It all depends on the cop. People both black and white love these guys (aside from the small disarmament minority and thugs)

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.

It's not the fault of the poor, disenfranchised black people. It's
whitie's
honkey's
the establishment's
America's
God's
MY
Satan's fault...somehow.

56 percent of whites, by contrast, are undecided on the matter.

I was initially -- but the state of the known facts presently show that the officer was well justified.

There is a pattern here: a widespread belief in the black community that the justice system is rigged against them. That belief is not without basis -- there is no question that America has a history of racism within the criminal justice community. By the same token, there is also no question that American law enforcement is the least racist it has ever been, by a long shot, and that racism within the law enforcement community is broadly considered unacceptable and vile.

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?

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

[Logical me]

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.

OJ is innocent and Wilson and Zimmerman are guilty.

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.

[FrankR]

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!
