Can't say I blame him at all for feeling that way.

Link wasn't working right before but it is now I believe.

People need to stop being idiots. The Brown case was only the straw that broke the camel's back. Ferguson PD was proven to be racially discriminatory for years. If people don't think years of police discrimination deserves to be protested, they are close-minded and/or bigoted.

Also, it's absolutely ridiculous to blame Obama or the DOJ for the looting/rioting. They encouraged peaceful protests (which, as stated above, were justified due to the proven systematic racism of Ferguson police) only. They can't control the free will of opportunistic thieves. Obama's name isn't Charles Xavier.

Seems to me that the Missouri government is butthurt that their racism got exposed on a nationwide level.

They basically pulled a "no you!"

The man speaks the truth, Obama never should have been part of the Treyvon Martin case either.

Could you have imagined the backlash if a white president had taken the side of some Meth head over an innocent Black man saying, "if I had a son, he'd probably look like Methy."

It's a completely idiotic stance. And the sad thing is, as evidenced by the OP, there are actually people buying into it.

So we should just ignore racism then? Allow it to happen but do nothing to rectify it? Seems like a blatant denial of responsibility.

Just because your ideology doesn't allow facts doesn't mean facts dissapear.

The facts are that Ferguson PD abused blacks for years and after a final incident, there was an inevitable rebellion. Are you denying Ferguson PD deserved to be protested for their years of racism?

Republican Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder on Tuesday also asserted that the department was "staffed with Marxists and black radicals"

Any questions?

You realize not every act of White on Black violence is fueled by Racism? Wilson was responding to a call and was assaulted by a thug.

That's all that's pertinent to the case. //// everything else is just mud to smear folks.

I agree. I actually side with Wilson regarding the shooting. But it wasn't the shooting alone that incited the protests. It was years if PROVEN racial abuse. I don't agree that Brown's death was racist, but as stated, it was the straw that broke the camel's back. If Ferguson PD wasn't racist for years, Brown's death wouldn't have caused the protests it did. Or are you saying years of racism should be ignored?

If the Cops arbitrarily were targeting Black folk, sure but when given context on the crime numbers it is prejudice which while not great it's not a horrible thing.

Racial prejudice is not a horrible thing?

If there is a racial Bias in Mo it isn't helped by a mass breach of laws by the "targeted" community.

So again, you are lumping together the peaceful protesters and the opportunistic looters?
