The national hysteria over the Ferguson grand jury is a fresh indictment of America. The core issue is a charge of police brutality by a white officer shooting an unarmed black 18-year-old man. Yet all around the country, the talk is about black violence.
Here in Boston, police are sending out robocalls to public school students and sending messages to college students to stay calm. In Oakland, California, businesses are putting steel plates on their doors. In Los Angeles, Police Chief Charlie Beck said he hopes to get advance notice from Missouri authorities about whether or not the grand jury indicts Ferguson officer Darren Wilson for Brown’s shooting. And in Ferguson, some schools are already closed in anticipation of the decision, gun sales have skyrocketed and a state of emergency was declared by Missouri Governor Jay Nixon.
To be sure, Attorney General Eric Holder and many black clergy have also asked for police restraint for any protests after the grand jury decision is announced. But such balanced pleas have been drowned out by the drama of an FBI warning that the grand jury’s decision “will likely be exploited by some individuals to justify threats and attacks against law enforcement and critical infrastructure.”(continued)

Derrick Z. Jackson, race hustler, doesn’t like the criticism.
Too bad.
“Yet all around the country, the talk is about black violence”
BS - it should be about that, but it is most certainly not.
Sans Guiliani, this topic is muted.
“...The core issue is a charge of police brutality by a white officer shooting an unarmed black 18-year-old man. Yet all around the country, the talk is about black violence....”

Bull crap!! The only “talk” around the country about black violence is “THE SOUNDS OF SILENCE”.
I guess it never occurs to liberals to look at crime statistics by race and see that such perceptions are highly justified.
What is really funny is that half of these ‘protesters’ are feds.
DRINK! DRINK!
The media wants riots for viewers/ratings (especially CNN)
Oh, it’s an indictment all right - it’s an indictment against the media and the race grievance industry and a measure of how closely both are driven by this criminal administration for its own party ends.
What per cent of people (including F.R. members) would be flat out disappointed if there were no riot?
There is no hysteria that I see in Arizona. Of course, concealed carry is a right here...no license needed. I’ll be surprised if there are any riots.
Yeah, right, Holder fanned the flames for weeks but now is the voice of calm? If he had done his job back in August things would have been much better.
the boston globe...brown...warm...damp...and steaming
thank you very much
wait about an hour....
To be sure, Attorney General Eric Holder and many black clergy have also asked for police restraint for any protests
I hope these idiots all just go home ... rioting destroys communities, and they frequently don’t recover.
There are sections of Washington, DC that have been virtual wastelands since the 1960s because of race riots. Detroit is probably the most pathological example, but its problems go way beyond just the rioting.
The hysteria is an indictment of the Gruberoids, that’s for sure.
its gonna be another Justice Fo Rot Knee Night!!
