webfact Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Ferguson shooting: Protests spread across US(BBC) Crowds have gathered across the US to protest against Monday's decision not to charge a police officer over the killing of black teen Michael Brown.Demonstrations from New York to Seattle were mostly peaceful, with protesters chanting and waving placards.In and around the St Louis suburb of Ferguson, scene of major riots on Monday, 2,200 National Guard troops were deployed to stop further unrest.Meanwhile, the officer who shot Mr Brown said he had a "clean conscience".Darren Wilson shot Mr Brown, 18, on 9 August in Ferguson, Missouri, sparking weeks of unrest.The grand jury's decision. announced late on Monday, means the police officer will not face state criminal charges over the shooting.Lawyers for Mr Brown's family have denounced the grand jury's decision as "unfair".Full story: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-30203526-- BBC 2014-11-26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the most recent London riots; it's brain-dead people with no life looking for something, anything, interesting to do. I just wish they'd stick to burning their own shed down.

Popular Post Steely Dan Posted November 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2014 Orchestrated race baiting leads to well rehearsed and choreographed rioting. Not to mention a chance to loot the latest electronic gadgets that looters can't be bothered to work for. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MW72 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Hope the riots spread to burning the homes of the fraudulent 0.01% who are destroying our economies.Not a chance. These idiots are only going to burn down poor neighborhoods and bring down their quality of life even lower. Reminds me of the Dead Kennedys song "Riot". "Tomorrow your homeless, tonight it's a blast". I'm sure all of the properties damaged during these protests will belong innocent people with nothing to do with this event. I am also sure that those protesting will not have been present at the shooting and have never seen the evidence presented to the grand jury.

SRC Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 It was "unfair" for Michael Brown to violently rob a shopkeeper and attack a policeman, but he has paid the price. Yet why didn't the cop use his flashlight or night stick? Are they not trained in self defense? I agree Michael Brown might have not have been a model citizen. But should be have been killed because of it? People change. I think he deserved a good ass kicking, not death. The whole situation is disturbing to me. I think judging a person by his or hers appearance is ludicrous. Racial discrimination based on a persons color is ignorant. Maybe if those who are unfairly being discriminated against stood up and critisized those who's actions cause this ignorance. Things might change. This goes for black, muslim, hell every race, creed, and color. Don't even get me started on the fact that there are protests all over the US and in the majority of them they are damaging their own neighborhoods. The height of stupidity and ignorance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalnomade Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) he could have used a tazer. I think in USA people fix their problem by sending people to jail or shoot people. it s a real sad country. very aggressive oppression by all these guys in US uniform with big badges and guns... when you go to England, police seem nice and guys at custom are helpful. I always feel comfortable when I go to Europe and Thailand , and stressed when I go to USA. now I avoid at all cost to go to USA. why should I spend my money there anyway? to be shot by cops?

Popular Post Roadman Posted November 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2014 When you have irresponsible people like Obama, Al Shapton and Eric Holder inciting riots and fanning the raw emotions, that what you get, this has gone far beyond this petty criminal who was shot, hey, don't rob shops and don't get shot, how hard is that to comprehend?? As an outsider (non American) looking in at a long standing race based issue which one can relate to given the similarities here in New Zealand it is not only these few you mention but the black community as a whole that is fanning the fire. Driving it is the non exceptance of their own violence from within that community. There is no ownership from that community to why their numbers make up a disproportional high number of violent statistics. They rather pawn it of on society as a whole and the system instead of looking at the numbers that don't lie. As in New Zealand with the same issue on a far smaller scale that ownership is never taken and even after this calms down will still not be owned. Look to the same again the next time a violent black thug is shot by a white cop. And again, and again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking responsibility for their own actions is critical to solving (if that's the right word) a long standing problem. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet why didn't the cop use his flashlight or night stick? Because police officers are not trained martial artists and could easily be hurt or killed by a bigger, stronger, faster of more trained opponent. A gun is the best weapon for self defense or bringing criminals to justice ad that is what Officer Wilson was trained to use in a situation like this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
