This is definitely something that still needs to be protested. I will personally be letting everyone know that this issue is not being taken seriously and that some simply do not care about the issue.


A system will be put in place to deal with officers who continue to break the law and terrorize citizens. Not condemning Wilson before a fair trial. But if there is no trial, this is an issue that continues to be protested.


There is no evidence so far that would justify the type of force used.

We've both been victims.

It doesn't matter how you dress, what you drive, you can still be a victim to profiling/harassment. As well as every other black man I know.
This is not a case of police harassment. This is a case of a black guy acting like a thug, daring someone to confront him, and menacing police officers. The kid had it comin'.

Your basing this off of what??


And regardless, even if true, there's still due process. It's not an open invitation to kill someone. They are supposed to be professionals.

This is the funniest thing I've read all day.

(And psssst ... the bulk of the evidence hasn't been made public.)

People haven't even reasoned out who grabbed who first but have already come to the conclusion of how the confrontation went down.


We see how justice is served in this country. Officer's words are golden.

For what?

Admitting you get profiled?

Poor baby.

And a girl I went to school with got pulled over all the time. Girl had a lead foot from hell. Never got a speeding ticket. Probably had something to do with her massive boobs and pretty smile.

STOP BEING A VICTIM.

We all have our crosses to bear. Learn what works for you. Get yourself some knockers, lighten your skin, or man up and learn how to deal with unfair crap in life.

People think the protest were a game. They say the protesters were just opportunist. Didn't really care about the situation.



The way I see it, you all are the ones typing on your computers while they were the ones out getting gassed and dodging rubber and wooden bullets.




If you think that the solution is agitating a people already on the edge, you've got a lot of living.




Predicted before. This time I'm not even advocating for anything. What happens happens.

People say nothings being done in the hood, meanwhile they live in their safe suburb observing from their laptop.


People say people aren't fighting for peace, meanwhile in Chicago peace march leaders are getting executed after marches before they can even reach their house.



The general American public is clueless.




If you don't want respectable black leaders to address the issue, maybe we should change course and let you deal with the people we're actually protecting you from.

What in the world are you talking about?

And I'll ask again ... who is "we"?

Actually ... who is "you"?
