Ferguson, MO

That's why its national news

Is it? Because I feel like they're barely covering that part here.

The actions of the police against the protestors and against the media and citizens make this important and newsworthy. I was disturbed by the scenes coming out of there. The police are at war with the citizens. It's civil war.

and it's nice to have the president comment on something here at home.

African Americans deeply care about this. We shouldn't be telling them what to care about or that their issues aren't important enough to get some press.

What makes you think the shooting had anything to do with race?

It's insane what people will pretend to give a fuck about in order to not be seen as racist.

Thug robbed a store, thug punched a cop, thug got fuckin shot.


Next.

I'm not sure that it does. I didn't care about until I saw what the police were doing to the people there.

As the story began to develop further into race I got annoyed by white people that are easily manipulated by the media and take the white person's side by default and call the black kid thug just like they want. It's always like that. Like we all just haven't evolved enough.

manipulated by the media? The media fucking loves this shit, they want you to believe this is all racial. They want everyone talking and rioting and shit, it gets them ratings.

An adult criminal attacked a cop, and got blasted for it. We call that 'tuesday' in Houston, Detroit, Chicago etc etc

I don't know what they're covering on tv I just get stuff from twitter

the police made this about race with the releasing of certain info to the media

probably to detract from the shitty job they're doing

so everyone can bicker over if the kid was a thug and not how and why and when the police became soldiers and saw us as the enemy

He had no criminal record.

When the story first broke I was completely on the citizens' side but was annoyed by black people that assumed it was racially motivated. The early stories made it look like the cop was at fault but showed nothing racial. Both sides, black and white, are just as bad at not being able to put race aside and look at the situation objectively.

St. Louis isn't any different from any of those cities.

how and why and when the police became soldiers and saw us as the enemy

right about the time mobs of assholes started burning down their own fuckin neighborhood and looting local businesses.

''oh we want justice and respect, so let's fuck all kinds of shit up, burn everything down, rob everyone, and fight the police. Maybe they'll treat us like people if we act like animals''
