Am I the only person watching the crazy people rioting in Ferguson?

Atleast the protestors in LA aren't causing riots like in 1992. Before anyone goes negative I was two years old when the LA Riots happen.

Wrong. You're seeing a community come together and grieve over the loss of a son, a friend, a student, a HUMAN BEING. To say they don't care about Mike is a slap to the face. Those police officers should be fearful. The law serves us, not the other way around. The police are not trained members of the army and are abusing their power.

Witness testimonies were inconsistent? Uh no... just no.. they line up pretty well.

This is not an "unnecessary shitstorm." People are suffering, this country is a tragic mess. They are bringing about change. Protests were peaceful for a long time, and the few people that decided to riot do not represent the vast majority.  Like seriously if you're more worried about rioting instead of the horrendous acts committed by the police, uncalled for death of a teen, and the systematic racism that is so heavily present in America, you really need to get your priorities in check. You can rebuild a store, but you can never bring back this poor boy's life.

 

sigh

They did not succumb to stereotypes, that's just you being racist. You have no idea how hard it is for a black person (or any person who isn't white) to try and get their voice heard in a country supporting white privilege, unless you yourself are a person of color. Like I said before, the few who resorted to violence do not represent the majority. The police and government are not here to help, get it through your head that they are not on our side. What's going on now will cause change. This isn't the first time an unarmed black kid was murdered. And guess what, cops don't give a shit, they've done nothing to prevent this. THATS WHY IT KEEPS HAPPENING.

as much as you think you know, you have a tremendous amount of info wrong, witness statements WERE inconsistent, the evidence supports the cops story, and I know that the majority weren't the rioters, the good people either left when the problems started or were dumb enough to stay around, which doesn't make them bad, just kinda dumb, because they could have gotten hurt, robbed, arrested, and they did get tear gassed, and if you think the rioting helped in any way, then you have no idea what you're talking about, responding to violence from a cop or anyone, with violence on regular people and/or cops, causes much much more problems then it solves, every single time, the money the city, police, and locals will have to spend to fix all the shit the rioters did, could have done something for the better, and me saying that some people succumbed to stereotypes is not being racist, its observation dude, I believe in equal rights for all races, men and women, and all sexual orientations, nobody is better then anybody else simply because of things we are born with, and fyi, people of every race and sex have gotten killed by cops, and most of the time it's the person who gets shot fault, because they did something wrong, like attack a cop, sometimes it's a crazy cop who never should have been a cop, and it's obvious that the government aren't on our side, most cops aren't either, but some cops are good, and the rioters attacked all the cops, they didn't think that some of the cops are just trying to support their families, and be a honest upholder of the law, the riots hurt, and they did not and will not help

Stop being rude.

I didn't attack you, and you clearly aren't paying attention, since all the news outlets that are actually going through all the evidence are saying the cop was telling the truth and the evidence supports it, and the Grand Jury, who are the only people who saw every piece of evidence, didn't think he should even by put on trial for ANY crime at all, so the evidence proves you quite wrong

 

 

I know that, I said THE RIOTERS are crazy, not the peaceful protesters

 

Yeah you were trying to attack me and you need to stop.

If you believe all of that because they said so then you are the only one being misleaded. Besides, there are a shitload of contradictions to what you just said by the news and such. They didn't have enough evidence to prove he is guilty, meaning they couldn't find any. Not that there were a lot of evidence supporting him, there was just lack of evidence. Its much more harder to get a cop in jail than it is to get a civilian in jail, which is another reason why people are upset since he obviously killed the boy and they didn't charge him for that.  

You are severely misinformed though and are in no position to be telling people they are wrong. 

At this point I'm really not in the mood to be debating about this right now, so idk say whatever helps you sleep at night I guess.

There was nothing wrong with it to begin with.

Ok because I know I was two years old when the LA Riots happen.
