if they jailed all of the Ferguson police and started sorting out which ones actually committed crimes. These police officers need to be brought to justice plain and simple.
massive force was used. For example, 50 caliber machine guns were used to destroy buildings that were the source of sniper fire. That is how those stopped. Many more people died than what was ever reported. Those sections of Newark never recovered and remained rubble for decades and are probably still rubble. So there is that to look forward to also.
The media is force feeding this so much I can't turn the TV on until it goes away.
Oh and I can't stand Al Sharpton. The African American community will never be taken seriously as long as it keeps putting him in the forefront as some kind of leader and moral compass every time there is an issue.
Are you kidding? First is was, 'we want his name'. They have that. Then it will be if he's arrested, then the trial. And then if he's found not guilty.
Many of the people there don't believe Brown was the person in the robbery video. This is about more than the shooting.
And it would help if the media and just about everyone else would back off.
I'll let everyone know at the next meeting that you don't take us seriously. After we vote out Al as the Supreme Leader of All Blacks, we'll call you to see who we should nominate for the position.
then it was "those heavy-handed, militarized county cops." Now it's the state police and on-scene commanders hugging locals and the rioting continues. While there are undoubtedly problems with the way much of this was handled, especially after the first night of rioting, the persistence of this suggests that maybe it has less to do with the police and more to do with the people perpetrating this. Who knows, maybe if Eric Holder comes down with a bullhorn and a few truckloads of FBI agents this whole thing will dissipate. This is the sound of me holding my breath.
acceptable version of "justice" is predetermined in the mind of those feeling aggrieved.
Sadly, I guess that is to be the somewhat expected result when you have much of the media and a good portion of the country telling them precicly that very thing, in spite of none of them knowing any of the actual details of what occurred.
has already convicted the officer in the court of public opinion based on his own statements and the DOJ actions. Him going down is just hyper inflating the tension even more.
In a rare moment aside from sending Holder down there, I think that Obama has been remarkably restrained and talkative about steps needed which is a big change from prior racially charged incidents.

You really don't see the possibility that the police are antagonizing this stuff now?

Here are Tapper's full remarks, via Mediaite:
I want to show you this, okay? To give you an idea of what’s going on. The protesters have moved all the way down there… they’re all the way down there. Nobody is threatening anything. Nobody is doing anything. None of the stores here that I can see are being looted. There is no violence.
Now I want you to look at what is going on in Ferguson, Missouri, in downtown America, okay? These are armed police, with — not machine guns — semi-automatic rifles, with batons, with shields, many of them dressed for combat. Now why they’re doing this? I don’t know. Because there is no threat going on here. None that merits this. There is none, okay? Absolutely there have been looters, absolutely over the last nine days there’s been violence, but there is nothing going on on this street right now that merits this scene out of Bagram. Nothing.
So if people wonder why the people of Ferguson, Missouri are so upset, this is part of the reason. What is this? This doesn’t make any sense.
we had all the feel-good stories about the state police taking over and the attitudes changing just a day or two ago. Either every department is rotten to the core or the dynamics owed a lot more to the other side of this dispute than to marauding policemen.
authority willing to arrest the officer, then they can proceed with their civil lawsuit so they can get money. I wonder if the mother (who did not have custody of the young man) trademarked the Justice For Michael Brown slogan?
Unfortunately for them, the evidence is going to support the arresting officer's version of events. From the strong arm robbery to the bull rush at the police officer.
Meanwhile 6 black teenagers were shot and killed in Chicago over that same weekend. No outrage there.

If you assume the "feel good" continued on the police side of things. Which media reports say it's not.

And we know the media has no stake in this and is completely unbiased.
You're welcome.
A kid gets shot and kill and that means every night looting is justified?
Read the link this is far from the fault of police, the actions of few increases the risk of all.

Just have Tony Stewart drive down the street there and it will end.

But justice was just said to be the arrest, the indictment and the successful prosecution of the officer.
Expect more riots unless they use the officer as an example, even if he's not guilty.
At this point, it is simply a reason to be lawless and loot.

Well done Rud.
Best idea yet. That will clear the streets. It's almost too cruel.
the parent is a registered voter... that person has the right to vote... with that mental capacity, its scary...
Daily Caller or Stormfront links expected shortly.
