What a farce these Ferguson riots (and even peaceful protests) are. Just WHAT are these people complaining about ? That an unarmed kid got murdered by a cop ? (so they say)
1. "Unarmed" has absolutely no significance whatsoever. Even private citizens with gun licenses are entitled to shoot people who are attacking them, armed or not. Incidentally, Michael Brown DID have a weapon. His large size.
2. "Murdered" ? As of now, there is not a shred of evidence that Brown was murdered. Dorian Johnson has emerged to be a joke. So-called other witnesses (we don't even know if they were there at the time) have said Brown was shot in the back. Autopsy proved otherwise. They also claimed that Brown did not go after the cop's gun. The cops are now claiming there is forensic evidence that Brown DID touch the cop's gun (DNA and/or fingerprints probably)
3. "Police Brutality" ? Seeing the riots on TV, it appears that the police were quite restrained. After enduring rocks, molatov cocktails, and bottles of water an urine thrown at them, and even guns fired, the cops just went about their business in a professional way. I remember anti-Vietnam War demonstrations in the 60s, when cops were cracking heads with billy clubs and breaking legs.
Seems like much ado about nothing. And it seems like the people who really DO have something to complain about in America, are Whites. After 50 years of affirmative action racism/discrimination against Whites (Blacks being beneficiaries), you'd think it would be Whites who would be protesting. Whites have unfairly been denied college admissions, college financial aid, jobs, job promotions, etc, and have had their whole lives held back as a result. Yet it is Blacks, who have been getting preferential treatment, that are complaining. Why are they complaining ? I'd say it is mass stupidity + the racist and opportunistic yammerings of race hustlers like Al Sharpton and bewilderingly irresponsible words of Missouri Governor Jay Nixon adding fuel to the fire.
