The police are inciting violence from non-violent protestors and letting the KKK demons run amuck. freshwest Nov 2014 #30
There are two competing pronunciations here loyalsister Nov 2014 #87
The police have been violent while the protestors have been peaceful. ZombieHorde Nov 2014 #37
the owner of quick trip might disagree. it wasnt the police who burned his building Travis_0004 Nov 2014 #69
That is a different use of the word violent. ZombieHorde Nov 2014 #102
So the destruction of businesses since they are "inanimate objects" is a peaceful protest? tritsofme Nov 2014 #115
I wouldn't call that peaceful or violent. ZombieHorde Nov 2014 #145
I consider looting at burning down buildings to be violent. Travis_0004 Nov 2014 #119

You didn't notice how he only listed violence by Ferguson protesters? SunSeeker Nov 2014 #58
actually he said a number of times that Americans have a right to peacefully protest hfojvt Nov 2014 #97
That is very different from saying the police will not attack peaceful protesters. SunSeeker Nov 2014 #125

It is Nixon who is disrespecting them by using them as fig leaves. SunSeeker Nov 2014 #186
I don't think that Johnson and Isom are Nixon's fools. I'll let them speak for themselves. Gore1FL Nov 2014 #191

You claim two African Americans are powerless ornanments for a press conference Gore1FL Nov 2014 #217
I never said they're powerless. I said Nixon is using them as fig leaves. SunSeeker Nov 2014 #219
Isom and Johnson are necessarily disparaged by your assertion. Gore1FL Nov 2014 #220
NIXON is disparaging them by not putting them in charge. SunSeeker Nov 2014 #221
First the problem was that the people standing behind nixon were African American. Gore1FL Nov 2014 #222
Bullshit. The "problem" isn't their color, it's Nixon using their color. SunSeeker Nov 2014 #223
I never attacked you as a racist Gore1FL Nov 2014 #225
