall tree.

What amazes me is how the facts and basic reasoning simply don’t matter to these people.

Statistically, everyday in America....there’s at least three hundred folks who are resisting arrest. The charge will be buried down among the three or four that they get as they walk into the courtroom. It’ll get you a couple of extra weeks in jail, and is the easiest charge that cops can pile onto you.

In the case of Brown...we know that he was so doped up....that he didn’t know what he was really doing (very high THC level from the marijuana). Based on comments I read last week...cops in NYC are still not releasing the toxicology report on Garner (more than 3 months later). It hints of some THC problems on Garner. So both were so doped up possibly....that their natural tendency was to resist.

This is my opinion, and I'm not saying that some cases may have been suspicious, BUT:

There are a lot of racist people in all of the latest news on black killings. This is a BLACK thing…period. Has anyone seen a news blip on any white man/woman who may have resisted arrest and died? How about those Hispanics? Any major protests, aired repeatedly, on all local and cable news? Heard mention of it in any of the gazillion talk shows and/or panels?

I'd like some lazy A$$ reporters to get up off the lazy butts and do some serious research to find out if there were and how many. Let's compare apples to apples. We know that reporters don't like to report about "black on white" killings. So, how about showing us, if no white person died in police custody, or while being arrested, why that did not happen (e.g., they did not resist arrest).

And why do all those protestors think they know better than the medical examiner, investigators, and the Grand Jury? Seriously, they need to look at the facts instead of listening to a bunch of baggy-ass gangsters.

“16 out of 29 witness statements said that Mike Brown had his hands up to surrender” and “Fifty million Frenchmen can’t be wrong!” So what every one of those “witnesses” was lying and proved so.

Yes that is true. Its all either emotions and a political self serving end but with the left that is almost always the case.
