held back from... what???Ferguson wasn’t about race so much as it was about an obtuse and overbearing response that demonstrated a government which in broad strokes and vivid colors told citizens they will militarily respond, training weapons against a “foreign peoples”.
Using MRAPS and other military equipment against ferguson informed Americans they are mere prolitariats just who is in charge.
Geared up like they were an occupying force, training war weapons and scoped rifles meant for killing at 1,000 yards was offensive to most Americans.
It was apparent the men doing this were former military and use to engaging enemies in a manner suited for war.
There was no community interaction to ascertain who was leading this protest and set the terms of allowable behavior.
Further, shooting rubber bullets and tossing gas canisters directly at the feet of reporters was beyond simple policing.
Then arresting reporters in a business, who apparently gave permission for them to charge their equipment “behind the register line” and knocking their heads against a soda Fontain and again against a door jam was not acceptable behaviour.
Oh but, that’s okay because the officer apologized, though sarcastically.
Giving LEO’s war weapons, equipment and an imprimatur to behave as if they are at war isn’t something we should tolerate nor go unanswered without repercussions.
However, sovereign immunity gives them free reign to act not as policemen but, reinforces a collective attitude they can do as they wish “for the greater good”.
Were there blacks involved? Well, yes.
However, they are still Americans and should be treat as such.
were they rioting? Uhmm yeah and a show of force should have been present.
We can’t allow men with badges to act without restraint.
they are there to protect and serve, not play with their war toys.
This incident should be studied and investigated, with an untrammeled eye that seeks a more appropriate response, behavior and action for future events.
(Flame suit on)
It’s the Mexicans that they are pissed off about.
So. A race war is a foregone conclusion in the mind of the author? Time magazine? Nice of them to fan the flames.
held back from... what???Obama and Holder have sent the message that the black community will not be held responsible for what it does and the animals in it act accordingly.
I think a special tax on giant media companies should be considered for reparations for the poor because of the way that mass media has inculcated quick fixes, victimhood, laziness, disobedience, and easy sex and money for depraved stars as a bad example of how to live.

Will Lew Alcindor please count the number of white people in that picture and get back to us?

it’s about class warfare, and how America’s poor are held back... by Democrat Urban policies aka socialism.
Will a Republican conservative populist come forward?
So...it’s all about what I have to do?
Thug-Life Culture is the only thing holding Blacks down. It’s a self-defeating and self-destructive ideology that goes no where good.
makers vs takers.
look’at’the actionsof’rioters. just an excuse to take stuff. opportunists.
makers vs takers. and the takers elieve they are’Godly entitled to makers’ stuff.
doesn’t matter how hard you worked for your stuff. somehow ou screwed them out of their stuff, b/c as everyone knows the economy is a closed system and if someone gains,’someone else must lose. what bullshit.
these are people who don’t study or even try to do well b/c that to them is acting white. these are people who stay duped on the democrat plantation for promised handouts from othr citizens’ pockts and told they are virtuous because they’re poor. in itself being poor has no virtue.
no sympathy.

Hey Cream honey, you need to shave off about 3 feet if a race war begins!
Obama Holder Pelosi Reid etc. are of no help, they will get the votes of the disenfranchised and the only thing that will basically happen is government will grow, it will grow, it will have corruption and it will be dysfunctional and no one will pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
It’s reached the point that trying to interpret the drivel Time prints isn’t worth the effort. I have more important things to do - like trim my toenails.
Real helpful Democrat party wants to cut the percentage of the black population down to around 10% from 12-13% by making a bunch of illegal aliens citizens.
If this kind of crap gets near my store, the crowd will have to crawl over bodies to advance.
A mob is no more an army than a pile of bricks is a house.
