The Shooting Gallery: Police Violence MEGATHREAD

[garbon]

Good news-- Sharpton is on the scene.

RESIST WE MUCH

I saw that and wanted to vomit.

[CountDeMoney]

Angry black people?  *shudder*

That's Brown's step-father yelling those very words to a crowd.

An even angrier black person then.  Gotcha.

Good news-- Sharpton is on the scene.

RESIST WE MUCH

He'll calm things down!

Because no one ever says anything inappropriate when caught up in a swell of emotion?

There's a difference between venting Florida Evans-style and exhorting a crowd to "Burn this bitch down."  Kind of unsettling that you're so willing to give the dude a pass.

LOL, Florida Evans.  You're such an unrepentant racist asshole, d.  But at least you keep it consistent.

If he repeats that phrasing again, then I'd take issue. Having a visceral reaction that involves making violent statements in the heat of the moment? Hardly surprising.

What scary military vehicles?

The ones that so enraged the public that they robbed a liquor store.

In Raz's fantasy land in any case.

Well at least you are backing off that position, so I'm happy.

[derspiess]

We all remember that poignant episode after James's funeral.  DAMN DAMN DAMN...

And no, I am not racist.  Stop that.

I guess you have lower expectations of people than I do.  Agree to disagree, then.

[CountDeMoney]

YOU KNOW WHO TALKS ABOUT RACE?  RACISTS!

[Valmy]

Well at least you are backing off that position, so I'm happy.

That was not my position

But I am happy they did the Grand Jury investigation.  If only a similar investigation would be done anytime a shooting like this occurs.

You had no problem with having lower expectations with those responsible for public safety last night.

To Spicey the civilian rabble is expected to have pristine conduct while trained professionals can do whatever.

No, for d, that is expected of white civilian rabble.  Black civilian rabble, well, they're just doing what they always do.

What did they do last night?
