Police Chief says no mistakes were made last night. lol, because last night was such a success.

 

[Antischism]

People keep missing the fact that this is bigger than just Michael Brown. It's a protest against all police injustice with Michael Brown merely being the latest face of a black man being gunned down (by a police force with a history or racism and abuse, no less). And those trying to say there's no racist element to our system and trying to dismiss this as "race baiting" need to read a history book or sincerely open up their minds and think about it from another perspective, because it absolutely is. Those who have been unfairly targeted, enslaved, rendered as clowns and subhuman will react the strongest and know the realities of police brutality. It's funny—people harp about police brutality and how unjust the system actually is, but when the opportunity comes along to make a bit of noise and fight back against the oppressors, they want to sit back and argue about a handful of looters and the destruction of private property, as if it at all invalidates the bigger problem everyone, and especially minorities, have had to deal with for decades. It's fucking horseshit, quite frankly.

no, in general. Are you saying the Brown case wasn't or isn't about race...at all?..

No charges brought by prosecution...because the victim is black? Is that what you're saying?

i agree. The comments that dismiss race as an issue in the Brown case are not being honest with themselves, or anyone reading the posts in here.

If a person thinks the Brown case is devoid of any racism, i want to see some reasons why they think this.

In the mean time, i firmly believe race is a factor, so sue me.

...so you think race is not a factor.

i disagree.

Of course it was a success, in the eyes of the cops. They were able to make the legitimate protestors look bad by allowing the burning and looting to happen, and all the news stories became about the burning and looting, rather than the nationwide problem of police violence and misconduct on a widespread scale. The cop shop, courthouse, and city hall all remain intact. They got to use all their military toys again. And they surely had a lot of fun shooting tear gas canisters directly at people who were holding cameras. And the best part is, they get to do it all over again, and get to continue shooting unarmed citizens without fear of any real consequence.

Yea I guess if you look at it that way it is a success, for them, not so much for the American people.

Ferguson Decision Reaffirms Right Of Police To Use Deadly Force When They Feel Sufficiently Inclined
http://www.theonion.com/articles/ferguson-decision-reaffirms-right-of-police-to-use,37542/

WASHINGTON—Following a legal precedent established over the course of decades, the St. Louis County grand jury decision Monday to not indict officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of an unarmed teen reportedly reaffirmed the right of police to use deadly force whenever they feel sufficiently inclined. “The outcome of this grand jury investigation further supports a police officer’s right to shoot to kill if, and only if, he feels absolutely willing to do so and it suits his purposes,” said Georgetown law professor Adrienne Hoffman, adding that reasonable suspicion to use lethal force is 100 percent optional when an officer fires on a suspect, regardless of circumstances. “This decision makes it completely clear that, when confronted in the line of duty, police are legally justified in using extreme force against a suspect whenever they need to or just feel like it.” Hoffman added that the decision further asserts an officer’s right to claim self-defense against anyone within range of his weapon.

Yep.

Nation Doesn’t Know If It Can Take Another Bullshit Speech About Healing
http://www.theonion.com/articles/nation-doesnt-know-if-it-can-take-another-bullshit,37541/

WASHINGTON—In the wake of a grand jury’s divisive decision not to charge Ferguson, MO police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown, a weary American populace told reporters Tuesday that they are not sure if they can take another bullshit speech about healing. “If I have to watch some politician, law enforcement official, or pretty much anyone regurgitate the same meaningless platitudes about setting aside our differences and coming together as a nation, I might just lose it,” said Atlanta resident Samantha Hubbard, echoing the sentiment of hundreds of millions of Americans who are uncertain if they can stomach even a single empty call for respect and civility. “I honestly don’t know if I’m physically capable of listening to another community leader recite the same unbearable garbage about how it’s time for an open and honest dialogue. I swear to God, if I hear even one goddamn person assert there’s more that unites us than divides us, I will immediately blow my brains out.” At press time, the nation was particularly apprehensive at the prospect of a bullshit speech that declared words were not enough.

LOL Fuckin-a.

No, I'm saying that there's a long history of police brutality, injustice, slavery, Jim Crow laws, latent racism, failed drug laws, economic policy and social conditioning that has disadvantaged minorities, incarcerated them at higher rates and created a narrative in the collective unconscious of the public that the life of black people or minorities, is worth less. That while poor people of all backgrounds have been subjected to similar systemic abuse, those of color have had it that much worse and as a result, are quicker to understand police are not there to "protect and serve."

"From its inception, the shooting of Michael Brown was not investigated as a potential criminal homicide, and the inquiry was an exercise in validating the killer’s story, rather than testing it against the available evidence. If Wilson had been a member of the productive class, rather than a state employee licensed to dispense aggressive violence, he would have been presumed legally innocent, but required to justify his actions. Because of his occupation, however, Wilson was considered both legally innocent and presumptively correct." ~Will Grigg

Read much?

Antischism is one of the least hypocrites on the forum.

 

[FloralScent]

Don't get me wrong, I think the cop should've been indicted. The evidence points to him executing the guy out of anger, and I'm no fan of cops even when they're on their best behavior. I just wish Haji would've had his concealed carry permit and smoked Michael Brown inside his store;no controversy, no muss, no fuss. The moment that fat fuck laid hands on the little guy it was robbery. I won't morn his passing.

 

[staerker]

Theory:

Michael Brown was "jay-walking." (Not immoral by the way. In a residential neighborhood? lol. Nazis.)

Darren Wilson struck Brown with his car. (Skin and blood on the car)

[...] (who knows what happened)

Brown calls Wilson a "pussy." Wilson executes Brown.

Edit: Nvm not sure what is going on, on the stream, unconfirmed report.

Someone just drove his car into some protestors in Ferguson live stream here where he is being followed by protestor to make sure he is charged with "attempted vehicular homicide". Currently being transported in police van followed by 5 police car escort.

This stream is from NYC. It's live and working, but nothing much going on there yet.

Private property huh?
right now on live stream, the Ferguson police are going to arrest a bunch of people for being on the balcony of a restaurant... ...the owner, Flo, is present, and says they are allowed to be at her restaurant.

http://rt.com/on-air/us-ferguson-rally-brown/

Ferguson police are claiming it is city property, even though it is clearly private property.

This stream is not working. Returns an error saying it doesn't exist or has been deleted.
