Frank Hermann from the "Stuttgarter Zeitung" asked for the name of the officer who arrested him. He got this pretty meaningful answer: "Donald Duck!"

It was not a very good idea to shoot another Afro-American close to Ferguson. What Ferguson needs is an effective de-escalation. Instead the police pours gas into the fire.

Is it that hard to see that meaningful civil protest is so easily negated by looters running down the street with a deli slicer under their arm?

This is America, more tough guys with military weapons is always the answer. Just ask any NRA zealot.

Oh, that's right; That's only when it's the NRA zealots that have the military weapons, not the cops or the idiots that just lifted the deli slicer. Sorry, my bad.

Haha blaming the NRA. That's hilarious, I bet its Obama's fault. Or maybe Bush's? Maybe it's the economy or common core?

No excuse for the looting it's pathetic.

We should downsize all police departments to save money. There are so many good citizens out there and with open carry who needs a bunch of guys who look pretty in uniforms eating at Dunkin Donuts?

It is a slam dunk!

Well you can cool it
You can beat it
'Cause baby, I don't need it
Take your TV tube and eat it
And the phony stuff on sports
And all the unconfirmed reports
You know I watch that rotten box
Until my head begins to hurt
From checkin' out the way
The newsman say they get the dirt
Before the guys on channel so-and-so
And further they assert
That any show they interrupt
To bring you news if it comes up
They say that if the place
Blows up today
We'll be the first to tell
'Cause the boys they go downtown
Are workin' hard and doin' swell
And if anybody gets the news
Before it hits the street
They say that no one gets it faster
And their coverage can't be beat
And if another woman driver
Gets machinegunned from her seat
They'll send a joker with a brownie
And you'll see it all complete

Well I seen the fires burnin'
And the local people turnin'
On the merchants and the shops
Who used to sell them brooms and mops
And every household item
Watch the mob just turn and bite 'em
And they say it serves 'em right
Because a few of 'em were white
But it's the same across the nation
Black and white discrimination
They're yellin, "You can't understand me!"
And all the other crap they hand me
In the papers and TV and
All the mass stupidity
That seems to grow more every day
Each time your hear some nitwit say
He wants to go and do you in
Because the color of your skin
Just don't appeal to him
No matter if it's black or white
Because he's out for blood tonite.

-------------------------------------------------------

So Mr. President, how much has changed since then?

Ok, the looters are pathetic. Pathetic pathetic pathetic.

Now what?

And no fair trying to figure out what's making this happen. That would be making excuses for the pathetic looters.

No one will ever know exactly what happened to Mr Brown. There are two sides to the story and one side we horribly will never get to hear. The police will lie if they need to. So will Brown's friends who were there. Three sides to every story.
