Ferguson Protesters Chain Mall Exits Shut

Again, no. Please stop forwarding this already debunked info. The ones that were shown to be actual witnesses, their stories all agree Brown and Johnson were the aggressors.

The problem is that the protestors don't think it is debunked.

Doesn't say much for their IQ that they are willing to believe the stories of those who weren't there and have admitted or been proven they weren't there and are lying.

Some people claim that Elvis is still alive. Some people claim that there are aliens being held captive at Area 51. It's because of such claims that we also rely on physical evidence. When claims match up with physical evidence we give them more credence. When they are in conflict with physical evidence we give them less credence. We DO NOT punish people based on unsubstantiated claims.

Many protestors believe that Wilson was afraid of Brown was due to Brown's skin color.

Wilson described Brown as the stereotypical, brutish, violent, animalistic, black thug. The grand jury believed it was reasonable for Wilson to defend himself from the big, brutish, thuggish, aggressive African American teenager.

Yeah, the fact that he was a suspect in a strongarm robbery, his behavior during that robbery and his size in comparison with the officer are facts that seem to have escaped the idiot protesters whom we all should hope are not procreating - we don't need more idiots.

Can you link to the page in the GJ testimony that was released where Wilson described Brown as the "stereotypical, brutish, violent, animalistic, black thug" please?

That the police would do anything to protect their own.

There is evidence of the Ferguson police doing that? ANd how does the Ferguson police in ANY way counter the forensic evidence and autopsy conducted by the family attorney which proves Browns friend and others are without a doubt lying.

Why is it that when caught defending a lie cant people just admit..."huh...that was probably a rushed judgment and I am backing the wrooooooong horse." ?

They were roughly the same height, brown was just 90 pounds heavier.

And at the time of their encounter Wilson did not know for certain if brown was the actual culprit, only a suspect.

Wilson ran into Brown just after clearing a health and wellness check on a black infant. While some people might believe that Wilson was afraid of black people I'd suggest that an alternate possibility (and a much more reasonable one) is that he was afraid of getting knocked out.

Perhaps these people feel that these protests are the only thing they have left to turn to since they believe that the justice system was rigged.

Stupidity isn't an excuse.
 
Unitedwestand13 said:
That is not the grievance being protested.

What is being protested is the justice system being rigged in favor of the cop, who told a story that turned a delinquent guilty of petty theft into some sort of beast. Wilson says that he heard brown was grunting like some aggressive animal. That sort of description paints the picture of events unfairly.

How is it rigged?

The GJ saw the robbery tape where Brown was in full thug. As for Wilson at the scene, he knew this much heavier guy and his buddy were suspects in a strongarm robbery. But really, he wasn't even allowed out of his car by these suspects before their aggression surfaced.

Please acquaint yourself with the freely available facts and evidence of the case.

The existence of systemic privilege makes injustice a collective threat. In the majority, we needn't worry.

Racism in its most raw form is a race war or riot.

Who's side would you be if your area of Florida had racial uprising? Cuban, Hispanic, Black, White or Asian or "other?"

So, in your view systematic privilege is the reason most black folk are murdered and preyed upon by other black folks?

Gosh... Watching a 300 pound man grab skake, throw around, etc, a smaller, clearly frightened store clerk, I can't understand what kind of actions would cause people to view him thus.

A localized riot is of no threat to the status quo and SP therein.

Black and white are not ethnic groups or nationalities. There are reasons Cuban (nationality), Hispanic (ethnic group) and Asian (geographic group) are capitalized. White and black tells us nothing of the aforementioned.

SP contributes to poverty among primary socioecon factors, history remains a factor as well.
