you can't define someone based on one or 2 actions...

that's like saying these kids were saints because they did a good deed in their lifetime.
Based upon their police records as well as the fact that Brown had his big hand around the throat of the store clerk.

Like how they did during the Civil Rights movement?

Have we made any progress in the last 50 years or are we moving back in time?

As a whole, apparently very little progress in comparison to other ethnic groups who have migrated and lived here for a much shorter time.

Show us the thread number where I said such a thing. You prove what you claim. I could claim that you're a Black Panther but I don't have anything too back up such a claim so I won't make such a claim. You did - now prove it.

We already know why there is no "outrage". How about that this Ranger was afraid to even try and protect himself during this beating? The intimidation and retribution factor is a serious deal - the stupid PC is out of control. A public servant is required to "just take it" or they can lose their job.

Sources tell Action News that the park ranger chose not to fight back on purpose because he was afraid he would lose his job.

My daughter is a high school teacher in an inner city school - she was attacked in class by a student. She was hit, choked and her clothiers ripped. She did the best she could to try and protect her head and remove the hands from her throat - but she knew she could not strike this student or she would be fired. She was fortunate - the other students came to her aid and one ran for security.

lol, okay...only on CD is that no big deal. 75 arrests over a few days is a lot...at least in MY community it would be a big deal. Head in the sand.
