The only question is: When did civil rights violations go from carrying a penalty of ~10 years to death? (In the Liuzzo murder case, the perps got ten years each—the maximum penalty at the time, for civil rights violation)

How about ruining the lives of an officer and his family, along with falsely accusing him of murder?

Mr Constitutional Lecturer?

The blame totally belongs on Brown, his family, lawyer and the “community” Your problems are of your own making, and that’s they way it is, everywhere

> “What happened in Ferguson was oppressive and objectionable

The cop should allow himself to be punched in the head, disarmed, and then shot? Defending yourself is oppressive and objectionable?

Obama is a psycho. He spouts gibberish.

If the head of the ATF wants to ban things that pose a danger to police, he should probably focus on banning Holder and Obama.
number of police shot with M855 (armor piercing) bullets = 0
number of police shot due to Holder unsubstantiated claims of racial bias in the Feguson PD = 2 just now, and I think there were 1 or 2 before

If there was any substance to the DOJ report they would go after the city and police force under Title 18. They won’t because they don’t care about law and order, only propagating racial strife.

Really?? What I find “oppressive and objectionable” is the attitude and actions of many of the residents who live in Ferguson. They seem to believe that they should be allowed to do whatever they want.

Where did they get this attitude? Check your local schools.

If there is any truth at all in the DOJ report, then deal with it by existing legal means.
When DOJ and Holder chooses to foment riots instead instead of siccing lawyers, it tells me that the report probably does not have actionable substance.

The only person I saw violating somebody’s civil rights was the huge thug beating up on the tiny Indian shopkeeper.

Race relations are really going downhill thanks to Obama and Holder.

And, didn’t holder say something about not judging because the acts of a few? Why doesn’t this apply in reverse? Why judge on the acts of a few LEOs?

What “unarmed black teenager?” Any male, 6’5” and close to 300 pounds and that young and healthy is in no way “unarmed”.
If young Michael Brown had been walking along the street with a dozen or so National Football League linemen, he would have perfectly blended in.
In fact, with his size and appearance, he may actually had a potential future with the NFL.
A young man of his stature is looked upon the same as the young man who just happens to be 6’9” or 6’10”. A human magnet attracting the eyes of the NBA.

What happened in Ferguson was oppressive and objectionable

Since the minority population of Ferguson have been held down by the oppressive laws of the majority, perhaps all of the laws should be removed.
The good citizens of Ferguson can enact and enforce any laws they see fit.

With so many aspiring honor students, they will have few problems in their 'new community'.
In a short time the earth will be green, and the air pure!

For there will be nothing there.

The "journalists" of today are of very low quality.

The sensational headline is the most important part of reporting.

I am in the St Louis area. Jamie Allman discussed today on his morning radio show and last night on his TV show that in Ferguson a white person is more likely to be arrested for a traffic stop than a black person. According to the former police chief, the DOJ statistic did not look into the nature of traffic stop arrests. Apparently, 70% of all blacks arrested for traffic stop has outstanding warrants while the number of whites with warrants was far less (missed the number). Factoring in for warrants, a white person will more likely be arrested for a traffic stop than a black person.

No, he spout Blackish, Lord Foulis concerned only with muslims, hispanics, blacks queers and chicomms. In that order, if you don't fit into one of those peg holes you better have a sh!tload of money in an outstretched hand.

Obama’s reaction to the intent of murdering the two police officers was as bland and impassive as when Obama told the nation of the decapitation of an American by Islamic terrorist and he went to play golf right after. No problem… Nothing important happened that will disrupt Obama golf routine.
