I don't have a problem with the jurors. Anyways, we're discussing some of this in the political forum, if you feel like joining the conversation. Don't want to repeat myself.
It has happened that a police station was taken over by protesters, even burn down to the ground, IIRC.

They should all be indicted for not doing their ing jobs.
Tbh they just picked the lesser of two evils
Can't blame them. Who would you rather piss off? White America and the police forces of all metropolitan areas or... Black America???
The fallout of an indictment would have been more brutal to America. This way ppl will move on by black Friday
Give a brother a turkey leg and ps4 and all is well that ends well. It's sad but it's reality
Eventually, there will be no way to cover it up and someone in law enforcement will have to be held accountable. They can only put bad-aids on a hemorrhaging wound for so long.
That only characterizes a small percentage of the people involved in the protest. There are plenty of pissed off people who protested without looting, mayhem or violence. You're painting with broad strokes.
Sure lots other ppl ticked off but are they doing anything about it? Are you? Nope.
He was unaware of incident when he told him to move out of the street. He was aware of the incident when he backed up and confronted him about the cigars.
Michael Brown made a series of VERY STUPID decisions.
I am going to a protest in an hour.
I'm not arguing that Michael brown made good decisions.
Serious about what? About the fact people are using every little thing to defend pre-defined notions they have? Yes. I am serious. I am serious that the same people rioting about this and using that picture to "prove a point" weren't rioting when the people in that picture before this event were and have been killing each other.
Sure - but it does show a pattern of perhaps violent behavior which if Wilson was unaware of the video, may even make his story more credible that he was attacked.
Also, as you've seen in many of the videos posted, a lot of the people hate cops and could have easily been lying about what they saw. Doesn't change the fact that he should be going to trial where he could be found innocent or guilty, but no one seems to point these things out.
The most ironic part about this to me is the people screaming "stop focusing on the looting and focus on the fact there's a dead kid" are also the same people not placing any blame on the rioters/looters but the "agitator cops". I don't know about you, but no amount of "agitation" will cause me to do stuff like that. That is pre-meditated behavior and deflecting blame from criminals. One injustice (perhaps) does not somehow grant people favor to act like that and get a pass.
Sweet irony (not you). Everyone is doing this and that is what makes me sad. All of this "this has to stop" or "I'm afraid to walk down the streets because of cops". What? I haven't checked the numbers, but how many officers are gunned down/assualted during their jobs vs cops killing black men? How many white men are shot by cops? How many blacks kill other blacks? It's not to say this should be marginalized but a lot of it rings hollow when you see people using something to impose their own biases.
The point is, this number is really small compared to those other numbers (I'm assuming some) and yet no one is going through all this trouble for the gang violence in Chicago. Where are all the #unity tweets and protests for those things which are much larger numbers?
People aren't afraid of cops. They are afraid of what appears to be a small minority of cops who have been caught up in this type of deal. They don't hate all white people, just ones who are racist. Yet the broad-stroking continues on both sides of the fence with very little critical thinking applied.
Take matches man!
U cant make this up

and these clowns expect to be treated seriously smh
CNN disabling comments
That is absolutely true. However, I don't think that they are that closely related. There are protestors who are justifiably hurt, angry and confused, there are vandals who are so angry that they don't know what else to do with the energy, there are vandals that just want to destroy property and there are looters who are just opportunistic criminals. Think of it like a venn diagram with very small crossover areas.
I'm here right now. It's pretty peaceful. No fires yet.
I agree - it was more about the logic of people saying "don't blame the looters, blame the agitators" being the same people who were saying "it's not right to focus on the looters when there is a dead child". One thing does not take away from the other thing. You speak about them both.
i hope you get culturally enriched got
It's a numbers game, .
What? Like what number of n!gger s you can fit in your ass?
The ? I had little to say about the brown case. And why the would I post in this ty forum if I did have something to say?
The only precedent for major changes to the behavior of the police is the Rodney King riots. That brought about major change. That wasn't "civil disobedience" or "hands up don't shoot". That action was violent, and it achieved results.
It is the template to be followed.
Burn the mother er down.
It's the only way to make progress in a country which glorifies violence, military, and persecution of minorities.
There is no precedence since MLK that non-violent civil disobedience achieves anything, and the FBI murdered that nig.
Take to the streets, with 2nd amendment "rights".
Confront the illegitimate authorities.
It's the only way towards progress. The white man backs down when confronted with out of control pushback.
Burn. It. Down.
