Three things at play here.

a) those guys were just looking for a reason to cause all that trouble.

b) the grand jury are retards.

c) this is how many people in the world are.

Africa, middle east, detroit, the examples of people who don't get their way and then think blowing shit up and killing people are perfectly justifiable.

I wasn't joking around about this, these guys are just looking for any and all excuses. How many people have died at the hands of blacks just since this "innocent" guy was killed? 100's? 1000's? Nobody cares about that, do they?

i think in Ferguson, it's been only Michael Brown that's died in connection with this case, is that the point you were trying to make?

today the police officer said " that he opened his door and said hey come here for a minute to michael brown, and michael brown responded 'what the f__K are you going to do about it' ….

what the hell kind of response is that, does that even make sense?

[starving student]

you know the more I think about it the more I'm starting to think this whole thing might have just been a clerical error from the very beginning, almost like a typo. Look at what we know, these cases keep coming up again and again with the same factors… black kid unarmed or black kid with toy gun, or black kid talking on the phone (trayvon martin/ and dead walmart black dude) … okay now bear with me but doesn't this suggest something that we've been overlooking?…… none of these reporters ever say what the police conduct manual says about these instances…. maybe just maybe the police manual tells the police that a black man is a super human being in some way superior to the police even if the black man is unarmed.. basically a super hero.. , now all of this is nonsense but at the same time it makes allot of sense and does explain what is going on in the policeman's mind when he encounters a black man.

imagine ' omg, there's a black man, he's such a fantastic specimen so superior and powerful. I know he's unarmed and I am armed, with several weapons none the least of them a gun and also I know I can call for back up from more police with more guns but nooooo, I have to do the best I can to kill this guy right now, oh my gooood he's just sooooo powerful, sooooo magnificent, I can feel his power from even 20 feet to 20 yards away and sure he's not armed with so much as a plastic spoon but i can't let that sway my judgement cause he's sooooo freakin incredibly powerful I don't even feel comfortable classifying him as a teenager, he's more like some kind of god that is about to smite me.. yeah maybe and unarmed god but be honest is a god ever really unarmed … huh? he could probably kill me with just a thought and make savage love to my wife with another thought . I've got to just keep pulling the trigger over and over again, I've heard of beings like this needing 42 shots in the past to go down and this ones unarmed so at least it'll take 11 shots to even stun him.'

so I think all of this could have been avoided if they had just updated the police manuals and told them, in the manual in no uncertain terms that an unarmed black man is not a super hero, superior being, or god but actually just…. an unarmed black human being. no fear = no killing people holding no weapons.

lol did you hear what darren wilson said about mike brown today, as it turns out he really did think mike brown was a superior force, he said something like he felt like a rag doll in mike browns hands or something like that, oh ffs, and did you see the close up pictures of the damage that he said mike brown inflicted on his face? ohh ffs again

[starving student]

no he said he felt like a 5 year old to a hulk hogan…. this is even though he and mike brown are both 6/4

Mostly I think the media are irresponsible assholes. There are plenty of situations where cops have more than stepped over the line and there is ZERO controversy about it.

The media hates that, doesn't sell. So they take situations that are more than anything else just truly tragic and blow them up. The facts are that we don't have anything but eyewitness testimony on this case, and it's a fact that memory is fully mutable, see any number of studies done on this. There are literally dozens of cases in the last couple of years that even a 'law and order' type person would have to say that yeah, the cop is a killer, there are no excuses, but instead we get what from what we know is a guy who was mental enough to get into it with a cop, and a cop mental enough to shoot that guy, and that's what we focus on.

Fuck the news, it's all yellow journalism at this point! This shit is a fan for racism on all sides.

[starving student]

i agree we are overly concerned about what the media thinks but clearly not enough concerned about the truth.

more than anything I'm concerned about what the guy walking with michael brown (his friend) and the officer Darren wilson have said.
fortunately they've both spoken very clearly. the only question is what you want to believe.

the question is do you believe the officer was so scared of michael brown that he killed an unarmed kid, or do you believe michael brown was so un-afraid of the cop that he attacked an armed police officer without a weapon presumably thinking he would be victorious?

it depends on who's doing the talking and who's doing the listening.
if america is doing the talking and another country is doing the listening then the answer is violence.
if it's an american internal change being spoke of then the answer is to vote.
Since Barack Obama has been president there has been unprecedented attacks and damage on the right to vote.

Personally I believe the answer is money. One by One the people should identify the benefactors of their oppression and withdraw all monetary support from them.
back in the day simple bus boycotts did more damage to institutionalized racism than what is happening anywhere in america today.

man this stuff is getting heavy, lets have an intermission to lighten things up a bit during these trying times.
btw this is nsfw, and just incase some of you and you know who you are don't know, the underlying tone of equality in this clip is not part of the joke.

A good discussion of the prosecutor's announcement.

protests, do they really work? if not, what is the best effective way to make change?

Call me cynical, but at this point I think building a space ship and getting the hell out of Dodge is your best option
