Amazing that you can tell that without knowing what my story was and where I came from. But, you and the majority of the black community can continue to assume that there climb to success is almost impossible to the point where it deters them from even trying.

I am not assuming anything. I know.

Did you supervisor ever said, "Why do you work so harder than the rest"

or

"Blacks like you don't work like that"

or

"I can't lay you off because your metrics higher than the others"

I am like why am I not graded the same way like my white counterparts. I want to be even. Meaning, I can loaf, show up late, do half the work and what not and not risk of being fired, but if I were black, we are the first to go.

Like I said, you aren't black and you do not have to live by a certain set of rules like we, in life in general or at work. I earned this. The person I replaced was horrible, everyone hated her and she lacked the skills, but yet they kept her for some stupid reason that would got me fired within days and cleaning up her schit was not fun but I did it.

Yes, I am a badass in what I do and the only person that can do my job overall job. I don't fear whitey, I fear Indian/Pakistani/Costa Rican coming in asking for less money to do my my job.

As horrible as that was, they came to the US like mine - willingly. Correct me if I'm wrong here but, the Nazi's had little tolerance for dark skinned people also??

They still do. Some are on this board. Quick to judge. I mean I am okay with Thethe, GF and KRG, but their quick judgment souedr me. Hell, I am black and I didn't label the cop being wrong right off the bat. I said many times, you have three scenarios but main witnesses and what not, lot of distortions, but since the cop was white and the perp black, they AUTOMATICALLY ASSUMED the deceased was guilty. This is what I am saying about blacks already guilty before proven innocent. It is inbred in white culture that we are always criminals. I've been jacked by the cops and I was totally innocent, but being an asshole I am I made them fvcking apologize for that mentality. I know cops lie, my cousin, my wife cousin, my gramps lie all the time to better their position. I don't blame people questioning some of their methods. But I will not lay blame on either side until all details come in unlike some of you.
 
Wait, who was quick to judge? The people looting/rioting the streets and those defending them or the people that said what for the facts, the cop could have used self defense?
 
Yeah, I don't see how some of us can be quick to judge when we said lets wait for the facts to come out. I never made a quick judgement and I still haven't made one.

I care less about the looters or protesters or the police. I only care about what happened.

Your language suggest otherwise. You know me. We've known each other for years and I am going off on you, you know you said one word too much in the assumption department for even me standing up to you and your posts.
 
Obama is about to give a speech and I hope he says something about the looters. The streets have turned from a protest into chaos.

They all should be arrested if they threw or shot anything.

In saying that, this is not the main issue. I want to know what happened. We have a dead individual shrouded in mystery, things like stores, buildings, material things is something that won't bring this individual back but can be replaced.
 
Well, that was certainly not one of Obama's more inspiring commentaries. Come on y'all, let's focus on listening ... not hollering.

That's true but peoples lives who worked and owned the shops livelihoods are ruined. You can't undermine that like it's no big deal. It might not be to you, but I care about that. This actually feeds into some stereotypes whites have about a small percentage of the black population, I hope you see that? Nothing good is coming out of this chaos.

If the kid did attack the cop he got what he asked for. That's how I feel about that. If you play with fire, you can get burned
 
for the most part a pretty pussy news conference from Obama

but hey, the self proclaimed racist here should be happy

he called out the looters multiple times and said black people do commit crimes

How many places looted and if they aren't insured, that is on them, but the police should be footing some of the bill.

You can't just arrest people just to arrest them.
 
The Pros And Cons Of Militarizing The Police

The ongoing clashes between residents of Ferguson, MO and heavily armed police forces—which are equipped with M16 rifles and armored vehicles—have drawn attention to the increasing militarization of police in the United States. Here are the cases for and against outfitting local law enforcement with military-grade weapons:

PROS

Same tactics used successfully in Afghanistan, Iraq

Modern law enforcement simply cannot do their job properly by relying on handguns, tasers, and tear gas alone

A real shot in arm for nation’s ailing weapons industry

Look on driver’s face when tank pulls up beside Mini Cooper always fun

Local photojournalists now able to capture fog of war at home

Nice surprise treat for veterans to see weapons they used in war pop up on their hometown streets

Never a bad idea to put a more powerful gun in someone’s hand

Actually going to seem pretty quaint when compared with police armaments 20 years from now

CONS

Most police officers have proven fully capable of violently subduing protesters without any military-grade weapons

It actually very hard to recite Miranda rights while holding 40-pound grenade launcher

There no longer any middle ground between community watch and military

Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles only get 5 miles per gallon

Jesus, just look at this ****

Military-style helmets limit peripheral vision while firing indiscriminately into crowd

Could potentially be abused if put in lesser hands than America’s historically honest and virtuous police departments

Takes away that personal touch of beating a suspect to death with bare hands
