Here's a homework assignment for you. Find a black person, preferably male, of roughly the same Socio economic status as yourself and ask them how many times they been handcuffed by the side of the road and had their car searched. Compare that to your own experience. Report back.

You trying to say I've never been profiled? I have, by black people and cops but I don't dress/drive/act a certain way any more. I'm not about to say it doesn't happen to black folks more often than not. The particular instance that was described and I responded to was that a vehicle was profiled.
How about you do some homework and drive around in the car that was profiled and see how many times you get pulled over compared to usual.

I don't doubt it happens but you realize there are many instances where criminals also claim the same thing right?
I am going to catch hell for this but it needs to be asked. If a majority of blacks (guessing) feel they are being stereotyped (racially profiled) based on the minority of black thugs committing crimes why it ok for blacks to do the same thing to the majority of police for what the minority are doing? That doesn't seem hypocritical to you?

Has Michaels friend/accomplice explained how the officer put his hand around Big Mikes neck when Mike was standing outside the car and the officer was sitting in the car? Only thing I can think of is the officer is related to Stretch Armstrong

The officer may have been in an SUV.

Both are bad practice. One is done under the color of law. That actually makes it worse. P

If we can use that info against Michael brown, then IMO, people have every right to be weary of law enforcement here because of their history of injustices and harassments of black males.
How is using what Mike actually himself did comparable to stereotyping law enforcement? A person vs a group.

James Knowles
White Republican with a BA in poli Sci and a BS in justice systems and a Masters of Public Admin from UMSL.
He's 34.
It would appear to me (simplistically), that blacks in Ferguson do not participate in local elections.

Nevermind. Found him. Was wondering why I haven't heard much from him. So I searched. He's better off not talking.

Yes they do....a white dude.
Ran unopposed in his last election...in a city with 70% black.
Make your own conclusions.

I'm sitting in a diner/dive in Northern Illinois. And swear to God, this white dude next to me said "If them people had jobs, they wouldn't have time to protest." He apparently has a job which does not afford him the time for dental hygiene.

Yeah, he won't last past the next election. Claims there is no racial divide in Ferguson. Huh? Regardless of this case, he's smoking crack. Before everyone jumps me, racial divide doesn't mean it's one sides fault or the others, just that there's a divide. To deny that is assinine.

McCulloch is going to string this along. Doesn't expect to conclude GJ until October.
Should help Missouri's urban voter turnout.
