Re: Riots in Ferguson, Missouri
Arguing with Deadly is the equivalent to trying to argue with your dining-room table.
Everyone has an opinion, and they are entitled to it. Unless your opinion helps cause oppression or suffering amongst others, then you are wrong. In this case, Deadly is wrong. Also Deadly, I hope you realize the YouTube video you linked is nothing more then what appears to be a high school kid who has no degree, career or title to his name where his opinions are completely irrelevant. If you are trolling, you are doing a very good job at it because there is no way that you can seriously have those opinions while referencing that type of video.

My opinion wasn't based on my view of black and white crime (Or what the two of you had thought), my opinion was on how the media only uses white on black crime, because it's more marketable to a wider range of audiences than by having news on black on white crimes. |

And my opinion is that the media is just stirring the pot. The media should be unbiased and provide both viewpoints, which they haven't done for the officer. |

I'll be frank: I don't like the word "marketable" being used there. Anyway, the reason why white on black crime is brought up is because it is a consequence of a bigger issue that is far from being solved, and this incident is a trigger to bring this issue on the national table. |

Re: Riots in Ferguson, Missouri
No, stating that the officers' actions were justified in those cases is your opinion. Your opinion can align with a decision reached by a grand jury, but your opinion does not become fact; it's an opinion.

Re: Riots in Ferguson, Missouri
The whole point of me saying that was to reiterate that they had reason to believe that their lives were in danger. Not as if it was a fact, but that it was used to help my argument on the media, and how in both situations they are experiencing the same thing (the officers had reason to believe they were in danger), yet they have vastly different coverage.

Re: Riots in Ferguson, Missouri
There's some pretty stupid shit being said in here and it's all rife with personal bias.
When you detach yourself from whatever upbringing you've had and look at it fact-for-fact, a dumbass kid who was high robbed a store (error in judgement) and then a dumbass cop handled the situation poorly and ended up killing the dude (error in judgement). Is it wrong that there was no trial? Imo it's 100% wrong. I can understand how some would say that racism is the underlying issue in this situation but it's so much more than that. Police are given an immense amount of power and responsibility and when they fuck up, lives can be lost. In some ways you can compare this profession to surgeons making a mistake and the patient dying on them. At the end of the day, you have an officer who made an error in judgement and just like the doctor being sued for malpractice, is facing a trial. It's a reasonable situation that begs a thorough investigation, hence why I feel a trial would have been beneficial. |
