A bunch of high school students who are clueless protest, and some cops get struck by a car.
the cop was on a bike, and hit by a non protester that was speeding. It had nothing to do with the protests.
I actually just went to the gym, as I live about 4 blocks from the high school. Some local kids were in there discussing the walkout. They were really excited about it, and I used it as a chance to tell them to get civically involved, and not just do this once and let it be.
Yeah, I am a fricking nerd, but the manager of the gym echoed my comments.

Perhaps you did this, but people way too often skip to the glories of "getting involved" or "having an opinion."
Tell those kids to go to fricking school, work hard, learn everything they can, and then assess these issues in depth and decide for themselves how they feel about what happened in Ferguson. Then they can form a strong opinion and get involved.
One of our biggest problems in the information age is that everyone can access the conclusion and nobody gives a shite about finding out where it came from. All opinions, no knowledge. Hell, the entire college liberal arts experience reinforces this.

Would the cop have been there on a bike if they weren't "protesting"?

If you really cared about their future you'd explain to them how stupid they are full falling for this Micheal Brown horseshite.
