All that this is doing is perpetually picking away at a scab... You folks don't want any kind of healing, that's your business

Damn near every other nation on the planet has mixed race populations and somehow they do not have anywhere near the discord that exists in the USA.

I'm trying to think back to when the leader of any other nation ever weighed-in on one of these circumstances and stated that if they had a son, that son would be like....

Initially, Brown was 'murdered, execution-style'

... Apparently that is one of the many facts of this case

Oh no!!!!... Really the opposite.

It's about love, and how the POTUS reaches out and expressed that love during an unfortunate time.

Now that we have this outta the way, any thoughts on the discord thingy, or is that not material or important?

Well, obviously he changed his mind about how he died several days after his death and died differently.

Since when is race a criteria for killing a guy?

That's not what we were discussing.. Blacks in Ferguson, MO are complaining they are singled out by the police and pulled over and harassed more than whites..

I was just pointing out there there are 2/3 rds more blacks in Ferguson, MO... which would be a pretty dam good reason.. sort'a like rolling the dice.

As far as shooting a kid, who just committed a robbery, attacked a police officer, and tried to get the officers gun... I don't care if he is pink, blue or green.. good riddance. The office was justified.

You have to remember, in Canada police very rarely get killed, and when in Canada an officer stops you they are polite, and aware..

In the United States the police have to assume everyone is armed.. they have to be forceful in their commands, and yeah you get the brave kid, probably high, thinks he can beat everyone up... then attacks you..

I'm going to take the word of a police officer, over the dead kids buddies who probably helped him commit a strong arm robbery.

You need to move and live in the tough areas of the USA..

I have driven through them and lived there.. you don't think I have some idea what i'm talking about.. ???

(P.S. I've gotten out of jury duty more than one by saying, "the police never tell a lie." You're excused.)

Robert Arnold shot & killed James Whitehead a couple years ago. Riots: none. Looting: none.

Did the cop know about the robbery? Two different events - and it's pretty obvious why the robbery tape was released

That is why there are 16 million illegals living there and many more each day trying to get into the USA..

Just, just horrible.. :)

The kid tried to get the officers gun.. who cares if he know or not..

You come at me and try to take my sidearm, guess what.. I'm going to shoot ya, and if you're a big guy and on drugs and keep coming at me, I'll empty my clip into you.

A Cop Is Killed Every 58 Hours in the USA

Everyone hates cops, until they need to call one...
