wow, cute propaganda image. yay for google images...

and gay people have been oppressed, enslaved and had their rights denied since the beginning of time by not only white people, but by Blacks and every other race too.

What is your point?

If the "protesters" in Ferguson had their way, we'd be ruled by Mobs (who seem more interested in sneakers, weaves, and liquor than anything else)

Remind me again what looting a beauty supply shop has to do with civil rights? oh yea, i forgot, we aren't allowed to talk about black women's hair...

What is your point?

You used the time frame difference of blacks having rights over 50 years now (apparently). My point was don't compare the timeline of black rights movement and gay rights movement. LGB was around in the 80's and became LGBT in the 1990's. You mentioned all the achievements blacks have achieved in regard to their movement, they've been doing it for ages so rightly so there should been some progress. Your side is getting there beginning with gay marriage but this isn't about homosexuals so stop making it about them in every situation.

"Other minority rights groups/activists engage in SHAMEful behavior, while almost all gay rights protests are all about PRIDE."

Funny because I am reading some articles and white people have started many riots over various subjects like someone getting fired, beer not being allowed at an event, pumpkins, football games, surf competition but people riot about one kid who they think was unjustly killed and we get comments like "I don't care about black, go "BACH" to Africa", "shameful behaviour". Oh the white priviledge. And why isn't the news talking about this outcome, they mentioned Lee Rigby I couldn't be arsed this time. If Mike Brown was white they would not have talked about his supposed thuggish side but they would have painted him as a bright, loving kid who lost his mind along the way. If Lee Rigby did some bad **** in the past we would hardly know about it because all that matters is that one moment that he was killed, as it should be for Mike Brown but nope, everything has to go against him, his family owns guns, he looked like an oversized demon, he lives in the ghetto. Can't win.

i doubt that would have solved this. there are some people who will support a violent thug even with video evidence, and there is video evidence in this case of him being a violent thug.

Some people are very tribal, and just support their own, and can't hear reason.

.

Is that scene before hand or at the actual moment, in the scene of the crime? That is the argument!! It's not just about race it's about justice. Even the cop testified he had his hands up, was unarmed. What terrified him was his demon like appearance. Ok then.

But again, was this before hand or at the actual crime scene where the cop said he was unarmed and had his hands up?

Plenty of people rob with visible weapons and they are still handled appropriately.

Wilson did not know about the robbery. Some facts by Shaun King.

he was thuggish and violent. He robbed a store, and abused the staff at that store, violently. That makes him a violent thug.

Veterans' appeal to National Guard: "Stand with Ferguson protesters, not the police!"



To our brothers and sisters in the Missouri National Guard:

We are writing to you as active-duty U.S. service members and veterans, most of us having served in the Iraq war.

You have a choice you can make right now.

The whole world is watching the Ferguson police with disgust. They killed an unarmed, college-bound Black youth in broad daylight, and subsequently responded to peaceful, constitutionally-protected protests with extreme violence and repression.

Countless constitutional and human rights violations by these police have been documented over the course of the Ferguson protests; from attacking and threatening journalists, to using tear gas against peaceful protesters, including children.

Now, Governor Nixon has again activated the National Guard to “support law enforcement.” But you don't have to follow their orders—you can stand with the protesters instead.

Our true duty

When we signed up, we swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States.

The police in Ferguson are violating that Constitution.

The First Amendment guarantees the right to free speech, freedom of assembly and freedom of the press.

These laws are, as we are taught our entire lives, our most cherished Constitutional rights—the whole basis for the “freedom” we are told makes us the greatest country on Earth.

It is undeniable that the Ferguson police has used extreme violence against peaceful protesters, suppressing the right of the people to free speech and the freedom to assemble. They have attacked crowds, with children in them, with rubber bullets, sound cannons and tear gas. People have been mass arrested for simply being at the protest.

Freedom of the press has also been severely infringed upon by Ferguson police. Journalists have been arrested; photo evidence shows riot police firing tear gas directly at reporters and tearing down their camera equipment; Ferguson police have been caught on video threatening journalists with violence if they don’t leave, and declaring that they are not allowed in the protest area.

With such important and dramatic events unfolding, the right of the people in the United States to have the truth covered by the press is essential to any so-called democratic society.

The people have the right to protest. If we were truly honoring our oath, we would be in Ferguson to protect the protesters against the repression of their rights by the police.

We don’t just have a legal obligation, but a moral one

Clearly, we would be within our legal rights to refuse to help the Ferguson police unconstitutionally suppress these protests. But beyond the constitutional case, we have a moral obligation to refuse to participate.

The Ferguson police are treating this like a war. And we know that not all wars are just.

These protests have done something very important in our society: they have raised the deep issues we face of inequality, poverty, racism and police misconduct onto a national stage. It has turned public consciousness to these real problems that plague our society.

Do you really want to be part of suppressing those civilians raising all these important issues on the national stage?

Racist police brutality is a real issue in America

The autopsy of Michael Brown confirms at least five eye-witness accounts that the young man—who was not even suspected by Darren Wilson of any crime—was shot while he had his hands in the air.

Those of us in the military—especially with combat experience—knows that this flies in the face of any Rules of Engagement, and we know that it is completely ridiculous to believe that Darren Wilson feared for his life in anyway whatsoever.

Increasingly, the issue of rampant police brutality in America—most frequently by white officers against people of color, with an African American killed every 28 hours by police—is garnering more and more attention on a national and international scale.

Outrage by the community against the state's refusal to hold Darren Wilson accountable is entirely justified; the movement, led by Black youth, is a just movement.

History is unfolding, with the whole world watching. You have a decision to make on which side of history to be on.

You will make history, one way or the other

If you take part in the suppression of the protests for Michael Brown, we will be enshrined in history just as the National Guard soldiers who followed their orders to attack and repress civil rights actions, union pickets and anti-war protests. History has not looked kindly on them.

But you have the chance to make a different kind of history.

Imagine the powerful impact it would have if you abandoned your posts and marched with the protesters.

That single action could have the biggest possible effect on the crisis in Ferguson and the larger issues it represents in the entire country. It could be a major turning point in the fight against racism, inequality and police abuse.

You wouldn’t be alone. There is a whole community of service members, veterans and civilian supporters who would defend your right to do so. And now, in this critical moment, we are urging you to exercise that right.

Justice for Mike Brown! Arrest Darren Wilson!

America is a democracy, and has a Criminal Justice System which affords the due process of law to even murderers.

Whether this guy was a violent thug or not, and I agree that he seems to have been, he had his hands up - the universally recognised gesture of surrender, irrefutable proof that he was not holding a weapon of any kind, and a categorical admission that he was submissive -- willing to go quietly.

Since when, then, does a cop have the autonomy to execute a 'suspect' as he sees fit?

Where does it end? Shooting Roman Catholic priests on sight because the cop in question is an atheist? Blowing away guys with beards and long hair because the cop doing the executing has alopecia?

Why not just let cops round up everyone that frightens them or doesn't fit their brief of who should be breathing, and crack open a few canisters of the old 'Zyklon B' ?

The guy was executed - like the 12 year old kid with the toy gun in the other thread - by racist cops with their own agenda because he was black.

Witness: Michael Brown Said 'I Give Up' Before Being Shot

The fook is the police blaming social media for everything.

Lee Rigby "why didn't facebook alert us"
Mike Brown "social media played a part is sensationalizing this case"

Make your minds up. You can't just accept social media involvement when it suits you.

A giant druggie violent thug that attacked a cop is the same as a 12 yo boy with a fake gun? really?

you just lost all credibility. the cases have nothing to do with each other, unless you think all black people are the same, which would make you a racist.

Why do black people always choose such MORONS as their rallying cry? i have no more sympathy now than i ever did for Rodney King. Stop rallying around criminal thugs! that's my advice to the black community.

Picking a guy who just robbed a store and beat up the owner stole a BLUNT wrapper so he could smoke weed, and then threatened and attacked cops, wow... yes, that's what actually happened...

How the hell do you think I should have sympathy for someone like that?

**** RODNEY KING, AND **** this dumb fat idiot THUG that got killed too.

Maybe if there was an actual INNOCENT victim, you'd gain more support for your cause.

Ithinkiloveyoutoo 25-11-2014 11:13 PM

Lostalex, you are just lost, prejudice racist individual, not just based on what you think of this case but the way you are talking in general. Not surprised seeing where you are from.

If you are discrediting any witnesses testimony based on their appearance then you are an idiot.

Arguing with someone like you that probably lives in privilidged area and whose biggest problem probably is what color shorts should I wear with my new tan today, is pointless. Someone like you could never understand, so this is pointless.

BYE FELICIA! <---Yes I acted ghetto.

I never said the victims were the same - I said the motives for each victim being killed were the same - racism, because both victims were black.

I wouldn't worry about my credibility if I were you Alex, I am not blinded by any deep seated rage when I form opinions on what I read or see or hear, so when I eventually put metaphorical pen to paper, my views are the result of detached, logical analysis, and/or personal experience, and are as comprehensive and balanced as I can make them. This being so, other people may disagree with my views, or ignore them - as is often the case on here - but they can never question their credibility.

I welcome responses, but would ask that if anyone is going to respond critically to anything which I state in my posts, then please have the courtesy to have actually read and understood exactly what I have written before critiquing.

This, in particular, appears to be a flaw in your good self Alex - you seem to constantly paste angry retorts to my posts which often come across as irrational ranting because you have not correctly read and understood what I have written and become irritated by the false results of your own misconceptions.

Hardly my fault.

he was thuggish and violent. He robbed a store, and abused the staff at that store, violently. That makes him a violent thug.

oh true, and then he was tried on the spot and sentenced to death 9 minutes after the alleged robbery

..it's strange how it was all concentrated on the inconsistencies of the witnesses testimonies but there seem to be inconsistencies in Wilson's also...he seemed to have a 'clear' head in his thought processes as he described them how he thought about using mace but then decided that wouldn't maybe be effective..?...and then his flashlight..?..before coming to the conclusion that he had to draw his gun....and yet when he was firing..(repeatedly..)...and someone who was unarmed, he couldn't remember how many shots were fired, where he had aimed exactly..?...

...it's also apparently the first time that he had used his firearm...it kind of leads you to think that maybe at the very least, he completely panicked in what was genuine fear...but that in itself is surely completely unacceptable because a member of the public would be charged in a similar situation..?...he's a trained police officer..he's trained not to panic....just because he may have felt that Michael Brown was a threat to his life, doesn't mean that he was one...and if he was still having 'rational thought' like he himself describes then why wasn't that identified by him also....an aimed non lethal shot would have prevented that threat/preserved life... but 12 shots suggests panic and completely wrong for the situation he found himself in....

Ammi 26-11-2014 05:15 AM

..oh also, the anger thing and that Michael Brown looked like a 'demon' or something..?...when he described that 'look', he had just shot him, saw the blood so that 'look' would have surely been pain....my personal thoughts are that instead od waiting for some kind of back up, he went into a situation..lost control of it..became scared/panicked and shot and shot at Michael Brown until he was lifeless, so removing his fear....but that's murder though, isn't it..?...

Kizzy 26-11-2014 06:23 AM

Anyone would look like a demon if you blew the top of their head off?
That's hard to get over the fact he shot him 12 times, you would think that if acting rationally after shooting someone 6 or 7 times you would be pretty sure life was extinct...but 12?

You got it Kiz. -- When Homicide detectives come across a victim who has been stabbed repeatedly, say, 12 times, they immediately mentally categorize the motive for the murder as being 'personal' - ie; being committed by someone who knew the victim and who was acting out of 'rage' for personal reasons - especially if some of those wounds were inflicted 'post mortem'.

We do not yet know whether the cop Wilson knew Michael Brown previous to murdering him, but it is patently clear to any logical, impartial person, that the number of times he shot him would suggest either a 'knee jerk' over-reaction of panic due to sheer terror, or a contemptuous action of deliberate execution in an explosion of rage because of some twisted inner hatred.

The internet is full of 'eyewitness' accounts of what transpired - some of it conflicting - but the more weighty, more credible evidence, would suggest that Brown was clearly unarmed when first shot by Wilson, and that after being shot, he then tried to stagger away and was shot in the back, then turned to face Wilson and was then shot again. This is hardly the actions of a man who would strike terror in a trained, armed police officer, nor the 'knee jerk' panicked reaction of that officer succumbing to such terror.

No; having read all there is to currently read on the incident, and having viewed the numerous video footage, my initial conclusion - that this was a callous, unnecessary, racially motivated execution by a serving police officer, has been reinforced.

The fact that Brown was a bullying thieving thug - which some hurl into the discussion as some form of justification for Wilson's execution - has no relevance here at all. If Brown was such a thug, then he should have been arrested and charged and put into a prison cell to await the due processes of American law.

Wilson needs professional psychiatric evaluation, and his background needs exhaustive checking into by impartial investigators - but only after undergoing an independently orchestrated polygraph examination.

Leader of KKK admits to having friends in the Law enforcement and admits to talking to them off the record. What a surprise. 4:50



Ok well he paid


But that's ok conveniently forget to release this footage as well. Just release the part they have released which portrays a different narrative to what actually happened. Oh my life. And that pig going on TV saying he has a clear conscience...unbelievable.

-White Kids on social media showing guns saying Missouri i'm coming, shoot those porch monkeys down
-Another little fact the examining photographer said he didn't take pictures because his camera had died. How professional.

Missouri’s tortured history of racism: Why the inferno in Ferguson is no surprise
http://www.salon.com/2014/08/21/miss...prise_partner/

For decades the state has been a hot bed for the country's most virulent racists, from neo-Nazis to the KKK


The past week’s unfolding tragedy in Ferguson, Missouri, with its militarized and overwhelmingly white police force confronting angry and hopeless African-Americans, is not a story unique to that place or this moment. Many cities and towns in this country confront the same problems of poverty, alienation and inequality as metropolitan St. Louis — or even worse.

But beneath the familiar narrative, there is a deeper history that reflects the unfinished agenda of race relations — and the persistence of poisonous prejudice that has never been fully cleansed from the American mainstream.

For decades, Missouri has spawned or attracted many of the nation’s most virulent racists, including neo-Nazis and the remnants of the once-powerful Ku Klux Klan. Associated with violent criminality and crackpot religious extremism, these fringe groups could never wield much influence in the post-civil rights era. Beyond those marginalized outfits, however, exists another white supremacist group whose leaders have long enjoyed the patronage of right-wing Republican politicians.

The Council of Conservative Citizens, headquartered in St. Louis, is a living legacy of Southern “white resistance” to desegregation, with historical roots in the so-called citizens councils that sprang up during the 1950s as a “respectable” adjunct to the Klan. Its website currently proclaims that the CCC is “the only serious nationwide activist group that sticks up for white rights!” What that means, more specifically, is promoting hatred of blacks, Jews, gays and lesbians, and Latino immigrants while extolling the virtues of the “Southern way of life,” the Confederacy and even slavery.

The group’s website goes on to brag that the CCC is the only group promoting “white rights” whose meetings regularly feature “numerous elected officials, important authors, talk-show hosts, active pastors, and other important people” as speakers.

Although that boast may be exaggerated, it isn’t hollow. Founded in 1985 by the ax handle-wielding Georgia segregationist Lester Maddox and a group of white activists, the CCC remained obscure to most Americans until 1998, when media exposure of its ties to prominent congressional Republicans led to the resignation of Sen. Trent Lott of Mississippi as majority leader. Six years later, the Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit group monitoring racist activity in the United States, reported that the CCC had hosted as many as 38 federal, state and local officials at its meetings (all of them Republicans, except one Democrat) — despite a warning from the Republican National Committee against associating with the hate group.

Over the years, the CCC’s friends in high places included such figures as former Sen. John Ashcroft of Missouri, who shared much of the CCC agenda as governor, when he opposed “forced desegregation” of St. Louis schools — along with the CCC members who served on the city’s school board. When President George W. Bush appointed Ashcroft as U.S. attorney general, the CCC openly celebrated, declaring in its newsletter, “Our Ship Has Come In.”

Recently, far fewer Republican officials have been willing to associate in public with the CCC’s racist leaders. Then again, however, Ashcroft himself tended to meet secretly with those same bigots while outwardly shunning them. When asked about his connections with the group during his confirmation hearings in 2001, he swore that he had no inkling of its racist and anti-Semitic propaganda — a very implausible excuse, given the CCC’s prominence in St. Louis while he served as governor.

Despite the CCC’s presence, Missouri is home to many fine and decent people, of course — but malignant traces of the group and the racial animus it represents have spread far beyond the state’s borders. The most obvious example is Rush Limbaugh, the “conservative” cultural phenomenon who grew up south of St. Louis — in Cape Girardeau, Missouri — and who has earned a reputation as a racial agitator over many years on talk radio, where he began by doing mocking bits in “black” dialect.

In 1998, the talk jock defended Lott when other conservatives were demanding his resignation over the politician’s CCC connection. Today Limbaugh echoes the CCC line on the Michael Brown killing in Ferguson, which suggests coldly that the unarmed teenager deserved his fate because he may have been a suspect in shoplifting or smoked marijuana. Why would a young man’s life be worth less than a box of cigars? Back in Rush’s home state, the answer is all too obvious.

Absolutely Ammi -- such a self proclaimed sequence of thought processes are hardly supportive of "unavoidable action" due to a "state of panic" or "fear for life" are they?

Rule the panic driven knee-jerk reaction theory out, and we are left with only one conclusion - deliberate execution of an unarmed man by a serving police officer for his own personal motives.

It is then, only the motives themselves which need theorising and speculating upon.

Did the Officer Wilson detest people with the name Brown? Did he detest thieves? Did he lose his temper because - according to some eyewitnesses he attempted to open his 'prowler' car door but couldn't because he initially drew up too close to Brown and Johnson? Did Brown and Wilson struggle through the open window of the prowler? Did Wilson's gun go off accidentally during such a struggle?

All the above is totally irrelevant in addressing the $64,000 question of whether Wilson shot Brown legitimately 'in the line of duty'? or executed him unnecessarily for personal reasons.

The facts are irrefutable;

Brown was unharmed, debilitated and wounded by Wilson's first shot, so every additional shot was both unnecessary and of murderous intent.

There is absolutely no mitigation for the other shots - be they an additional 5 or an additional 11.

This was murder. Nothing less, and only the motive remains to be ascertained. I know - given the facts as we have them - what my conclusion is.

Yes Kizzy, but I'm going by the greater weight of testimony from what I deem the more credible of actual 'eyewitnesses' rather than those highly suspect 'Johnny Come Lately's whose 'testimony' I believe is deeply suspect and rather a convenient 'Deux Ex Machina' as far as the sanitized police version of events are concerned.
