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)

Guiliani was able to express the thought that police are in black neighborhoods because that’s where the crime is... So our side had a good 3 or 4 minutes on a Sunday network news show...
And now the Gubmint is their Daddy.
We’re going to wait til the sun goes down before we make our announcement.
And now the Gubmint is their Daddy.
Yep.
Actually, much of the corridor that was torched in DC in ‘68 has been renovated and become rather chic. Gentrified, you might say.
They say they’re waiting for the school children to get home.
“civilized” is the key concept . . .
When society is too weak to civilize its young men . . . of whatever race . . . society gets this unrestrained in-your-face violence, etc.
it is just pathetic . . . the pants down below the underwear, the rap music which spews hatred of women, it is just, thank you very much, NOT CIVILIZED! Much less so, the looting and violence. It is NOT racist or a matter of race, because the “main stream” emulates this garbage in the name of cultural coolness or whatever they think of it, if they think at all. It is not civilized, it is civilization giving way to violence and anarchy, because society can no longer for whatever reason, impose civilized values on young men. That is the key. Fathers, mothers, girl friends and wives, have for all time controlled the self- and society- destructive tendencies of the young male. Now, everyone seems too weak to take on that fairly easy and reasonable task. WHY? Just call them out — they are not civilized.
“Guiliani was able to express ...”
That was excellent!
The area around the Navy Yard certainly has been cleaned up. As recently as the early 2000s, though, it was still a disaster area. Others that I have been in are still pretty bad.
That would be 3:30pm..
Just picking nits...
It was deliberately replaced, decades after the riots killed it.
Such cases do exist, but are not news. The cop does get indicted, cop goes to trial, cop goes to jail. The end. No riots.
But, in this case, I think the original media selection to highlight it at the beginning was elevated just because the evidence was so lopsided. Remember, these are Alinskyites. By having it this way, this case was just PERFECT. It fans the race flames, as whites can see perfectly clear that the preponderance of evidence shows Wilson acted reasonably - Brown forced him to use his weapon to save himself. And, Blacks, for opposite reasons, see Brown as totally innocent. If it was any other way, IMHO, this case would have been discarded for a better case that could be used in such a race-baiting story.
PSYCHOLOGY-101
If you start with a cage containing five monkeys, and inside the cage hang a banana on a string from the top, and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the bananAs soon as he touches the stairs, you spray ALL the monkeys with cold water.
After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result — ALL the monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.
Now, put the cold water away.
Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new monkey. The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, ALL of the other monkeys beat the Monkey Crap out of him.
After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new monkey.
The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment — with enthusiasm — because he is now part of the “team.”
Then, replace a third original monkey with a new monkey, followed by the fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked.
Now, the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.
Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana.Why, you ask? Because in their minds, that is the way it has always been!
Welcome to Ferguson.
Go for the banana? Ain’t no one got time for dat!
