How am I racist?

[JBMasterAngler]

So the kid turns out to be a violent criminal thug? What a shocker! Trayvon Martin 2.0!

If the police officer pulled over and told him to get out of the middle of the street, I can absolutely guarantee his response was NOT "yes officer, will do. Thanks. Have a nice day." He was probably scared the officer was pulling over to arrest him for the crime he just committed! So his thug mentality came out and he assaulted the cop.

Did he deserve to die? No. Is he dead for no other reason than his own criminal lifestyle? YES!

[jmd1]

plus when you live in one of the most dangerous cities in america, does it not say every person is watching their back??

[PurpleFloyd]

So when he was punching the officer in the face and trying to grab his gun it doesn't matter? If the officer didn't shoot him and let him keep punching his face till he passed out and then the thug grabbed the officer's gun and shot him, you'd feel much better?

The mayor of Ferguson, Missouri just told Al Sharpton to go home, saying no one wants him there inciting racial hatred.

Good for him. Al Sharpton is trying to divide Americans along racial lines... which is exactly what we DON'T want or need. Period.

Al Sharpton is trying to divide America?

[PurpleFloyd]

Side note- I don't know for certain this is Ferguson laying there or the cop that shot him so just like every other post in this thread it may or may not be correct. If it is, then the officer doesn't look harmed, the squad car doesn't look close enough to justify the self defense while being beaten in the car scenario and the clothes don't look like they match the clothes of the perp in the video. There is always the possibility this was shot in Chicago any of several times a day a young black kid gets shot there by another black kid which doesn't seem to bother the black community or Rev Sharpton.

That is how he built his shady,corrupt career. They should ship him to Chi Town where he can outrage over the black on black murders that happen there several x daily.

All that aside, do you support the militarization of the police forces?

[corncob]

What is really sad is how the media is absolutely rabid over this shooting , without even as much as a consideration that there may be 2 sides to the issue. Even going so far as to state that showing the robbery in the store as being irrelevant and an attempt to justify the shooting to the masses.

Quote:

As to what transpired in the car between the 6'4 kid and the cop we will probably never know, but from what eyewitness accounts generally agree too, was that Big Mike and his buddy Dorian ran away after a shot was fired inside the cop car.

Officer Wilson than came out of his car and ordered the fleeing youths to halt! When they didn't he made a decision to shoot at Big Mike apparently hitting him in the back which swung Mike around! From the sounds of testimony this is where it gets sketchy because a witness named Mitchell claims the officer pursued Big Mike and was firing his weapon several times before he hit him in the back! According to Ms. Mitchell, Big Mike immediately put up his hands and was pleading to the officer not to shoot him anymore, but the cop for what ever reason apparently continued to fire his gun several more times before fatally hitting Big Mike in the head and he collapsed! When the kid went down, the cop stopped firing and continued to approach his body then paced back and forth as he radioed in for back up!

If that pic is real, looks pretty spot on from the pics at the corner store. Person has the same build, same shirt, same shorts, same shoes.

And from that distance, how on earth can you tell whether the cop is beat up or not? You can't even see his facial features!

Inner cities have become war zones. Despite the fact that over 50% of whites voted for BHO, while blacks hold many high positions in government and are able to attain the same number of achievements as other races, the current conflagration in St. Louis is the fruit of the “race industry” pedaled by the likes of Sharpton; academics who keep the topic of institutional racism and on life support to validate their curriculums and social research paradigms; as well as by liberals and progressives who thrive on concepts of victimhood, dependency, entitlement, collectivism, social justice and equal outcomes, while pandering to their widening base of well-to-do utopians and increasingly discontented dependents (as they too discover the limits of platitudes such as "hope and change").

The current illegitimacy rates for black children is greater than 72%, while in 1940 the black illegitimacy rate was under 20%. Today the poverty rates for intact black and white families are 8% and 5% respectively. I would wager that the majority of the protesters are not in from this demographic, poverty or not.

We have spent tens of trillions of dollars on dependency programs in the US since LBJ declared the war on poverty and set up a program that pays women without a father in the home. The results have been devastating on societal and human development. Alan Greenspan was right when he said that the American people have voted for a welfare state over a trajectory of sound economic principles. We see more evidence every day of the outcomes of bad social welfare policies, yet there is still a debate raging as if there was great doubt regarding the predictability of any of this. I guess the truth really is resisted and disdained before being grudgingly accepted. Unfortunately it is so painful to watch unfold.

The late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan warned back in the 1960's that the welfare state would/could end up destructive to black families and the unpleasant results of doing such and was attacked at the time. Also, I've read that a young, black teen in urban areas in the 1950's was more likely than not to be employed. Today, many of those same young, black men are practically unemployable.

BTW....Moynihan was a liberal Democrat

Selective editing for the sake of scoring a cheap political point.

Here is what the President actually said. I've bolded the part you left out.

"There is never an excuse for violence against police, or for those who would use this tragedy as a cover for vandalism or looting."

Get that ?

NO EXCUSE for violence against police.

NO EXCUSE for the vandalism or looting.

And NO EQUATING either with peaceful protests.

Your post shows a lack of integrity.

[Early Riser]

Immediately after the new information out yesterday Jackson and Sharpton doubled down on their agitating by siding with the view that the police releasing the tape of Brown robbing the convenience store is character assassination, further inciting more looting last night and early this morning.

If, as it is claimed, the officer involved did not know Brown robbed the store 15 minute before the shooting and Brown assumed he did, it would explain how the incident could have easily escalated as Brown would have been more likely to have taken an aggressive stance believing he was being picked up for questioning in the matter.

Then we have the thug friend who was with Brown at the time of the robbery getting air time stating that Brown was shot for no reason other than being in the middle of the road. He should already have been identified as being a suspect as an accomplice to the robbery in question….More evidence that right is wrong and wrong is right when the community organizers and race activists are on the ascendancy. The stance these people take is really just cover for the bigger underlying problem inherent in the ascendency of victimhood, dependency, and entitlement. Until these issues are addressed unequivocally the situation in our inner cities will continue to deteriorate.

[tacklejunkie]

The inner cities in general, and the black family more specifically, IMO, are unfixable. Both became a Petri dish for government largess and should be Exhibit A,B,C,D...for good intentions gone bad.

[Early Riser]

Reverend Al just said at the rally televised on MSNBC that the millions of dollars spent on police riot gear and equipement should have been spent on jobs for the young folks. Aside from the problem of militarization of police, are he and other progressives so dense that they think doubling down on spending more money and creating more programs is going to unwind the damage done by 40 years of miserably failed social welfare programing?

MLK III just said that we are just a few more diversity trainings and jobs programs away from opportunity for all in the inner cities. They are also implying that we should arrest the officer involved and put in place a special prosecutor. To continue to inflame sentiment with such a rush to judgement shows a tendency to appeal to emotions versus critical thinking.

Further confounding objectivity in getting to the truth of the matter of what happened between the officer and the troubled young man, reverend Al, lawyer Crump and the others at the podium are publicly promoting a narrative they know nothing about: That Brown was trying to surrender when he was shot, when in fact we know nothing about what happened in the moments before he was shot. Now the image of raising hands above one's head will join the hoddie as symbols of discontent with those who cannot accept truth and responsibility.

I heard an account, conveniently left out of media reports, captured on audio tape from the perspective of the Brown accomplice in the robbery, that Brown was shot repeatedly after bull-rushing the officer after the initial altercation.

Reverent Al also stated that releasing the information about the strong armed robbery was character assassination of Brown (versus character identification). I even heard one misguided sycophant say that the college where Brown was to be enrolled should name a scholarship after him! A lot of maladaptive parenting has to occur to raise a child into a person that would disrespect authority to the extent that they would feel entitled to walk into a convenience store to brazenly steal while committing assault. That is not a legacy we should ever seriously consider naming a scholarship after.

[flipper]

I do not know what transpired but I know it is hypocritical of you to condemn a speaker for claiming he know what happens and then in the same breath claim you know what happened.

[Early Riser]

The issue is not what I think might have happened, The issue is what was on display by so called leaders and authorities on the matter, further inciting agitation, thus interfering with critical thinking by many so easily swayed by emotion.

So far this weekend three sixteen year olds have been murdered in Chicago, with another 7 teens shot and wounded. No sign of Al calling for justice, or arrests, in these incidents. All he cares about is persecuting white law enforcement offices and dividing the country along racial lines.
