These photos are months late and everyone knows the peaceful protests turned into violent riots. You're not bringing anything to the table that the media doesn't want you to. Everyone wants to make this about race because of the actions of others, but they fail to see the greater objective. Which is to stop police brutality as a whole, not to just one race.

When did I try to make this about race? I didn't orchestrate the photos, I didn't tell who do be photographed. I can take the time to belittle and mock those who falsely use outrage and mistreatment, for their own selfish gains, while not overlooking or ignoring the root of the issue. Yes police violence is terrible and any time a cop brings back a body rather than a perp. should be looked at as a failure on the cops part, but that doesn't excuse the ignorance and maliciousness of the "protests"

God give that man some proactive right away.
. I hope you enjoyed your scroll down. yw.
I didn't mean you specifically when I mentioned the part about the media. I was merely speaking about the people who take what the media says as 100% truth. Also, you didn't show pictures of the protests, is what I was getting at. You are showing pictures of the violent riots that was only participated in by these thugs shown stealing from stores. I agree that it's ridiculous that there are scum abusing the death of a man to rob and steal.
Using, "protests" also insinuates you believe there are more people rioting than peacefully protests, which is wrong by a long shot.

Is it though, at least in Ferguson? Are there more people peacefully protesting than rioting? Do you have any stats on that(not that stats are really reliable anyway as they can be skewered in any position) I would imagine if you took all the people across the country who protested compared to rioted than that would be true, I find it hard to believe from just word of mouth that's the actual case in Ferguson.
I saw one protest the other day, not on news but on camera phones, where I'm sure the people involved thought they were peaceful but even they fail to realize blocking streets and prohibiting other citizens from using the road isn't really peaceful. Granted it's not rioting but actual peaceful protests are hard to come by. A good example would be the college students who were sitting in the grass around campus protesting and were maced, they still didn't react they just stayed doing their protests.

Ferguson is from Scotland, not Russia. Just sayin!
OT: It's a natural reaction when an innocent black young man is killed by a police officer. Naturally, black people will react violently to the cause. White people still cannot evolve beyond the 1960s.

They're being used and manipulated as ill informed political tools. Both sides are fighting straw men, meanwhile the media makes even more money and politicians gain the advantage of a tragedy.
Truly sickening.
Truly sickening.
Look at what Mike D Roberts posted to see my proof on the matter.
Also, I agree that blocking the streets and preventing others from using the roadways to spread their message probably isn't the best way to protest. However, I think they're going about it in a much better way than they could be. It's much better than some war against the police, and I'm certain no one is losing their jobs in the area.
