Ferguson, MO

the other thing that i find funny is a lot of people are comparing it to middle eastern riots, riots in china for freedom etc...

its really not, its just people who don't have anything better to do causing riots and stealing shit. its just ridiculous.
 
NBC's coverage is absolutely disgusting as well. So completely one sided, just trying to incite trouble. Using phrases like,

"Grand Jury FAILING [emphasizing the word failing] to indict officer Wilson after gunning down the unarmed teenage boy"

"St. Louis County police coming in with militarized armored vehicles used to fight the dual wars in Afghanistan and Iraq"

Uh, yes I would. Nice try at pulling the race card though.

The President of the U.S. is the President of the U.S., regardless of race, and I would expect whoever is in that position to stick up for the justice system.

Yeah that was a pretty crappy argument on my part.

I love how everyone uses the terms "boy" and "teen"...This was a 6'4", 300 lb young man who was dangerous. It's unreal.
 
All we can hope is that they hurt each other, and not innocent people not partaking in this animal like behavior. Its fucking sickening that it comes down to rioting and looting, only because it was a white cop so they assume it was racism. If this teenage thug was killed by another thug, we wouldnt have even heard about it, and all would be normal in ferguson right now

jumpin to conclusions a little quick there eh? im 6'2 197 lb am i dangerous? If the guy is 300 pounds he wouldnt be able to run faster than most peoples trots.
 
The fact that this rioting/looting occurred speaks to the people of Ferguson and the values that they really hold true. It truly is disgusting that these people feel the need to react to this by looting/rioting and destroying their town by committing more crimes. No one knows what went on in the court room, the US justice system (whether you like it or not), made a decision. I find it sickening that the black community is so one sided that they feel the need to destroy their town. These people are absolute savages. Forgetting about race, they are aboslute idiots. Insanely biased and not looking at the facts. Obviously his mom is going to paint him as the perfect kid....the kid had a criminal background.

there are nfl linemen that are over 300lbs and can run sub 5 sec 40 yard dashes. Thats faster than most people

jumpin to conclusions a little quick there eh? Terron Armstead ran his 40-yard dash in an unofficial time of 4.65 seconds, which is stunningly fast for a 306-pound offensive tackle.

Well that was super racist.

well he wasn't training to be in the nfl or else we probably would have heard it used in some anti police propoganda

I really don't understand what you're getting at. I mentioned his size because it illustrates how he wasn't some young boy that most media outlets have made him out to be. Also, since he was a criminal performing criminal acts and physically threatening an officer, his size does matter since it adds to the situation, so it really isn't me 'jumping to conclusions'?

im saying that 300 pound people aren't the most athletic people and don't really pose a threat of close quarter combat. im not taking sides here but i am guessing there could have been a smarter way for officer wilson to approach the situation

just because youre big doesnt mean youre slow, that was my point... are you fucking dense? His speed doesnt even matter, it was a close quarters altercation where his size would have given him a huge advantage

Millions die each day? Bullshit. So that means 365-400 million people are killed each year? More than 7% of earth?

I admit millions was an exaggeration. I definitely didn't think that through. We can still agree that a lot a people die from war and shit around the world though.
 
Hahaha these fuckin idiots are smashing store windows right in front of LIVE news outlet cameras...How fucking dense can you get? Liquor stores and McDonalds, specifically hahahaha.
 
Fox News cameraman just got attacked on live TV, holy shit.

It was right after they just showed people stealing bottles of Citron Vodka and Orange Soda, lol.

Considering Brown had forcefully robbed a convenience store minutes before the altercation happened, I don't think it's that unreasonable to call him dangerous.

Great TV isn't it?

IDK what to say though I agree with the people protesting.

You agree with this protesting? You're a piece of shit. They're just happy the resulting decision gives them a reason to loot and get free shit. This is not reasonable protesting

What a fucking idiot you are. But with the Peppermill Casino in Reno being the basis for your username, can't say I'm surprised about such a trashy comment.
 
I never said the protesting was justified just that Wilson not getting indicted was bullshit.

Don't know what to say about the protesting. And fuck my opinion anyways Im some idiot watching on TV who is unaffected.

But black people are still oppressed and remember there are still black people alive who remember segregation and lynchings public demonstrations like this are inevitable when an oppressed people feel powerless and unrepresented and unprotected by the police.

PS- Whoever said the P Mill sucks better watch their mouth you are cruising for a bruising.

I know youre a troll, but this behavior doesnt help them, it sets them back
 
I honestly don't even care much about the shooting but rather how these people react to such situations. I blame things like this on a lack of leadership at the government, local, and family level. You don't ever hear about this happening in Muskogee, OK or Laramie, WY, ect... and that is because there are strong values and structures within the governments (Local and state) and family units. I know many hardworking black people in my community, hell my doctor is black. But you can distinctly tell the difference between them and those present in Ferguson. The same can be said about almost every race, it just seems to be more of an issue within the black community. Hopefully something is done in the future to better deal with this issue.

Easy for you to say.

Cops in mixed race cities have always been really cool to me. I get treated far differently than I would if I was black. I like it. Im also an asshole watching this shit on TV about to rip a bong.

So dude morally Im going to be in the wrong no matter what. There is no high horse for me to being judgemental from stop worrying about if Im trolling.

I am just saying that I think its bullshit that cops murdered an unarmed kid and that the cop won't be prosecuted. And its bad enough that the demonstrations aren't not to be expected. Most of these people in the streets have relatives in jail for non violent crimes like weed do you know the incarcertion rate for black people in places like MO? Going to jail for a black kid in Ferguson is like going to college for a kid posting on newschoolers. SO FUCK OFF.

Why can't they fry this piece of shit cop for killing a kid again?
 
I just turned on coverage of this. They interviewed some woman in times square. She's like "As a black woman, a black woman of color..." As opposed to what? A white woman of color? Or a black woman not of color? People need to think before they speak.

And what animals they are, in Ferguson. No I'm not trying to be racist. There's people of all races there. A court makes a decision and they go proceed to burn down their town? Sounds like the appropriate response.
 
So much ignorance in this thread right now

The real issue here has nothing to do with the grand jury's decision. The real issue is the fact that an entire community feels like the police are out to get them. It's not unjustified (check out some of these numbershttp://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/08/10-insane-numbers-ferguson-killing). The real thing we should be talking about is what conditions led us to be in the situation that we're in today. Not about how MB was a 300 lb "thug," not about how the protesters in Ferguson are "savages" (honestly NSG, I'm pretty surprised and disgusted at how much racism you're willing to produce/tolerate), but what could lead a community to react so strongly to something like this.
 
I'm sure black guys shoot unarmed white guys too. I don't see why it's got to be about race. Maybe don't go around shooting each other constantly? Sounds like a good idea.

The president's job isn't to defend the status quo. If he thinks it's flawed it's his job to fix it. He won't and shouldn't defend a system with which he's unhappy.

Ignorance? I believe we are all just saying there is no place in a society to be looting, assaulting, and destroying, no matter what color.
 
I was just in the south in Mississippi and Lousiana for over a week TRUST me the poor black people were more respectable and educated and smarter and more upstanding and ethical than the poor white trash people.

And rioting like this is no big deal in the big picture. It should be a right of all people to gather and sometimes a small minority in a large crowd acts stupid and enabled and causes trouble. Do you want cops to shoot rioters?

Anyone on here ever been in the middle of a riot?

I was in the Vancouver riots in 2011 after the hockey game when my Bruins won. Just took my Bruins jersey off when I walked out of the arena and didn't sweat it and enjoyed watching the rioters walk past from a lobby bar at a Marriott and mocking them through the window in B's gear. Riots are awesome that riot was the shit another fan gave me a ride to my hotel so the cabs and public trans being shut down didn't inconvenience me either.

Yes, let us take the word of one man who was in the south for an ENTIRE WEEK. Obviously it means you have enough experience to give an educated opinion on the topic.

Rioting is not a big deal in the big picture? You realize that with these riots the message that Michael Brown's parents tried to get out will be lost? The mainstream news will cover the riots and neglect the importance of the changes the parents want to instill.

You are the stupidest fucking person.
 
Why are the police standing in a line on the street and not putting the fires out or shooting the looters? Get to work you lazy fucks.

Obviously a troll post but at least put effort in. Firemen put out fires, not the police.

In all honesty, the facts that come out after tonight should be interesting to read.
