Too funny. Not me. I have a lot of traveling and things to do yet. I spent too many years broke and taking care of kids. It's my turn to enjoy life. Or it will be someday.

i have a question:
what if someone associated with a police force helped start a riot during a peaceful protest? would that not result in the violent backlash of the police against the protestors to be considered a "just response"?

Helped? What if it is police who are rioting? that is kind of the same question- but not exactly. what i am asking is this: i was asking that IF a few "rogue" officers started a riot, could the police END it, and call it "justified"?

Interesting mental exercise but, of course, nothing like that would ever actually happen.

A Chicago police car patrolling the area of a Chicago protest march was caught blaring the song "Sweet home Alabama", to the chagrin of protestors. The union stated, it might have been an officer who was just celebrating the success of the University of Alabama football team. Ya think?

Did the union have anything else to say about playing any type of music while on-duty in the patrol car instead of listening to police dispatch? Maybe the officer should wear ear buds to listen to his music while patroling protest marches.

I first thought to myself, "What is wrong with playing music.". And then, a nanosecond later, it dawned on me the officer in the patrol car should not be playing any music at all. A 'Doh!' moment.

Federal autopsy has been released. No really new info found. Pretty much matched the county examination. Holder has to be emotionally depressed.

Because we all know it was political grandstanding on his part in announcing the federal autopsy. After all, he has been profiled several times while being a successful black man. Yeh, right

if you say so. i didn't actually hear much about him or see anything from him during this. i was more interested in the tear gassing of citizens and the APC's rolling the streets of Ferguson as if it were Cairo.

And neither you or I have the information to determine whether or not Wilson fucked up. Common sense tells me regardless of a criminal case these incidents will help prevent incidents in the future.

But if you want here is some pretty hard evidence supporting the police- and I tend to agree:
www.fox10phoenix.com/Clip/11014328/activist-critical-of-police-undergoes-use-of-force-scenarios#.VK4Ue2JL7Hk.facebook
It is a tough balance- on the one hand you want to make it clear that you obey the orders of police regardless, and on the other they bust into a house at 4AM guns drawn because someone had some weed or even worse they have the wrong address.
I am 100% against no-knock warrants and I support the idea of being able to shoot anyone that enters my home in the middle of the night- my fucking castle period.

If 'BLACK LIVES MATTER' why are blacks shooting so many blacks? Seriously? Probably for the same reasons whites shoot so many whites. Not all blacks in the USA are shooting at each other.
