King Holiday Events Include Air of Protest Over Deaths of Black Men (Gentle Giant, Trayvon & Eric)

After a year of unrest over how the justice system responded to the deaths of several unarmed African-American men, many people marking Martin Luther King’s Birthday on Monday were more rueful than celebratory.

Some marchers in a small city in northern Alabama wore black shirts with the names of three of the men in white print: Michael Brown, Eric Garner and Trayvon Martin. Two died in confrontations with police officers, and one with a neighborhood watch coordinator.

In an acknowledgment of the complexity of the issue, the shirts also bore the names of Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, the two New York City police officers who were shot to death as they sat in their patrol car.

Around the country, traditional Martin Luther King celebrations took place — interfaith prayer breakfasts, speeches, volunteer service. But in several large cities, protests were organized by a new generation of activists who said they wanted to use the day to denounce injustice and to point out social inequality. Many were hoping to use the day to rekindle a new movement for social change....

So they're trying to hijack the two slain NYPD police officers? Classy!

"Air of Protest"?

Huhn? Is that a new class of civil right or something? A sneaker?

Is this true? They were all unarmed? Why hasn't this information been made public before? Someone in the media has dropped the ball on this by keeping it a big secret.

In an acknowledgment of the complexity of the issue...

You punch a cop in the face and try to take his gun, he's going to shoot you. It's not complex.

You sucker punch someone with a concealed weapon and beat their head on the ground, they're likely to shoot you. It's not complex.

If you're morbidly obese, have a heart condition, and asthma, and you try to wrestle with a bunch of fit young cops, you're likely to die of a heart attack. It's not complex.

To bad Sharpton and Jackson weren’t on the list.

[bikerman]

its to complicated for the blacks to understand that.

The Airing of Greivances!
Happy Festuvus!

It is long past the time when facts should be made public to expose the lies and misrepresentations of the Obama-Holder demagogues and the race-grievance industry.The Obama-Holder demagogues, the race-grievance industry, and most employees of the MSM have made this a racial issue. So let's see..

So adding up the blacks killed by whites (Col 1) and whites killed by blacks(col 2). Surprise.

col 1		Col 2
189		409
193		431
193		448
218		447
209		454
230		504
245		566
208		573
230		516
228		522
281		699
2424		5569

Whites outnumber blacks by at least six-to-one BTW. Since Obama has been president the score is whites 1002, blacks 2189.

You will never, never see this in NY Times. If whites wanted to do a "die in" it'd take the entire island.

The biggest protest since Jan 2014 will be Jan 22. There will be protests in every state capitol with thousands trying to lobby their legislators..and thousands in DC meeting with Congressmen and thousands in the streets of cities big and small all accross the country.

All of these protestors are concerned about the killing of innocent Blacks.

But how many of their signs will say

BLACK LIVES MATTER

And how many of their signs will fail to communicate and connect with their audience?

Michael Brown protesters clash with King Day observers

[HiTech RedNeck]

it’s also not complex (but sad) that if you harangue a society with nonsense for long enough, it will believe the nonsense.

[TigersEye]

The thugs have taken over the civil rights movement.

[Bubba_Leroy]

How about protesting the deaths of countless black men at the hands of other black men?

I guess those lives don’t matter.

[JennysCool]

Michael Brown protesters clash with King Day observers. Is any more irony even possible?

Who to bet on since I have no dog in this hunt?

[GOPJ]

Yeah ‘air’... Michael Paulson wrote this like it’s 1964... guess he didn’t bother to check to see what white liberal elites were paying for these ‘protests’.

The ones in Ferguson were paid for by George Soros... through his various fronts. That should be part of the story.

Hey Michael Paulson in the name of the old truths and high magic can you find out who paid to have the shirts printed up with the two dead cops names added?

[9thLife]

We all know who controls “the air”.

[A_perfect_lady]

if you harangue a society with nonsense for long enough, it will believe the nonsense.

The dim-witted will believe. We call them "liberals." The wise will just quit listening to you. That would be us. =)

[GailA]

That protest march in Memphis over garbage men, well they still are not in any Union and still are paid less than other city workers. Memphis is DEM BLACK controlled.
