(18,186 posts)Do you have any idea what these people have endured at the hands of cops for years and years and years?
Most any population is going to eventually have enough of evil police and court systems. When you shake down an entire town, sic dogs on kids, destroy people's hope and chances over and over and over, they WILL react.
Some will react violently. The people of Ferguson chose to live with their burden.
One older man still owes over a thousand dollars for a pasrking ticket he got in 2000. That's because if you can't pay your complete fine in Ferguson, they just keep arresting you and arresting you and arresting you. You lose your job, your home, just so a bunch of white people can make a whole lot of money.
Many of the citizens have been paying fines for years on the most petty shit. The fucking municipal judge just MADE UP shite to collect more and more $$$$$$$$$$$$ from people. Cops ROUTINELY violated the 1st and Fourth amendments when questioning or arresting people AND BRAGGED ABOUT IT!!!!
Funny how the white people think it's all good for WHITE citizens to aim guns at law enforcement over cows, but an entire populace should just eat the shit sandwich they've been served for YEARS and never make a peep.
Yes, they are remarkable for not losing it as a community. The cops there are lucky the people went along with the evil meted out on them every goddamned day by the EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL EVUL FPD.
You and pinto face may disagree. I give them credit for not losing their patience long before Mike Brown was murdered.
