I'm white and live in a very poor community with about a 70% black population. Thanks.JC29856 said:
You're 100% correct....not the fucktard part but the directive to not jaywalk.
What do we come away with....don't be black while jaywalking in a predominately poor "black section".
Oh yeah and don't steal or smoke weed when you're 18.
Im good, are you? I live in a very wealthy white neighborhood where cops don't take jaywalking too seriously.
Your response has nothing to do with that idiot making the the decision to start a fight with a cop.
Oh, and I'm a fireman in the community I live in. So I know and am friendly with a shit ton of black people.Post edited by Last-12-Exit on0 -
Jimmy v...much respect, you at least have the dignity to respond, we may actually like each other in person.JimmyV said:
If I was close enough to push the gun away when he fired the first shot I probably would be dead or incapacitated after that first shot. It sounds more like there was a struggle for the gun, during which Brown was wounded. Whether the fatal shots occurred during that struggle or whether the cop acted illegally after it was reasonably concluded I don't know.

Thanks. I think many of us would like each other in person, regardless of political views. We all are fanatics for the same band to the point that we spend this much time on their message board. Gotta count for something.

Not to mention when i see your posts i think of the Jimmy Valvano speech on espn...ah fanabla!
If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special.Post edited by JC29856 on0 -

I'm so impressed with your heightened social awareness quotient. The rest of us clods have no idea of racial inequities as we bask in our white glory. Good for you for being so awesome.JC29856 said:

You might do well to read the first 25 pages of this thread seeing as you've joined the discussion kind of late and, if I might add, in subtly condescending fashion. You would note, among many things, that the people speaking against Brown's actions are doing that- speaking against his 'actions'. They are not speaking against his color of skin. People don't give a shit if he's purple- he just robbed a convenience store, ambled down main street like his shit didn't stink, rebuked a police offer's request to get off the street, got into a physical altercation with the same cop, tried to grab his gun, and was killed/slain/murdered/executed (choose whatever term you want) as a result of this.
I'm not offering excuses for Wilson- it's clear he lost control in the line of duty and I do think there needs to be a level of accountability levied here. But with that said, I just love the excuses offered for Brown's behaviour from those seeking to absolve him of any accountability:
1. Everybody walks down the middle of the street in the city.
2. The police officer never asked him nicely enough to get off the street.
3. We can't say he robbed the convenience store because he hasn't been convicted of robbery.
4. It was hardly a robbery judging from the video footage. And he didn't take much so it really shouldn't count.
5. Even though Wilson said Brown was going for his gun he probably wasn't. Why would he do that?

I would venture to guess that blacks being killed by police would go from every 28 hours to none at all...but that's just my guess.
Btw, why do i answer the questions put forth to me yet nobody answers my questions?
Do the facts scare you? Are they inconvenient? Isn't it my duty as an American citizen to be "aware"?
I blame pearl jam for my citizenry, i fell on love 5.13.92, i couldn't help myself so don't blame me blame them.
When you ask questions you ask like 20 of them in a row and most of them are so whacked.... Ain't nobody got time 4 dat.0 -
Again, here we go with speculation as fact. Gets a little old.
And to think that people don't give a shit what colour Brown was is naive at best.0 -
You'll have to be a little more specific with regards to what this 'speculation' you speak of is.dignin said:Again, here we go with speculation as fact. Gets a little old.
