The Ferguson crisis and it's effects around the world.

coz- I know it's not just the right. The left has said some sh1t too. I have tried to play to both sides with any info I look at and post on FB or whatever. This is a fascinating story, that we have all witnessed, and will be talked about for generations. Hopefully we get the real story before I die.lol

So his eye being wrecked and bones being shattered was made up?

Geezus.

I stopped following this right when that story came out.

But mostly the way so many on my facebook and the overwhelming majority of comments on websites from cowardly white people who shout their hate vile racist bullsh*t sent me back to my own little world.

Just totally shameful and embarrassing. I had suspicions that there was a large "minority" of white people in the closet with their racist views towards minorities but what I have seen the last week is just shameful and sad.

If I hear another white person justify their own racism by saying "they" are racist against us or me I might lose it.

Newsflash I don't care. If 10 million minorities think I am a honky cracker. Good for them. It's honestly a little funny. For starters any person can hold themselves accountable as the person they want to be or are without outside influence.

The term race need to go. It's a fallacy for one. And it stems from historic prejudice and racism. At the most the term culture would apply a lot better then race. There is no white race or black race or brown race that is just beyond stupid.

According to multiple science outlets every person in America white or black, every Asian, European, most Africans and everyone else outside of two small groups in Ethiopia and some other African Country that I can't recall has 1-4% neanderthal DNA. Oh yeah. That means at some point. Native Americans, Caucasian Europeans, most black Africans and Americans, all asians and anyone else from Inuit to pacific islander all interbred since homo sapiens met up with neanderthals.

What is even more striking about this is that every homo sapien when our species left Africa was black. Oh my Oh my. So in essence from 220K years ago to about 40-70K years ago it could be argued that black people dominated the world since they were the only homo sapiens to exist for that period.

Now considering neanderthals evolved hundreds of thousands of years before homo sapien arrived and left Africa, considering both species were so close in DNA neanderthal was absorbed into homo sapiens when they died off.

So technically white neanderthals from the frigid Europe/Northern Asia region would of been there first.

Damn the Man is always holding a brother down.

I like Fox2News I really Do. But why are they showing Mike Brown's funeral in Full? I don't recall them ever doing it for any St Louis Police officers killed in the line of duty but they are doing it for a person who robbed a covenant store and possibly assaulted a police officer?

I am becoming more and more concerned by the assumption of racism. Assume for the momemnt that the worst is true and that Wilson killed Mark Brown in cold blood with his hands raised. Even if that were true what evidence do you have that it was racially motivated?

I am VERY disappointed in Fox2 KTVI FOR showing this person's funeral. Showing it like he was some civil rights leader he wasn't he was a person who robbed a convenient store and assaulted a police officer

what the hell is a convent store?
place to buy nuns?

You know, I had a person my FB post how they hated how the media is putting out Mike Brown as a Hero.  Not in one report have I seen any story making him out a hero.  More defenseless person that was gunned down.  Now, I am sure there is more we don't know about...  And I am sure when the final details are announced, it will again flood the media one way or another.  But I never really seen this as a matter of race, but more of the power of the police vs. civilians, and where the line is drawn.

And there are several of things I have seen pointing 1 way or the other on the race issue.  But none of them were creditable enough to post.  But like I said before this is a news worthy story.  If there was not enough audience to view, I am sure the stations would not have aired it.  And it's not like Fox 2 aired the WHOLE funeral.  Just the highlights.  I watched it, and I am 60+ miles from STL.

I could easily say it didn't happen in my area, so it don't concern me.  I could stick my head in the sand like a few on my FB is doing, and not follow it.  But I am wanting to see how this pans out.  This single case could change the way police operate all over the USA.  This could be a case we tell our  grandchildren about on why law enforcement does what they do.  No telling.  But like you said, if a person don't like what they are viewing, there is a channel up and down button, or the power button.  If you are so upset about it, call Fox 2 and demand your money back...  Because after all, you paid for it.  Oh wait, you didn't. 

(This isn't directly pointed at a single person.  I have been seeing the same thinking on FB too).

If gateway pundit can't be trusted because of it's political position on the brown shooting then how can SALON.

I think you made wise choice.  It wont be long now until the stuff really hits the fan.  If the info trickling out about Officer Wilson's account are accurate there is no way he gets charged.

Snowman99 set up this thread here to talk about the Ferguson Issue.

I've seen a lot of evidence that has been leaked out.  And I am really hoping the GJ has it all.  I heard some didn't want to release it, in fear that they would be under the Microscope.  But I am not going into what I feel it should be.  That is my opinion, and I will keep it there.


What I am watching is the possibilities when it is announced.  I have seen (Actual Pictures), of things law enforcement is gearing up to use (Once again, pictures taken by those on the ground).  And I also have seen pictures of things Protesters are planing to use.  I know I got hint that Ferguson is planning on closing all entrances in to town, once it is announced.  To prevent outsiders from coming in.  However seeing several tweets that many outsiders are already in town, and more plan to "Sneak" in before the Decision is made.

Now, I am sure Law Enforcement sees the same tweets (And maybe even more) that I see, hence the reason they are gearing up.  But the protesters are too, and let me tell you, it looks like both sides are planing on war.

I hope that this plays out that both sides were just over reacting.  But to be honest, I would not want to be anywhere around the Ferguson area when it is announced.  Most of the protesters are wanting a peaceful protest.  However there are the bad apples that plan on causing problems, due to their hatred towards officers.  I've seen tweets that say "We will protest, and no (insert slang word for police), will stand in our way".  Just scary on what the good citizens of Ferguson is going to face in the upcoming week(s).  I even seen one Tweet about the media being there.  They wanted them out, because all they are doing is searching for a story, and not caring about the situation (Of course I cleaned it up, and rephrased it so it was G rated).

Hmmm, Maybe "Sometime" this weekend if the rumors are true, after 4pm.....  And it is hinted that the colds is one of the reasons it is being held off..  Don't know how true that is, but makes you think....

Getting rumor off twitter feed that the Hospital in Ferguson has cleared 3 floor in Prep for victims of rioting and violence. Once again, take it with a grain of salt, it is the net and could be false.

SLU told us today that they are planning on having classes Monday and Tuesday as well as scheduled weekend events. Of course they added that depending on the grand jury verdict things might change. There's been a lot of talk around campus of planned protest on school grounds by student organizations. I'm just worried that some people looking to start trouble might join in on the student protest and cause a problem.
