Yay. Both police and protesters.
Quote: | ST. LOUIS -- A year ago, after 18-year-old Michael Brown was killed by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, police responded to even peaceful daytime protests in the St. Louis suburb by deploying attack dogs and tactical vehicles, pointing sniper rifles at peaceful protesters, arresting people for simply standing still on public sidewalks, flooding demonstrators with tear gas -- often without warning -- and shooting them with bean bags, wooden pellets and balls filled with pepper spray. |

Undeniable sh-hole. I rolleyes whenever I hear "outside agitators". It won't hurt the lawful protestors (including the ones that take lawful to the razor's edge) that some of these Fs busting caps with reckless abandon are part of that community. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

take a look at the comments section... a lot of confusion and anger out there..
I wish there were some way people weren't ever labeled by their skin color.. talk about some serious (bleep) (bleep)..
Why would anyone let themselves be defined by their color instead of their actions and values? |

Agree, I have people in my life I respect that are of a different color than I am. It is their character and actions that I respect, not their color. I was never exposed to racism until I was an adult with my self pretty much developed, so I just don't get it. I know many here had different backgrounds, and I can respect their opinions based on those backgrounds. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

It's not something they let, it's something society heaps on them.
As far as value of their action is concerned society lumps the bad with the good and deems the bad as the way they are. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

this is a beautiful woman/mother who deserves to be heard more than Michael Brown's family in my humble opinion.
Michael Brown's stepfather incited more rioting and possible deaths when he told the protestors to burn this mother (bleep) down.. Mike had just committed robbery and assault on a elderly looking and probably Asian shop owner before getting into an altercation with a cop..
what did the 9 year old child do to deserve to be murdered..live in a neighborhood where people shoot each other over drug deals and pimping? |

I agree with you, the 9 year old child being murdered is truly deplorable and is indicative of a very serious problem that we need to work on |

just a quick thought... I thought it was proven by three different autopsy reports that Brown DID NOT put his arms up? or am I wrong? _________________ BUCK FOSTON! |

Here's the Pentagon's Report of Michael Brown's Autopsy
It's lengthy and medically worded. Draw your own conclusions.
