Or idiots can use any excuse to do what they want.
I just get so tired of people seeing color in these situations, instead of taking them on their facts or merit.
There is right and wrong; there is good behavior and bad behavior.
Some people are going to come out against the cop because he's white. Some are going to come out against the cop, just because he's a cop.
Most people are going to use emotion to come up with their opinion instead of facts and logic.
That, is what is wrong with this world.
@AtascaGuy:
Well said. I'm not understanding why these people are looting stores to protest. Because they are so, so, angry? Frankly, I think the police should give them a warning and then start shooting. If I owned one of those businesses I'd be locked inside with a few well-armed friends and shoot anyone who tried to break in.
Protest away. The media is certainly standing around helping flame the fires. The community activists are prodding them right along and our very own President has done (IMO) much more harm than good.
My kids were raised to know YOU NEVER RUN FROM THE POLICE! If an officer stops you (even if he's being a Richard Head) be polite, be respectful and if you are arrested or issued a citation then take it up through the courts.
I'd wager that if this young man hadn't been acting the thug punk he was, stealing from a store, then running from and/or fighting with the police - he'd be alive to do some more robbing, thieving and disrespecting of others today. Seems he learned quite a bit from his lovely mother and peer group.
Being black is not entitlement to act out in any way you choose and if anyone attempts to interfere then the cry goes up for discrimination. Being ANY color is not entitlement to act out in any way you choose and then blame somebody else for the crap choices you make.
