When Obama/Holder/Jay Nixon forced the Police to stand down in ferguson and allow the looting, it set a fricked up precedent for future riots, and were seeing the result.

For christs sake, we had a mayor claim the rioters could have an area and destroy it.

Well police making their own decisions has kind of led to this mess but they were clearly told not to intervene last night. I still can't believe they were being told to stand down for so long while that was allowed to go down last night.

I'm 43.

I've learned being subservient to my friends based upon my own opinions gets them and me nowhere. I've learned politics separated by necessity. That everyone inherently likes to win and that includes debating.

Don't hide behind your own opinion or true self. Or logic. Say what you believe and cull out and or learn whose thoughts are driven by a Facebook meme.

Be your damn self.

How bad would have shite gotten between the cops and African American community if they would have went in there and busted a few heads to prevent the destruction?

What if it would have only taken one arse whooping to deter the rioting?

I think he means exposure to more business. In his defense, he's a defense attorney.

This is usually the issue with most of the idiots that post regularly on facebook. I feel like facebook has moved onto an older group, I'm 26 and maybe glance at it once a week. I Would never look at it if my password wasn't automatically saved on my iphone.

I seriously doubt the people willing to loot and burn a store are worried about a misdemeanor arrest for curfew violation.

The only thing it does if give police legal authority to get people off the street. When they refuse they can be taken in.

All I'm saying is you deduce from words and opinion what you either agree with or vehemently disagree with. Don't sacrifice your integrity out of fear you're not of the popular voice. Over time, you're the winner. Trust me.

I know the theme today is that things are peaceful today but the crowd is pretty big. When the cameras are walking around I'm hearing a lot of anger and they seem pretty antsy. Doesn't seem like it will take much to pop things off again.

I believe you under estimate the intimidation factor of a few thousand national guards patrolling/posted up with automatic weapons.

The fact that the movie The Purge has someone been brought into this is even more ridiculous.
