Burning to the ground will lead to the government to build more public housing which would be good for Furgeson at the expense of the tax payers.

Since when is it ok to get into a scuffle with a cop trying to get his gun ???
Guarantee had he got the gun and shot/killed the cop Sharpton, Jackson, the Black Panthers and the rest of the race baiters would be no where to be found.

You don't think centuries of medical experiments on blacks w/o their knowledge or having police dogs attacking you or having fire hoses shooting water on you all for peacefully protesting have nothing do with it? How about being told you can't sit at a counter b/c of the color of your skin? How about being spit upon b/c you want to go to a certain school? How about in NY where every case a white detective got a murder conviction against a black defendent they found he made up evidence. Yup, those damn liberals!

At least I got my laugh for the day.

My laugh yesterday was people comparing a shooting by the police to a shooting by criminals in Chicago and wondering why there weren't protests over that as if they are the same thing.

Would the reaction had been the same if a black cop shot a white kid - absouletly not. And this is b/c there are very few instances of black cops shooting white kids. From the black perspective, this is far too common. Was the shooting justified? I tend to give the police the benefit of the doubt so I think it prob. was. But I don't have to deal with a history of being discriminated against to color my opinion and anyone who ignores that history is naive.

If the cop car had a camera this prob. wouldn't be an issue.

That's a pretty large list of excuses.
I will guarantee you that not one of the thugs or looters have experienced any of it. What I will guarantee you they have experienced is handouts, excuse making, opportunities created especially because they are a minority and constantly being told there is a reason they cannot succeed.
There are plenty of other minority groups in this country that have succeeded. You think it was easy but my great-grandparents to come to this country being Irish?? They were not given any handouts . They relied on family, and pride.
The black community needs to find a sense of self-worth and pride. There are plenty of examples of blacks that have succeeded to the top. The list is long, mostly conservative but for the most part vilified by the liberals. I cannot for the life of me understand why liberals claim to be on the side of the black man but do everything they can to keep him down

So you just want to ignore everything and just call them "excuses". No wonder the Repubs. get such a small amount of the black vote (and then wonder why).

The looters are criminals, pure and simple.

At this point , that's what they are being used as. I'm pretty sure the Republicans know why they get a small percentage of the black vote and Democrats should be ashamed of themselves

BINGO AGAIN.

The ironic thing, is that it's the principles of conservatism (the right of the individual to thrive, small governmemt, free market, compassion for the needy, personal responsibility, and the right of all of us to climg th eeconomic ladder) that is PRECISELY what poor peopl eneed to climb out of this.

Democrats have crippled these people by making them adddicted to welfare - just enough to stay alive, not nearly the tools to get ahead. Then every November, the liberals say "vote for me if you want to continue getting freebies, because my opponent will take the freebies away from you".

As you said, the democrats should be ashamed. The results speak for themselves. And there is no ambiguity in the results.

Jeez,I wonder

Do you suppose it is because they have an inclination to vote for the candidate who promises the most benefits from the public treasury.? It certainly is not for protection from murdering their own kind at a rate which angers themselves,but not enough to change.

I wasn't sure what the definition of racism is so I decided to look at wikipedia:

1st paragraph

"Racism consists of both prejudice and discrimination based in social perceptions of biological differences between peoples. It often takes the form of social actions, practices or beliefs, or political systems that consider different races to be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other, based on presumed shared inheritable traits, abilities, or qualities. It may also hold that members of different races should be treated differently"

There is no doubt there is racism all over this case . Created racism. But it appears that racism was not a factor in this case. I for one am sick of Caucasians being perceived as racist when it simply isn't the case.
By the way speaking the truth isn't racism

What's your point, exactly? That there is a thing called 'racism'? We agree on that.

Well I took a page from yoru book, and looked up the word "gullable".

According to dictionary.com, it's an adjective that means "easily deceived". And by jimminy, that seems to describe all the bleeting sheep that immediately assume racism ("baaaah...raaaaacism!") every time the cop is white and the corpse is black.

Always protect the narrative...

I'd like to see a camera mounted on police guns. The moment the gun gets pulled out of the holster, the camera starts recording Video and audio. If the gun is fired, it won't stop recording until the chip is full. That will put an end to all of the speculation of questionable killings.

Now even out glorious governor has deemed it worthy to chime in on this event, following right along with the "popular" mob....err, crowd.....err..., I mean opinion!

Now when it is all over, after all the media hype has passed, after the National Guard has returned to their barracks, after the local businesses count up their losses for whatever insurance they have, after all the dust has cleared, we will probably see claims for FEMA $$ and claims that the city, state and government isn't doing enough to repair the damges fast enough!

Gee, maybe they'll have a telethon or release a "We are da world" song to raise money for ethic ignorance and awareness for the city?

Or maybe people will try to move and join the rest of the civilized world in the 21st century???
