Those polls show that 57 percent of black adults think that Wilson should be found guilty of murder....

That surprises me. In a good way. I would have thought that 95% would think that way. But still, 57% is too much. I hope many of that number simply read the facts and refuse to listen to Crump, Sharpton, the MSM and other lying race baters.
MANY will indeed do what you suggest but the MEDIA will report, via T.V., radio and written media what IT wants us to believe.
RACE BAITING is news and news is what the media lives for, even if it has to do it ITSELF.
What else is "new" here? Nothing.
I was initially -- but the state of the known facts presently show that the officer was well justified.
Its time we stopped qualifying every observation on this subject with this statement and acknowledge that historically - the past 50 or 75 years anyway - the behavior of young black males has been responsible for a good deal of the negativity directed at the black community.
We have to focus on the fact that police have no right to shoot someone unless involved in criminal acts. Okay, makes sense as far as it goes.
But where do we draw the line? What about a situation in which police are attacked by a young black man for no apparent reason? An attack in which the police officer has a broken eye socket among other injuries, so the policeman shoots? What if the young black man continues to charge, so the policeman shoots multiple times? Is that acceptable? Where will lines be drawn?

I agree. Unfortunately, too many in the media, and liberals, seek to make excuses, talk about the legacy of discrimination, history of police brutality, whatever. They talk about anything except all this gang activity and gang behavior going on. And that is done because it would be racist to talk about gang activity, apparently.
Who is that Protester/agitator wearing the Police Hat and what looks like medals and long necklaces ? It looks like he’s leading the show there
Was going to comment on your question but would give the enemy ideas of what to demand in their idiocy. Is almost like having hamas in the streets making demands as hamas attacks a Police line with rocket fire and small arms once an idea is taken over by the lawless.
Most black never accept the truth. The real racism in America is the black. It is time to face and accuse the real problems in America. Most of the black culture never really fit into the successful America with good education and hard work.
It appears to me that much of “black culture” is intertwined with the “gang culture”, and “ghetto culture” and “baby mama/dependency culture”.
Looking back over the decades, it seems like things started falling apart in the ‘60s for the black community.
And an irony there is that the ‘60s were when the Jim Crow laws were done away with, laws such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 were passed, and schools in the South were desegregated.
But, it is racist for any of us to talk about how destructive the ghetto culture, the gang culture, and the baby mama culture are to a large class of people.
You overlooked one important piece of legislation: The War on Poverty.
And therein the irony ends and the problem begins...
Nobody will say it, but the officer was in “enemy territory” and Brown had at least one buddy with him. I would say the only mistake the officer made was trying to handle this situation alone. He should have called for backup before he approached the thug.
For everyone who is trying to be impartial, supposedly, have you ever faced a situation where you were struggling with someone who wanted to kill you? I think you would shoot him 100 times if you had the chance. In spite of the opinions of the cop-haters, most cops show amazing restraint in the face of all kinds of provocation. I challenge people to do this job.
These were also the lowlifes who cheered when OJ got away with killing his white wife.
I guess white means guilty and black means innocent these days. Good luck with that.
Knee-jerk accusations of racism from the black community is proof that race baiters are on the job 100% of the time looting is the bait for them.
All city residents pay for police services but most of that 'service' is given to blacks.
If whites, Hispanics and Asians want protection they pay a monthly fee to a ADT type company. Or buy guns to protect themselves... or form 'watch groups' ... BECAUSE POLICE PROTECTION IS ONLY FOR THE "BLACK COMMUNITY".
It's wrong.
If the 'black community' wants trailer trash high-drama games with cops they can do it on their own dime. Same for the games cops play with the black community... it's a symbiotic sickness... If the black community is forced to pay for their share of police protection - - the incentives will switch - - black criminals will lose status, adults will take back the black community and most of all - the insanity will end.
Politicians are afraid of riots, and doing something substantial about the riot brings threats of even more riots if the rioters don’t get their way.
“You believe what we believe, or else”. Sounds a lot like the terrorists, doesn’t it?
It comes down to, the side which is more afraid of the consequences...loses!
