Disregarding Butan's inability to read for a while and getting back on the subject:

I wonder why the police didn't come right out and say it from the beginning...probably would have been a lot less rioting looting and protesting

LOL -- yeah right. That's not how black people from the 'hood do things. They won't be deterred by mere facts.

I dont automatically believe that the shooting is related to race, so why speak about races at all, artificially creating two groups of black people, the elite and the gangsters? Its not that simple, your speech is way too black and white.

People were speaking about broken window being violent, and you deem a system that mechanically put benefits of a minority above the people's livelihood as most peaceful and tolerant system?
You dont agree with billwitt, ok, but your comparison sucked tits.


Holy shit, I'm the one making this about race? The media immediately latched on to this story and tried to turn this fucking thug into a racial martyr. I agree, race should be completely irrelevant, a moron punched a cop in the face, probably because he was jumpy having just casually robbed ciggars for blunts from a drugstore, and got shot for his stupidity. Prime darwin award material. It's a non-event magnified and amplified a thousandfold.
I'm more interested in the riots, looting, protests and media response, and the reasons behind them. Do you know how many times the story has changed already before the investigation has even concluded? Those goal-posts will never stop moving until they land squarely on "racist white cop shoots innocent black man", no other conclusion is acceptable.

And now he can't play because of "common sense" and he doesn't understand how this common sense works

Just wait. What's happening now is nothing compared to what will happen when the cop gets cleared.

Just read about another killing in St. Louis, a cop gunned down a black 23 year old who threatened him with a knife?

What's this about?
And now he can't play because of "common sense" and he doesn't understand how this common sense works

Even if you punch a cop in the face after a robbery you shouldn't get shot to death by the police. That's not an appropriate response at all. I'm not sure racism is fundamentally what guided the policeman to kill, but it seems likely that if the guy had been white he would be arrested and not dead.
