Ok, let's put the generalizations aside. Mike-Mike, as he was known in his neighborhood, had both his parents around to raise him. The statement their attorney was that both struggled to keep him straight and going to school.
He graduated and was about to enter a vocational college to study mechanics or some such. Besides how many black men wind up in jail. Please - it's the chicken or the egg syndrome. What came first? Poverty begets desperation, which begets violence. Give people no way out and see what happens.
Still, with all of that, the streets taught him a different lesson. I'm not excusing his bad or criminal behavior, but whether he stole cigarillos or jaywalked (the police still can't get their story straight) he didn't deserved to be executed. The officer behaved like judge, jury and executioner - this land stands for something better than that. A world war was fought over that.
And the idiots who riot and destroy public and private property should be jailed like any other criminal. Those few idiots, like the idiot police officer, make the upstanding citizens look bad. One bad apple could rot the bunch.
Recently saw a video of a great grandfather, in San Bernadino, CA, who was knocked unconscious and robbed while filling up his truck on his way to work in the wee hours in June. Upon studying the video closely, both assailants were wearing hoodies, covering their faces, but one wore shorts and the other failed to cover his hands.
Both were white.
The elderly gentleman, 78, suffered a broken nose and a concussion. He was white. White on white crime, it's an epidemic.

Would be nice if black parents would teach their kids not to commit so many crimes, and violent crimes , in the first place.
Of course, 2 parent homes do a better job of that than 1 parent homes, and sadly, far too many black families are lacking in that dept.
Thanks LBJ and the Great Society !

Sorry 1kiki, I have a document that has all those statics but can't cut it paste it here. I wasted enough time trying and I have no intention of retyping it. I also have a graph I created but that will not cut and paste out of word either.

Funny thing.................whites can walk around with AK-47s strapped to their body, full bandoleers, and no one stops them, not even for a price check.
They walk into Wal-Mart's and the like and no one bothers to check their credentials.
Does that seem right to you?

They do this every time they point to statistics that show a disproportionate amount of time a black is confronted for different reasons that whites. It is why I suggested to Fern that every time someone is shot we should print the face of those responsible for the shooting. If we did you would see a white face on occasion in a sea of color. If we showed their victims they to would represent a sea of color. So why then does the left complain when blacks get checked for guns more than whites?
What the left does from the safety of there community is deny the behavior within the community that perpetuates the police behavior adding to the problem. I would ask them how are the police in their neighborhoods. It would provide for and interesting discussion because I sure the police there are great.

Or, you could have clicked on the link I provided:

where you could also have seen a chart which indicates most white women would be better off as black men:
and found a link that further elucidated the effects of discrimination, in this case on account of sex:

BTW, you can always google (or ixquick, startpage, gibiru or duckduckgo). You can find many facts you can then post.

I really did like Scrubs. Thanks to Netflix, I've been power viewing all 9 seasons. Great show.

That is what I have that I could not post. Only mine is a bit more complete. I have all kinds of those stats posted by the census bureau.
Do you know what it means in reference to what I was posting? Nothing at all. My continued point was, it stays that way till the black community decides to change. But of course you knew that and have no argument against it, so you take the tact of suggesting I dispute they are handicapped or treated unfairly.
What you need to learn to do is, if you can not make an argument against what is being posted for or against, you should not get evolved at all.
And once again with the bitch, bitch, bitch and no offered solutions.

Then why steal the cigars, so brazenly and use force, on a store owner ? That seems out of character for a kid who seemed, by all accounts given so far, to be doing things the right way.

Kid, big or little, black or white, wanders down the middle of a street in the middle of the day, and a cop tells you to get to steppin' for the sidewalk, you'd best listen. What took place after their initial encounter, remains to be revealed. I doubt very much that a 6 year vet on the police force, seeing a black male in the street, decided " Yeah, time to shoot someone " and then proceeded to execute young Mr. Brown.
If that's how it went down, then we have a severe mental defect, and not your standard ' police brutality ' case.

Only for the rioters, it's many bad apples. And many more, who stand by and just let it happen. It's THEIR FREAKING NEIGHBORHOOD !

"My continued point was, it stays that way till the black community decides to change."
You mean, till they decide to provide themselves with better schools? Hire themselves into jobs? Give themselves better wages? Build and staff better hospitals? Create themselves better public funding?
You mean they can do all that? Shit man, why did nobody tell me? ... What are you smoking dude? Or are you just blowing crap out of your privileged white male ass? (as always)

What many here forget Rappy is that once a cop says do something and you don't, he can't walk away. Some here will say he can but if he did he would lose all authority in that neighborhood. Anyone who knows anything about the street knows that. If the kid is being harassed by the cop he can file a complaint but he can't refuse. To many people think when told by a cop to do something it is time for a debate.
