Victor Davis Hanson: Ferguson Postmortem
PJ Media ^ | August 24, 2014 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 08/26/2014 8:26:35 AM PDT by EveningStar

The backstory of Ferguson was that out of the millions of arrests each year only about 100 African-American suspects are shot fatally by white police. And yet we were falsely and ad nauseam told that Michael Brown was proof of an epidemic. There may well be an epidemic of blacks killing blacks, of African-Americans engaging in the knock-out game against non-blacks or flash-mobbing stores. But as far as rare interracial gun violence goes, in 2014 it is more commonly black on white. Ferguson is an anomaly that did not warrant hundreds of reporters who gladly skipped the real dramas of a world on the verge of blowing apart as it had in 1939.

In short, the only reason Ferguson erupted was because the police officer in question was white; had he been black and shot either a white or black suspect, there would have been no civil unrest, no visit by Eric Holder, but instead, liberal calls to ensure due process and not to rush to judgment.

I don't think they're ‘picking’ losers on purpose. It's all they've got. Police departments bend over backwards to ‘help’ the black community - often at the expense of policing other neighborhoods.

Cops aren't out to ‘get’ black males. That's another lie the black community uses in their endless pity party to shake money and guilt out of the culture. Truth is that any cop that shoot a black criminal faces this kind of second guessing... and easily could lose his job. Liberal elites hate cops.

Trust me, if 'the community' had a case of a sweet young hard working black man - beat up by a white cop - it would be all over the news for a year.

The MSM is LOOKING for ONE case that fits the meme.

Begging for one case that fits the meme. The MSM's willing to lie and suspend disbelief for ONE case that supports their lie - their meme... One case in the WHOLE country is all they want. One case... And they can't get it. Because it's NOT HAPPENING.

And here they are stuck with another black thug. Look at the video of Brown and the store clerk... Brown's a bully. Even liberals can see that - and they hate it.

White liberals elites would just about pay a white cop to beat up a black man. It' the Gold Standard of the race card. It's the liberal elite's excuse for hatred of middle class families. It's how they stay in power.

NBC was willing to push forward the lie that Zimmerman was 'white' hoping beyond hope that they had a conservative white man who killed an innocent black man. A liberal wet dream... Of course, Zimmerman was brown - and the candy eating criminal wannabee wasn't 'innocent' but NBC did everything they could up to and including doctoring tapes.

If it weren't for blacks believing all this bullsh*t - liberal elites would be out of power... So, liberal elites will keep looking... destroy lives in the process - turning black adults into dependent whiners... terrifing beat cops and community watch groups.. but they don't care. They don't care who they destroy because without black rage, the white liberal elites are OUT OF POWER.

"the entire event covered just a few blocks"

Yup. About 6 blocks on one street in one podunk little muni that otherwise is a mixed-race working-class neighborhood that I would never have mentioned to an out-of-town friend as a place to avoid before. It was a stage set up so the cameras could see everything - a made-for-tv riot.

Brown was walking down the middle of the street under the influence of marijuana and so he was lucky that he was not hit by a car. He struck an officer — no one denies that — which in itself is another felony.

They don't deny it. They just pretend it never happened.

I disagree.. there is alway a reason a “role model” picked for you.. there is always, for good or bad, an agenda in that pick..
Thug are picked for black role model an marter because someone want black to be thugs.. it the same reason that other black role models that would be postive are dismissed as tom or acting white.

It is not unlike the media picking Republican candidate's that are rino
