"The Ferguson effect is coming to a city near you..."
I doubt that.
Most people in Montana would not put up with mobs like that. There would likely be armed citizens stopping them in their tracks, ESPECIALLY if the mob was mostly out-of-state agitators!
It didn't happen here in the 1960s, I don't anticipate it happening now
Out-of-state agitators..........like the Freedom Riders or those boys down in Philadelphia, Mississippi. You sure showed them!
Well, in the last few days some black "teen" was shot by a police officer after said "teen" tried to and began to attack him. Of course, this "teen's" mother is a member of the hedinitdonuffin crowd so people are protesting and walking around like uninformed morons claiming that he was shot for no reason.
Another one of your continued despicable distortions of what actually happened..............

You mean the fact that witnesses say he attacked the police officer and slugged him. And the choirboy was on probation for armed robbery. Also the original call was him assaulting someone.

Probation for armed robbery? Why was this guy even on the street? And they reserve Jail time for Pot smokers and men would can't afford Child support

Here is another irony of this. People thrown in prison for pot often have a hard time getting jobs. Furthermore, drug testing is done for many jobs, as a condition for employment. And yet, such testing isn't used for food stamps.
More on the way: Man thrown in prison for missing child support. He has a hard time getting job once out of prison and can't come up with child support, and once again gets thrown in prison.

Yeah, How about reserving Prisons and Jails for those who are a violent threat to society and community service or forced labor for those who are not a threat!

The way I see it, the weed smoker is annoying, but I'm far more worried about the armed robber. A man misses a child support payment. That could be for alot of reasons. He could be unemployed, or if he is employed, his check might have not come in yet. And throwing men in prison for missing child support won't solve that problem. The system works like this. A woman who can't take care of her children can get food stamps and child support. A man who can't do that gets called a deadbeat, and gets no help, sometimes gets put in the system. While I do believe in "do the crime, do the time" some of the things we throw people in prison for are getting ridiculous. And the system works like a revolving door. Prisoners come in and out, and come back in again.
For the guy that isn't a threat, making him pay back society through work.
This is Oakland. There have been riots before. Call me a cynic, but people with alot of anger, nothing to lose, and lack of care will do things like this.
So wrecking their own neighbourhoods is the answer.
People who do that are completely stupid.
