Well that post right there pretty much negates any credibility of your other posts. Have you even been paying attention?

, the point is it was a different call that didn't involve Brown. Don't be silly.
He did not know Brown and his friend were involved in a crime at first, he engaged them because they were walking in the middle of the street.

Verdict can be used in a non-legal sense as indicated in the definition:
OPINION, JUDGEMENT

My verdict is that you're arguing just for argument's sake.

You are correct on that, history has shown that stupidity crosses all races. No one has been exempt.

. I'm in a city that is over 70% black and as of right now there are no riots or property damage because of it. Today is business as usual.

What? At least 5 people who where there stories were simliar depending on there vantage point. The consruction worker, the two young ladies on there way to work, the young man who CNN inteviwed who was looking out window then ran outside and MOST importantly the young man that was with Mike Brown. ALL FIVE stated Mike Brown was in a surrender position hands up in air when he was fatally shot. Now let me ask you have you been paying attention? SMDH

How is that even possible? Do you know that marshall law would be declared in all of these cities right now if black people reacted in droves to this verdict or behaved in the manner that people keep describing? There are 2 million black people in NY, 300,000 + in DC, 900, 000 in Chicago. Deduct the elderly, children, physically disabled and imagine what life would be like if it really were a majority or even a slight increase over what we see now.

What is going on is a lot better than what it used to be which shows me that something positive is going on. It remains to be seen whether or not the trend will continue.


Tell me what it is that you see that doesn't mesh well with what I've said.

We already knew that some fools were just waiting for a chance to take what isn't theirs. ON the other hand look at how many listened to the other parents and did what they already felt in their hearts was right.
