The lootings not justified ? How can you say that ? You and the looters share an opinion.
That opinion based on witness accounts DOES justify rioting apparently but the problem is those accounts are NOT complete.
I haven't heard one of the witnesses explain how the Police officer recieved his injuries.
What happened INSIDE the Police cruiser ? I bet you there was allot more than " arm wrestling " going on and I dont believe for one second that the door was kicked shut accidentally.
If this kid went for the officers gun the SHOOTING is justified, but there is not one witness account that mentions it.
This source says the police officer approached them because they were walking in the middle of the street. Things went down hill from there.No, the police were called because these two st I Le from the QT. See you don't even have that right.
Can anyone confirm if the officer Darren Wilson is white or Black?
If he is Black, it would likely remove the large racial component there.
Ferguson police identify officer who fatally shot Michael Brown
A large part of the protest appears to be that the shooting was racial.Why exactly would that make a difference?
Michael Brown shooting, protests highlight racial divide - CNN.com
There you go, CNN, awesome job!
Keep stirring up that pot, keep that animosity at a fever's pitch, feed the lifeblood that keeps you healthy and relevant.
The Middle East, Ukraine, Israel vs Hamas......not your cup of tea. Stick to what feeds the beast.

If the Officer himself was black, it could remove some of the racial aspect of the case.
What exactly are you upset about?
Who is Tiffany Mitchel, and when did she testify as an eyewitness under oath?
It will not. It's more about overly aggressive policing in mostly black neighborhoods, than about white vs black violence.
I see this keep getting mentioned in the media and on here:
Two-thirds of Ferguson's population is black, and yet the mayor is white, and so are five of the six city council members.
The police chief is also white. There are only three African-Americans on the 53-person police force.
How many blacks applied to be officers and were rejected? How many blacks ran for city council or Mayor?
Nobody can seem to answer that, but everyone bitches about the racial makeup. If blacks aren't trying to be police officers, then yes, there won't be many on the force.
An entire story dedicated to show how white the police department and government are in Ferguson. Obviously, white people are incapable of performing a function like this in a black community, right? (Don't need an answer because I know it already.)
Did these white candidates defeat black candidates in elections? Are blacks turned away from positions in the police department? Or....do they just not attempt to get these positions? Whatever the answers, CNN and MSNBC won't vet it out properly. They'll just use it as gas for the fire.
If you think liberals really care about these folks in Ferguson, you're kidding yourselves. Just like beheadings in Iraq don't bother them enough to really do anything substantial about it.

The article suggest if the ratio of black officers reflected the racial makeup of the area , things would be better.
If the Officer involved were black, that aspect of the story would loose some credibility.

I am not, but rather point out that part of their article suggested that the racial makeup of the Police departmentYou can't blame CNN for reporting how the black community feels.
CNN is the one saying that having a greater ratio of black officers would help.I don't agree with that. I live in NYC and we have a large number of "minority" police. It didn't stop this from happening...
When you empower the police to act in a very aggressive manner in specific neighborhood, they'll eventually get out of control.
I am not, but rather point out that part of their article suggested that the racial makeup of the Police department
was somehow to blame. If the Officer is black, it may change the tone of the story.
I admit I have not followed this story closely, Police shootings happen a often.
Most Police shootings are justified, some are not.
This case like any other should be properly investigated, and not tried by mod or media.
Since it is unknown if there is a racial aspect to this shooting, Perhaps the media
should not play up that part of the story.
I agree. I think the media may also not be helping, by adding to the perception that this shooting was racial,The Police could have handled this so much better. When Police act like jackbooted thugs, things get out of control. Whether or not it is racial, black folks feel it adds salt to the wounds when it is done by people who don't reflect the makeup of the community. Perception is everything.
CNN is the one saying that having a greater ratio of black officers would help.
I think they are just fanning the flames.
