  I think it's the perfect picture of a "college bound" kid with a bright future....   And that is the problem.....The media and certain people are trying to make this kid in to a saint, when in fact, he was probably a normal stupid teenager.  As TVC stated, the picture means nothing and has nothing to do with what happened......but when the media paints that perfect picture, photo's like this don't help the image.....

    So you have to have a previous criminal record before you can rob a convenience store?   And kids who are about to go to college do not commit crimes......   Good to know.....

  #1. Didn't as soon as he got the call he called the SL police cheif and gave him the investigation?   #2  "They" also said that the Alfred Wright case was mishandled and we found that was not true....

  To me "The Talk" was something ANY parent should teach their Son.   Like....looking BOTH ways before crossing street

When we hear about parents having "The Talk" with their children, it usually refers to the "birds and the bees" conversation. Not so in the African-American community, where "The Talk" is instructions on what to do if an African-American teenaged boy is stopped by police officers. Grimes told us about her talk with her sons, "I said if you're even stopped by the police, you just roll down your window, ask what is it that you need to do, don't try to get out of the car, don't try to have the last word."     That is the SAME thing my parents taught me........and I'm white.   [Hidden Content]  

  Sounds like a real proper Lady.......

  I hope for your friends sake, he is on vacation

  It would not affect me usually, but if I wanted to post an off the wall link to support an opinion I could not. I would be tied to CNN or Fox.....or I guess mainstream media.

    I think limiting links because of one persons opinion is handcuffing discussions.  We might as well have a template and have it approved before posting.   Sorry Bullets.....I think the posters need to follow the rules.

  But better planning and A LOT of cops would have been killed......

true

My Son lost a friend of his last year to suicide, he was 12 years old. To this day I can't imagine what that kid was going through to be able to pull the trigger.   While everyone has their own opinions on suicide, as much as I would like to blame that kid for what he put his family through......I can't.

  What is absurd to one is possibly not to someone else. I don't feel it was the post that were the issue (because I ignored most of them), it was the responses of both sides.

  Can you give me one example of anything recently uncovered that would support your comment?   I need groups of people, not one off crazies.....

    Good point.....   I can only imagine now with new technology, but remember years ago when the bank robbers came out all armored up? If they would have planned better and been a little smarter, they could of taken a bunch of cops with them.   I not saying don't be prepared, but "that day" is not close to being near. Those police officers have families and are normal people. They are not like what some would want you to believe.

    What is she really saying about the police in her state? 

  That is the first thing a man must know if he is going to try and understand a woman.....

  I have not been on this as much as you, but why skeptical? I think he was pretty smart to separate himself from the investigation.   FERGUSON, Mo. — Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson said he was driving with his kids on his way to lunch Saturday afternoon when a sergeant called him. “He said there has been an officer involved shooting with one of your officers. And the other person is dead,” Jackson said. “I said: I’m on my way.” Jackson said he made a u-turn, headed to the scene and, in the meantime, called the chief of the St. Louis County police and asked him to take jurisdiction.   [Hidden Content]

Police Chief Thomas Jackson told a news conference on Wednesday the officer was treated in hospital for swelling on the side of his face.   This is not a reason to think he deserved to be shot, but it contradicts the "key witness" who claims Michael Brown had his hands up the entire time and was never the aggressor.   [Hidden Content]   [Hidden Content]

  This is a quote from the video.......   A guy getting over come with gas decides intead of not coming back tomorrow,  he will be better prepared tomorrow.....

You used to he able to delete yourself

I'm wearing my gas mask tomorrow :lol:

  Yes he does........I remember defending Bush for 8 years on this site....The difference is we debated by discussion, not by posting links......

  I think a curfew would be legal. They issue them in certain situations(TVC?)   There needs to be some community leaders calming down the protesters and let everyone do their job.

  And they don't even see it.....
