Wilson didn't know anything about Brown stealing Swishers, he stopped him because he was walking in the middle of the road.

So, Brown's step-father made himself a conspirator to the incitement and performance of arson and many other crimes with his four simple words. It looks to me like his family hasn't seen the inside of a court room for the last time.

Yeah ... it's no wonder that Ferguson's citizens have exactly the kind of police force they deserve!

No worries. If you hadn't, then someone else would have.

At least no one here is stupid enough to burn down their own city just because they don't like the findings of Ferguson's grand jury.

Interestingly, if the minority communities weren't so rife with crime, they wouldn't need as much policing.

That's what people should be protesting. Why it's so violent in those areas.

I heard many "protesters" were actually just rioters/criminals from other areas. This is very common.

Many poor areas, regardless of race, have higher crime rates.

Police are being too gentle. They should never have allowed all the arson of private property.

The only way you could tell that is going by who is arrested, but that won't give a full picture, of course.

Yes (whilst poor doesn't = more crime by itself, but typical criminals tend to be unable to function in society in a way to earn things). Though it's being made out as a problem for minorities in this instance by those on the street.

I'm sure they won't be now.

It needed to be done. Outted the lack of humanity here, and once again exposed a lot of closet racism on WP

Yeah, and it outed ignorant people that rather emotion and subjective interpretations/lies than the actual objective truth.

I don't think you are capable of feeling emotion. Stick to listening to illiterate rappers and singers curse their way through what is supposed to pass of music

^^^
there are primarily logical aspies and primarily emotional aspies, and the evidence is in that each group needs to avoid the other.

To the tune of chestnuts roasting on an open fire

/Cops cars roasting on an open fire / Walgreens burning to the ground / Knocking over the Toys RRRR Us!! ! / Folks dressed up like Anarchists..../

It's a work in progress.

Seasons Greetings.
