Or arms out, staggering towards the officer because you are dying.

I think the quote by Douglas is very appropriate in regard to the current racial situation in this country.

Punch a police officer, run away, get chased and killed. And this is justice.

Why? because he's a punk, and we're fine with street justice for punks, especially punks who don't even look like us.

Nothing new here. Move along.



Now don't tell me I'm wrong. Tell me how it is that you know, with utter certainty, that I am wrong.

An unsigned, unattributed report of anonymous 'evidence,' found on a propaganda website.

Did it occur to you for one second that it could be a total lie?

Nothing says 'I want justice!' like looting a tv.

If it lasts long enough you can use it as a teachable moment for your kids, on the anniversary date.

Nothing says 'I don't care what you want' like sarcasm.

If only race had any bearing what occurred when Officer Wilson defended himself against thug Brown. The key issue was sworn authority versus assailant. If Wilson is black, Brown white, and we get the same result?

It's STILL a good shoot.
