    @1 He wasn't inocent, he was an escaping felon.
    Maybe the blacks should look at the lead up to this point.

    Lack of parenting, history of violence, lack of morals, values and respect of others.

    That's why that pos got shot! If he hadn't of robbed a store, assaulted the owner and been walking in the middle of the road telling people to F,,off he would probably be alive.
    Still the US media hype this up to make headlines stoking the problem.

    The other week we had here a article of how the Brazilian cops shooting dead 6 criminals of the favelas per day. I dont see Brazil complaining and fussing. It's as it should be. Pretty sure a lot of those are black and the cops are white.

    The blacks of America have being pandered for far too long, they have no respect they are poorly educated, just by listening to them on tv they think society owes them something and that the system is against them, they even have a black president and are still bitching as if it was the 1920s.

    Police officers who risk their lives to neutralize bad guys are heroes. But police who kill innocent people, including children, not deserve absolution.

    What do these protesters know that a full Grand Jury doesn't? The Grand Jury reviewed every detail, heard every witness and made their decision based upon due process of the law.
    Someone doesn't get their way so they cry and mock the legal system like children. Pretty sad.

    5. There is nothing to talk about about the case itself, the officer was doing his duty and defended himself from the criminal who had just looted a store. What makes you say who is guilty or not have you read the 1000 page verdict of the grand jury ??

    What is completely ridiculous is this anti white sentiment and media leftist narrative

    their have been riots in the USA since the sixties and probably longer,
    remember the watts riots,
    riots in most countries happen almost daily,

    its an internal problem that can only be solved internally,

    so I say, people like argies in glass houses should not throw stones,
    especially the ones that bounce back and lands on their own cities..

    7. You should listend and learn more

    In fact there is much in common between these black rioters and peronist subsidiary class of Argentina.
    In America its about race, in Argentina its about social class.

    However you take the Mapuche tribes and punteros didn't exist before the 2000s, after a decade of Kirchnerism and the left criminalizing General Roca, the desert campaing making them indian descendants feel as if they were legitimately disposed of land and wealth and making up excuses to blame their own failures on others, now there is Mapuche terrorism, land grabs etc.

    You do not patronize minorities... That is a very stupid thing to do and Anglo saxon and cultural marxist countries are specialists in doing this rubbish.

    BrasIDIOTA @5
    Sure the Brazilian police kill quite a lot.....but 99% of the shootings are good. It's unsafe to walk the streets in many urban areas, as violent crime seems to have become the 'way' to earn a living in this country..
    But pls give us your valuable opinion, since you are the expert, not only on Brazil, but now, also on the US of A : what do you think about the innocent victims of random street crime, and those that the drug dealers and organized crime kill all the time ?? maybe you think the criminals should be pardoned, true to the beliefs and policies of Brazil's Human Rights Ministry....
    C'mon Brazzo, here's a chance to make us laugh a bit more...

    Yes I did, You implied that these riots are traditional

    you thus interpreted it wrong,
    the point being supposed, that its not the first ,and wont be the last, and is not traditional,[ this was not the intention ]

    and riots seem to be the in thing at the moment, throughout the world,

    so not traditional but rather to often from a lesson, yet to be learnt..

    Why the hell is Brasileiro talking about Brazil? The article is about the US.

    The people that are still protesting are small in number and are professional agitators like “occupy wall street” and are most likely the same people.
    These “neveux hippies” are allowed to flourish under the “Professional Agitator In Chief Obama”.
    Once he's gone they'll go too since they won't have a voice or support.

    Every American likes and encourages Peaceful protests but civil unrest should be dealt with quickly and severely. SEVERELY, so to discourage others.
