give one example of it,, an African American girl being KILLED by white perps that were pursued immediately by the justice system,, and that caused civil rights activists to show up anyway,,,?



Im imagining this case fits the expectation well, that if there is a crime the perps should be pursued and prosecuted


give me an example where THAT expectation was met, where the white perp of a black victim was pursued and prosecuted, but civil rights activists showed up to protest ANYWAY,,,

I don't have the authority to define 'crimes', never have

I have judged that the example given to try to show a double standards ia a case of a common crime with common criminals,, which gets covered in local news

in cases of exceptional circumstances, where a cop has killed someone, certain stories will grab press

just like in cases where someone has grabbed a child, certain stories will grab press too


black people , understandably, have developed a historically based fear of those in authority abusing or killing them with impunity

just as white people have developed a fear of the 'pretty' children being abducted by strangers


its supply and demand news, but it is irrelevant to whether whats covered is newsworthy,,,

It would be reasonable to wait until the grand jury completes its investigation and releases its decision before passing judgement on the cop.

Then again, Melvin Udall may be on to something.

there will be no grand jury for Martin, yet, don't you realize people need to 'pass judgment' on him in order to justify this shooting?

Martin?

Emotion interferes with logic. In fact it is often the fuel behind most critical thinking fallacies.

Lets hope the jury thinks with their heads first and not their hearts.

Freudian slip,, different 'thug' same crazy excuse

I meant Brown

The grand jury doesn't decide guilt. It decides prosecution. Guilt is decided by a jury of peers.

I'll give you an example.

The 2012 Tulsa Easter Weekend Murders. Jesse Jackson showed up, despite the fact that the perps were arrested and charged with a hate crime as well as murder.

Warning foul language

How not to get your a$$ kicked by the cops

showed up to PROTEST......no.


in that case it wasn't a protest, it was a meeting with black caucus who invited him and other leaders to make the case that this should be charged as a hate crime,, because the shooter had been on facebook previously posting this

"Today is two years that my dad has been gone shot by a f------ n----- it's hard not to go off between that and sheran I'm gone in the head



still waiting,,,,

lol chris rock

I wonder where his satire is about how slaves could have 'avoided' getting lynched,,,,

yep, it can be AVOIDED by complete submission and obedience

I agree


finding americans who are willing to be OBEDIENT or SUBMISSIVE to something they feel is unjust or threatening,,, is another matter though,,

I wonder how dozens of black folks on public land being DISOBEDIENT of authorities by holding them off with guns would have been handled,,,,,

Kind of a different situation. People weren't rioting and looting on the ranch.
Would have been nice to see law abiding gun owners in Ferguson defending and protecting the stores from being robbed and burned down. Then I believe the police wouldn't have rolled out in their riot gear and tactical vehicles.

you believe that's what made the difference?

Powell, the man with the knife, wasn't rioting or looting either, but he was a THREAT with his knife

how much of a threat would dozens of black people with GUNS have posed?...or been perceived as?

The perps were already charged with a hate crime, which is why Al Sharpton cancelled his planned trip to Tulsa.

he went to Tulsa to speak with the Black Caucus about the hate crime charge,, BEFORE it was charged as a hate crime,, he remained there to participate in the services that were held for the deceased

not in the same BALLPARK as showing up to protest injustice,,,not even close,,,

Jackson was not needed in order for the perps to be charged with a hate crime.

lol,, ok

yet, he was FREE to participate in the topic that he was INVITED to discuss,,,

and it falls in a totally different class than this incident,

there wasn't organized protest or looting or rioting, just a discussion by leaders and activists about the nature of the crime and the recent history in that community


though Sharpton also participated in something that he was 'invited' to attend,,,

op hopefully there will be tapes from that store to show the wrong doing ... and all has to do was this officer afraid for his life ... same with Brown this is what they both have to show ...

problem is though mystical, the time that is passing without such information being public makes information that comes out later suspect,,,


I just don't see how this officer wont be cleared based upon his word of how afraid he was for his life,,,,

I don't know if anyone could have got video offering up a different explanation, and I don't see if they did how it would not be already aired

(like the conflicting youtube video of Powell being shot down by police who had claimed he charged at them with a knife in the air)

or

easily confiscated and hidden to fit the preferred narrative

if it hasn't come out already, it will not help either side,,,, in the public eye

and the officer will be 'justified',,,
