With people plotting like this there will be no progress as any good positive protesting will be out-shadowed by this.

It seems like everyone has something to say until the people that they supposedly represent are encouraging hate and violence....then they sit back until another incident happens. I think if we are to heal they need to stop that and be just as active in trying to establish a peace as they do stirring up headlines to further their careers.

Kid's gloves to the perpetrators and we cannot forget the OJ Case and how that all ended...

You know if were totally healed, the LA riots over Roddy King would of never happen, and these Riots would never of happen. It is time we look at why they keep happening, figure out to truly get them resolved. Hold everyone accountable to the point, where race should matter anymore. So sad to see such a large segment to see they are entitled, and other segment to keeps throwing up other pass cases. All them have gone to trial, you have your right to opinion, right or wrong, who cares. What we need to figure out, is how to fix this system so it doesn't happen again from this point on, not fix what has happen in the past, we can't bring them back, we can't undo slavery. Get over it, let's move forward, that stalled in neutral forever!

I have bad news: things won't change on the face of the earth. And I also have good news: we can adapt and overcome and teach others to do the same and slowly we can do something for our communities and Nation.

So my two cents on this issue people fail to understand and speak out of ignorance. Fact of the matter is this issue is racial various people from that town stated that there is a lot of racial tension from the police department. It would be hard for many of you to fathom this because you have never been or never will be in those shoes, so you cannot say that it isn't racial, for the fact is that racial profiling does occur when it comes to black and white cops. We only want to see one side and say the officer right simply because he is a cop, but the fact of the matter he is a liar and he did have some part in the escalation of the event and his account of the event does not make sense. So let's say that Mike Brown did steal cigarettes from the store it didn't mean he deserved to die. Why are the killers of sandy hook, the movie theater in Colorado allowed to be taken into custody with nearly not a hair on their head harmed, and they are clearly dangerous, but when it comes to African Americans we are always gunned down like animals. That officer was wrong and I know for a fact that he could have de-escalate the situation somehow, and I will not believe for one second that that he was not an aggressor in the situation as well, so people should stop saying racism isn't an issue and it doesn't exist I have experienced firsthand, and even experienced profiling in the military when an officer asked what my parents’ names were because he was surprised I didn't have an ethnic (ghetto) name simply because I'm black. We all need to address the elephant in the room and stop thinking that a small area rug is shielding it. Racism exist but it so easy for those who have not experienced it to say something g Iant racial. This racism needs to be a thing of the past and everyone should receive equal justice within our justice system...

Here is a news flash for you....If Michael Brown had listened to and did what the Police Officer told him to do rather than what he did do......He most likely would be alive and smoking a cigarette/cigar while sitting in jail.....Not Dead! For not doing so, he assumed responsibility for his life and death the second he did not comply! Grand Jury outcome validated that.
Let's talk briefly about Michael Brown's stealing (on video) in the shop. Yep, he did it, can't deny that no matter how you turn it. What happened to the values and virtures parents used to teach and beat/spank/whip there kids over when they were growning up. Seems to be some failure on the part of the parents there! We can't blame the cop for their and Michael Browns failures. But we don't hear much .....we don't hear any talk about that, so there were two opportunities that were missed to save his life. This is something that is so often overlooked when ever we have these White on Black incidents.
Are the cops ever wrong....are their bad and racist cops out there....hell yes! However there is a time to obey and then there is a time for retribution, thru the system...regardless of skin color. Being Black does not give you the right to not obey a Police Officer whether you like it or not and especially because of his color.
Then we have the race baiters like Sharpton and Jackson out there creating a stereotype and norm, )and sucked by the media for headlines) and as always, without ever knowing the facts or caring about evidence or the use of the legal system. These two have done more continue the chance of future shootings than they have to calm and bring peace or justice to any community. Yet, their BS is bought and sucked up time and time again. They speak so high of themselves for walking beside Dr. King.....but they damn sure forgot his message or what he stood for. They are more interested in keeping themselves relevent and in doing so have done so much to harm their fellow Black Man. If you disagree....love at the community of Ferguson now, burned, broken, so much destruction......and now the people left living there are asking themselves, "WTH are we going to do now!" OBTW....Al and Jesse left town flying 1st Class, feeling high and mighty and proud! And for What?
So cut the BS. Whether the situation is right or wrong...listen to the damn cop! Your chances of NOT getting shot grow tremendously, and better yet, don't break the law. The second you resist arrest, your chances of becoming a shot or dead victim climb to the max. The second you resist, a police officer is also (and righfully so) concerned for his personal safety and fear for his life.....you're liable to get shot! So don't be a dumbass....dumbass!
Now if you come across a bad cop.................you're toast! unfortunately that can be true for any of us (skin color be damned).
Life can be tough...but it can be tougher.......when you decide to be stupid and challenge any law enforcement officer. Be pissed, be mad, but be compliant.....tomorrow you can file your complaint and you'll be alive to do so.
