    Let me ask you something, why is it that blacks are even capable of being kept down, as is implied by the left? Are they not equal or something? Either blacks can't rise up or they don't want to. I have the utmost respect for those who have.

    He was a good boy. Didn't do nothing. Sang in the church choir. On way to Harvard. And the beat goes on.

    Will they play the video of Mike Brown beating up an old foreign gentleman prior to him being put down like a dog?

    I live in Lubbock TX. I was part of the people who erected the statue in a prominent part of town in his honor. I'm white....... Tim Coles case was tragic, but not unique, to either white men or black. Do you recall the prosecutor putting an entire fraternity on trial for a fake rape allegation on the part of a black stripper out on the east coast?

    Your selective memory and outrage reveal your inherent racism. Start worrying about the plight of ALL Americans, and you'll find me a vocal supporter. Keep whining about Black people only, and you declare yourself a racist, and my enemy. Grow up, we can't help the skin we were born with either......

    Nah, that is not the narrative they want to show. They will stick to the lies like "hands up don't shoot".

    FYI, this is a flame bait thread, with matching posts. All of the editorial is aimed at mocking any discontent with the judicial system.

    Besides having their kids involved with criminal activity with long criminal records which is a sure sign of being a great parent? Nothing.

    SBB, Eric Holder's Department of JUSTICE investigated the Brown case and even THEY, Eric Holder's own team, concluded officer Wilson was innocent of any wrong doing. What more do you want?

    If this had been a white M. Brown - same size, same attitude, same everything and a black cop, who handled it like Wilson had, to you - would the results have been justified? It would have been to me. Case closed. The white thug had to pay the ultimate price for criminal behavior and the black cop should continue his job, his life w/o repercussions when he hadn't done anything wrong........and skin color doesn't matter!

    I would prefer they fall off into the Atlantic, the Pacific is to close to my home.

    Maybe they'll run too Mexico since Mexico is supporting Hillary.

    But then again so are the chi-coms, Saudi Arabia, the Muslim Brotherhood, New Black Panthers, MS-13 and the Dykes on Bikes MC.

    Gotcha. And Dana White spoke at the RNC and he has a criminal history as well. Suppose you were against him speaking too?

    I don't think it's political suicide. Obama's 2012 re-election plan excluded working class whites. The campaign reasoned that they didn't need them, and they were correct. What it needed was high minority turnout. Hillary is weak on that so she needs something to generate minority, particularly Black turn out. Families of cop killers and criminals killed by cops might be the ticket to get her base revved up and out to vote.

    White liberal Democrats are playing up, and pandering to this ignorant bs to the max. In so doing, they not only gain power but continue on in the destruction of the black family, black neighborhood and what little remains of the value system of blacks, perpetuating the problem. The whole thing is vain, self destructive and disgusting.

    Joe Citizen does not have arrest powers though.

    While the optics of the Garner case looked bad, other options would have been what exactly? Taser? Pepper spray? Baton? Any of those would have looked even worse then n my opinion.

    What does arrest powers have anything to do with this. The arrest powers are enumerated because they agents of the state, which does not change any legal status due to their actions. The law is quite clear on this.

    As far as the Garner, my original statement stands, and your suggestion that force was necessary is complete and utter BS.

    LEO's are allowed to use force when making an arrest. Joe Citizen is not. What's not to understand?

    And what other options did they have exactly? Seriously, I'd like to hear this.

    The amount of force is limited, Joe Citizen is allowed to use force to defend themselves, everything is based on the individual case. LEO is not allowed in indiscriminately kill people.

    The other option is to not have killed him, period. The take down was completely unnecessary but I seriously doubt that you care about any body else's rights but your own.

    FYI. Next time do some homework. LEO does not have carte blanche use of force and in this incident they went way over the limit.

    http://www.nij.gov/topics/law-enforcement/officer-safety/use-of-force/pages/welcome.aspx
    Broadly speaking, the use of force by law enforcement officers becomes necessary and is permitted under specific circumstances, such as in self-defense or in defense of another individual or group.
    There is no single, universally agreed-upon definition of use of force. The International Association of Chiefs of Police has described use of force as the "amount of effort required by police to compel compliance by an unwilling subject" [1].
    Officers receive guidance from their individual agencies, but no universal set of rules governs when officers should use force and how much.
    Context counts. No two situations are the same, nor are any two officers. In a potentially threatening situation, an officer will quickly tailor a response and apply force, if necessary. Situational awareness is essential, and officers are trained to judge when a crisis requires the use of force to regain control of a situation. In most cases, time becomes the key variable in determining when an officer chooses to use force.
    Amount of Force Used
    Law enforcement officers should use only the amount of force necessary to mitigate an incident, make an arrest, or protect themselves or others from harm. The levels, or continuum, of force police use include basic verbal and physical restraint, less-lethal force, and lethal force.

    The Martins took advantage of their son's publicized death and didn't take them long to be selling Trayvon t-shirts! Holy crap! Now that's showing a real broken heart over your dead son...(*)(*)(*)(*) like that is beneath contempt......and to the racists out there, yeah! I would say the same thing about a white couple profiting over their dead kid.
