There are "shit stirrers" on both sides. in my opinion the right wingers who demonize all who are not exactly like them are much worse than Rev. Sharpton and Crump. I will take them any day over Limbaugh, Beck and such.

<p>I suspect that the grand jury got it right. I don't know, because I did not hear the evidence or testimony presented but I find myself wanting to believe they got it right. However, I don't know much about those involved either, did the prosecutor put up a robust case to get an indictment?

<p>I suspect that the grand jury got it right. I don't know, because I did not hear the evidence or testimony presented but I find myself wanting to believe they got it right. However, I don't know much about those involved either, did the prosecutor put up a robust case to get an indictment? What is his or her history of involvement in cases involving police misconduct or issues of race. I also can not begin to understand what this means to the black community. And I am not sure any of us can. We don't have the same frame of reference for issues like this, we have never walked a mile in a young black mans shoes. Statistics can illustrate many of the issues, the number of police stops of blacks verses whites, the number of arrest of black males versus whites, the number of convictions, the sentencings, the length of incarcerations - all can be compared across the demographics. There may be legitimate causal reasons the numbers appear skewed one side to the other and there may be underlying bias that account for some of it as well. But my point is that it tells a story and creates a reality that impacts how the black community "exists". I can only try to understand or relate to how this decision feels to that community. And like any community-there is more than one opinion, yet an entire community if being tarred by the actions and attention getting behavior of a few. The grand jury decided that there was not enough evidence to show probably cause that a crime had been committed - yet an unarmed young black man, suspected of being involved in an attempted robbery, was shot several times by an officer of the law. The young black man is dead, which is a tragedy and the officer's career is in the toilet, a shame. And the story only highlights just how far we have yet to go regarding race relations in the country.</p> yeah it is sad .. and stupid…tag:teebeedee.ning.com,2014-11-26:1991841:Comment:17252772014-11-26T09:53:53.625Zfrenchyhttp://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/frenchy160

<p>I'm getting ready to go the store and tutor, and I have CNN on. A young black father and his 11 year old son are being interviewed. The man brought tears to my eyes. He is humiliated and devastated by the destruction that the people of Ferguson wrought on their own neighborhood. He said there was a business here yesterday, and now it's burned down. He bought food for his kid and his family there. He wants to teach his son that this is NOT the thing to do. He said he tells his son if he wants his rightful place in the world, do well in school. The man broke my heart. A man of dignity has to lie down with dogs because of their bad behavior. Ugh.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I hate ignorant behavior and I hate ignorant racism that makes people clump all black people together because of the scum bags that live amongst them. There is no excuse for it whatsoever. The people who destroyed Ferguson are just plain bad people. They aren't protesting shit. They are just bad. And because of people like them, neighborhoods like Ferguson are targeted by cops and things like the Mike Brown death happen. It's not racism. It's perpetrator profiling. What a sad state of affairs. I was really hoping that reason would reign, but the scum have taken over again.
