I'm smart enough to know the streets aren't made for walking in when the sidewalk is available, follow police instruction when told to get on said sidewalk and not to pop off cops, can you say the same?

I didn't think so... but keep making excuses for not following simple rules in life. Really hope that works our for ya.

Make sure you start a thread when he does one of those "Am I being detained" videos at a dwi checkpoint when he begins driving.

I'm sorry dude but i'm not just going to let you walk away from this that easy.
You specifically claimed that the pregnant woman was slammed to the ground by police. You clearly saw that the video did not show how she got on the ground but decided to use this terminology to paint the police in a bad light.


Fair enough. I don't mind being corrected. She was placed on the ground. I ain't painting the police in a bad light with this one. Like I said, for all I know maybe she DESERVED to be slammed down, even if she wasn't. All I'm saying is that the locals are going to see it differently and this is just going to keep the stupid shite going. And I'm just interested in the stupid shite ending.

It would also help if the cops were more polite. Instead of ordering, ya know pull up on the side and ask politely. It's amazing what a little politeness will do when the police are already feared in the black community. This wasn't an urgent situation... All he had to do was ask politely. Cops with a shitty attitude give the good ones a bad name.

Holy shite you're thick. Good luck in life you're gonna need all the help you can get with that broken thought process.

Streets aren't made for walking? Not sure where you are, but it must just be cultural thing in St. Louis then. People walk, jog, ride their bikes, play catch, do all sorts of things in the street. Hell, I even have a basketball hoop set up for my kid to shoot hoops in the street. And I'm far from alone. Regardless, I'd suggest that walking in the street even in your area where people only walk on sidewalks is hardly punishable by death.

6 month pregnant girl probably shouldn't be out rioting also, not a lot of good outcomes from being a part of a riot

It's not broken. It's a free man acting free. I submit that "obey the cops no matter what they say" is a broken thought process.

Ferguson's mayor? It probably wouldn't have made a difference. They treated it like a civil emergency. Cops from every suburb that had riot training were there.

this is the whole sticking point with me and your argument.
You know,I know,Everyone knows that the walking down the street did not directly result in the mans death.It was the beginning of a series of events that led to the altercation that caused his death.
Please stop using this line of thought to sensationalize what happened.
Please.

This will never happen and you know it...unless i stole the computer and milk. How can you compare this with an officer telling you to get out of the street?

most cities have laws against walking in the street...why not use the sidewalk? Why make walking in the street an issue? Were his rights being violated by being told to walk on the sidewalk?

Knowing that some cops suck? Not the best advice IMO

As you completely avoid the actual question of whether or not the police should be permitted to prohibit you from doing something that is otherwise lawful.

If y'all will drop the "obey the police and this never would've happened" (a ridiculous argument on its face).
