Looting random people is not protesting.
Destruction of random property is not protesting.
People that do these things are not protestors.
Vaguely-defined oppression is not a justification to hurt innocent people.
Behaving like an animal will not convince people to not treat you like one.
You need to ask more questions about why certain events are national news, and others aren't.
You need to ask why the verdict was given on a Monday at night.
You need to be more aware of the narrative that's being manufactured.

Best loot cave 2014

Black dudes wildin out is a normal day is chiraq lol

Honestly I think the people trying to forge statements hurt the prosecutors chances. I haven't read what evidence they released, but having tons of false witnesses makes your side look bad.

There are a lot of pictures that describe the situation way better than that one.

I saw a picture of a KFC and it said "Only business that wasn't burnt down in Ferguson" lmao

I think everyone rioting should be shot. yorkie

Why are people such idiots when it comes to sensitive topics like this one? Newsflash: You don't always have to pick one side over the other. These issues are never black and white (Pardon the pun). Do I think that the police officer deserved to be convicted? No. Too many conflicting testimonials. Doesn't mean some can't disagree. Do I think that this is part of a wider issue over how black people in general are treated by the police force? Absolutely. You can't possibly say that people in poor and predominantly black neighbourhoods don't have a right to be angry to be angry with them. Do all the people protesting over this issue agree with rioting and destroying local businesses? Obviously not Are there people in society who take advantage of a volatile situation just so they can get some free stuff? Clearly, many of the people rioting probably don't give 2 shits about Michel Brown.

This whole thing is so stupid if a black cop shot a white man we whites wouldn't be protesting
-
Protesters =/ opportunists. You are conflating two groups that could not be more different. The difference between them is interestingly paramount to the discussion about police behavior and how we need to train our officers.

Edited by AnAverageGamer: 11/27/2014 10:32:08 PMAs many others are saying, a lot of the people who looted were outsiders who came there to stir the pot and take advantage of the situation. [url=http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/25/us/ferguson-restaurant-vandalism/]Local residents actually acted to save their town in some instances[/url]. Nobody talks about that though.

The whole ordeal in Ferguson is a mess. My personal opinions on the case aside, the protest has spun out of control since the first week. How can they possibly riot for what, two months now? How long does it take to destroy a city?
-
People need to get over it. There was NEVER enough evidence to convict him of murder, and there never will be. Rioting like a bunch of retards won't change that, and just makes them look like fools to anyone with half a brain.
-
A lot of these people aren't protestors, they're opportunists.

Whatever gets me more bags of chips, man.

Thugs will be thugs

Savages will be savages.

Edited by Yelux: 11/27/2014 12:47:53 PMI actually live in the area, lets just say people are morons. More around here than i'd like to admit. But people are of course always going to overreact, and retards are always going to prevail with their broken senses of what racism is because of how touchy the topic is. Ugh. Then again, there's also the opportunistic ones that are just looting that don't even know what the -blam!- is going on. Theres that too.
-
I'm not sure what the rioting is about, the cops shoot aggressive threats all the time.
-
Great post. Ask more questions people. The government and media never seem to have the majority's best interests at heart. Why?
-
All I can think of is 4chan.

That's why I keep a Beretta on my glove compartment :)

Those aren't the protesters, those are thieves looking to take advantage of the chaos caused by cops responding to the protesters. The thieves in this case are assholes, that much is obvious, but they're also not everyone involved. The only way you could call this the "only picture you need to see from Ferguson" is if you already believed that the only thing going on there was looting. Think what you want about Brown, but excessive force is excessive force. No one [b]needed[/b] to die, but unfortunately we don't live in a world where people observe that belief. No, we live in a world where a person was shot six times for a rather trivial crime, rather than simply being arrested. Where peaceful protests were broken up by officers armed with military-grade weapons. Where some saw fit to destroy buildings and hurt other people in the chaos. Michael Brown Jr's story is over, he's dead, his body committed to the earth, his soul left to the void. But his death served as the beginning of several, even more tragic story. We can only hope that order can arise from the chaotic aftermath.

Lol Michael brown and all his supporters are idiots
