Again I ask, what is the point of this protest?

"Black lives matter." (clearly taking a shot at white folks)

I believe when the focus shifted from police brutality to racism, you lost a lot of supporters. Then, they decided to mess up evening commmutes during the work week-Another way to burn bridges. Then, you decided to disrupt people from shopping during most people's favorite holiday of the year.

Strike 1, 2 and 3.

Pensions are ok for police officers but the minute a budget hawk comes in a says we need to gut this part of the budget, it's costing us too much money, watch how quickly some of these commenters change their stance on pensions. I'll bet many of them vote for the same people who would want to do that.

I always think its funny that so many people complain about high taxes, but when you inquire about who they voted for for different state and local elections, its usually Democratic politicians LOL Hellooooooooo

That 's like asking a crackhead to hold onto your money while you run into the store real quick, you know what they are going to do with it!

It's just ridiculous and it is way past time to take
a stand against that type of police misconduct.
If you're not with us, you are against us period.
Didn't have to Unload? When 300 lbs guy will start attacking you I'd like to see what you'd do in his cituation

They all know what they would do. They are all arm chair cops. So easy to say what you would do without ever having to do it in the first place. Officer Wilson is a hero! PO Pantaleo did his job. Bunch of crybabies who ***** about police brutality but remain silent on the blacks who kill other blacks. They cant accept the fact that they didn't get the result they wanted! Those racist white pig cops did their jobs. Sorry you cant accept the facts!!!

Yahoo!

The cops do not have a problem with the vast majority of protesters, only with a few violent criminals that deliberately try to create violent conflict.
You sure? Way to keep the peace during your measly couple tens of thousands march.

I have been more pro-cop, anti-thug in these threads than anyone, but to say that wasnt a choke-hold insults my intelligence.
