I'm glad to see it too Zeke, because quite frankly I don't trust the cops in cases like this.

I've seen too much of their shit in my life.

Missed again. Follow our post trail. You said incident and I responded using incident. Then you used Ferguson as did I in my reply. Prior to you latest post we were in sync that this thread is about the Ferguson incident. Not sure where editing comes in to play.


finnbow: I wonder how many other young black men have been shot around the country since this incident, mostly by their peers.

My comment: If you know that most of the young African American men shot since this incident were shot by a peer, you'd know how many in total were shot.

Your reply: Minus one on account of Ferguson. Hence the uproar. This reply includes the Ferguson incident, but your original post starts the body count after the incident.

My reply: You said after Ferguson finnbow. Try again.


I guess you didn't get my original point, or you're obfuscating.

With the significant difference that, decades ago, folks were fighting for the rights of people to act free in society and, today, apologists are supporting the ability of a suspected criminal to resist arrest...

That's nothing more than entitlement.

He's being practical and not falling to the race baiting agenda. I'm actual surprise of a few individuals on this site I felt would surely do so but are not.

Funny thing about life "Shit Happens" illrelivent of agendas. Neither of the two in the altercation woke up that morning knowing they would affect history in that manor.

Race Baiter Sharpton right on cue

“This is a defining moment in this country,” said the Rev. Al Sharpton. All over the world, “the debate is how the rights of the people are dealt with by the state,” he said.

“These parents are not going to cry alone, they’re not going to stand alone. ... We have had enough,” he said.

Sharpton denounced the release of a video of Brown in an apparent robbery minutes before the shooting. “The issue is how the young man ... was shot multiple times.”

Sharpton tunes incidents like this to be about Sharpton.

I'm hearing things are not looking good tonight. Large crowd gathering, and it's not a block party tonight.
500 to 700 people at McD's and at police station

No, I'm just sick of the whole circus surrounding this event, including all the baseless speculation. Unless the rules have changed, justice is served through a thorough investigation, a grand jury, and indictment and a trial based upon evidence and sworn testimony. It just seems to me that some on this board actually believe that they have enough information to short cut this system and jump right to the verdict.

Nobody directly involved in this sorry spectacle has covered themselves in glory, from the cops to the media to the community itself. I expect to develop a better understanding of what actually happened as the legal process unfolds, not as a result of somebody here throwing a dart in a dark room.
