C'mon - This WOULD NOT even make it outside local media coverage IF it was a black cop or a white suspect. period. I must say I simply HATE this stuff - individuals and media groups making this solely a case of civil rights. Again what if the cop was black and the victim white? This happens many times in this country, and zip. But - no - Sharpton & Co arrive on scene and ramp it all up. Imagine if all the $$ spent to calm matters (...) and looted goods went to positive things. Oh, BTW, does it matter that unemployment is over 50% for those youth in Ferguson and surrounding areas?
I'm 66 - and it seems as if we have gained NOTHING in racial matters the last 40 years.
IF the policeman is NOT indicted - watch out - esp after the MO Governor promised a vigorous prosecution. Glad I'm in The Bubble here.
And - imagine being a cop in a 'difficult' patrol area, and having to think twice pulling out your weapon and shoot if your life is in danger? Should I or shouldn't I??? Or worse imagine being the wife of an officer knowing this potential challenge? Glad none of my relatives are in law enf...
