[Luxor]

Anyone watching this?

Protesters refuse the curfew and its a showdown with the coppers.

Tear gas or smoke bombs just fired!!!!

[edmhunter]

Just turned it on, they really should get their police under control and stop killing colored folks!

[norwestalta]

I don't understand what is gained by any of this?

Its called racism. When a black officer shoots an unarmed white individual, no one bats an eye, yet the result is the same, a life is lost.

There is bound to be more to the story.
Law abiding citizens usually don't get into a scrap with the cops and get killed in the process.

Yes you are correct.
Just stunned me the 1st time I read it.

Anyone know how long this curfew is supposed to last.
Looks like its going to be a nightly affair for a bit.

Supposed to last for 1 week.

It was truly amazing to here Wolf Blitzer on CNN screaming for the police and national guard last night when the looting was happening.

They have lost the racism narrative on this one. Majority black police force, majority black city council and black mayor.

Yes, I remember when that ^ happened ... it was 1962. Seems like it was just yesterday.

The sooner they get all those *&^%$# black police officers under control, the better!

I think the media and the likes of BO, Eric Holder, Jesse Jackson and reverend Sharpton have done more damage to race relations in the USA in the last 6 years than the KKK has done in it's entire existence.

I could not agree more as for Sharpton, he is the biggest two faced BIGOT of all! Whenever he pops up on TV I run to the remote to switch channels!

Actually on average twice as many Whites are killed by police then Blacks. You would never now that if all you watch is the dinosaur media.

I have to agree with this.

Wouldn't surprise me but probably the dead Caucasians deserved to be shot. The black ones are obviously angels. Sarcasm implied.

[roper1]

I am just not so sure, the Ferguson police chief resigned, city staff resigned or dismissed, small % black officers. Holder holds higher office & found racial inequality in policing delivered, apparently Baltimore's force has a different make-up

While I think there was definitely some very twisted and shady corrupt action by the police in this killing (yes I know the full story hasn't been "confirmed" or sugar coated for pubic consumption yet). I do believe overall this is the result of years of media culturing, the uprising that is, and its going to be very difficult to reverse such a trend/ mentality.

[Luxor]

I wonder if only black cops should be allowed to enforce black neighbourhoods?
It would eliminate the race card.

Kind of like only women cops can frisk a woman nowadays.
It eliminated the sexual assault card.

That's ^ cuz far too many White folks keep getting in the line of fire ... Black folks know better.

When will they ever learn?!

The incident I'm thinking of happened just a few months ago. The media even went as far as calling the officer "not white".

Why can't the cops be respectful of the citizens and the citizens be respectful of the law? I believe it's going to get worse before better.

Didn't anyone teach you not to answer a question with a question? lol jokn

But to answer your ????......Because that's just not what's happening so something needs to be done soon.

Every one of these cases start with resisting arrest.
