Someone here please tell me what an English professor brings to this discussion that a customer service agent, plumber, ditch digger or short-order cook doesn't?

[dfwgator]

Nothing. Just another a-hole with an opinion who wasn’t there.

[Graybeard58]

perhaps tried to grab his gun,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Perhaps? It was proven by DNA and gun powder residue.

[cripplecreek]

Not much of a fire. 99% of the country is still completely unaffected.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Sorry “Mr. Perfeser”. Since tobacco was involved in both of these incidents, I’d have to say that tobacco taxes passed by greedy, commie lib politicians were “the spark”.

[DoughtyOne]

Leftist bias? Just guessing...

[Olog-hai]

Marxist credentials?

[PghBaldy]

He used to be relatively good on racial issues. It is a shame to see this.

[DoughtyOne]

And guess what Leftist professor’s positions on that are...

[Candor7]

A world without racism would be a world without dirt. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

A world without cops would be a world of self help.

And do you think ERRONEOUSLY that black men are shot needlessly by cops now as racist activity?

Wait until there are no cops and you will see many more black men die as the result of black agression on each other and on white folk.Blood bath is an understatement.

[Olog-hai]

Ferguson was the spark, but Garner was “it.”

Here is where I am quite sure Reverend King and Bayard Rustin would be planning not just statements and gestures, but boycotts. The recording of Garner’s death has the clear, potent and inarguable authority of the Birmingham newsreels. We must use that. Yes, use—we are trying to create change, not just perform.

Onward. …

Huzzah. For MLK’s foibles, I think that he would be very concerned with the truth, and thus it is not meet to drag his name further through the mud in this fashion, in the name of lies.

[DoughtyOne]

I wonder what Leftist programs these people want the Officer Cam costs taken out of?

[Olog-hai]

We just have to look at Detroit to see that future.

[Fungi]

Nonsense from a source trying to recover its relevance. Good bye “Time,” your time has come and gone, and still you do not realize why it has elapsed. Just keep doing your work, it is fun watching you slowly fade awaaaaaay...

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Lord....how long do we have to keep talking about criminals who died because their parents never taught them respect?

Respect for others and themselves...

[mylife]

Do the libs ever tire of this BS?

[MeshugeMikey]

he unlike the others mentiond is a PROFESSIONAL BLOWHARD....its what they DO!

[tomkat]

Here’s a look at the future, and probably not that far into it. People will learn two three things:

3) If their wet dream of a 'fire' is ever truly lit, the arsonists and their various hangers on will be exterminated.

[mylife]

Ah Haaa!!

[MeshugeMikey]

who...would....anyone ...BOYCOTT???

all WHITE people??
