The opinion of people claiming Brown was shot in the back or that took the officers side before seeing the autopsy or hearing testimony is worthless.

I agree with Barkley...the Ferguson looters ARE scumbags!

You would be hard pressed to find any people who do not equate LOOTERS w SCUMBAGS.

Now people are just LOOKING to argue with people with all of these redundant Ferguson posts.

Please find a better outlet for your rage. Go exercise. Volunteer for the homeless, whatever.

1. He is black. We need more black people to come out and tell the truth.
2. He has never been one to be politically correct. If this were a known black republican (herman Cain, Condeleesa Rice, Allan West, or even Ben Carson then they would be slammed as tea baggers. Charles is an independent voice.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ TRUE!

Happen's with age. He got it right on the nose with this one.

“We, as black people, we have a lot of crooks,” he said, CNN reported.

“We can’t just wait until something like [the Brown shooting] happens. We have to look at ourselves in the mirror.

There is a reason that they racially profile us in the way they do. Sometimes it is wrong. and sometimes it is right.”
