Outrage in STL

[thetragichippy]

I saw one report that stated there are TWELVE
Witnesses backing the cop's story, and another stating he had a fractured orbital bone.

 

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......

Doesn't matter to the Black community. A white man killed a black man...end of story and he is guilty.....period.

And the media is going to continue to fuel the fire.

@eyokley: What would #Ferguson be like right now had police responded in the same way @ChiefSLMPD did after today's shooting? #transparency

In my opinion? Not much different. There was speculation and then protests and riots before the police had to time to do much of anything.

@LillyAFowler: "We're young, we're strong, we're marching all night long!" "We are Mike Brown!" folks shout, marching around designated area #ferguson

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@keithboykin: It's been a very peaceful night so far in #Ferguson. Much different from last night.

That's not true, Black people in Ferguson don't represent the entire Black community, just their community. Now my comments may not sit well, but I teach my kids that Officers are Authority figures in the Community, if stopped cooperate and keep the attitude in check. Even if you're right don't be disrespectful or combative. If this young man had cooperated & not resisted in some form, he would be alive today. I'm tired of people acting as if a few Black people are the spokesman for the entire Race. Just because Al Sharpton shows up on the scene means he is there for the right reasons. I think he's an opportunist, but that's my opinion. Now this is my opinion on the case, doesn't mean I'm right, because neither of us know the Cop's intent. Let's just wait for All the evidence comes forward. That's easier said than done for both families involved. Continued Prayers for both Families.

Again, just my opinion

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@WesleyLowery: Oh all of my least favorite things, the "let me shine my flashlight in your eye on purpose for extended periods of time" ranks up there


@WesleyLowery: No media member has done anything to get in way of law enforcement. They've given contradictory instructions and then gotten physical

@WesleyLowery: Officer shoves reporter.
"Get that camera out of my face."
Reporter asks for his name
"Go f**k yourself," officer responds


@AmyKNelson: This is by far the most confused I've seen the cops since I've been here. #Ferguson


@WesleyLowery: Handful of teens - "don't let them shoot us" refusing to leave media area.


@nickpistor: Appears that arrests are working better than tear gas. #Ferguson

I guess "white people" should start looting and rioting in DC...the war on the "white man" Blacks are racist, blah blah blah.....anyway I have seen protest, civil disobidence, etc from all walks....why is it just the black community that "Riots"...

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-officer-shot-in-harvey-hostage-situation-underway-20140819-story.html

 

And all this crap about 1 kid/young adult (that wasn't all that good of a citizen anyway) being shot and killed....it may be time for some to take a look into their own community before all this crap makes the news....not saying cops or anyone else should just go around shooting and killing people....but blowing the low percentage occurrentcies out of porportion while ignoring the elephant in the room.....IMO..it undermines the effort and make mockery of those who do....kinda like the Alfred Wright and Zimmerman thing...what a joke, pathetic actually....

Bigcam, your a very wise man. I am not saying the officer is guilty nor innocent. My best friend of 45 years is black. Me and him have talked at great lengths the past week about what's going on and he has the beliefs as you. Let the judicial system work and stop trying to convict without hearing all the evidence. I am white and I had the conversations with my kids. Be respectful not only to police, but to all adults including educators.

PNGFan, this wasn't for you, it's for some who can't see the Forest for the Trees. We're All in this thing called Life Together whether we like it or not. Together We Stand.
Many read these posts & take away the wrong perception. In the wake of all that has transpired, Families lives have been forever changed & turned upside down. This unfortunate turn of events has the Country on edge; at least those that choose to pick sides. Race relations in America are as bad now as it was for my Grandparents & Parents, it has found more clever ways to disguise itself through the years. You can't help Ferguson until you help yourself. SETX is the most Racist area I have ever experienced. I moved away for College as a young 18 yr old Black kid with all the stereotypical hang ups of other Races influenced by peer pressure because I wasn't raised like that. My Mother taught me to be respectful & treat others the way I wanted to be treated, but outside influences had an effect on me sometimes; young & impressionable. By the time I left for College the Real test was near. I spent my first 2 yrs in Temple JC, the transferred to Tarleton State Univ in Stephenville. Talk about culture shock. There was a Rodeo Team, Farm, & A Wrangler jeans headquarters so to speak. There were roughly 7,000 students, less than 100 were Black. I was a 6'5" 250 lb young man on campus, I stood out. I was subjected to Racism daily. When I reacted negatively, I got what I was looking for, more ignorance. When I decided to embrace the opportunity given to me because many Died so I could be there, my Life changed. I had the same power as the Freedom Riders. I chose to show people who grew up not seeing many Black people that I was just like them, just a little darker skin tone. As I engaged in more conversation & visited more places on Campus out of the Norm for Black Students, my time in Stephenville became much better. It didn't come without opposition. Some were down right crude, but like I said I'm 6'5" and walk with Supreme confidence, needless to say we came to an agreement thankfully. I've said All of that to say this. We must conquer Racism by getting out of our comfort zone. Quit worrying about what friends & family says. Racism is a form of a Coward. Many can't stand on their own, but will quickly Turn on their own. Live,Laugh,Love
God Bless Ferguson & America as a whole

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.......

[Bigcam2903]

We are all held accountable, the Media is the Media though. It's easy to point out Race when we don't want to deal with the Facts. Many take the easy way out & throw in Race as a diversion. It works almost every time though. Unfortunate

NO, the problem is, you can't "help" those who won't "help" themselves. Since all this is focused on the black kid/ community/ murders ,etc.....IF it is to be FIXED, then the black community, media, Sharpton, Jackson, Black Panters need to start talking about ONLY the black on black murders, pregnant black women with no baby daddy, and ONLY focus on the WITHIN problems....it's VERY hard to take seriously people criticizing others when the higher percentage of their problems are their OWN....

 

and here is a perfect example....if I (or any other white person) were to say the forbidden "N" word  (today or 30 years ago) OMG certain people go crazy....yet it is used (and justified) in all sorts of cultural music, professional athletes etc....

 

It's the same argument that some make about terrorist...until the mass Muslim world takes ownership and condemns this behavior....it won't stop, and people will not respect muslims.........it is what it is! Stop blaming others.

 

It was once said, to make a point, that white males are serial killers....which by inlarge is true, but that does not make ME (a white male) one, nor does it "offend" me...so...therefore it doesn't bother me at all....on the other hand, if you were to say muslims are terrorist, that also is by inlarge true...but oh the PC police go crazy....same is true if you were to say blacks are.....well, you get the point....or at least you should!

Actually most of this entire fiasco can be summed up in that three word statement. 

[Bigcam2903]

No you're an deleted - Bobcat05. Period
I feel for both sides because it has taken a toll on their families. The young man that died doesn't get another chance, but we do. So even you Fox have a chance . What you do with it is up to you. I'm not going to go back & forth with Evil.
It solves nothing & only creates enemies(line forms around the corner for me) so enjoy your day Sir

Paragraphs full of oppressive opinions. A few Black people rallying or whatever you want to call it don't represent Black People as a whole. Please get that through your thick skulls. BTW, who said that White males are serial killers?? That statement right there should disqualify you from having a descent convo with anyone. Geez, did you really graduate Kindergarten?? Sign your name with crayons?? Grow up Sir
