I can't seem to wrap my head around Furguson

I'm watching an entire parking lot get set on fire on car at a time.  And there isn't a police or fireman anywhere to be seen.  Overcompensating a bit!?

Agree, I don't understand any of it. The outrage, the looting, the fires the protests. What is setting a town on fire supposed to accomplish? Is it emotional meltdown and complete erosion of all respect for others? Is it supposed to be making a point? Are they just thugs stealing and looting for fun?

The Brown family said, "they are disappointed the killer of their son will not face the consequences".... I get grief. I understand they lost their son.... but what consequences should a police officer face in a justified shooting of their son that committed a strong arm robbery and then beat the officer in his car? I'm completely lost on that one.

The rioters... thugs behaving as thugs. 

Now the Brown family did say they want body cams on all police.... that one has been around, and that one is coming soon. I also agree with it. Dash cams have been very helpful is 1) getting convictions of criminals, and 2) showing police misconduct.

In this case... it would have shown Brown beating the officer in his car, then charging him after a short chase. Body cams work both ways, and I agree they should be used for both cases.

I don't want to say I blame the media, but there are police shootings every single week across America but for some reason this one was brought to the forefront.  The media and politicians latched onto it for some reason.

Perhaps, it was the reports that he was standing with his hands up in the air and "executed" that made it sensational enough to hit the headlines, but as the evidence came out we all discovered that it wasn't the case at all.

Due to the media frenzy all the race hustlers are front and center with the thug followers and the rest is history.

Stay safe down there LB.  If you need me to get things back in order just let me know and I'll head on down.  

Like the media latched onto the continued shootings that happen/happened in Chicago each week that had been going on for years before they started reporting on it and will continue to go on after they reported on it that essentially made it look like if you stepped out of your door anywhere near Chicago you might potentially die but that couldn't possibly be happening in essentially every single other major metropolitan city in the nation?  That media and politician coverage?  

/post derailment rant off.

blame the media all you want but you tuned in and followed it.  if not for that the story would have been dropped. 

I think I first learned about the story here on BT.  lol
I get your point though, people tune in and watch so the media is going to do what they do.

My job is never boring.

So you got any inside rumors about how exciting tonight will be? Stay safe.

I caught this picture of LB walking out to his car on the way to lunch today.  

He'll probably get the Presidential Medal of Freedom 

If you look at the facts of the case, it's most certainly not an execution.  If you attack the police, they have every right to defend themselves.  If somebody attacks you or I, we have the legal right to defend ourselves with whatever means necessary as well.

I can be critical of the police in many instances, but I will always defend their right to go home to their family at night.

It would be hard for any rational person to come to the conclusion that he was executed based on the evidence:
