I'll say this much: whatever happened during the shooting, the reaction reveals a serious distrust between the mostly black population of Ferguson and its mostly white police force. Ferguson desperately needs a more representative police force, because as it now stands the police are regarded more as an occupying army than a civil constabulary based on Peelian principles.
Well, maybe instead of those "African Americans" standing around, rioting, looting, destroying peoples businesses, state and county owned vehicles, and a logical person's perspective on them, and the situation. Maybe, Just Maybe..... Some of those "African Americans" should expend some of that energy on getting an education, and a job with the ferguson pd....
What people like Martin Luther King JR did to help the black community out, guys like Sharpton, and jesse Jackson have destroyed and then some. Add in our worthless President, and you have the three stooges. The black community praises these baffoons, and believes everything they say to be gospel. if they would just stand back, and look at the big picture, they would realize that those three people have done more to hurt their community than anything!
These "protests" do nothing good for their agenda. Look at what happened on Lake street yesterday. What good came from that? What did they change? What actually was their "agenda"? Did they accomplish anything at all? No! They just made themselves out to look like a bunch of welfare collecting, food stamp using, drug addicted fools! That block traffic and think they are above the law and that their reasoning for standing in the middle of an intersection and blocking traffic is more important than being concerned about impeding their agenda on everyone else around them.
For my part, if someone would have went flying thru a green light there, and took out a couple dozen of them. I would say he/she should be able to walk... They have the green light, and i'm willing to bet that the people standing there in the crosswalk didn't have the "walk" sign! It's their own stupidity that got a few of them hit by a car yesterday. And I have zero sympathy for the ones that were hit.... You want to have your little "protest".... Then find a parking lot! Find a park! Find a place where your out of our sight, and out of our mind. Don't drag everyone else into your idiocy!
