What does your son's hair style have to do with people pointing guns at or attacking police officers? Quote

Would you call this guy a skinhead? Image is everything....... If you dress like a certain way, you should expect people to treat you a certain way. If I wear a cowboy hat and boots, people assume I like country music.....fact of life..... Sooooo, if you dress like a thug/gangster, be prepared for people to assume.....

I get told alot by my older siblings,don't get that hair cut don't dress like that don't get that tattoo etc. a man in a tuxedo can be just as dangerous as the guy with dreads and tattoos. Perception is not the key prohibition gangsters used to get dressed as if they had a 9-5. Let ones actions speak of there character. I get your point if I seen a guy wearing cowboys boots n hat I would assume he was a country boy but that's it. A guy with baggy pants and tattoos Is seen more than just being urban or hip-hop influenced he's seen as a threat. People fear what they don't understand. Or what they find taboo.

Chester86 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 Have they interviewed that lady that was looking directly at the situation who ran back to her car? Have they caught the young man that was with the deceased victim at the time of the shooting who ran back into the store? I haven't seen anything about them interviewing those citizens. Deceased victim or deceased suspect? Amazing how pictures can be painted by one word. Quote

tvc184 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 Deceased victim or deceased suspect? Amazing how pictures can be painted by one word. Victim. He was a victim of his own choosing by robbing a store, attacking an officer and trying to take his duty weapon and finally being a victim of his own demise by not continuing to run away or submitting to a lawful arrest but instead again attacking the officer. 77 1 Quote

tvc184 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Interesting! http://madworldnews.com/anti-cop-activist-lesson/ I posted the same video in Lapse of Protocol thread. Apparently you don't read all threads with equal fervor. :D Quote
tvc184 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Sorry! And well you should be!! :) It is still a good video and worth repeating. I see no comments on it so I am assuming that not many (any?) people watched it or they have no response. Quote
stevenash Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 why was his death ruled a homicide and not self defense? It was announce this morning tha the DOJ is not going to bring charges against the officer. Pretty good confirmation that the grand jury got it right and that Sharpton and Big Girl got it wrong. 77, CraigS and baddog 3 Quote
tvc184 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 How many months did it take the premier law enforcement agency in our country (FBI) to determine that there were no criminal charges to be brought when it took the local police about one week? I know, the same reason the DA had to wait a few months to announce the verdict. Politics. 77 1 Quote
77 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 Same reason we have not heard the findings on Bo Bergdhal (sp?) being a traitor! Quote

Sooooo, if you dress like a thug/gangster, be prepared for people to assume..... so he should be shot and killed even though he didnt do anything, just because someone thinks he looks suspicious?What does a gangsta look like?

Big girl Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 Deceased victim or deceased suspect? Amazing how pictures can be painted by one word. everybody is a supect according to you guys. Was he black, white, hispanic or Asian Quote
77 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 The only folks that were shot and killed in Ferguson is the guy that resisted arrest and attacked a cop and yes if you do that you will get shot! The head racist ( Holder) in the country investigated and found the cop did no wrong, you gotta let it go and you can put your hands down because in this case nobody ever had them up! Quote
