Anyone watching Victims of Ferguson?

[Spungo]

Do we have a speech from Obama "if I have a small business" yet? LOL.

You didn't burn that business. You had help along the way!

People were protesting because a robber was shot after he punched a police officer in the face. Guess what kind of people were protesting - the kind of people who rob stores and expect to not get shot.

Where are all the marching, yelling, and screaming lasting for weeks/months for justice for these TRUE INNOCENT victims? Where is the investigation for civil rights violation from Holden/DoJ for these hard working folks? Where is "If I have a small business/If I am a small business owner" speech from BO? Where is CNN special about them?

Concern trolling at it's finest.

Your very paranoid, I suggest wrapping your arse with tinfoil

Not sure tinfoil would be strong enough.

I love how the Canadian that constantly combs over a US political forum of calls others trolls.

Are Canadians capable of scaring babies?

Canadians aren't worried about babies or children like a lot of the posters here
We prefer a more equal fight like this

The people who were looting and burning down businesses are criminals. The business owners on Hannity's show are mostly black. These aren't white owners.

50 National Guard should have been put in front of each businesses. What's sad is small business owners took the brunt of the riots.

Target wasn't burned down.
Walmart wasn't burned down.

My parents were small business owners for 25-30 years. I know how difficult it is to be a business owner. You pour your blood, sweat and tears into your business. It's very hard work with long hours.

Finally, Obama doesn't have a backbone. He's so worried that he's going to upset people that he always takes the muddle ground. Charles Barkley's response was blunt and correct.

Sorry, this is not Obama's fight. This is a local issue. Not everything needs the Feds involvement.

It has nothing to do with big government, it has everything to do with the local law enforcement not protecting their citizens. They reacted way too harshly before and were criticized and decide to do nothing this time and it bit them in the ass.

Yeah no matter what they do, they get criticized. Makes me realize the people have no fuckin clue what's going on in the world.

Well, someone actually won that.
Just like a lot of debates here, but some simply refuse to see it

Yeah, i always feel bad for the shop owners when riots happen. There will always be idiots who claim that the insurance companies will pay. Of course they will pay, but the price of the insurance payment will also increase afterwards. Not to mention emotional value. Criminals see easy game with riots.

The business owners should have defended their own businesses. You can't rely on anyone but yourself. The government fucked up the one job that's clearly within their purview(defense against threats within and without). It should be a wakeup call for the big government fanboys.

while i do agree with you this is a product of society. Many in the US are saying what do you need a gun for? we have the police. they will protect us!

Even during threads of post on castle doctrine you see people saying the tv in your house is now worth the thiefs life (i disagree. if it makes me work more hours to replace that item instead of spending time with my family? fuck you.). So people are getting conditioned to believe that.

the uproar if people protecting their business shot looters? holly fuck. now if they are white?

Though i have to say i think i would be protecting my business if i was them.

It has nothing to do with big government, it has everything to do with the local law enforcement not protecting their citizens. They reacted way too harshly before and were criticized and decide to do nothing this time and it bit them in the ass.

I been thinking about this. At the start they were criticizided by everyone. So now i wouldn't be suprised if they are sitting back on purpose. They are thinking see something like "see? this is what happens when we don't go overboard. The "protesters" loot and burn down buildings. you happy now?"

The sad thing is, the people who insult those who buy guns saying that's what the police are for, are often the same people who turn around and say the police are corrupt as all hell and can never be trusted to protect us.

Those who only vote Democrat and do so passionately, do not realize that, for example Chicago which was highlighted in one of these other threads, is dominated by Democrat politicians, the state is dominated by Democrats, and yet the police force is corrupt. Democrats have not been taking their issues with any seriousness.

We constantly fight amongst ourselves over solutions that contradict what we want solved elsewhere.

People are retarded. I'm a "protester"

"Fuck the man!"

"Now, I'll shit in my bed. That'll show 'em!"

and expect someone else to clean it up! To me the looters and rioters should be put to work for that job.

thats a good laugh but so close to the truth also.

War Comes to Ferguson Mo?

Sorry, this is not Obama's fight. This is a local issue. Not everything needs the Feds involvement.

... “war on terror” has come home — and it’s wreaking havoc on innocent American lives. The culprit is the militarization of the police.

...local law enforcement agencies are using weapons found on the battlefields of South Asia and the Middle East...

A recent New York Times article by Matt Apuzzo reported that in the Obama era, “police departments have received tens of thousands of machine guns; nearly 200,000 ammunition magazines; thousands of pieces of camouflage and night-vision equipment; and hundreds of silencers, armored cars and aircraft.” The result is that police agencies around the nation possess military-grade equipment, turning officers who are supposed to fight crime and protect communities into what looks like an invading army. And military-style police raids have increased in recent years, with one count putting the number at 80,000 such raids last year.

In June, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) brought more attention to police militarization when it issued a comprehensive, nearly 100-page report titled, War Comes Home: The Excessive Militarization of American Policing. Based on public records requests to more than 260 law enforcement agencies in 26 states, the ACLU concluded that this police militarization “unfairly impacts people of color and undermines individual liberties, and it has been allowed to happen in the absence of any meaningful public discussion.”

Federal Government has supplied local police departments with $500 million dollars worth of war fighting equipment.

It has encourgaged the developement of 'SWAT' teams to fight the war on drugs, war on terror, war on whatever...

Last year, to facilitate their wars, local police executed 80,000 SWAT raids...

Facts indicate that many local police departments no longer view their roles as to 'serve and protect.' Now, with Federal Government assistance, local police view their role as waging war.

And in war, dead civilians are just collateral damage...

And yet the National Guard was there.
