If this was a black officer shooting a white guy nobody would have given a shit. Nobody would have cried that it was about race. There wouldn't have been any hashtags on twitter or statements by Obama People want to believe it's about race so they can be offended, upset and have an "excuse" to riot.

[QUOTE=Ownederd;46569608]are u aware of how the us justice system can be directly and unfairly disproportional to black ppl[/QUOTE] Of course. I'm not going to say every goddamn ruling against a black person is racist though. That's fucking racist in and of itself. But then again, everything is racist anymore.

/pol/ is leaking. Any mention of Jews will lead to several unironic "happy merchant" jokes, it seems.

Anyone seen the photos of Wilson's face after the incident? Not bad at all, but you can tell he took a couple shots to the face

[U]This is where the problem is coming up... almost everyone in this thread is dividing people by their race[/U]: "blacks are giving themselves a poor image" "the blacks are justified in their actions" "if I was black I'd be angry too" "the blacks are ruining everything" [B]This has been a case about race, and that was the problem from the start.[/B] If you take part in the race argument you are part of the problem. When I look at Michael, when I look at the cop who shot him, when I look at the rioters, I don't see fucking colors. I see people. A guy, [U]not a black guy[/U], a[B] HUMAN MALE[/B], was shot and killed under suspicious circumstances by a police officer. Evidence about the case was collected. A jury of the Officer and the Deceased's peers, people, was brought together and shown the evidence of the case. Due to the evidence, they determined that the Officer acted in defense and was in the right when he discharged his weapon, and was thus cleared. Now a bunch of rioters are wrecking the city. Black's aren't wrecking the city. Rioters are. You know what should make us, as people not partaking in the riots and all the bullshit, different from them? That we shouldn't take race into account here. That's why they're rioting, they made it about race and now they're blind with rage. All they are are rioters, and they are illegally trashing a city, and law enforcement is doing it's best to slow the damage to the city and prevent harm and loss of life. [U]Now who's side do you think you should be on, honestly?[/U] Stop making this about the "blacks" vs. everyone else. Stop making this about racism. You're only helping to fan the flames.

Funny how it ALWAYS comes down to race. Sometimes it's legit, most of the time it's race card pulling, both times it's bullshit

you might not see colours, but that's nice for you isn't it? the police in america certainly do and they've been disproportionately seeing blacks for a very very long time
i'm going to gag the next person who says /pol/ and throw you out of a plane over ferguson

How about the fact that a grand jury of peers determined that given the gigantic amounts of evidence gathered about the case, the officer was acting in defense? Black or white, red or purple, a man attacked a police officer, put his life in clear and present danger, and the officer defended himself. Again, this is the problem! Time and time again, people ignore facts and just look at the colors, look for the worst case. The fact that someone died is never a good thing. But it's not because he was black. It's because he attacked him.
