This is your opinion, and while entitled to that, it doesn't make it real.

No, the objective evidence rejects that claim. The only evidence to that was testimony by witnesses who were proven incorrect by that objective evidence.

One such fund...

Facts proven, or just fact selected?

You know what else Blacks love? Getting shot. Even when they're running away. They'll just stop, realize they're actually leaving the fun stuff, and turn around to get shot more. White people -- when they get shot in the back and turn around, they surrender. When Black people do it, it's to charge at the guy who just shot them. B/c that makes sense.

And that cop was such a tragic hero, doing what had to be done. Except trying to save the kid's life or even calling in the shooting in a timely enough manner to get help. But please excuse the moment's of irrational behavior. He was still in shock from the traumatic ordeal he just went through.
Well, I don't believe all blacks are violent.

But I do believe Brown attacked the cop.

Why?

Just minutes before the altercation, Brown roughed up the owner/worker of the convenience store.

It's just common sense.

You must be privy to some information that the Grand Jury didn't have. Shame on you for not coming forward with this info.

The forensic evidence doesn't support that conclusion.

rioting has been an effective way for many gains made by the community. massive federal aid has always been the result. do you think that this entire thing is about a cop attempting to do an arrest for a store robbery? the "rioting" was already happening before the cop ever made the arrest.
ferguson was already out of control. i saw the same thing just before katrina in new orleans, i was there-- i saw large multiple flash mobs in action.
mexican people cross over organize unite and then do demonstrations and demand concessions and get them. black people do the same just a bit more violent.
