any reason why you left out the key detail of why he was attacked?

doesn't take a rocket scientist to see he just cut and pasted the top lead in text

doesn't matter why he was attacked. You want police to wear go-pros to record interactions with civilians but not allow cameras into meetings of 'legitimate' protestors???

that would be a bit of a double standard, wouldn't it?

Oh, I tend to think so as well, but it is a salient detail he either did not know (shocking), or did not include (even more shocking).

In either event, it was not a angry mob just seeing an easy target and going after him. He poked the bear. It was about as smart as trying to wrestle a cop for his gun.

Only you would try to declare as irrelevant immediate cause for an incident you cite as a proof that these black thugs are the problem in society.

or that girl wearing that tight dress?

the only reason to physically attack someone is in defense of you or another being physically attacked by that someone - period

I picked my example because many have said the dead guy had it coming once he fought with the officer in the car. Even though there (apparently) were two sets of shots fired, one within the car, and with both people outside.

The tight dress analogy doesn't work, rehmwa - no one else is impacted by that. But as we've seen with glassholes and long before, people often do object to being recorded or photographed without permission. It appears he insisted on doing it anyway, leading them to believe it was more police harassment.

It appears the bull shit here will continue regardless of fact

It seems Michael Brown learned to behave badly from his mother.

Reports also say she my face Felony armed robbery charges.

Seems Michael Brown was a victim of poor parenting.

Yea I posted that in the other thread and no one wants to step up and face more indicators that Brown was in fact not the young sweet teen raised to be a choir boy destined for college like the media wants you to think.

in fact if that's why they did chase and beat him, it does pretty much prove that these black thugs, as you call them, are indeed a problem in society.

If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

If the media wanted us to believe that, why would they report on the mother?

[Anvilbrother 0]

Young....unarmed....black.....teen...shot by cop.....then they show an old pic of him.

You'll have to look back and see what outlets did the reporting.

apparently the grand jury is out now and will give their decision later.

read the posts and twitters and comments - people are talking about "guilty" and "not guilty". Doesn't anyone that is actually invested in this understand what a grand jury does?

Often adding the word "grand" exceeds the allowable length for sound bites on the more popular news shows.

No. Americans' education about basic civics is woefully lacking.

Yet you did that without statistics.
Impressive.

I am just a white male, but I think thugs are a problem, whether white or black.

Now, the problem starts when those who look like a thug get harassed because of how they look, not because of what they do, or have done.

That problem is compounded further when people of a specific race are seen as thugs, just because they belong to that race.

When that happens long enough, people get pissed off. Once people get really mad, logic and reasoning tends to go out the door. Add to that some mob mentality and you have got yourself a problem.

What the man in the video says goes for a lot of people. Taking responsibility for your own actions is important. That goes if you are black, white, yellow or purple.
