If a non-black said it looked like a set for `Planet of the Apes` out there all hell would break loose, but this guy can and does

Awesome video - maybe 47 million will view - it should be plastered all over. 

Of course a non-black person making such a reference to planet of the apes in the context of black people rioting protesting, or whatever is rascist, because it is.  The context and source of a comment is hugely relevant on whether its rascist.  For example, a black person referring to another black person as a nigger, whether its a friend, enemy, family member etc., is generally not a rascist comment.  In some ways, rascism is like pornography - you know when you see it.

Remember, this video is for black consumption.  Whites who are jumping up and down over it are doing that in pretty bad taste.  Wonder what he would do if some white folks came up behind him and starting doing the Amen, haha.

RACIST!

(What you don't know is that he's a well known pastor and if a crowd of white people did that he would be waving his hands in the air saying AMEN!

Well now, dude sure knows how to run his smack. No cut and paste there.

I grew up in Miami, saw riots several times over a black person getting shot by the cops under dubious circumstances.

I understand that tragedy evokes emotion. I will never understand how rioting and looting are an appropriate expression of indignation.

There are several cross currents in this case. I mean have you checked out the cops in this town? Chief seems to be some kind of caricature. Does he wear mirrored sunglasses? How did this small town police department afford all the military type weapons? How many times have stories changed from the cops and the witnesses?

What about the timing of the release of the store robbery.....errr... I mean shoplifting?

Even the movies and tv can't make this shit up.

Was this dude really "executed"? Wonder what the cop who shot him has to say?

Criminals will exploit a crisis. That has no real beating on the shooting. Maybe the guy shoplifted. Maybe he was an asshole. If it was OK to shoot 18 year olds for being stupid none of us would be here.

Assaulting a police officer is more than stupid......you put yourself in a life and death situation and unfortunatly, death was the result......and i dont think it matters what color your skin is, the result would have been the same.

Edit: This guy also showed a pattern of thinking he is above the law and that he is ENTITLED to do anything he wanted. He walked into a store and took what he wanted, he walked down the middle of the street disrupting traffic (which was the reason he was confronted by the police) and then he decided the police did not have the right to confront him or question him resulting in the confrontation that ended his life. Remember deputy Pill?? Could this have been another situation?? Police need to make a split second decision.....

So if this kid was going for the officers gun, you are saying they have to WAIT unitl he gets the gun and points it at them before they can shoot???

Military type weapons???

 

 

FERGUSON, Mo. — For four nights in a row, they streamed onto West Florissant Avenue wearing camouflage, black helmets and vests with “POLICE” stamped on the back. They carried objects that doubled as warnings: assault rifles and ammunition, slender black nightsticks and gas masks.

Those are your military type weapons???

When the protesters refused to retreat from the streets, threw firebombs or walked too close to a police officer, the response was swift and unrelenting: tear gas and rubber bullets.

(military tear gas??? military rubber bullets against firebombs)

 

To the rest of the world, the images of explosions, billowing tear gas and armored vehicles made this city look as if it belonged in a chaos-stricken corner of Eastern Europe, not the heart of the American Midwest. As a result, a broad call came from across the political spectrum for America’s police forces to be demilitarized, and Gov. Jay Nixon installed a new overall commander in Ferguson.

Because it looked bad, there is a call for the POLICE to be demilitarized??? their tear gas and rubber bullets taken away???

 

“At a time when we must seek to rebuild trust between law enforcement and the local community,” Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said, “I am deeply concerned that the deployment of military equipment and vehicles sends a conflicting message.”

AS DOES SELLING IT TO CARTELS??? I would say it is not about sending a message to violent protestors but about enforcing the peace and saving innocent people, WHAT conflict of messages... the message is we the athority have the power to keep you from killing and terrorizing the area... NO conflict... thats the message...

Department of Homeland Security grant money paid for the $360,000 Bearcat armored truck on patrol in Ferguson, said Nick Gragnani, executive director of St. Louis Area Regional Response System, which administers such grants for the St. Louis area. Since 2003, the group has spent $9.4 million on equipment for the police in St. Louis County. That includes $3.6 million for two helicopters, plus the Bearcat, other vehicles and night vision equipment. Most of the body armor worn by officers responding to the Ferguson protests was paid for with federal money, Mr. Gragnani said.

Helicopters, 1 armored vehicle and body armor, night vision equipment??? hardly MILITARY TYPE WEAPONS...

While the major Homeland Security grants do not pay for weapons, Justice Department grants do. That includes rubber bullets and tear gas, which the police use to disperse crowds. A Justice Department report last year said nearly 400 local police departments and more than 100 state agencies had bought such less-lethal weapons using Justice Department grant money.

Again hardly Military type weapons

The grants also paid for body armor, vehicles and surveillance equipment. It was not immediately clear if those grants had paid for equipment being used in Ferguson.

 

The military also sent machine guns, armored trucks, aircraft and other surplus war equipment to local departments. Compared with other urban areas, however, St. Louis County has received little surplus military equipment.

He is paid to get it right.
Seems from what I have heard, he did not.
An unarmed kid is dead, community in flames.
Time will tell, truth will out.
Maybe.

"A purported conversation captured on a YouTube video apparently shot in the immediate aftermath of the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown has a possible witness saying the unarmed 18-year-old charged at the officer who fired the shots that have led to more than a week of sometimes violent demonstrations in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson.

Amid angry condemnations of the police and pledges to move away from the mean streets of Ferguson, one man describes what he saw as he witnessed the shooting. He seems to describe how the 6 foot, 4 inch, 300-pound Brown tussled with Police Officer Darren Wilson and charged him, an account that may corroborate Wilson's story and cast doubt on claims of other purported witnesses who say Wilson shot Brown as he ran away, his hands in the air."

Purported apparently possible....

But it's a fact he was shot 6 times. We'll see what the investigation reveals about the circumstances.
