Missouri Police Officer guns down unarmed 18 year old

[JEDI]

ummm...

"Family of Michael Brown says it is requesting 4-and-a-half-minute period of silence in Ferguson before protests."

I guess they just let out the bag the grand jury isn't indicting.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

I heard that they are not required to release the decision for 48 hours.... I would have thought that they might wait until the evening before Thanksgiving to possibly make going on protests possibly interfere with that turkey dinner.



....

The protest organizers were demanding a 48 hour warning before the decision.

That is 4.5 minutes worth of my making popcorn for the start of the riots....errr, I mean "protests"

Bullshit.

I gather you've never watched Rebel Music.

Bob Marley and CIA Philip Agee, former CIA officer (as interviewed in the DVD Marley documentary, "Rebel Music") confirms that the CIA was supplying guns and anti-PNP propaganda to the conservative JLP. (Some Jamaican's began calling Seaga "CIAga.")
In this interview Agee states, "The CIA would look upon the radical political content of reggae as dangerous because it would help to create a consciousness among the poor people, the great majority of Jamaicans."

In relation to Bob? Bullshit.

Whatever

Jesus, can we stop this racism bullshit. Gangsta/Gangster rap is a big market and almost all races play in it.

Down, doggy. Your rage doesn't refute my truth.

Saw it in the news.

I'M SO EXCITED!!!


We got plenty of water and canned goods ready to go!

i said gangsta rap

Gangsta rap is a subgenre of hip hop music that evolved from hardcore hip hop. The genre was pioneered in the mid-1980s by rappers such as Schoolly D and Ice-T, and was popularized in the later part of the 1980s by groups like N.W.A.[1] After the national attention that Ice-T and N.W.A attracted in the late 1980s and early 1990s, gangsta rap became the most commercially lucrative subgenre of hip hop. Some gangsta rappers have been associated, or allegedly have ties with the Bloods or Crips gangs.[2]

I didn't mean to just generalize rapping overall

Gangsta rap almost exclusively fuels violence, drug use, and the subjugation of humans.

Rapping in general, can be of a vareity of genres completely different then Gangsta rap

Exactly. Some here simply don't know anything about it but are pretending they do. I remember listening to ice t's cop killer, then we used to pound dr dre and snoop, all black. Remember rap trax? Other than beastie boys it was heavily black. Google rap trax, basically all black. Rap is a music genre heavily over represented by blacks so of course gangster rap will be overrepresented too.

From day 2
"people protesting Brown's death smash car windows and carry away armloads of looted goods from stores."

Gives them more time to roll in the tanks and flame throwers.

Is there still a curfew in place there or was that lifted way back?

 

[Ns1]

c'mooon f this s, let's get the riots started already!

School has been called off for tomorrow.

Wouldn't it have been wise to release the grand jury decision earlier in the day, so the initial blowback happened during daylight hours? I don't envy the police in the STL area tonight, assuming they release the decision yet this evening.

if there is not a true bill, let's hope the populace will rise above the expectations of so many and remain peaceful.

 

[TheFamilyMan]

Unfortunately, I think the GJ will return a decision to indict the police officer...not because it's the right decision but because of public bloodlust and fear that a group of citizens have no better self-control than to riot, loot, vandalize, and steal.

Even if the GJ returns a 'no-indict' decision, bloodlust and mob-rule will take over and the Feds will come in and pick up where the GJ was 'perceived' to have dropped the ball. Wilson will face charges on a Federal level and will, more than likely, lose. Again, not because he's guilty of violating any rights but because public bloodlust and fear of continued disturbances.

Sad country we live in today.

they reached their decision in the middle of the day, the judge listened, everybody and his brother had to discuss it before letting it out in the public (President, VP, SCOTUS, Attorney General, Governor, Aunt Gladys the librarian, and of course FBI & CIA & NSA & IRS).

I think the curfew was lifted a ways back.

It's inevitable that they will riot which is a shame. It would be far more productive if they bussed 10 million people to protest (not riot) in DC.

 

[Svnla]

The protest organizers were demanding a 48 hour warning before the decision.

LOL. Since when "organizers" can dictate law enforcement agencies what to do and how to do? LOL. Stupid organizers, you are no position of demand anything.

If no indict it is best done by far when people are at home. Absolutely.

I still predict slight leaning toward an indictment. Won't be terribly surprised either way, but more if they don't.

 

[alkemyst]

This thread is painful.

 

[shortylickens]

Been reading forums and blogs all over the place.

Its amazing how many people are blaming the current police presence for the riots which have already happened and the ones which are assumed to happen soon.

Its also a little sad and scary.
