Riots and Racists and Looting...OH MY!!!
"It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

"Scenes in "Empire Strikes Back" that take place on the tundra planet Hoth were shot on the present-day site of Ralph Engelstad Arena."

Of course I'm a fan of the Vikings. A sick and demented Masochist of a fan, but a fan none the less.

Well, Ferguson PD needs to get rid of the Sig Sauer P229s. Terrible sidearm in my opinion (too heavy and long of a trigger).
Dash camera would've been useless as most of the action seemed to happen out of the field of view of the front of the car.
A body camera might have made a difference ... like in Salt Lake City. Oh, you've never heard of that one ...
Maybe the shop owner that got robbed by the gentle giant should have better security. (Blame victim.)Last edited by The Sicatoka; 11-28-2014, 12:56 PM.The preceding post may contain trigger words and is not safe-space approved. <-- Virtue signaling.

Let me put it another way: let's say we both personally feel like there are no racial issues left in America. What do we do when a really large number of black people hear that and say, "you have no idea"? Ignore them? Explain patiently to them that we really know better about their situation than they do?Cornell University

Re: Riots and Racists and Looting...OH MY!!!
"Fixing" race in America is fallacy writ as large as "fixing" the Middle East.
It cannot and will not be done because too many folks are benefiting from it.
The "struggle of the _____" has become cottage industry worldwide.The preceding post may contain trigger words and is not safe-space approved. <-- Virtue signaling.

Also: every social movement faces people who make money off the status quo. That doesn't discredit the movement (in fact, quite the opposite), and it doesn't seem to ever stop it.
I can think of at least one thing that ought to come of this: people in minority communities should go out and vote. If they don't feel their representatives represent them, change them.Last edited by Kepler; 11-28-2014, 01:24 PM.Cornell University

Never mind.
For non cops, they only present the information that supports the indictment. They sure as hell don't present pro defendent information.

Body cams for cops do wonders though. They decrease both use of force and citizen complaints by about 80% each.*
* presuming they work. It's amazing how some officers and departments seem to have far more tech problems than others.Last edited by unofan; 11-28-2014, 01:47 PM.
