Ferguson police execute an unarmed 17 yr old boy (Update: Ferguson police chief to resign 3/19)

[NotaPAWG]

They keep talking about the locals that are rioting and protesting but have never questioned what's the reason that they are doing so. They never questioned the officer who killed Mike because he was black and the group of men in riot gear putting fear in the locals like its a Call Of Duty video game.

They're still talking about the ONE instance of rioting & looting in 5 days?

READ BETWEEN THE LINES

Obama pushed his press conference back so the governor could finish his speech AND Obama could deliver his. They're working to resolve this shyt behind the scenes.

Someone has got to address you like a grown man before you keep embarrassing yourself...

I'm not gonna sh1t on you too bad because you say some real sh1t at times, but you are being totally intellectually dishonest about Obama here.. You keep whining about people moving goalposts and not knowing what goes on behind the scenes, like you're part of the presidents inner circle, just because you got a passport..And you need to knock off that "Yall don't know what I know, I'm more savvy than yall" horse sh1t...

You just really love and support the president... Which is cool and completely your right, but you sound crazy as hell with some of your reasoning...

For example yesterday you made a statement that (I'm paraphrasing)

"Obama would be a fool to even mention the word Missouri, it would make half the country hate him, this is chess not checkers, he CANT speak out now, its bad politics"

Then no less than 30 seconds after you said that, Obama released a statement directly addressing Missouri..




And instead of being critical of Obama for doing something that 30 seconds earlier YOU claimed would be reckless..

Your response was

"See I told you so!!! What yall gonna say now?!?! Obama got this covered!!!"


By your own logic and reasoning, if you were one of the presidents advisers he would have done the opposite of what you said was the "smart play"...


So please stfu and stop trying to kick knowledge like you're some type of Beltway insider..You just a fan boy that browsed a couple of websites and watches MSNBC like everyone else...


You treat Barrack like you treat Drake... Settle your weird azz down a little bit and bring some nuance to these discussions...

 

[The Bilingual Gringo]

there are different sentiments in this thread, which ones do you share. Prior to the post you made after I @'d you, had you posted anything else in this thread?

Do you feel that you're one of the good white people?

I expressed my sentiments above in my thoughts on the situations, I can't go back and find each quote that I agreed with here. I have had other people co-sign what I typed, so it's obviously all there. No, I hadn't posted anything because I didn't feel the need to I read a lot of threads on The Coli in the mornings when I'm drinking my coffee and having breakfast and sporadically throughout my work day, I don't feel the need to post in a lot of them. My post count reflects that. If it's something that I feel the need to respond to, I do so.

Define "good white people"

Howard University students take powerful #DONTSHOOT photo in protest of #MikeBrown killing

Who cares?

People preaching for a peaceful protest have been shown that even without being violent, these cops going to hit you with gas and rubber bullets... picture would be better if they were aiming guns at the camera

 

[Captain Crunch]

Shouldn't nelly be in st louis protesting and buying them food/water

Shouldn't you instead of posting on the coli shytting on him?
If you not trying to combat this, don't get on other people for what they're not doing.

These ESPN personalities have tweeted a little about this :

https://twitter.com/JalenRose
https://twitter.com/bomani_jones
https://twitter.com/jemelehill

Stuart Scott, Stephan A, Cari Champion, Michael Smith, Skip Bayless ain't said shyt.

This is just from who I've searched thus far.

I know "we can't rely on celebrities" but I still think it's important to know if we have people with vast capability to spread the message in our corner....and maybe this is naive, but a part of me STILL expects these black celebs to speak out sometimes....

Kind of want to make a massive list of who has and who hasn't been scared....


He seems like good people but he seems to be one of those bruthas that wasn't "urban" enough for some people and he complains a lot about the whole "I am called a sell out" stuff as shown on his timeline (He's also talked about it in his raps).

But as his timeline also shows, he does in fact give a fukk.

I'm not against him, although this situation has highlighted that "twitter activism" does in fact serve many purposes. Social Networking is what MADE this national news. It's also beneficial for other reasons....People say "Well what are YOU doing except posting on the Coli" as though everyone can be expected to just buy a ticket to wherever there is conflict that they care about. But they also forget that there is a therapeutic aspect to this as well...black people from around the globe can meet up (In not physically, at least conversationally) and actually TALK about this shyt. It matters, even if it is only an echo-chamber of encouragement. Imagine not just having the internet, that's too big for our purposes...just imagine this story without twitter. Hell, just imagine that we actually had twitter...but didn't have Thecoli. Bruthas would be on somethingawful or bodybuilding forum trying to post the REAL but having to wade through a bunch of police-apologist bullshyt to do it.

You know Stephen A. ain't about to say shyt after how he got chewed the fukk up. If he was to even insinuate this is black people's fault, man I don't know what the fukk would happen

 

[dontreadthis]

story is picking up A LOT of international traction

 

[Youngdev]

This black dude just got up here talking about its not about Race


Get the fukk outta here

 

[mrken12]

Who cares?

People preaching for a peaceful protest have been shown that even without being violent, these cops going to hit you with gas and rubber bullets

But it makes the police and the US as a whole look terrible to the international community. Having peaceful protests and still throwing tear gas and shooting rubber bullets at people not doing anything.

LIVE STREAM (FYI) http://fox2now.com/2014/08/14/gov-nixon-to-speak-at-umsl-about-ferguson-crisis/

British dude asking them REAL questions but the speaker won't answer! He keeps saying, "we're looking forward"
Answer the damn question!!!

 

[alpo]

So fukking what? Black people need to learn taking photos with hoodies and with their hands up AINT GOING TO DO shyt.

We should have had squads of people riding through Ferguson arming the people just like the US arms protestors in other countries.. but I'm sleep. Dont mind me. Take your photos so you can feel like you did something.

"Don't shoot!"

EXACTLY!!!!

 

[pawdalaw]

Mike Brown is 6'4 .... How did the Police grab him by the neck when he's still sitting in his cruiser?? (dhalsim?)





BOTTOM LINE: You cant grab somebody by the neck if you are sitting in YOUR CAR and they are 6'4.... How did Mike's neck get that low?



Sounds like Mike went up in that nikka Window... Unless somebody can come better explain this.


Hope this isn't an out for them, but we gotta play devils advocate and look at it from how THEY WILL SPIN IT.


Thoughts?

From my understanding it was an SUV.
