it is relevant. as shows what kinda criminal he is. simple as that.

i get if you are hungry and desperate you steal bread or milk. or baby formula for your hungry baby. which might show he was forced/driven to a live of crime/

but to steal friggin tabaco product, a product for pleasure that destroys your lungs. the punching police officer twice. shows me you are a THUG.

this has nothing to do with race.

it is truly sad what is happening to the city/town of Ferguson. why isnt whatever the thugs name is being held responsible by the same community that riots?

Some of your posts are stupider than others and this one is no exception.

That could be a potentially dangerous situation. He could throw the tea in your face and scald you, then set the paper on fire and shove it down your pants. Better empty your magazine, just to be safe.

you are a hatefull person.
voicing my opinion would get me shot.

cant u just disagree. and leave it at that.

because unlike those protesters i do no damage whatsoever.

you want me shot for voicing an opinion. and what about looters and firestarters? want to give them a medal for bravery?

I would shoot you out of a sense of duty to humanity...because of your low IQ.
 
It is sad that a minority of protestors tried to ruin any potential for change that could come out of this. Hopefully the cooler heads prevail and don't let the idiots that are looting and rioting stop any momentum they might have.

Many peaceful protests all around the country. In fact, the only violence I have heard of was in St. Louis, MO.
 
just sharing a real heartfelt message from the principal at our local high school...

Good Morning-

My spirit is low and my heart is heavy this morning as I once again spend another day as a Black man attempting to role model, serve, and lead in a system and a country that continues to tell me and those that look like me that our lives are meaningless.

Looking forward to a better tomorrow. I'm just losing faith that I will live long enough to witness it.

He's a fairly young guy, in his early 40's - and he's generally a very upbeat person, so this seems somewhat atypical to me - but obviously he is distressed over the Grand Jury decision.

Our high school is pretty diverse -

AND I used table tags in an actual post. Woo hoo for me :-)
 
Without wading through 42 pages here, can people please tell me whether you feel, in your opinion, based on the evidence as you know it, the cop should've been let off (as he was) or found guilty. Please provide the overwhelming evidence that supports your stance. Thank you.

I'm very curious and have heard so many different things regarding the incident.
