The reason i wait to hear facts before i judge.....or decide to burn my own city down and loot.

Now I see some people looted the store where the kid was first seen.

Some of the protesters tried to stop them though.

Seems like its a pretty divided community.

Been called or alluded to being a racist a dozen times since this crap all started. Because I didnt IMMEDIATELY want to burn the cop at the stake. Because I said race may not have been a factor. Because I denounced the looting.

How does any of that shit make me a racist.

So, half the population is screaming police overreacted and incited this riotous behavior with heavy handed tactics, and here are store owners saying cops never responded.

Anyone else feel like we're all being played.

this is the cop who did the shooting. Anyone think this guy just doesnt ftit he over aggressive mold you would expect if they were just crossing the street minding their own business? I really hope his cruiser had the dash cam running because they are going to need to release it in order to clear this guy and not have the entire city burn. I just dont picture this guy as aggressive at anything other than a science fair.

I guess so, and I'm sure there's a reason he reacted the way he did. But to your point about him looking like he wouldn't be aggressive, there's several members on this board that if you saw their picture, you would think the same, but they're the same people who have an arsenal in their house. Just food for thought, can't really judge a book by it's cover.

inb4 owning guns does not a criminal make.

I own more guns than almost everyone here. It doesnt make me aggressive in the slightest. I was an asshole long before I bought guns I carry a gun almost everywhere I legally can. If anything it makes me much less likely to enter into confrontation. I dont think that factors in here. I think that by owning guns its made me much less likely to be an asshole in all reality.

Here is a picture of this guy. Just like with the Travon Martin case. The media is showing him as a young innocent kid, but dig deep on the net and you'll find out how he really is.
