Chanting “hands up, don’t shoot,” marchers walked under a police escort, pausing in intersections for bullhorn-amplified speeches as they wound their way through Capitol Hill and into downtown Seattle, ending at the U.S. District Courthouse at Seventh Avenue and Stewart Street.

Organizers, including representatives of the Seattle King County NAACP and United Black Christian Clergy, said the march was to demand a federal criminal indictment of Darren Wilson, the officer who shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown on Aug. 9.

While the march was peaceful, the rhetoric was fiery, as demonstrators carried signs declaring “Jail Killer Cops” and “America Hates Black People.” Speakers decried what they said is deeply entrenched discrimination in law enforcement and government.

Here's what Ted Nugent said:



I swear this guy has to be a FReeper because I'm the one who came up with the nickname for Al "Not So" Sharpton.

What about feeling pain for the police officer that had to put this piece of crap down. His career is shot, his personal life is beyond repair and all he did was his duty. And very few police officers that have to kill someone in the line of duty ever gets over it.

Seattle, a community of nut cases, where the chief of police marches in gay rights parades.

A community where people freely urinate in the gutter before boarding a bus.

The liberals and race baiters don’t care because the policeman is white and shot a black man.

If the policeman in this case were black, this would never have been in the national news.

If the cop had been white and Michael Brown had been white, again, would not have rated news coverage.

If the cop had been black and Michael Brown had been white, it never would have been newsworthy.

It’s all about race and perceived injustices.

Of course—it’s all about Seattle and its pain. There are so many nut jobs in Seattle, it’s unbelievable. What is that Lenin statue made out of? Lead?

The only pain they have in Seattle is when the Heroin withdrawal kicks in.

Nov 5th was the day after a major election when POTUS Obama who could have completely dissassociated himself with racial strife in Ferguson Missouri and condemed it. Had instead our POTUS met with the Ferguson protest group and offered support for protests by telling the group “To stay the course.”

That “course” was generated by Obama’s use of the “Bully Pulpit” and through surrogates in the black media and the MSM. Promoted the fiction of an “unarmed” shot in the back ( in the Ferguson case while surrendering with hands up as opposed to the Florida’s episode “because the “kid” was black and killed by a white man named Zimmerman) afro american teen just walking down the middle of a street..

Think there’s any connection as to what our fearless leader is doing creating racial strife and any attempt by congress to restore constitutional government (ie impeachment) ?
