Re: Riot erupts following shooting death of unarmed black teen in Missouri - wilf - 08-17-2014
While the media might be overly liberal and cast these stories as "the white guy shot the black guy", it's closer to the truth - most of the time - to say a thug was stopped by someone who wouldn't put up with it. Many blacks believe today that whites won't fight back so they take advantage of our generally peaceful nature, but take a look at history and it will tell you that whites can and WILL take up arms if they feel imminently threatened and not only take them up but with remarkable skill and organization. We don't do it because we rely on law and order to keep us from anarchy but if the police ever stop enforcing the public peace you'll see a different side of "whitey". It is a shame that ever other minority that has ever entered this country does better as a group in adopting values that lead to education and prosperity. I know many really good, decent blacks but they are in a serious struggle to overcome the stereotypes imposed on them due to a sizeable group of thugs bent on taking advantage of every bad situation by manifesting criminal mindsets. Black leaders should remind their constituents that they are only 12% of the population and will never win an outright battle in the streets with the rest of the country. Integrate with decency or continue to be relegated to the "bad" side of life. Word.

We now know that teenager Brown was skilled in stealing, committing property crimes, and that his comrade in crime, Dorian Johnson was also identified as the accomplice who held up a convenience store, prior to the shooting. Most TV stations always, looking for a news story, only promoted single bylines like, " unarmed black teenager shot by white police", but did not mention, that Brown and Johnson were criminals. These TV stations, by their inflammatory and misleading reporting, in their zeal to get top news billing, caused much of the destruction and rioting in Ferguson. These so called news agencies, should be held accountable for the ensuing riots, property damage, and carnage that have been brought to Ferguson, by improper and false reporting. One wonders why the press find headlines more valuable, than the truth ?

yet there is no proof that the kid was stealing at all. he and the cashier may have had an argument that's all.
they are already building a case against the victim, to try him instead of the cop who killed him
Re: One shot, seven arrested in clashes after curfew in Ferguson, Missouri - Allison - 08-17-2014
The police set a reasonable curfew. Nearly all citizens followed that curfew. Only a few young adults chose not to do good. It was a late Saturday evening without many activities for poor people to do. So only a few chose to not follow the rule or to loot and riot. Now, someone has been shot!
President Obama warned others not to take advantage of the unrest as an excuse to loot and riot.
Ferguson shooting victim Michael Brown was shot 6 times - chairman - 08-18-2014
A private autopsy on the unarmed teen killed by police in Ferguson, Mo., showed he was shot at least six times and suffered two devastating wounds to the head, it was revealed Sunday.
The preliminary report on the autopsy, performed by former New York City Medical Examiner Michael Baden at the request of Michael Brown’s family, showed that the 18-year-old was struck four times in the right arm. A fifth bullet went into his right eye and the sixth pierced the top of his skull, which was the fatal wound, The New York Times reported.
Some of the bullets caused multiple wounds and were all fired at the front of the body — disproving claims of protesters that Brown was shot in the back while fleeing.
It was the most detailed autopsy information publicly released.
