right. anti-caucasian racist? WTF is that? anti-semites, I understand that term. anti-caucasian racist..... No such thing....prejudiced maybe.....but a brown person not liking a white person cannot be a racist. You really should learn the difference. But maybe you don't want to.

They have no shame. smokey nj Aug 2014 #16

Or they have a lot of repressed shame, and we are being treated to a window into it. Blech. Squinch Aug 2014 #17

Too many people depend on others to do their thinking for them and parrot stuff they found. Spitfire of ATJ Aug 2014 #110

Yep. Seen each and every one of these here. But my favorite is this one Number23 Aug 2014 #165

I hope it's soon too. I don't know about you, but whenever I see someone who has to talk a lot Squinch Aug 2014 #211

8 out of the 10 were on full display here during Trayvon Martin Blue_Tires Aug 2014 #53

Kick for visibility! Heidi Aug 2014 #2

you're making a fool of yourself heaven05 Aug 2014 #85

Don't they have tazers? Iron Man Aug 2014 #102

I don't know. Do you? badtoworse Aug 2014 #103

Why would I have a tazer and not the cops? Iron Man Aug 2014 #106

I don't know how many cops carry tazers and I don't know if Wilson had one. badtoworse Aug 2014 #109

Brown could have been tazed instead of being killed. Iron Man Aug 2014 #119

Perhaps. I don't know if Wilson had one and if so, how accessible it was. badtoworse Aug 2014 #132

So you are a "Haven't heard all the facts troll" SomethingFishy Aug 2014 #138

Have you heard all the facts? n/t tjl148 Aug 2014 #143

What fact are you looking for that would justify JaneyVee Aug 2014 #150

I will take that as a no, you don't know all the facts. tjl148 Aug 2014 #204

I certainly am. Anyone who says they know all the facts is full of shit badtoworse Aug 2014 #144

So you're ok with cops killing unarmed teenagers? JaneyVee Aug 2014 #149

I believe there are times when the use of lethal force by the police is justified. badtoworse Aug 2014 #151

Yes we do, because the police would have JaneyVee Aug 2014 #152

I don't believe the police would release any information related to an active investigation. badtoworse Aug 2014 #161

Unless, of course it's damaging to the victim lolly Aug 2014 #185

The video should not have been released. No argument about that. badtoworse Aug 2014 #213

We know and you do too. notadmblnd Aug 2014 #155

Theoretically you may be right. We should let the system take care of it and rhett o rick Aug 2014 #159

I can understand why some here feel the way they do, but that doesn't mean I share their opinions. badtoworse Aug 2014 #164

Case after case from across the country of police shooting people without rhett o rick Aug 2014 #218

There certainly are cases where police action is unjustified and results in death or injury. badtoworse Aug 2014 #233

The interesting thing about outrage, often nothing is done via the status quo. rhett o rick Aug 2014 #234

That is certainly true badtoworse Aug 2014 #235

Look at this video. The police didnt even take time to asses the situation. rhett o rick Aug 2014 #219

You didn't include the video. badtoworse Aug 2014 #222

The police made no effort to assess the situation. Drove up, got out of their cars and shot him rhett o rick Aug 2014 #236

I have to agree with you - I didn't see any threat badtoworse Aug 2014 #237

Yes cwydro Aug 2014 #232

Since when do pigs aim for the head? L0oniX Aug 2014 #215

It happens in some civilized countries. Like Germany and The Netherlands and France and... GeorgeGist Aug 2014 #224

It's confirmation bias - an annoying aspect of Internet forums and the news. chrisa Aug 2014 #100
