So Cid, based on your comments, I'm guessing you have more info than the grand jury was given. Care to give up your sources?

I think I'll place my trust in the grand jury.

You do that.

For, of course, Justice is ALWAYS served in America. Just like Trayvon Martin. He had no right to run away from a stalking white man who killed him for it.

How dare black people not subjugate themselves to the nearest white person who demands it, and beg for their life.(/sarcasm)

Looks like another American debate that is going to argued straight down political lines!

Courts are great as long their decision comes down on your side of the argument. They are obviously corrupt when they don't?

Or how about the homeless man killed outside Albuquerque by a swat team for illegal camping.

Boy, Justice was certainly served there. Did any of those officers ever face ANY charges?

I don't want to live in a militarized police state. That is not MY America. But, of course for you Fascists, you can't wait to sign up.

I know some of you are just good ol' boy racists, but it ends up amounting to the same thing.

If some are not free, then none of us are.

Do you know who gets looted?

It's not the millionaires and billionaires. It's whitey. I was watching CNN, and there was a white filmmaker (idiot to be there) and the crowd surrounded him asking him if he was KKK.

So the idiot says "what if I am?" And then the mob got bigger, and finally police escorted the man and his son to their car and told them it's a good idea if they drive off.

You know who else also gets looted?

Again, I was watching CNN, and they showed a video of an incredibly violent mob just smashing all these convenience store windows and tearing the store apart and stealing everything they could. Turns out it's not a chain or something, it's a small business owned by a family. Older guy and his wife and young adult son.

So that's who got looted. Hard working people.

Well, the President's on tv now.

He says part of this is the legacy of racial discrimination in this country.

So Loki.. if you're a lower income white.. I don't think it includes you. It's apparently just about black folks. It's not about jobs for living wages, not one of these people has said anything about wanting a job.

I guess I'm sounding Stormfront again, but really I'm not a racist.

MLK had a good idea going at the end there, he was trying to broaden it to working class as a whole, black and white. He was a smart man for that, to see the root causes, that it's economic.

These race things do get tricky though.

Look what happened in South Africa. From Australian documentaries I've seen, apparently post appartheid there just rose an elite class of black people is all that happened. And poor blacks are still poor, and now oppressed by elite blacks. And to boot -- some of the whites, and boers, are now in total abject poverty. They can't even get any of the government help because that's all targeted for low income blacks.

How is that relevant to this case? Believe it or not I am VERY concerned about the loss of our rights. I also have no doubt their are police abuses, and they are "overlooked" by other officers protecting the Thin Blue Line. Those police should be called criminals and charged.

I just don't think it applies to this case. The Jury knows more than you do for the simple fact they had much more information. You on the other hand, are pulling a guilty verdict out of some dark orifice with NOTHING but your racist beliefs that all white people are evil, so of course this cop is guilty. Grow up.

On the positive side the thugs parents have called for all police to wear body cameras. I fully support that. Maybe we can get rid of the real criminal cops, which hopefully will help restore at least some confidence in our police.

On CNN now: police firing tear gas, telling the crowds it's an unlawful assembly.

Before that, protesters destroyed one cop car, then moved on to another and tried to pour gasoline on it.

Update: crowd of hundreds in front of the PD dispersed very quickly, they're all gone now.

Very well equipped riot police, black armored vehicles whole nine yards, fired tear gas and bean bags and flash grenades.

So I guess it's over! Crowd's all gone! CNN reporter isn't sure where all those people went to, so fast.

EDIT: one store on fire

CNN reporting gun shots fired

CNN crew now running away, they don't have any gas masks and got hit with tear gas

OMG these CNN crews are gonna get hurt. They're in the middle of a RIOT in the GHETTO. Dangerous, dangerous.

One woman says someone had a heart attack and police tear gassed her after, and she was yelling at the white CNN reporter. He looks scared. 8O

Looks like a riot, folks.. we'll see what happens..

You seem to be the one with the fantasy thinking you know more than the grand jury.

the thugs parents


Michael Brown had no criminal record, police say
An 18-year-old shot and killed near a Ferguson apartment complex Saturday afternoon had no criminal record, according to the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney's office.

Quick to judge others?

You need to turn off FOX, your brains are starting to leak out your ears.

Oh, I forgot. To racists, all blacks are guilty of something.

Update: CNN showing a liquor store getting smashed in and a big mob swarming in and grabbing things as fast as they can.

Female CNN reporter under attack, she says looters told her to turn the cameras off, now things are getting thrown at her. She says police are nowhere around.

Apparently police have cordoned off the business district and are going to let people loot.

Looks very dangerous for these reporters, they are walkin' around in a ghetto riot.

With all due respect Cid, it's not longer funny or limousine liberal Noam Chomsky cool -- if the mob gets to YOUR door.

EDIT: I'm watching foxnews now, they have some better analysis.

Shep Smith points out that really this is a broad group of different protest interests, general unrest.

* Protests in NYC, peaceful
* Protests in Philedelphia, peaceful so far
* Protests in LA and Oakland, no word on that yet

I looks like the officer is innocent. The mob doesn't seem to agree.

There once was a time in America when a mob would decide to take the law into there own hands and get whatever justice they decided to get without due process. It was called lynching.

My how ironic the juxtapostion.

STATE SENATOR: THIS IS ST LOUIS' RACE WAR

Monday night on MSNBC's "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell," Missouri State Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadali (D) said of the riots after the grand jury announcement that Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson will not face charges for fatally shooting Michael Brown, "This is St. Louis's race war. We didn't have a race war like other cities throughout the U.S. This is our race war."
http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2014/11/24/State-Senator-This-Is-St-Louis-Race-War


I've seen that same state senator on tv before, she's on the protesters side, and one night she said she and her staff were scared about out of control gunfire near their offices.

So there ya go. People stoke a riot and flame it, and then they wonder where the police are when violent people are firing guns off.

It's dangerous; these mobs are anarchist, they'll attack people even speaking for them. They're attacking black-owned business. They're throwing things at CNN reporters. They're setting the whole city on fire, fires out of control now, and just looting one business to the next.

Fox News reporter attacked by the mob, live on air:

Image

Things got a bit rougher for Fox News’ Steve Harrigan tonight. The reporter went off the air for a few minutes after his camera was attacked in Ferguson. Just before 8 PM PT, fox news camera attackedHarrigan was reporting on looting at a liquor store when someone in the Guy Fawkes masks worn by protestors said, “Hey man, fuck you!” and knocked his camera to the ground. That kind of language has been heard clearly and repeatedly on FNC tonight, with hosts apologizing to viewers. The photo to the left is what was seen live on FNC just as the camera was hit. Harrigan, who was walked through wafting tear gas earlier, was back on air at 8:10 PM PT reporting that “the only casualty was the camera” and shooting video of more looting with his iPhone.

In LA, protesters briefly got up on the 10 Freeway and have caused traffic to back up for miles.
http://deadline.com/2014/11/ferguson-grand-jury-decision-verdict-networks-cut-primetime-1201292322/


It's a bit surreal and retarded -- these reporters think a mob of criminals is just gonna let them film crimes in progress?

Meanwhile I guess police strategy is to allow looting as a form of riot control -- let the mob loot, rather than fight police right? And then it'll all burn itself out, and just cordon off the area and let it burn.

That's all well and good, except for these business owners that may not have any insurance and could be wiped out by this, that's not right.

EDIT: FoxNews reporter saying over a hundred shots fired, and not just in the air he hears shots and return shots. Police assault vehicles moving in toward the gunfire. Reporter is coughing from smoke fires and tear gas. CNN was saying they can't even use their gasmasks because the tear gas is so thick you can't get any oxygen through the mask.
