Has Sharpton ever been on the right side of a civil rights dispute?
And much of this is because blacks are more likely to commit crimes. The idea that they are more likely to be arrested because of a systemic racism is only part of the picture. The entire truth of the matter is they are more likely to be arrested/charged in part because they are black and in part because they do commit more crimes. Some matters are subjective, but homicide statistics aren't terribly, so that's the one I'll use: young black men are involved in a wildly disproportionate number of homicides per capita, and it is silly to think homicide is the only crime they are more likely to commit. FBI stats make all of this clear.However, the general violence that followed signifies a wide spread discontentment w/ the treatments of the communities by the police. This is probably the larger issues. Statistically speaking, blacks tends to get more arrests, longer jail time for the same crimes. This is the overall issue they need to address.
These things always happen quickly. And the facts obviously don't matter to race pimps, but for the rest of us they matter a great deal.The exact details of both cases isn't as important, since everything happened so quickly
I think you're being overly kind and I'm not sure why. There is enough evidence to point to a pretty strong affirmation of Wilson's account. No, it's not 100% knowable--few things are.the truth is probably unknowable to even the grand jury and the person who is dead can't really defend themselves in court and give their version of the story.
In this case not only was wilson not found guilty, but a grand jury didn't even find enough evidence to warrant a trial, so practically speaking he's about as guilty as I am of mass murder, because in neither case has a grand jury indicted us.Overall, the freeing of both zimmerman and wilson says nothing about other person been guilty, because that's not what the trials about. And also I would say the lack of evidence to convict isn't the same as completely free of wrong doing. There's a huge difference there.
A real problem in Ferguson is that the black populace there is sick and tired of being policed by white officers. It would be interesting to see what would happen if 50% of the police force was summarily terminated and replaced with black police officers.
In relation to the people protesting over a deadbeat issue proven wrong time and time again by a Grand Jury, where they made sure that OVER HALF of the Grand Jury was black just in an attempt to try to appease you fools...
Yet all we come out with regardless is...

Did they give the vote for the grand jury anywhere?
At this point I think the area should be left as is and zoned a historical site in tribute to the mob and state assistance given to help businesses relocate elsewhere. Let Ferguson be a monument to madness.
No and they won't Statute prevents any discussing of grand jury deliberations and votes etc...
If the 3 black jury members voted for trial and the rest voted for no trial, this could get a WHOLE lot uglier.....
I see two problems here. An out of touch racist police force, and a bunch of young black thugs who don't think they need to follow the law.
Some media talking head commented that Mr. Brown didn't need to die for some cigars.
Exactly, had he not strong-armed robbed the store, he could have avoided the entire confrontation with the cop. Then he was walking down the middle of the street, where the actual confrontation took place.
This kid was not headed to college, he was headed to a penitentiary. It's unfortunate he had to die like this, but he caused the whole sorry episode.
Darren Wilson was a good cop, no complaints against him. This kid did something so extreme he caused this cop to lose his mind and start shooting, that was trying to take the cop's gun.
In my life, I have always tried to avoid cops, because they are carrying a gun (and they are usually dicks). I would certainly never try and attack a cop without my own gun, to do otherwise is a suicide mission.Michael Brown had told people he was going to do something big with his life, this was it.
He died a martyr to the black community, and yes it was big. It is sad that young black men's lives are so shitty that they are willing to throw them away like this.
Justice was had, however that does not mean there should have been a trial to pronounce guilt or innocence. After reviewing some of the results of the GJ it seems that there was no basis for charges. That does not render the results of the encounter any less unfortunate nor do I celebrate the death of Brown, but it is what it is and there was no basis in reality for the thuggish (a word I seldom use) behavior of the mob and their bloodlust. No, they and their supporters have fallen far.

LMAO!!!! Funny how the same ole butthurt people from the Zimmerman trial are the same butthurt people over the "No bill" decision for this incident.
