I mean, people get pissed how there wasn't even a trial. That means that there wasn't even enough evidence to send it to trial, let alone convict him. This is a lot like the Trayvon Martin case, as people are getting pissed because these "young and defenseless boys" were actually doing something wrong.

I don't understand people. The human race can be pretty awful. RIP the community.

Re: Riots in Ferguson, Missouri

there's a reaction to racial tension underlying the whole thing as an excuse but the fact of the matter is most of the rioting is selfishly motivated
not even black people give a shit about black people

Re: Riots in Ferguson, Missouri

no but assaulting a police officer does if the officer is in fear for his life, which the physical evidence points to. i suggest anyone who thinks this is unfair should go listen to what the prosecutor said when talking about the case.

This.
I couldn't have said it better myself.

Re: Riots in Ferguson, Missouri

The verdict was no surprise. When the police started to become militarized a year ago, I stated that they were preparing for what's happening right now, to counter protesters and keep control of the riots. The bubble in the US is close to being burst, so there are two paths that can happen over the next year (most likely 2 years)

1) The police/military will be armed to the teeth, such as more tanks for small cities (this already happened) and law enforcement will be able to contain rioters through oppression. (More cities as states of emergency)
2) The police/military will be armed to the teeth, such as more tanks for small cities (this already happened) and law enforcement will be able to contain rioters through oppression. However, this time there will be some 'outside act of terror' that will band the United States together as a nation to defeat an outside foe. This could be a new country that doesn't follow our economic interest, or a group of rebels inside the US. It will depend how the mainstream 'news' such as CNN/Fox spin it.


On a side note, if any of you are actually interested in reading what real news is, do not watch news inside of the United States. Watch BBC, or more importantly Al Jazeera (even though most of it's English videos are banned in the US)

Actually, the only acceptable news that is unfiltered in the United States would actually be John Oliver. (The Daily Show is actually censored a lot)

Also, please watch this video to further understand what is going on, and exactly what I have been talking (and fighting against) about for the past year.

@xiz

police power and individual liberties share a scale, and major events like this always shift them, based on if the public values safety and control over individual liberties. right now as you can tell people aren't happy with the police's power, so expect a shift that removes some of this power.

this has happened multiple times throughout US history and it will happen again. no need to sensationalize

Re: Riots in Ferguson, Missouri

no need to sensationalize

I disagree completely. Middle class whites have the power to ignore what is happening in the world. Individuals who are consistently oppressed do not have that luxury.

Re: Riots in Ferguson, Missouri

dude

the grand jury choosing to not idict the officer wasn't based on racism. it was based in facts and circumstances of the situation.

that being said, it doesn't mean racism doesn't exist, it's just that the country's biggest race baiters (al sharpton, jesse jackson, eric holder, obama) are willingly fanning the flames on this issue. and now we have people traveling to ferguson with the only intention to riot and destroy the neighborhood despite the verdict.

when i said no need to sensationalize to Xiz it was in regards to him predicting the police gaining dangerous amounts of power
