The cops do not write the laws, if those laws are designed to collect revenue then it is their job to collect the revenue. These protesters have a problem with city hall, not with the cops whom they shot in the face.
Maybe some people should get a job and pay into the coffers.
That's exactly what it is. This whole thing is so cynical. Holder and Obama know full well that this Ferguson report doesn't show any widespread, system-wide abuse of black people. But they'll go out there and demagogue and rile up some people who aren't the brightest bulbs (just look at the comments here from people who buy into their narrative for confirmation of that) anyway.
What's their end game? I don't know, but they can't possibly think that what they're doing will make places like Ferguson better places to live. They have to be smarter than that. Don't they?
In his quest to cultivate the type of chaos that would spark social revolution against America’s capitalist system, Alinsky exhorted activists to constantly “rub raw the resentments of the people” and “fan the latent hostilities to the point of overt expression”—but to do this in measured tones, so as not to “scare off” middle-class Americans.
This is exactly what obama and holder wanted. They love seeing the riots and shooting, it hastens their agenda..
Demonstrations tend to give onlookers the impression that a mass movement is not only well underway, but may actually be preparing to shift into an even higher gear at any moment. A “mass impression,” said Alinsky, can be lasting and intimidating. So when Obama met at the WH with Al Sharpton, his leading advisor on race-related matters, and other protest leaders from Ferguson, urging them to “stay on course” with their activism.
How do you fundamentally change a society, create, encourage chaos and financial breakdown. Obama is doing both.
As Obama said referring the America he called it a "unique experiment".
Holder condemned the shooting calling "cowardly" and "despicable" and labeling the shooter as "a damn punk". Strong language like that suggests that DOJ has information that the shooter is white.
The DOJ has nothing to do with this shooting. It was likely the act of person(s) looking to take advantage of the crowd in order to fulfill personal agenda.
What is clear from this thread, however, is that the same people who couldn't wait to hear all of the negative things about Michael Brown simply refuse to believe or accept that lawlessness exists at many levels and in many systems.
It is interwoven into the fabric of far too many organizations and has been for years.
It does no one any good to cover it up because some may find the truth offensive and/or a slap to the face of "the way things have always been."
I've no doubt that the fears of many have been realized. All those skeletons in the closet finally seeing the light of day.
But of course, it's all someone else's fault that there was something there to find.
WOOOW! JUST WOW, OBAMA RESPONDS WITH A TWEET... WOW!
“Violence against police is unacceptable. Our prayers are with the officers in MO,” Obama tweeted from the White House’s official Twitter account. “Path to justice is one all of us must travel together.”
-- OBAMA
