Part of a larger problem, read through the thread...if a surfer (black white Brown or Australian) was eaten by a shark every 28 hours you think it would draw attention?i_lov_it said:Would this be getting the same attention if it was a Black Cop shooting a Black kid or a White cop shooting a White kid I wonder.

I agree with you on this...I mean it would get SOME attention but not the type of attention we are seeing lately.Godfather. said:

I remember a time while fishing the Caribbean I caught a blowfish and this old man went running by me in the water with his trucks down at his ankles yelling blowfish blowfish!

The Balvenie is a little sweet for my taste. The double casking is fine with Aberlour but Balvenie just puckers me a little.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0

Way off track but I love Lagavulin 16 and Laphroaig. I love my peaty scotch.0

Lagavulin! The drink of choice for Ron Swanson! I tried it in Italy for the first time this summer.... Very good stuff!!!Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0

Fair enough! Seems to depend if I'm having a smoke with it or not. A cigar and Lagavulin 16 is great, but our after-hours work meetings are typically accompanied by exclusively Caribbean Cask. We seem to get good shit done with its assistance.rgambs said:The Balvenie is a little sweet for my taste. The double casking is fine with Aberlour but Balvenie just puckers me a little.
I'm also fairly new to the world of scotch - probably under two years since it stopped feeling like rubbing alcohol and started feeling warm and tasting delicious and complex.'05 - TO, '06 - TO 1, '08 - NYC 1 & 2, '09 - TO, Chi 1 & 2, '10 - Buffalo, NYC 1 & 2, '11 - TO 1 & 2, Hamilton, '13 - Buffalo, Brooklyn 1 & 2, '15 - Global Citizen, '16 - TO 1 & 2, Chi 2

I am sure many people would find this to be crass, but try tipping that bottle straight back one time and sippin straight from the mouth, preferably in front of a nice campfire on a cold night.benjs said:

I find that the notes of caramel, vanilla, and fruit flavors are more easily accessible if you DON'T let it breath in a rocks glass. Also, there's just nothing like passing a bottle around the fire, that's the good life. Send a little green around in the other direction and that's the GREAT life!Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -

Here's my take on this incident:
I personally do not think this is a race issue. Not all white-on-black incidents are race issues. I have conservative and liberal views, and on race I lean liberal, so I care about all individuals and the struggles they go through. But in this case, Brown, based on evidence, did indeed struggle with the officer.
However, I think the officer did not need to shoot the guy 12 times. He initially wounded the guy while they struggled in the car and then the guy ran (according to the officers statement). According to him, the guy charged at him and he shot him down. Yes, that is one way to do it, but was it his only option? He had mace. He could've blinded the guy. He also could've called back-up prior to pursuing. He stated that while fighting him off in the car, he described it as if he was 5 years old fighting off Hulk Hogan. If so, he should've called back-up. He is clearly not a capable cop to have handled this guy alone. His life indeed was in danger because he is a weak cop who decided to fatally shoot the kid to bring him down. Not all of us are strong people. I'm not saying I could've taken on the guy, but if I knew this guy was stronger, I would've called backup. Simple as that.
This case proves that there needs to be body cams on all officers
Race is a major issue in America. Minorities are still treated unfairly, but this is not a case that deals with it. Michael Brown was no innocent saint. He was a thug, or at least tried to be a thug. Sadly though, regardless of his actions and lifestyle, he was killed by, what I believe, poorly thought-out actions by a cop.~Carter~

i posted this previously...no mention about the contraband rate versus the arrest rate. although more white are found with contraband 34% compared to black 21% the arrest rate nearly doubles white arrest rate 5% to black 10%
