Many here are explicitly trying to pin responsibility for these occurrences on Obama, Holder and Sharpton. Hence, scapegoating.
So, threats to kill cops, two dead cops and millions of dollars in destroyed property is what, exactly? A figment of the imagination? It doesn't really exist? The media is lying about it? What?

I'm not talking about raw numbers, I'm talking about rates. I'm on my phone now, so citing sources is a bit of a pain, but when I'm at work later I can post some actual stats.
You have to admit, Obama and Holder haven't sdone a damn thing to discourage the violence. Sharpton has actually encouraged it.
All three have made it very clear that they sympathize with the movement, while Sharpton is a leader of the movement.
While consternating about Brown and Garner and how it proves that the system is racist and out to **** black folks, none of you ever express any outrage over black on black crime.

You are right. They have changed the video. The previous video showed the incident throughout the shooting. Check out the CNN story and video.I have. Check your source again. There's only one video there and it is the same freaking video from a LOOOONG distance where nothing can be seen with certainty and it freezes before the shooting starts. No complete video, no additional two videos. I don't doubt that this evidence you are talking about was there before, but in any case, it doesn't seem to be there any longer unless I'm really looking at the wrong place.
Its already been CLEARLY established. Black lives dont matter. CAUSES matter.You have to admit, Obama and Holder haven't sdone a damn thing to discourage the violence. Sharpton has actually encouraged it.

Yes, more whites than blacks die as a result of an encounter with police, but whites also represent a much bigger chunk of the total population.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention keeps data on fatal injuries from 1999 to 2011 and one category is homicides by legal intervention. The term "legal intervention" covers any situation when a person dies at the hands of anyone authorized to use deadly force in the line of duty.
Over the span of more than a decade, 2,151 whites died by being shot by police compared to 1,130 blacks. In that respect, Medved is correct.
However, Brian Forst, a professor in the Department of Justice, Law and Criminology at American University, said this difference is predictable.
"More whites are killed by the police than blacks primarily because whites outnumber blacks in the general population by more than five to one," Forst said. The country is about 63 percent white and 12 percent black.
Rather than comparing the raw numbers, you can look at the likelihood that a person will die due to "legal intervention" in the same way you might look at the chance a person will die in a car accident or a disease like lung cancer. When you do that, the numbers flip.
A 2002 study in the American Journal of Public Health found that the death rate due to legal intervention was more than three times higher for blacks than for whites in the period from 1988 to 1997.
This might be useful at this point -

I've asked repeatedly for instances of Sharpton encouraging violence. Crickets.

We've moved past that. I understand why you can't let it go, but you really need to.
Seriously? You don't think his rhetoric plays any role whatsoever? Not to mention his long history of inciting actual deadly violence. You've never heard of Freddy's Fashion Mart? Crown Heights? You cannot be serious, you are not that dumb.
No, we haven't moved past that, since nobody has provided anything.
The "Black community" certain has intra-community issues to address. It doesn't make racists like you and the trigger-happy cops who shoot them any less of a problem, though.
I'm a racist? Put the race card away...it's invalid.
The rest of us have and you need to catch up.
If Al Sharpton were a communist, you guys would have been screaming it for years, since that's your go-to attack.
I know that you are trying to play 'devils advocate' in some of your hypothesis, but come on. Earlier you posed a scenerio where it could have been the kids finger pointing to an area...Now you pose that it may have been a cell phone? Either you believe that police are that incompetent, or you're reaching, and only able to come up with absurd scenerio.
That goes back well before hands-up-don't-shoot.
I know, but if blacks commit crime at a higher rate per capita, that would explain the data you're citing. I'd still like to see your stats though.
You have to work today? That sucks.
Similarly, their "dear leader" isn't helping them improve their living situation worth a darn.
:roll:
The funny thing is, I don't doubt that many of you guys really do believe they possess some extrasensory power that can rile up the black hordes, so when they say "be peaceful," it turns on the "kill cops" protocol. Sort of like Order 66.
