You need more facts in the sad accident when a driver died walking into a yellow flagged race......you need links on the execution of an unarmed black kid, and links on a man strangled by six police in NY.......that is the difference.....a level of intelligence which allows self evident truth to stand on their own merits.   The time for links and argument has passed, when unarmed black men are dying at the hands of police......it is time for action.....hopefully lawful and originated by the AG.   In the meanwhile you go right ahead making small talk with yourself about links and sworn testimony......few are listening, and most realize this country is in deep trouble, not from a black President, but the hate you purvey with your dog whistle tactics and clever avoidance of the obvious.  Injustice cannot persist in this country.   Justice has and always will prevail because Americans believe in our core beliefs that all we want is a fair game.

There are organizations dedicated to the problem.

How many times to you hear or see an eyewitness to black on black crimes? Black on black murder....is it accepted in the black community? Have you ever seen protests or riots after black on black murders?

In my experience, black people in general don't want to be involved with the law and are reticent about speaking up for fear of being arrested or harmed by police.  Do you think the witness I referenced was lying?  To what end?

The officer who shot Brown has been placed on paid administrative leave.

That is not what I asked....I asked, How many times do you hear or see an eyewitness to black on black crimes? Black on black murder....is it accepted in the black community? Have you ever seen protests or riots after black on black murders? ........protesting inner city  violence occurs when demands are put on the city officials to do something. Not riots and looting which has occurred in this situation.

Our sheriff department as pleaded many many times for witnesses to come forward. They will not.

Sad that you think that.  I make no distinction between gender and race.  My intent is to respect the dignity of every human.  Having said that, it is unfortunate that present day society has evolved to shape the way in which young black men see themselves - not as equally capable of learning, achieving, prospering as anyone else, but inferior, and unwilling to conform to the mores of traditional society. No, there are few young black men who cannot succeed in America (an example is sitting in the Oval Office).  I'm afraid it will take the collective force of the Black community to force these young black men to "conform", and stay in school, get an education, stop fathering babies, stop acting like thugs, put down the guns and drugs.  Only then will "society" accept them and offer them jobs, which will enable the young black man to join the ranks of the other successful members of American society. Until then, we'll have more of the same.

I can't really respond, because I can't decipher what your point is.

I'll just say that, yes there's a a distrust of the criminal justice system in general and of police in particular in many predominantly black communities, and with good reason.

There's a long history of profiling, harassment, false imprisonment, beatings, disparate sentencing, and even murder to contend with.

This is part of the narrative of being poor and black in America.

Then perhaps they should quit being part of the problem and become part of the solution by becoming the police, lawyers, judges, city officials, shop owners, etc. of their community and work with those officials instead of being the looters and hooligans that tear the city apart when something like this happens.

The survivors were not cooperating with detectives, authorities said. No one was in custody for the murders.


Come on.......no eye witnesses came forward, no riots, no looting, no community protests. WTH....was it just another acceptable restless weekend?
