46. It is Simple

"Why do white people get a pass and BLACK people do not?"

White people (tea party, militia types) show up with guns. Black people show up with preachers, protest signs and chants. A great example of the difference was the white nun who was shot while praying on her knees in Ferguson. She was no threat or danger to the police, so they shoot her.

On the other hand, Mr. Militia sniper pictured above is a clear danger to the police, so he is left alone.

The key is to stop thinking rationally or logically. You need to think like a coward, who would a coward pick a fight with? An old lady on her knees, for a sniper that could kill you from several hundred yards away.

That picture of the nun who was shot with the rubber bullet will haunt me for a long time.

I am hoping for some civil action as well. jillan Nov 2014 #67

Yes, that seems to be the only way out. However, I suspect he turned everything he owns over to jwirr Nov 2014 #106

Great, so now he can go and get a job in Chesterfield, or University City, or Ballwin . . . hatrack Nov 2014 #2

Please stop conflating and confusing the responsibiliy of a grand jury with KingCharlemagne Nov 2014 #21

I am well aware of the differences between a grand jury and trial jury. branford Nov 2014 #23

Well many here also believe that Michael Brown is guilty because of the color of his skin. nt sheshe2 Nov 2014 #25

Are you implying I'm a racist for not prejudging criminal guilt and discussing the relevant law? branford Nov 2014 #32

he is probably getting a couple hundred grand to resign and waive righs to a lawsuit. Travis_0004 Nov 2014 #8

Good to hear this. The chief's saying he'd be back at work was idiotic. He needs to move away, too, freshwest Nov 2014 #6

The police chief was the root cause of the escalation. He's a rank amateur and unfit for duty! n/t RKP5637 Nov 2014 #15

He's a troublemaker of the worst kind! Will he be fired? freshwest Nov 2014 #38

What part of "not announced" are you unable to comprehend? jeff47 Nov 2014 #88

You don't have to be such a dick. morningfog Nov 2014 #90

Apparently I do, since you keep asking for official announcements when I explicitly say none exist. jeff47 Nov 2014 #91
