How much tax money do you think will go to cleaning up this mess?

You must be a Republican.

Imagine the costs of a trial!

Better to just waste 'em.

Nationwide protests took place last night, but all for what? The idealism of the millennial generation is cringe-inducing.

Good grief, political correctness has gotten so out of hand that soon police officers won't even be allowed to shoot anyone who happens to be black.

First they cry police brutality. And when the looting and pillaging broke out the cries were "Where's the National Guard"

Why his parents don't call him what he actually was? They want MONEY.
Is that the story Wilson told??


Wow.

With behavior that we see in the form of riots and looting is it any surprise that peaceful people want to avoid hiring them?

I am so thankful the Grand Jury did their job correctly and didn't become another victim of bad behavior.

There's a simple way to resolve these issues going forward

Why can't the law enforcement be preferably assigned to jurisdictions where they match the demographic of the population they are policing? Not racial profiling necessarily but putting in authority that is a member of the community being policed so that there is no discourse between the law enforcement and neighborhood. This will enable better dealings between law enforcement and residents. So a community that is 100% African American I'm saying should have a police force that is 100% African American as much so as is the community demographic. A diverse community should have a divorce police force.

And regardless of demographic, police training should focus on diversity training of how to respond to incidents fairly

But if a community with lots of African Americans had more African American law enforcement, that would reduce any speculation of racially motivated actions vs self-defense
