Originally posted by Darth Executor View PostFar more instructive to me is that white cops in Ferguson, the mixed race police force in Baltimore and the black cops in Detroit all act the same. The core problem obviously lies with the communities themselves and police brutality is a product of bad communities rather than their cause.
That said the increasing militarisation and brutality of the police and the violent reaction strikes me as karmic given the amount of war and destruction the US has waged recently.

Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostEverybody knows rioting is wrong, but there's no point in re-iterating that. Instead, what can be done to prevent future occurrences?
It seems instructive to me to compare North Charleston to Baltimore. In North Charleston, there was even video evidence of what happened (and it was damning toward the officer), yet there were no riots. The city immediately took control of the situation and acknowledged problems. The same did not occur in Baltimore.
Also it would help to have a Mayor that supported law and order instead of looting and rioting.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostBut MSNBC's Chris Matthews, of "thrill going up my leg" notoriety, has found someone else to blame on his show Hardball two days ago. Instead of being the result of failed policies that Matthews has given full-throated support of for many years, Matthews -- in an exchange with former Congressman Kweisi Mfume (who's district covered half of Baltimore) -- declared that right-to-work states are the real culprits. He accused them of stealing jobs away from union controlled Baltimore as declaring that this was in part the reason that the city is in economic distress.
So, Chris Matthews is campaigning for one of the Late Night Show slots?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I'm not sure this information is all that reliable because the other prisoner was partitioned apart and couldn't see Gray... so even if his account was true, he couldn't know for sure that it was Gray throwing himself against the wall and not someone else. I also don't see how that could have severed his spine."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Any autopsy reports yet? If another prisoner was in the van then I guess a rough ride is probably out of the question."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.
