The shooting of the black man by the white cop here in SC was definitely unjustified.

Fortunately, the black population of Charleston literally told both Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to stay out of this state bc they did not want the same results as Ferguson or Baltimore to occur in SC.

They did the same after the church shooting in Charleston.

You're giving the protesters way too much credit.

That's actually brilliant, nothing drives these types away like job recruiters.

That's a pretty good way to keep them from coming out.

Which sums up:
Hands up, don't shoot
Black lives matter
The world will end if we don't sign the Iran deal
No justice, no peace

I'm sure there are others

The ironic thing is that all of the protest mean more money for the police officers. The city is broke, business have left, property values are down. But the police are making bank with OT

quote:

"It has been so difficult for the image of Ferguson this past year. It has been damaging to the economy,” he said.

With an annual operating budget of around $14 million, Ferguson's deficit is forecast to increase to $3.2 million in the fiscal year ending in June 2016. That is up from $3 million the previous year and less than $1 million two years ago.

"We can't stay in deficit forever, we may have to start laying off employees," said Fletcher, a former mayor.

but overtime pay in the final five months of last year went $222,000 over budget; another $500,000 has been allocated to overhaul the department.

Willful ignorance and a radically unreasonable disposition describe the blacklivesmatter/SJW movement for me

I also understand that CNN isn't most Americans. Most Americans of both persuasions think he was just a thug who got what thugs get

the words "social justice" were very popular with The Bolsheviks

What helped create the Ferguson situation was there was a particularly infamous Race Agitator there, on the scene, that helped create the whole "Hands up, Don't shoot" meme and helped Dorian Johnson create the 100% false story that got propagated by the press. The meme spread like wildfire by a very, very willing press that desperately wanted this type of story, and a community that had some built in animosity towards the police, and were obviously looking for their WORLD STAR moment.

And here it is.

Soros invested heavily in Ferguson, which is why it became the #1 rallying cry.
