Jim, you missed the point of the protests. They thought that based on their experience a black person in that area was going to be treated differently (and harsher) than a white person would. I think Spence used the word boiling point or something similiar. The shooting was the boiling point and based on the report it sounds like they were justified in protesting. The protesters got tired of being harrassed and used as a source of revenue by a rogue policy dept. When it announced there would be no charges against Wilson they will feel that a white policeman will never be brought to justice.

And you don't think the mention of Sharpton brings out posters who never post otherwise (although it obviously won't happen now).

Maybe Spence adores Pres. Obama, but I don't. I think he is far better than what the Repub. party has put up for a number of years.
