People's point is the cop never would have fucked with a white guy and told him to get out of the street. Leaving aside the possibility the cop fucked with him due to the store thing.

Is this not the rule in Chicago? Probably harder in burbs. I can't see the police of Lake Forest like places owning a home there.

I was just acknowledging the presence of such self anointed renaissance men. That's all.

Nas confirmed it is in Chicago, and you are right about the 'burbs - at least in the ones I grew up (Highland Park, Deerfield) many of the cops live farther north (Canada).

Watching white people set up shots for live reports, actively deciding whether to use either flashing police lights or a congregation of colored folks as a background is some of the most thoroughly amusing footage I've seen in a long time.

After several days of watching protestors chant and whatnot, I'm particularly struck by the real lack of rhythmic variety and intricacy in the drumming and chanting, given the demographic of said protestors.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

The Clerks-like "We're Open" sign in the background of one of the streamers has been a source of amusement a few days now.

I've never confused flashing lights with people.

I find the "he tried to take the cops gun" very unbelievable. Just doesn't make sense, IMO


Is it possible the cop grabbed the kid by the arm to stop him from running and they struggled til the d ripped away and ran?

Id ask that of his buddy who was standing right there who saw him get shot in the back. Seems to be pretty reliable.

Conservative sites have been saying for the past 24 hours that more than 12 witnesses are corroborating Officer Wilson's version of events and that he has facial fractures. No one else seems to be reporting this.

A guy the size of a mid-card professional wrestler squeezed into the window of a four-door sedan to reach for a cop's gun ... failed ... ran away ... then turned around and decided to play 'Pamplona' with the officer, who at that time decided to pull the weapon and unload into the fella.

I have a hard time understanding why anyone would question the veracity of this description of events particularly since it's partially corroborated by some broad the officer is banging on the side.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

I think the police tend to be the bad guys anyway.

You do realize they both were running away? He didn't really have a great view of where he may have been hit. According to medical examiner one of the shots to the arm could have come when he was running away.

This was just a rule in Milwaukee for I know teachers and cops, and I am sure other jobs. It just changed last year.

Yikes! Badrogue17 a young black kid was killed in Missouri today by 2 white cops. Guess what happened? Most of the black witnesses agreed with the white cops. I'm really not sure what the overall point you are making is but I would love to get a better understanding of your thoughts.

They said the black protesters were "angrily chanting" and "taunting" the cops because they were saying "Hands up! Don't shoot! ". The New Black Panthers have maybe 4 members but they bring them up every day.

These types of situations always play out the same way. 1. There is the outrage. 2. Civil rights leader grandstanding. 3. False equivocation from defenders of the perpetrator 4. The inevitable call for calm. 5 Discussion and Analysis from the conservative and liberal media. 6. The return to "normalcy".
This is social injustice 101. This appears to be an injustice but there are far other injustices inflicted upon African Americans. I'm not trying to minimize this but the underlying conditions which allow for this to happen are of greater concern. There are a certain sector of Americans that argue that racism doesn't exist or even if they allow for racism will go out of their way to always disprove individual instances of Racism. That's the Fox News approach. To a man they will admit there is racism in the U.S but they never quite know when it occurs. Even when presented with facts that are irrefutable, they'll dissent. The underlying conditions have to change if this is going to be eradicated.

White people. Protesting the right was since 1776.

Apples and Oranges. To compare a law abiding citizen, who never was violent and then had his cattle taken from him over grazing rights, to a thug who robbed a store, while physically assaulting the store owner, before striking a Police Officer and trying to wrest his service weapon from him....... is a stretch Hawk Harrelson can't even imagine.

Bottom line- Store owners, Police officers and society in general, is better off the punk is dead. One look at that store video is all you need. That kid was never going to be a contributing member of society.

I like how you state the officer's version as fact.

Like a judge, I tend to believe the more credible witnesses.
