Riots expected after acquittal: Michael Brown

So many victims in these protests. I didn't realize that cops just abused everyone for no reason. I'm glad they are showing the world just how bad it is. 😀

I love all of the white hipsters in the crowds, like they have ever been confronted by a cop.

This is becoming the new occupy.
 
I get it. I wasn't discounting your complaint but pointing out that pretty much no matter what they do people will complain. If they were to march down Pico people would complain. If they were in Griffith Park people would complain. No matter what they do people will complain so just be happy they aren't rioting.

Is he family?

It's Michael Brown's stepfather, which is why the media keeps playing it.

Like I mentioned earlier in the thread, they asked the family's attorney about it and he said "Don't condemn the family for their human reaction", which I thought was interesting, since that is exactly what they are doing to the police officer that shot him.

I saw a lot of signs of "No Justice, No Peace" and "Hands up, don't shoot" but I never saw any signs of "No Looting" or "Behave like normal human beings" or "Hands up, don't loot". Hummmmm.

Seriously. I don't care if you're protesting peacefully. Just don't fuck with the commute to and from work.
Bunch of scumbags. Don't these people work?

"No Looting" goes against what got Brown in trouble. He was looting a local business and harassing an employee like an every day event. Do you really expect people that see theft as a normal part of life to all of a sudden stand down when given an even better reason to take whatever they want?

Who is it that's yelling to burn the city down?

Michael Brown's stepfather. MB's mother is with him. I believe he's standing in front of Ferguson PD. As soon as the "no bill" declaration came through, he started repeatedly shouting "Burn this motherfucker down! Burn this bitch down!" - Helping to incite the riots that immediately followed...

So if the reports are true, that he is a Bloods member, can you expect any better behavior?

Brown was a big fat ass bully that robbed a store then acted tough in front of a cop. His bad family upbringing coupled with a bad attitude is to blame mostly.
 
What's funny about all these protesters is that if they used that energy to actually vote in an election, on bills, etc etc, they could actually have some change but of course, statistics show they don't care about that.
