Wow. Not that we don't know that people who feel that way exist...

Again, I'm particularly struck by the hatred and lack of empathy displayed by young women for the children of these officers

It has nothing to do with arrogant. The stats aren't mine. They are not a reflection of my opinion of myself or my abilities. Maybe you're just confused and don't know what arrogance means?

Of course we have a world where politicians, lawyers, and judges live in secluded upper-class neighborhoods away from majority of people where criminals live and roam so daily crime does not affect them as much and they don't care if a rapist continues to rape they just apply the law and barter with the lawyer that may slip them some extra $$.
Yeah executed in civil places like Iran Saudi Arabia China, not given rehabiliation like Scandinavia

Trayvon could have easily been you or I on that fateful evening, because I never would have stopped for Zimmerman either. He's not wearing a uniform and he LOOKS like some crazed freak. Remember, this is FLORIDA we're talking about.


To be honest with you, I don't want Bill to continue being "friends" with Sharpton. I'm disturbed now. My energy is low. I really can't put into words how much I despise Sharpton, especially after his treatment of a poor immigrant Korean grocer back in the day.

The owner kicked the boy out of his store for stealing, but didn't call the police. Sharpton got involved, called it racism and picketed that man's establishment for what seemed like months. It later emerged that Koreans do NOT call the police when they have problems, because they don't like or trust law enforcement, so they handle it themselves. We found this out maybe a couple of weeks after the incident. Another thing is that people were upset that foreign businesses weren't hiring people from the neighborhoods to work the stores. Well, these are FAMILY businesses, so they utilize their kin for that stuff.

Things eventually changed and they began hiring one or two people from the neighborhoods they had businesses in to work their stores which was a good thing. People felt more comfortable shopping in them.

But even after finding all this out, Sharpton STILL had his people picketing that man's store while leaving all the other businesses alone. I thought this was horrible and to this day, I hate him for it (and a few other things).
Yes, we know that (in your opinion) everything bad that happens to a black person is somebody else's fault, that's been made very clear over the last few weeks.

3 juries have been empaneled and reached a decision. Since none of us here were in any of the jury rooms nor have we seen/heard all the evidence that the juries saw, in order to be FAIR minded one has to rely on their decision.
Some may not like their rulings but that does not make them any less valid.

Now if anyone has hard EVIDENCE (not feelings,suppositions,guessing) that the jury didn't consider I'd suggest y'all get it to the D.A. so they can reopen the cases.

You mean the "victims" who assaulted the police and were shot in self-defense?

Complain that the cops don't care about the safety of the folks "of color", because they're racist.

12-year-old Tamir Rice was assaulting a police officer? You, sir, are a liar.
