You are so right, unfortunately, the mentality that some of these people possess, are not going to stop what they are now doing.
I believe some truly do not think they are doing anything wrong, that is a ignorant mentality.
I have had no trouble with police ever. I have not always lived where I now do, I lived in many Counties out here. And never once had problems with police. They were always there if I needed them.
I do know personally white young men, who have been stopped by the police. Here we go, they had a attitude. You do not have a attitude with police, most do their job to serve and protect. In any profession you have good and bad. You never challenge a police.
When a police man approaches:
__ do not assault.
When a police man puts you under arrest:
__ do not resist.

● MURDER : (Law) the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.
● MANSLAUGHTER : (Law) The unlawful killing of one human by another without express or implied intent to do injury.
● HOMICIDE : (Law) the killing of a human being by another person.
● RESISTING ARREST : (Law) physical efforts to oppose a lawful arrest; the resistance is classified as assault and battery upon the person of the police officer attempting to make the arrest.
● SELF DEFENSE : (Law) The right to protect oneself against violence or threatened violence with whatever force or means are reasonably necessary.
● AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE : An affirmative defense to a civil lawsuit or criminal charge is a fact or set of facts other than those alleged by the plaintiff or prosecutor which, if proven by the defendant, defeats or mitigates the legal consequences of the defendant's otherwise unlawful conduct. In criminal prosecutions, examples of affirmative defenses are self defense, insanity, and the statute of limitations.
Conservatives my AZZ! Try a ignorant way of thinking a ignorant way of living. A warp mentality hell bent on destroying, if they do not get their way.
These people acted like animals, how do you reason with that. Yes burn down the damn town, that is a way to get people to respond, the thing is the wrong people responded!
Let me make this clear... Animals are the people that marginalize and undervalue black lives! Animals are the conservative news mediums and pundits that perpetuate a false narrative by always telling only one side of a story! Animals are the people that give lip service to oppose the "police state" while refusing to take the same stance when blacks are gunned down by people that look like them from behind a badge! Animals are the people that believe it is okay for their type to oppress others but it is not okay for the oppressed to lash out!!!
There is ignorance? Yes. But it's not coming from the side you are claiming...
People turn to illegal activity when they feel they have no way to make ends meet legally. Undoubtedly a lot of rioters fit that description.
BS! You dont see folks in Appalachia stealing Cigarellos and rioting, and they have a long history of being in poverty. At least when those folks get arrested they admit their wrongdoing.
More non lethal weapons to stop aggressive people. If Officer Wilson would have had a taser and used it on Michael Brown all of this could have been avoided. Pepper spray is not extremely effective on some people, but a taser will drop anyone no matter how big, aggressive, drunk, or high they are.
Tasers actually have a higher failure rate than pepper spray (13% vs 10%), and are much more likely to kill. ~55 people are killed by law enforcement taser a year, which is less than the 400 killed by shooting, of course, but might get dramatically higher if tasers are used before firearms more routinely.
It would be used when cops make accusations against criminals too though. That, and we've already seen accusations against police go way down in areas where body cams were introduced. That's a combination of police being on their best behavior and people knowing that their accusations won't hold up if they're not true.
Only in one study (Rialto). Other cities (like Albuquerque) have seen accusations and use of force both go up.

Good point.
You also don't see the, um, you know, "Appalachian Leadership" grabbing the spot-light to balloon their egos and their bank accounts, while whipping people into a frenzy.
Over yon...
