Rock bottom blow out deals in Ferguson! Screw Black Friday, 100% off deals, but dont wait, these deals wont last...neither will the buildings! Predictable as this was, a lot of people are questioning the wisdom of releasing this grand jury decision at 8 p.m. I think it was to help prevent people getting caught up in the mayhem, and I guess it wouldnt matter much what time it happened, but would have putting the country on notice then waiting until daylight hours been a slightly better idea? I dont know. Within a county that is 60% black and a white officer involved, what could have been expected. If a black officer would have shot him under the same circumstances, would there have been the same outrage? How about a black officer shooting a white man? It might be fair to say that this situation was mismanaged to a degree, but this is not the way to honor the parents or Brown. People still remember the Rodney King beating and the L.A. riots in 92. As bad as the beating was, and how devastating the rioting was to south-central when the first verdict came down and the four cops walked, the riots produced a civil rights trial that may not have happened against those officers which two were convicted. People remember. This and every case is different and despite trying to keep up on this, I dont know all the facts, but 9 white and 3 black jurors made a decision. Let us also remember that the vast majority of people and protesters did not loot and riot and those that did probably dont care too much about the verdict. I guess this situation is just going to happen from time to time and it just isnt possible to prevent in every situation. Also, there still is a federal investigation being conducted. Honestly, I doubt this investigation will play out any differently, because the facts are what they are. Maybe Hilary is right, it takes a village. Communities have to be active in the affairs that effect them. Nothing happens by complete accident. The power lies with us, the people to create our situations and solutions first. Without perceptional changes, reality will remain the same, unchanged do to attitudes long held as truth regardless of impartial fact. This is true for law enforcement as well. Prejudices still exist and stereotypes are still omnipresent. This situation in Ferguson shows clearly what happens when these perceptions collide. I have no idea why I post this SHIT! Please disregard this as a post from a half brain damaged insomniac killing time before work. WOW Richard, would you just SHUT UP!...Make me...I dont make...
