Ferguson Decision

They can burn out the few non-burnt buildings that aren't in a neighborhood patrolled by Hispanics, Asians, or whites.

Meanwhile, on the streets of Ferguson:
And just like that, what little support I still had left for the protestors is gone. I say if Ferguson is so intent on tearing itself apart, let it. The next time there's a huge national controversy the ruins can stand as a warning of what will happen if they let it get out of control.

About maybe a week ago, I remember tuning in to one of the live Ustreams that was being taken place right in front of this building. At that time, the person carrying around the camera was explaining how the protesters we're being co-opted by some college group from NY that were part of the New Communist Movement or some stupid shit. Just something completely unrelated to what had happened, but it gave them a platform to stand on and a place to be seen. They obviously didn't care about the events that led up to it, they just wanted to go yell at cops and feel important. And yeah, while I have no problems with people wanting to have their own beliefs, when they co-opt others unwillingly into their own, I just stop caring about either. That night the protestors looked and sounded like a joke and that was the night I stopped caring about the whole damn thing.

So I sort of expected this but it's sad how many witnesses just made shit up. I remember seeing one person on cnn change their story during an interview when told the autopsy did not match their story.

"Another witness had told the FBI that Wilson shot Brown in the back and then "stood over him and finished him off." But in his grand jury testimony, this witness acknowledged that he had not seen that part of the shooting, and that what he told the FBI was "based on me being where I'm from, and that can be the only assumption that I have."

Another man, describing himself as a friend of Brown's, told a federal investigator that he heard the first gunshot, looked out his window and saw an officer with a gun drawn and Brown "on his knees with his hands in the air." He added: "I seen him shoot him in the head."But when later pressed by the investigator, the friend said he had not seen the actual shooting because he was walking down the stairs at the time and instead had heard details from someone in the apartment complex.

"among many others.


It's another example of the media fucking things up. By sensationalizing this case a bunch of people likely decided to lie and make shit up "for justice"

I am from Missouri and the Ferguson thing has been nonstop news here for months.

Although I have been intentionally avoiding news and conversations about this for the most part, I have been subjected to enough to have an opinion. The issue here seems to me not so much racism in the police force as excessive force is. However, racism in our society and the media in responding to this is very clear. An unarmed white man was killed in Salt Lake City recently by a black cop and there was virtually no outrage over it.

Murders happen all the time and it is terrible every time, but to give ALL of this outrage and media attention to the Ferguson case while practically ignoring all others is disgraceful.

It's much, much more often that cops are killing black people. Racism is clearly a big part of the issue.

Quite correct the most Blacks and Native American are far more likely to be killed by Police then Whites or Asians
Native Americans, 0.8 percent of the population, comprise 1.9 percent of police killings. African Americans, 13 percent of the population, are victims in 26 percent of police shootings. Law enforcement kills African Americans at 2.8 times the rate of white non-Latinos, and 4.3 times the rate of Asians.

basicly twice as likely compared to population rate

Although I don't disagree completely, at least some of that is due to higher rate of crime among those populations as well. You can blame that on what you like, but there are a lot of different causes.

True and I will admit that it a failing of those numbers
 
By the logic of the "blacks are often killed by police officers , thus racism" argument black men must be unbelievably racist against black people since they kill them at such a crazy rate.

The main reason black people are shot by cops more often is simple. More of them adhere to a culture that glorify crime, disrespect for authority, violence ect... Hence they tend to be more likely to do stuff that causes them to be shot by cops.

The fact that SJW never take on thug/ghetto culture is one of the first problems that made me realize how terrible they were. It's easily the most anti-women, pro violence, "problematic" culture in America. Yet they won't touch it because it must be the White Peoples fault for oppressing these people somehow.

Well no, black people killing other black people wouldn't inherently have racist motivations because they're the same race. Black people are the people black people deal with regularly because they deal with them daily, due to racism. They live in the same areas.

I wouldn't say the crime rate per population is higher, but the rate for getting punished for it is. The #crimingwhilewhite thing going around on Twitter was stupid for so many reasons, but it did provide so many examples of a white person getting away with law breaking.

Witness 40 has been confirmed to have lied to the Grand Jury, came to police with her story after Wilson's version was presented in the press, made racist comments in the past INCLUDING about Brown and is an untreated bipolar. The police knew about her from past events where her evidence was believed o be fraudulent.

Just wow. I thought that juror coming out and trying to make a book deal defending Zimmerman was bad, but this takes the cake.
