On the serious side..America has millions of these lil wayne gangsta's. We'll be dealing with ''Ferguson's'' for the rest of their lives unless some serious SERIOUS decisions are made. I don't see a politician with the nads to actually deal with them.
Only good thing about them is they have no drive or desire to better themselves and stay congregated in tha ghetto they built
I seen pictures of those fukktards burning American flags. A disgrace to all the men and women who have sacrificed so much including their lives, for that same flag. Makes me sick.
I'll chime in.
Where was the equal force continuum that Police are trained to deal with and de-escalate. The officer was clearly "trained" and carrying a CSB, collapsible steel baton and also many of them carry OC Spray and a Tazer. Why wasn't less lethal force used. Was it necessary and justified to use "lethal force". Funny thing was years ago I was attacked by a group of drunk men who began punching me/attacking me for no reason..I fought back with fists only, came out on top and fortunately won and I was arrested for 2nd degree assault, for defending myself. Later Nollied in Court. If this officer was assigned a position where he is allowed to "defend" himself legally, then equal and justified force needs to happen, and when it doesn't go down that way, then a Crime is committed, as it was in this case.
I think that is the major issue today. Our gov't has made a para military police force, that resembles the military. They have accurately divided the Police to no longer be seen as "to protect and to serve" because the truth is, that everyone knows the Police nowadays, many of them simply carry out and further laws and policies founded on corruption, greed and political agenda's. When's the last time a Police car pulled behind you and you did not worry..even if you were not doing anything wrong??
Mind you, people are saying racism. It's not racist, its intended to "provoke" racism, the way the Media presents. It's intentional. It causes disruption and attempt to create "division" among Americans. American's when standing together as a unified power, that is democracy. The current "regime" in the US is not a democracy. It is more reminiscent of a Totalitarian scheme. Obama is a puppet and the bigger picture is an overall more sinister scheme that people are failing to see that is controlled by far worse intentions.
Take a video camera and go into Oakland during a riot and protest and you are going to see the majority of the people involved being Black. Not rocket science. Some will be good, some will be bad, like any race or ethnicity. Many of them intend to peacefully protest and others intend to retaliate possibly violently, which then negates the situation.
What I will say is that Black Men and Women are oppressed and were historically for a long time. They are not given equal chances, never have. Their still is an aura of racism in this Nation, though lesser then say 50 years ago. Our gov't has betrayed them time in and time after, again and again and again, more so then any other ancestry, except maybe the American Indians..and look at them. They are barely existent these days. Gov't got what they wanted. What I will say is I have the utmost respect for the Black Community. They actually take action and take a stand for something.
Not the ones burning things down, and acting ignorant, but in general the ones voicing their concerns, protesting for a cause, for a reason.
Whether the Officer was right or wrong, I think this is simply an overall response to the years and years of Policing gone bad. There have been numerous illegal tactics used, including Police brutality, set ups, and intimidation by the Police in these communities. It reflects to me the overall current Para Military State and abuses of power in the Govt and LE.
It shows people still will hold them accountable. The gov't knows it is in violation of peoples rights, and the best way to negate that, is to create confusion and division. This is the time when American's need to stand together and unite. Look at what was possible with the Civil War. Millions of men, women and children executed over Slavery/the fight for freedom...which our Government enforced as being legal for years and years.
But the Gov't knows what is best for us?? Right?
This case was simply a trigger that is one more wheel in motion.
I'll chime in.

Obviously not condoning all the behaviors of any ethnicity...that is not what I am saying..not saying "some" of them don't have opportunities, but the truth is many of them are born into poverty, etc..and it's a revolving door in many cases. Compared to a middle class child who has much higher chances of succeeding and is raises in a much nicer, less violent, and better economic community.
Graniteman,
I grew up down south with primarily Black people who honestly are far nicer and hospitable then my very own white ethnicity as a whole.
I lived in North Philly for quite sometime..in a very bad area..I was the only white person, my fiance and I..in the entire neighborhood and I could walk up and down street ANY given day, not only unharmed..BUT Protected with my wallet out in my hand... I've been to Oakland, and Newark and those are all similar communities, that are primarily Black or Spanish. You have to fight to survive in a place like that generally speaking and opportunities are far more scarce in those inner cities.
And I have been in my share of fights, most of them in the ring as an amateur fighter...
I have been to prison and was housed with whites black and spanish and got along with all of them just fine...3 of my bunkies were in for 1st degree murder, so I don't see what your point is throwing that out there. Has nothing to do with this situation.
A "gunfight" is not when an Officer is attacked. That is the idea that someone in "law enforcement" would take, or a symphatizer. Simply because he is carrying a gun, doesn't make it a gunfight. That is why the Police are equipped with non lethal force. If I was being punched in the face I would have reached for my tazer, or OC, because my intent is not to kill a suspect or to murder anyone. I would simply try to de-escalate the situation. But you are right, I was not there so I can't say for a fact..what he should or shouldn't have done..but I will say that I do believe that our Nation is divided from law enforcement, and that is the bigger picture even in this situation.
BGH, with all due respect, American Indian's are not thriving if you look at their numbers statistically, which I hate to say bc we know stats can be misconstrued..but overall... They live as a whole on reserves, and they are virtually extinct. Many of them are suffering from alcoholism and mental health issues. They are trying to regain their composure, sure they are. They are very wholesome people overall. The comparison of Indians and African Americans being that our Gov't and Society has enflicted turmoil into their existance since day 1 in this Nation. We virtually stole this country from the American Indians and murdered them. Blacks were enslaved a mere century ago, and are still not treated equally in this Country. And racism is perpetuated time in and time again, as proof that it is not gone. It's not an excuse for the ethnicity as a whole, but rather a "reason" that such a large percentage of them struggle from Day1.
Fact is I have all my bases covered to form a valid opinion. Fact is my opinion is warranted. You may not "agree", but you can't dispute what I am saying is possible or that it might not be true. 2 versions and 2 ways to look at it.
