"Paul said that had he "been told to get out of the street as a teenager, there would have been a distinct possibility that I might have smarted off. But, I wouldn’t have expected to be shot.""
It a message felt by a growing number of Americans.
Hey Rand... STFU already.
I wouldn’t have smarted off. I’d have gotten out of the street.
The target of the “militarized police” is any group that would resist the upcoming “crackdown” from the fedgov on any that oppose it.
Rand Paul - disgustingly blind pandering
Let me knock over liquor stores in peace man, stop treating me like a criminal or something
Reality check for Randy Paul: “More Policemen were injured in Ferguson, Mo. last night, than in all the last 4 previous nights.” Quote from a St. Louis DJ on FOX’s Gretchen show today.
Body armor protects the Police, - - - - DUH!
What supporter of small government could possibly disagree with this?!
Good heavens! Surely he doesn’t include things like Forest Service and HUD swat teams in this! Or the EPA? Or Dept of Education? Or, or, or ...
Message To Rand Paul: If black thugs were threatening to torch your car or your business — maybe with you in it — you might appreciate the presence of some scary looking cops nearby. While some cop-hating reporters might have gotten pushed around more than necessary, the main threat to freedom in the USA is from the leftist politicians that the black hoodlems are supporting, not from cops overloaded with weapons.
He's been fairly consistent on this message, just like his father who had a reputation for a similar focus, and it is appreciated. In fact, why doesn't every elected official fight for the same things, the things they swore an oath to protect and uphold? Curious...
None the less, he should have waited until more facts were known about this incident before giving up so much benefit of the doubt.
Right issues, Rand, but wrong example to use to talk about them.
This looks more like a time to challenge Holder's claim about our fear to talk about race by identifying and helping each other out of this trap.
Our evermore progressive GuvCo needs to end its subsidizing its subtle slavery via a steady paycheck for nothing but bad behavior, excuses, high self-esteem and low expectations that its fatherless affirmative actions have socially engineered.
Devilishly clever the way it divides US and makes us fight each other and hate ourselves.

WASHINGTON — Nearly two times a week in the United States, a white police officer killed a black person during a seven-year period ending in 2012, according to the most recent accounts of justifiable homicide reported to the FBI.
On average, there were 96 such incidents among at least 400 police killings each year that were reported to the FBI by local police. The numbers appear to show that the shooting of a black teenager in Ferguson, Mo., last Saturday was not an isolated event in American policing.
The reports show that 18% of the blacks killed during those seven years were under age 21, compared to 8.7% of whites. The victim in Ferguson was 18-year-old Michael Brown. Police have yet to identify the officer who shot him; witnesses have said the officer was white.

A Discussion On Race, Crime And The Inconvenient Facts
By John F Gaski
Posted 08/26/2013 06:40 PM ET
“About 90% of interracial violent crime in our nation is committed by blacks against whites. The black-on-white murder rate in the U.S. exceeds the white-on-black rate by about 2.5-to-1. The black-on-white assault and battery rate exceeds the corresponding white-on-black rate in this country by at least 10-to-1. “
Federal Statistics of black on white violence, with links and mathematical extrapolation formulas
Statistics are meaningless when those in charge and their complicit media seemingly want a race war.
