coldest post ever on the internet
Who survived that confrontation?
Wilson killed a Black teenager that he was afraid of.
That's exactly what happened.
Wilson couldn't control the situation without killing that Black teenager.
That's a fact.
And it's mighty sad. I predict that we'll hear more about this.
I am so sick of this story. What a bunch of nonsense
.
As I said before, this is almost nothing to do with the cop or the unfortunate dead victim (almost no one who is freaking out knew either of them).
This is about poverty and America's obsession with 'race'.
Wilson said that Brown hit him twice in the face, leading him to be afraid that a third punch “could be fatal.”

You demanded Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson speak out against Black on Black Violence and when given proof that they have you turn around and continue shouting of Partisan talking points? You do realize Ferguson and the ensuing riots isn't, and shouldn't be treated like a left/right issue?

This verdict is almost nothing but an excuse for people that were angry long before this shooting ever happened, to vent their anger.
My solution to all this (long term)?
Fix the economy by getting the government and the Fed out of the way and let American 'free enterprise' fix the problem long term AND many 'blacks' have to stop self-segregating and fully integrate into 'white' mainstream America...whether they or 'whites' want them to.
If 'blacks' that are poor are incredibly naive enough to think that the government will fix their problems with more welfare and affirmative action programs and the like...forget it.
You have to get out of the slums and do it for yourselves. And not through sports or music (that only will work for a tiny minority), through hard work, imagination and perseverance.
I truly regret that poor 'blacks' find themselves in bad economic situations...but whining about it or rioting won't help your situation. Positive action and a little bravery will.
Stop whining and start doing.
And to 'white' America? Stop being so damned racist.
I have travelled to many first world countries and Americans (on average) are by FAR the most racist bunch I have ever come across. The average American just won't shut up about skin color.
Take Canada, they have racism. But I guarantee you it is a HECK of a lot easier for a poor 'black' Canadian to integrate with mainstream Canadain society then it is for a poor 'black' American to do likewise. Not because they have more government 'race' programs (as far as I know, they have none)...but because most Canadians don't judge people NEARLY as much on the color (or colour) of their skin as average Americans do.
Stop looking at people as 'races' and just look at them as people.
Maybe if most average, 'white' Americans (and the 'white' dominated media) stopped thinking of 'black' Americans as a different 'race' and just looked upon them as Americans, 'blacks' would find it easier to fully integrate into 'white' society.

face of the cop immediately after the shooting, fearful that the next punch to this face might have been fatal
hmmmm
now, the 18 year old just got shot in the hand during the tussle at the police SUV. he runs away
and the next thing he does as an unarmed shooting victim is charge the shooter who he knows to have a gun and is willing to use it?
does that make sense?
Why dont you show the lateral view where the bruising on his jaw can be seen?
You are attempting to assign rational thought to an irrational act, good luck with that.
Almost a perfect post, but believe me, Europe is more racist than America. From Stockholm to Naples, you don't have racist chants at sporting events... and that the great message of FIFA is Say No to Racism reveals the depth of the problem. That simply isn't tolerated in the US.
Extrapolate that through society... the problem is greater in the EU than the US... nonetheless, I'll "like" your post for it's mostly spot on.
There are racists, on both sides... I wouldn't put the onus on whites being racist... there are some surely, but the bigger problem is the vile race baiters leading the blacks. They are poison.
There is racism everywhere... and it will never go away... but America has made massive leaps since the 50's, but some folks simply can't let go. They depend on that 90% following and to hell with society at large.
you show it to us
PLEASE!
i want to see a face that tells us he had reasonable reason to believe the next blow to it could have been fatal
so, please do show us that photo

this is all that i have. show us the photo you insist will exculpate the shooter
I appreciate the compliment, but I have to disagree a little.
I think you are right that Europe is more prejudiced then America - i.e. their poor seem to have a more open hatred for people that are 'different' (skin color, religion, you name it). But I think when it comes to 'blacks' specifically - I think America is more judgemental and prejudicial then Europe. That is how I see it anyway.
It's not that average, white Americans hate 'blacks' - I doubt they do. But they still think of them as 'them' instead of 'us'. Americans have to get past that if they ever want their 'race' problems to be reduced to a reasonable level.
And I think once there is more integration, that misconception will fall away.
As for racism going on for ever? In our lifetimes, sure.
But eventually (hopefully) there will be so much integration that the 'pure races' will virtually disappear...almost everyone will be a mutt. I look forward to that day (even though I will be long dead when it comes).
Though, humans will just find some other reason to be prejudiced, I am afraid. Heck, in Japan, there is actually judgements about blood type. :roll:
The importance of blood type in Japanese culture ? Japan Today: Japan News and Discussion
That's true... Many Muslims in the EU have no intention to integrate, but to dominate.Also, blacks in america aren't the same as muslims in europe. Muslims in europe have never had and don't want to adopt european values and integrate. In fact, they want to force europeans to live by their ways, reducing europe from the prosperous place that it is, into what the ME is basically.
So basically, you're in favor of genocide? Let's wipe out all the races and replace it with one singular race.
I love you people. "progressives". It would take a truly progressive mind to desire genocide as a solution to racial problems.

Nope... and this goes beyond the general public and to the police.I appreciate the compliment, but I have to disagree a little.

I don't think it's a them vs. us.It's not that average, white Americans hate 'blacks' - I doubt they do. But they still think of them as 'them' instead of 'us'. Americans have to get past that if they ever want their 'race' problems to be reduced to a reasonable level.
Perhaps the business owners who lost thir livelyhood to these thugs could finish the job by going back today and burning down the projects. And perhaps emergency services could refuse to do anything about it.Always playing the victim, aren't you?
For shame.
If it was my city I would let it burn.
You might want to cool those emotional jets, as usual - your judgement is severely clouded.

Simpleχity;1064019537 said:The prosecutor has no control over the composition of the grand jury. The Ferguson MO grand jury of twelve was composed of 7 men and 5 women of various socioeconomic background. All are from the St. Louis area. 9 are white and 3 are black. 9 grand jury votes constitutes agreement for case disposition. It would be interesting to know the total vote to dismiss and how jurors voted by gender and race.
The Grand Jury was convened and sworn in some time before the shooting even took place. They just sit and wait for something to debate on, and unfortunately for them, they got this case.
It would be interesting to know the vote breakdown but the GJ is one of the most secretive processes in our justice system so we'll never know. Of course, as many times as the Prosecutor said that last night it didn't stop the idiots in the audience from asking him repeatedly. That guy really held himself together. I'm sure he was thinking "You can keep asking me the question 10 times and you'll get the same answer, assclown".
I think it's also worth pointing out that the demographics of the St. Louis metropolitan area is 76.9% White and 18.1% African American. Therefore with a grand jury that was 9 white and 3 black, it perfectly represented the demographics of the region.
