    Yeah! Look at all these savage white people acting like animals and destroying their own neighbors' businesses!







    No wonder the police tend to target th--oh, wait. They aren't frequently targeted.

    I don't know how many times I have to reiterate the fact that I'm not a liberal, but this is why you're going to be called a racist. It's not just for the obviously racially-charged quip about low-hanging pants. It's rather difficult to not be racist when you're attempting to justify police officers targeting a group of people on the basis of race and calling them animal-like on that basis.

        I don't know of any liberal duck that generally opposes abortion, is neutral on the issue of gun control and vehemently opposes Obama's executive war actions like I do.

            It's not black vs white. It's law-abiding citizens vs thugs. No matter what race they are. My comment was about how can someone think that destroying their OWN property and neighborhood is teaching the "rich white man" anything about justice. The looters and rioters in Ferguson were worse criminals than Brown was. They are the ones who ruin the neighborhood. They are the ones who are hurting their own people. No matter what color they are. I saw whites and blacks on TV amongst the rioters in Ferguson. They are all thugs.

            But you keep going on and defending their actions.

              That kid in the middle is very obviously not white, first of all.

              Second, the police were brought in in both San Francisco riots after both world series wins, so I'm not really sure what point you're trying to prove.

                  Is this normal police work? No photos or forensic examination of the police officer at the scene?

                  After the shooting, the supervisor turns up and sends Wilson back to the police station where he washes the blood off.

                    Got a cite for that?

                    Yes, he should be wearing the blood even today.

                    FORTUNATELY for Wison, there was enough blood and DNA inside the patrol vehicle to support his version of the incident where a struggle over his duty weapon took place INSIDE the patrol vehicle.

                      Actually liberals often say that they are basically against abortion. That they want to make it rare.

                      Not sure exactly what "neutral on the issue of gun control" means. Are you also "neutral" on free speech? Freedom of religion? How about on unlawful searches and seizures or trial by jury? Perhaps you should explain further.

                      Oh I know a few self-identified liberals who also feel that way. But they bite their tongues because its Obama. It reminds me of when the celebutard Janeane Garofalo was asked why wasn't there anyone out protesting Bill Clinton's military actions like they had George H.W. Bush's and she responded that "It just wasn't cool to protest Clinton's wars."

                      I'm always still in trouble again

                        I would have thought that opportunities to gather evidence would not be passed up so easily. Not saying that is suspicious but it looks quite careless.

                          But I'm not the least bit surprised that your prejudice keeps you from finding the truth.

                            Now you’re being silly. I was simply asking if that was normal. Man at scene with blood on him is told to go and wash up. Suppose it was the other way around. Dead policeman, black guy covered in blood. Would he have been told to wash up? No. I don’t think so. Do you see the problem?

                              Ummmm.... have you ever noticed that when first responders EXPECT that they'll encounter bodily fluids, including blood, they wear GLOVES?

                              Suppose it was the other way around. Dead policeman, black guy covered in blood. Would he have been told to wash up?
                              For the sarcastically impaired the following is said in jest

                              How can a dead policeman go wash up?



                              No. I don’t think so. Do you see the problem?
                              Every time you post, yes.

                                You said in the previous post "These people wonder why the police target them. They act like animals." The pronoun "they" sure doesn't seem to be referring to anyone but African-American folks, as white folks aren't the ones believing that the police tend to target them.

                                Additionally, the most common slogans I'm hearing are "No justice, no peace" and "Black lives matter." Their motive apparently isn't to "teach" the authorities about justice so much as demand it.

                                But you keep going on and defending their actions.
                                No. I don't support the looting or burning of buildings and police cars. But it's important to keep in mind that many (most) protesters weren't doing either. They shouldn't be conflated.
