Fair enough....I may have missed your point.

  I don't think White cops on black should be an issue or even brought up....I do agree with black on black needs to be addressed.   If you think "plenty" of people on this board are so racist that they would be okay with a purge, that's crazy to me. I know of know one who would think it is OK to kill black......either I misunderstood or you are WAY off..

  That is NOT an issue......of all cop killings, 25% are white cops killing blacks.....Why are we not outraged at the 75% that are not black?   This is just a smoke screen to make an issue out of something that is not. There is no proof or stats that back this up. I invite someone to prove me wrong on this issue.   The Purge is great concept for a movie, but is ridiculous to even entertain in real life.....   And I would disagree that "many" on this board would agree with that.....if you really feel that way, you have a huge problem that no one will be able to fix......just sayin  

  Didn't see that.....but there were plenty Ferguson protesters acting a fool.....why are they different?   That's my only point...

    Ummm....for their safety.....Because the good law abiding citizens apparently did not agree with THEIR protest.   Have you seen anything they did to "incite" the crowd other than support the police officer...or the Tweet stating "They seem to be inciting the crowd." by Patricia Bynes?  

Obama is in a pickle......   His no war policies and holding hands with everyone is not working. I think he is finally  figuring out that  this is not college, a couple beers and a joint are not the answer....   next 6 months are going to play a huge part in his legacy 

  Everyone has a right to protest right?  Even if you don't agree with it? Even if you can't spell? Even if your protesting for a kid that just assaulted a store clerk, stole cigars and possibly assaulted a police officer....right??   But I guess in Furgeson, you only have that right if you side with the "right side of the protest"......These folks had to be escorted to safety....   P.S. I feel they knew what they were doing when they did it.....wanted their 2 minutes of fame,......but they did prove a point, even though most won't see it. 

Shawn Parcells’ credentials, role in Michael Brown autopsy questioned by Doctors I am a "forensic pathologist assistant and medical investigator"   “That is a degree that does not exist in my knowledge, except in the mind of Shawn Parcells,” Dr. Mitchell said.   [Hidden Content]

    Where our opinions may differ, this Ferguson shooting should have never been about racism. It should of been about a cop shooting a young man. I can bring up stats, but only 25% of all cop shootings are white shooting blacks, so it's not as common as the media wants us to believe.  If we want to end racism, we are not going to do it by identifying the race in every crime. The media should hold some responsibility for causing teh violence. When they use words like "murdered", "executed", "unarmed" they are painting a picture, not reporting the facts.......   In My Opinion.......

I have owned a 25hp Merc and loved it.....2 stoke   I love the 4 strokes and how quite they are....   I don't know that you would notice 25 versus 30 Hp   Good luck......   There are some marine and boating forums if you Google it.....You would get a lot of response on those......

  Same here   There would have to be a serious change of events to make me believe the cop is in the wrong.   I also here the family may not want to find out toxicology results......

I think Buddy has beaten Smitty and Nash in most post on one thread :P

  I can only HOPE I look THAT good if I'm ever arrested.

  The only truth in that post

  Not really.....I'm 48, already play in a band........if I grew my hair out i would be the poster child for "mid-life crisis" lmao

  That's funny.......wish I could find a job so I could grow out my hair.....I've always wanted to but either Father or job always prevented it.

  I don't care what side of the fence you are on, this is getting crazy.......   and I blame the media for about 75% of the violence.......I would approve of water cannons being used on them.

  I thought that Dr. said there was no sign of a struggle?? 

  hmmm.......looking more and more like a thug that acted stupid

  How on EARTH could the key eye witness miss that?

  Funny how they wanted loyalty from you after telling you, you would be unemployed......That would be like leaving your woman for another woman, but still wanting her to have sex with you until the other one moves in.....

  I think we are having two different conversations.   I do think Michael went for the cops gun or was attempting to attack him.   All I am saying is when two people shoot at each other it is hard to be "outraged" if both parties shoot back.  The old saying it takes two to tango.   THIS situation has an armed white cop and an unarmed black man (he was not a child)...only one gun by one person was fired......some people are "outraged" because the unarmed black man did not have a weapon.   Please tell me you can see the difference

  I think gun fire exchange is a little different that hand to hand.....I don't think there would be as much outrage if Michael would have fired a gun during the exchange.....so, apples and oranges

  Exactly......I worked contruction as a laboror to avoid unemployment......man that job sucked

  You"re not going to apply for a job because you want a certain hair style?   Please tell me you are joking.......lol
