Political discussions about everything

Members of the Don't Shoot Coalition said at a news conference that they want to advance notice once a grand jury decides whether to indict Officer Darren Wilson, who is white, for the Aug. 9 shooting of Brown, who was black.

The coalition represents more than 50 organizations including union workers, anti-war activists and black empowerment groups. Its members are leaders of the protests that erupted across the region after Brown's death and have continued in the three months since.

"Everyone around the United States and much of the world is looking at St. Louis," said Michael McPhearson, they better get this one right or there will be hell to pay.

Ed Magee, a spokesman for St. Louis County Attorney Bob McCulloch, who is overseeing the grand jury investigation, met with McPhearson and attorney Denise Lieberman earlier Wednesday and said the coalition's request for 48 hours' notice of a grand jury decision is "being considered."

"After the verdict, no matter what it is, people are going to pour into the street - either in celebration or in rage," said Montague Simmons, chairman of the Organization for Black Struggle.

Organizers have created 19 "rules of engagement" the police must follow, including calls to treat protesters as "citizens and not enemy combatants."

Yeah, police shooting more blacks....that should stop any rioting.
He just said shoot any looters, so you're assuming the looters will be black?

I would call you a racist but you've actually did nothing more than admit you know the looters will be black...welcome to the real world!

"you've actually did nothing more than admit you know the looters will be black"-RealTool

It's a black town, dimwit. Nearly 70%.
If there are looters, statistically there will be blacks among them, moron.
You think they are going to bus in more white looters or something?
Only people who live there would be looting there, idiot.

In a town like Seattle, when there are riots, they are whites breaking the windows.

No actually it's mostly blacks doing the rioting while it's mostly whites protesting even in Seattle. Clown you made a Freudian slip when you pointed out it would be black looters when no one mentioned race, live with it dude, you called it right.

sillysally, there is no judgment of any kind in that phrase.

Any judgment you see is in your imagination.

If I were saying blacks have no respect for the law, I would have said blacks have no respect for the law.
If I were saying the police were criminals for enforcing the law, I would have said the police were criminals for enforcing the law.
I said neither.

I only said "police shooting more blacks" as YOU said you wanted to see happen, since 7 of 10 looters are likely to be black in a town 70% black.
So it looks like you are the one saying blacks have no respect for the laws, not I.
I say most blacks likely have about as much respect for the law as most whites do.

Clown it was you who pointed out rioters would be black in Ferguson. First of all why black, second why have to already reached a conclusion blacks will riot in Ferguson?

Personally I think blacks in Ferguson will handle the Grand Jury's findings with respect for the law and won't riot or take to the streets, they'll act like white people and just go back to work without violence or hatred just because they didn't get what they wanted. They'll handle it with dignity, just watch.

After 62 years I'm afraid you're confusing the "sparkling" conversations with the coruscating shards of glass which make up most of the discussion here.

And more likely you will be accepting the forum cafeteria senior special egg salad sandwich combo linked to CRAPPY Coca-COLA.

At a news conference this week, it was agreed the police will use a “demilitarized response” when interacting with protesters, banning the use of tear gas, rubber bullets and armored vehicles.
So if the police can't use tear gas, rubber bullets or armored vehicles to protect themselves it leaves one option, real bullets or the police just pack up and leave and let them destroy the city!

Yes, I have considered accepting the generous pension given by the forum to its esteemed members such as myself.

After reflecting on my 62 years on the forum, and the many sparkling conversations therein fomented, I am considering accepting the forum pension with its CPI-linked COLA.

When whites do it...it's protesting.

When blacks do...it's rioting.

Justme should think about retiring from trolling on the internet in grandma's basement and take up a career in real estate.

There should be a few "handyman specials" for you to flip in Ferguson.

:lol:

Duhhh...If its a group of 100's of angry blacks they will riot, destroy and steal everything they can get away with, if you get a group of 100's of angry whites they will protest and maybe even block traffic. Blacks will rip Ferguson apart, because they will be allowed to, it's owed them, sure a few liberal whites will join in prove they love blacks and to support them. Get the pop corn ready boys, it's going to be a hoot watching the zoo empty into the streets of Ferguson and surrounding cities then listening to them complain about the stores not opening when they need some skittles and booze.

Activists across the country met Saturday to map out their protest plans. Meeting organizers encouraged group members to provide their names upon arrest as Darren Wilson or Michael Brown to make it more difficult for police to process them.

In Berkeley, officials this week passed out fliers urging residents to be prepared for unrest just as they would a major storm — with plenty of food, water and medicine in case they're unable to leave home for several days.

In Boston, a group called Black Lives Matter, which has chapters in other major cities, is organizing a rally in front of the police district office in the Roxbury neighborhood the day after an indictment decision.

In Albuquerque, New Mexico, police are expecting demonstrations after having dealt with a string of angry protests following a March police shooting of a homeless camper and more than 40 police shootings since 2010.

Philadelphia police spokesman Lt. John Stanford said he anticipated his city will see demonstrations, regardless of what the grand jury returns. Holder promised swift justice against any officer who over steps their powers.

The New York Police Department, the largest in the nation, is "trained to move swiftly and handle events as they come up," spokesman Stephen Davis said.

In Boston, McCarthy said the city's 2,200 sworn police officers have dealt with a range of public actions and are ready for the protests.

DOJ announced they have several lawyers in Ferguson who will insure the civil rights of protestors aren't violated by the police.
