Do black people want a different standard of justice?

I think they do. After watching Dr Phil on DVR this morning, I understand that they want to make decisions in the street. They think it's fair, that if they don't believe they're doing anything wrong? They don't have to comply with a police order.

"Let me see some identification," the cop says. "Why?? What have I done wrong? You don't have the right to ask me that!!" Scufffle ensues; suspects arrested. "That cop had NOOOOO right!! to ask me for my identification!!"

A black football player on the show opined that it was rap videos that build a dangerous sense of bravado in young black men. That they can assert their rights in the street. Sorry, you can't do that. THEY want to be the ones who decide whether or not a cop is acting within his rights. Sorry, you can't do that.

I'm a "Yes sir. No sir," kind of gal. I'm never going to be shot by a police officer. You want to assert your supposed rights in the street? Good luck. So in THAT way, blacks want different rules for themselves.

It's not just blacks, of course. They showed some video footage of a white male who refused to obey police officers...as they stood there with guns drawn. "Stop!! Put your hands up." He kept walking backwards and refused the order." (His hands were tucked in his waist band with a tee shirt pulled down over them.) "Put your hands up!!" He didn't. Instead, he reached to pull up his shirt. They shot him. He was unarmed.

People!!! Teach your children!!! The problem is them.

This is hilarious. Recently you 'poo-pooed' my citing of Tom Brokaw as a source, yet you watch Dr Phil and cite him. Sorry, but... :lamo Daytime talk shows rate a level (or two) below the mainstream media, and Dr Phil is the lower end of that level.

Ok, back to the thread.

Glad to entertain you, Radcen. ;) I don't ever remember, "poo-pooing" your citing of Tom Brokaw. I'm not citing Dr. Phil, though. I'm citing his guests.

You made a claim that the prosecutor used out dated evidence............I merely asked for you to back that claim up.

You have failed to do so, trying to deflect. I'll take your deflection as you conceding the point.

The grand jury was handed a copy of Missouri statute 563.046- the state’s use of force doctrine.

Why should black people be held to a more laxed standard of behavior? The law is what it is.

Yes, because white people never criticize or protest a decision by the criminal justice system.

And of course, we can't possibly acknowledge that our system, while far better than it was ~60 years ago, still does not treat people equally.


Dont want to get shot by cops? Dont go beating on cops, robbing stores, and reaching for cops guns

Thats not evidence, that is the statute that clearly applied in the Ferguson case.

LOL... You linked presumption of innocence...... Yet you don't seem to apply it in favor of the Officer, who was investigated extensively, had his case brought before a grand jury, and was determined that there was not enough evidence to indict.
