Seriously? You think that people making statements like that don't affect the court? They have to make a tough decision KNOWING if uneducated citizens don't get their ways there will be riots. The officer was completely innocent. Prior to the cop shooting him the guy had already broke his eye socket! Im sorry but if a guy more then twice my size had done that then was getting ready to have a second go at it there would be no other option. The officer gave him multiple warnings to backdown in which he did not. /rant
Take a few sociology classes and you'll see there is a huge gap that exist with opportunity. Case in point. Students sitting in a class. The teacher places a trash can in the front of the room. Every student is given a wad of paper. The teacher then states that everyone that can make that paper in the trash can from their desk gets an A. The people in the back complain while those in the front don't. Point is that those who are privileged don't care about those who are in the back of the room. I assure you that society in General is still racially segregated because of policies and stereotypes that people won't let go of.
Uh huh. We have a black President. How's that for a racist society? People claiming racism are simply looking for an excuse to be victims....For whatever reason. It's frankly disgraceful and if anyone is limiting their opportunities it's the people violently protesting and/or claiming to be victims. And this President has an opportunity to point to all things being possible in America as a case in point. But instead he incites when he has the perfect stage to unite and set a positive example. What a waste of a Presidential opportunity. Grow up all you race baiters. Try to do something productive for a change.
OP pretty sure we'd like to get the whole article Why did he shoot him? What were their reasons for not charging? Etc.
Do you know the number of whites that didn't vote for him due to his skin color? Lol. We have a black president? That means nothing. Racism lives.
You are a dumbass. Nothing I said was racist. My statement would be the same rather the thug was black, white, Mexican, Asian, Indian, yellow, purple, green, blue, or red. You are just as bad as the racist people in the world. Anytime someone says something bad about a minority you assume it is due to the fact that it is a minority. When in reality, it was not. A thug us a thug. It doesn't matter where they are from, who they worship, who they sleep with, etc. plain and simple. Now shut up and go away before I really have to make you look stupid.
All you that say he's innocent are idiots. He shot and killed mike brown in cold blood and he should pay for his crimes. Do a little research before you say he's innocent.
He was wanted for strong arm robbery and was attempting to take the cops gun. I don't have to know him to know he was a thug. Do you know everyone personally before you say something about them? Did you know the terrorists responsible for 9/11 before you called them terrorists? Did you know hitler personally before speaking poorly on him? I didn't think so
Right aj. Right. Race baiters like you will always have an irrational reason for believing racism exists. Why you wanna be a victim so badly? Guess all these 'victims' are justified in looting tonight? Really helping their cause well done
Sure! Next time someone punches you in the face and tries to take your gun......just let him do it. I'm sure that person doesn't mean to hurt you. What's wrong with you people?
Dang, insults are out in full force tonight. Sounds like I made you mad. Do you know why he strong armed the store? Maybe he had a reason? We will never know. The term "thug" is an insult. Comparing it to a word like terrorist is uncalled for. -- The looting and rioting is uncalled for. Why not see where I stand before making claims?
IT'S quite apparent you are the idiot! It was not cold blood! Before the officer ever pulled the trigger he gave Mike MANY warnings. The kid had already broke the officers eye socket! And was getting ready to charge him again! Imagine a guy 2x your size who made it quite apparent he wanted the cop dead charging you after that! The officer was in the right to pull that trigger. The reason multiple rounds were fired is because in training you fire until your threat is no longer a threat. So by your statement you are proving that you yourself are ignorant. Please actually know exactly what happens before you try to judge!
Joseph. I live in a rural southern area. Racism exists. It is no where near as bad, but it exists. How about the fact that governmentally funded college have demographic quotas to fill on admissions? X amount of each minority is to be accepted by the college. I find this utter bull ****. Let's say you need 100 whites, 25 Mexicans, and 25 African Americans. The quota is filled for whites. The school needs 1 more Hispanic and 1 more African American. Contenders: Whites transfer GPA = 3.8 Hispanic 3.2 African 3.2 The minorities are accepted to fill a quota, and the more qualified white is denied. (Please note: this could be reversed and an under qualified white could be accepted over over achieving minorities. I just went with a random example) I just don't see our society improving under these circumstances. Racial profiling barriers need torn down and people need to see each other as what they are: fellow human beings. Stop referring to people as black, white, Hispanic, etc.
Funny you make these statements. First, there was a study done not too long ago (I'll get source when I have more time) where both whites and blacks applied for the same job. All resumes were fake and damn near identical in merits. More white people with stated criminal backgrounds got called back versus blacks with no criminal background mentioned. We have a black president because he is what is known as an exception case, he was privileged with money, most blacks have little to no money. Your logic is a very common fallacy by those who are privileged and oblivious to the real world.
I'm sure he had a magnificent reason to strong armed rob a box of Swisher Sweets cigars. Also, I never insulted you or called you a name lol. Just debating. Thug is not an insult IMO. It is a classification for criminals who pack pistols, rob stores, beat up cops, loot stores, riot, etc. I.e. A gangster.
