Ferguson Grand Jury Results

[luckynumbah7]

Saw a great point made on another forum about this.

There are racial prejudices in the application of law enforcement, I don't think anyone intelligent can deny that.

But the black community will not move forward on that issue when they make their stands with guys like this.

This guy robbed a liquor store and then assaulted a cop. It's unfortunate he died but when you do freaking stupid shit like that bad things usually happen.

It be far more productive and generate more support if protests were made over cases of actual injustice i.e. totally innocent people being racially profiled and then shot or arrested for no good reason, of which their are plenty of cases. Some examples here: http://politic365.com/2012/03/19/trayvon-martin-and-7-black-men-who-should-be-alive-today/.

I think people might be overlooking a conception of unreasonable force applied to a situation. Plenty of other countries manage not to shoot their local hamburglar so's I don't see why we can't be aiming for the same. A gun shouldn't be the first choice of weapon used in a job where you're dealing with the foolish.

Interesting quote. In all the years that this case has been discussed...there is one thing about this case that I have never heard anyone mention...and that is a police report. Anytime anyone or a business falls prey to a criminal act...especially the type of criminal act Mike Brown allegedly committed, the police are dispatched and a (police) report is composed. Oddly, the media claimed that Brown robbed the store, but yet no one (including the media, QuikTrip corporate lawyers, or law enforcement) has ever produced a police report that would accurately describe Brown as the robber.
