What if the insurance money isn't enough to rebuild his store? What if everyone's insurance rates go higher because of this an they have to jack up prices?

    Whether you believe that or not is fine. But to throw 'murder' around when you have no clue what happened is wrong.
    But they are saying that is what happened in the case in Cali. I have not heard what you have stated in this case here. (There is just too many cases going on with police officers murdering black men). If the police officer was defending himself fairly then I have no problem with that. But until then It is murder. I want the police officers name, his arrest, and I want better police interaction with the protesters and reporters.


    This young man was unarmed. You are telling me that police officers can't successfully take down a unarmed man. They are trained for this. My mom arrested young men with Uzis!!!
    I just don't believe he was reaching for the officers gun.

    It is wrong that the business was destroyed but it is not a life. A young man is dead end of story.

    So its murder until proven innocent? That sounds like a big problem.

    Anyone want to go to Salt Lake City and riot? I need a new TV and can probably get some Jordans out of the deal.

    Yes there is a big problem when police officers don't know how to take down a unarmed man without killing him.

    Better trained police officers who aren't fearful of blacks or trying to be cowboys.

    Unfortunately, they are:

    But here is something that makes no sense, that is inarguable: Ferguson (population: 21,135) has about 40 robberies per year, a couple of homicides, almost no arson cases and a crime rate only a bit higher than the national average. Indeed, the town’s crime rate was going down as of two years ago, when the last major data is available. Ditto in neighboring St Louis.

    Now St Louis isn’t exactly the picture of safety, but two years ago the St Louis Police Department also acquired a Lenco BearCat armored military vehicle, a “tactical support vehicle” and a helicopter that’s popular with the Korean air force. Earlier this year, the US Department of Homeland Security donated a 22-ton Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle – the thing we used on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan – to the police department in nearby St Charles, Missouri (population: 66,463).

    Police officers shouldn't have to take down unarmed people. How about cooperating with police instead of ignoring them or running away? How many people that cooperate with police are killed everyday? When you don't cooperate, it puts everyone in a difficult situation.

    Those poor white people and Mexicans don't get any love for being shot by cops?

    I don't agree on your stance or argument with NJC, but this nails it about Sharpton. He does not have a good batting average when being a mouth piece and I am glad another black man said this so with a good dig at him on top. Even though I've been saying for the last 12 years on this board and on Scout, finally some recognizable people are seeing the same thing.

    Glory whore is what he is.

    Rioting and peaceful protesting are two completely different things. I saw pictures of people kicking moving police cars and looting. That type of activity should be disbanded.

    Welcome to a black man's world.

    If you are rich, like OJ, you can get off, but us regular Jabronis we are guilty until proven innocent.

    We know...there is a separate justice system for whites, rich blacks, and no justice system for average African Americans. That's what I have learned my 30 years on this earth.

    Blacks, we have a different justice system, we are guilty and have to prove a lot to be innocent without a reasonable doubt, no hanging chads (analogy), or botch investigations, they would get thrown out. So when a jury sees a black man, he is guilty guilty guilty.......unless you are rich, like OJ and others who can "pay" people off.


    And plea bargains? LMAO!!!!!!
