DOJ exonerates Ferguson officer Wilson

[buckman]

I wonder if these are the same people that were looting that were unfairly harassed by the police.
Let's be honest here ,there was no way that Holder was going to walk away without throwing somebody under the bus to make it look like it was somebody else's fault ( preferably somebody white)

So it's a whitewash? Not possible that there is any truth in what he said?

Probably. All the examples and statistics the report gave where made up. Besides, he said "let's be honest here."

I have to agree with Buck here. This entire affair is a fabrication concocted by Al Sharpton. Racism is a myth along with Global Warming.

Oh no, you mentioned Sharpton - that is going to take this to 5 pages.

Paul, this president you and Spence adore, listens to Sharpton, relies on him in racial matters. Given Sharpton's track record, that should concern you, that Obama holds a racist, hatemongering liar in such high regard.

I think to a degree yes blacks are being profiled . Unfairly is debatable . At the risk of being called a racist , for the most part police officers , over time , get pretty good at being able to spot suspicious looking activity . The fact that blacks are involved in this activity more then others , especially in certain neighborhoods could account for this profiling .
If you win 90% of the time you play a certain number , why pick a different one .
And let's give credit it's due here . Holder does nothing to protect these neighbor hoods . When the #^&#^&#^&#^& hits the fan it's always a cop that risks his life .

"Holder does nothing to protect these neighbor hoods "

And neither does Al Sharpton. You kno wwho has done an immense amount of good in poor, black, urban neighborhods? Rudy Giuliani, whose aggressive policing cut murder rates by more than 50%, saving thousands of lives. Most of the lives saved? Blacks. But he's a racist because he has no use for El Deuce.

Yes, there is that. If blacks commit a disproportionate share of the crime, common sense suggests they should represent a disproportionate share of the arrests. Blacks, of course, are not genetically programmed to break the law. It's not ethnic, it's socio-economic. Tragically, current black culture embraces and celebrates values and decisions that greatly increase one's chances of living in poverty. Ironically, it's what conservatives preach (stay in school, get a good job, go to church, marry for love, don't have kids unless you are in love and financially stable) that's precisely what poor people need to lift themselves out of poverty. But instead of embracing what conservatives preach, conservatives are labeled as racists who only care about the wealthy.
