No no, I agree. I'm livid that we have descended to this point of senseless violence over a court statement.
I'm surprised there don't seem to be any mods in the thread to see the spam and additional threads being created by the spammer.

Thats not what she said though? According to her you have to be "livid" in order to not be apart of the problem which is a fucking dumb thing to say.
I can still care and be level headed.

Right after that leveled headed mother we get a women with a college degree in "diversity" talking about how she just asks herself, "what if it was me" talking about Michael Brown when thinking about the issue and how she's happy to protest about the injustice of the "murder."

I am not "absolutely livid" about the Ferguson decision. I'm more livid over the fact that these morons are looting and burning down their own city.
Every minute that passes by, more and more buildings are set on fire. As I type this, two more just started, and police are reporting that a police officer and another civilian were just shot. People are dying and the city's burning down, and it's quite obviously not the police's fault. They are doing what they can, but they are too understaffed to handle this citywide emergency, and the rioters are well aware of that. That is what people should be livid about right now.
This is definitely the absolutely wrong way to go about reforming "the system". Shooting cops & innocent civilians, looting & arson... this isn't media sensationalism, this is really happening, and it is absolutely terrible.

And to think I got banned instantly for posting a single character.
I'm going to be honest, I myself am pretty neutral (well, undecided is a better word) as to what side i'm on. You all make good points, and tumblr is basically only BLACK INNOCENT UNARMED GUY GOT SHOT BY WHITE SUPREMACIST COP but I have seen good points made from both sides. It's really stressing me out. But the thing that irks me the most is the fact that misinformed people are preaching when really they have no idea what they are talking about.
Edit: But honestly at this point is it really this specific event? It's the system as a whole. Which is honestly fucked in a lot of ways, I believe. Can't most of us agree there?

This is the exact reason I'm waiting for as much information to come out as possible before I start throwing my opinion around like it matters.
Misinformation and ignorance is the what's truely pissing me off the most about this case.
Man i wonder if ill even have school tomorrow. we have alot of bussed in black students from the city at my school, i hope they stay safe and out of trouble

You don't need to pick sides - there shouldn't even be sides in this debate. I'm of the opinion that Wilson reacted appropriately, but I also stand for the Ferguson community in their outrage, because I've witnessed the discrimination that heavily-black communities face by police officers (intentional or not). The verdict's stated that there wasn't even enough evidence to charge Wilson - I'm running with that. The verdict doesn't matter for shit anyways, because the entire protest is centered on frustrations with a non-representative police force and discrimination against black people.
Misinformed people will always spout nonsense - some people say Brown literally charged the guy after walking in the middle of the street and badmouthing him, some people say Brown put his hands up and was shot in cold blood. Neither are probably correct.

This is getting very bad.
Seriously another auto parts store is on fire. Why do they keep starting fires at autoparts stores? It's the fourth I've heard while listening to the scanner.

I'm sorry, but this is just false. I've been watching these live streams for a few hours now and every single interview of a random protester (other than that very recent one with the mother and son) made it very clear that they are furious over the "murder" of Michael brown.
It is truly ironic that what started out as a moderately peaceful protest against the killing of someone results in a riot with the shooting of other people.
quoting murder that's not a very smart idea dude nor is it reasonable, especially considering your history with anything related to black people sgman

I quoted it because it's literally a quote from multiple interviews. That's their word for it, not mine.
it's easy to say that you're the level-headed one when you're not living in a state of poverty that is without a doubt beyond your control, quite literally oppressed by being disproportionately targeted by the police, are the most affected group by the recession, and now living in a world where racism is made more and more opaque just because it's not being enforced with a firehose. meanwhile san francisco, new york, seattle, every big city is gentrifying faster than anyone could even fathom and the communities that are always displaced are the same. they're poor people, and by extension they're black people.
black people get the shaft end of every speed bump this country hits and here i'm reading 500 posts expecting all of them to act like Socrates and drink their hemlock instead of being angry. talk about sheltered.
the worst part is most of these people rioting aren't pissed off about anything in particular.
They just want to break/steal shit.
