If the story is as the witnesses report, then that cop should be strung and let the citizens of Ferguson beat him like piñata.

All of their rioting and looting should show the authorities who's in the right and wrong

 

[Silverback]

I find it hard to believe that an officer would shoot in broad daylight without being warranted. I said hard to believe, I did not say impossible to believe.

 

[Gr8hope]

I found it hard to believe the police would just stand by and watch looting and destruction occur without making arrests.

Until the day the community instigators show all this SAME outrage over the 7,000 blacks killed by other blacks every single year, don't expect me to regard all the "outrage" as anything other than manufactured outrage and racism.

If your outrage is only because the cop doing the killing is white and you want to ignore 7,000 other murders then quite frankly you (generic) are every bit as racist as those you want to accuse of it.

Racism is a multi-million dollar a year business saith the late, great bayoutider.

I'll bet you dollars to donuts (pardon the obvious pun) the cop is white and that's the ONLY reason for this rioting crap.

Any killing is a tragedy as is any racism. But selective outrage that only flares up when whitey is the perpetrator tells me more about the outraged person than about the alleged killer.

I wonder how much looting the witness took part in...

You know if a black cop shot the kid, there would some disappointment and he would be labeled an "uncle tom" but it wouldn't go much further than that.

Yep, me too. Seems like strike two against the police. You're there to protect private property, instead, you sit by and watch these lunatics vandalize and steal. That's when I'm ok with the cops unleashing a hellfire of bullets.

A kid who apparently ran, then stopped and raised his hands should have never been shot imho.

Agreed, that's why I put the caveat on my comment.

They are their own worst enemy. When they figure that one out they'll begin making progress as a race in this country. Until then it will be same song same dance over and over.

Let me make something clear: I am NOT siding with the cop here. I try to hold my views close to the vest until actually determining what happened. I am also NOT siding AGAINST the victim here, either.

In my view, anyone who sides with the cop merely because he's white has some racial animus; and anybody who sides with the victim merely because he's black has the same problem.

What I HAVE sided is AGAINST the looters and rioters WHATEVER their color. Because none of them truly gives a damn about murder, racism, or poverty.

unless you have been spending time with these folks in ferguson, you have no idea what they "truly give a damn about", and you are just projecting your views onto them

Which is why he posted it on the NSB forum. He fits right in.

Anybody who knows me knows that I am the first to criticize LEO's because they almost always get away with it.

However, I will never understand how burning down a liquor store and looting makes someone feel better about it.

Fair enough.

Should I go back and find the hundreds of things you've commented on in places you aren't living and make the same ignorant remark about you, 92?

 

[cbi1972]

I don't think I need to spend time with looters to have an opinion on them.

why would you need to go back, i thought you remembered everything.

and you dont need my permission to keep making ignorant remarks about me or anyone else.

 

[92tide]

I don't think I need to spend time with looters to have an opinion on them.

its when those opinions get extrapolated to "telling" black folks in general when and how they are allowed to be outraged that i take issue with it.

I'll go out on a limb and say that they are not allowed to express outrage by rioting.

and i agree with you. but there are plenty of folks there expressing outrage peacefully, they just dont get their pictures sent around to show how "those" folks act.
