Poll: Americans agree with Ferguson grand jury; disagree with NYC one

12. Ya think?

The Ferguson event, given the video from the convenience store, the over-the-top efforts by lying provocateurs on both sides, and the clumsy sanctification of both Wilson and Brown by persons with overt agendas, was never going to be the catalyst of change.

The NYC event evokes a much clearer response to systemic injustice for which more people can stand.

"Hands up; Don't Shoot" means that all cops are conspiring racists, white people are unaware bigots and all black folks are criminals.

"I can't breathe" means there must be a national database of police killing civilians, a systemic shift away from the use of lethal force, a restructuring of the police force that is composed along community racial lines and there must be greater independent oversight of the investigations and prosecutions of police-involved deaths.
