Yes. Whether or not this was about race in the beginning, it has worsened racial tensions now. Whether or not brow was murdered, it has further divided the public from those policing them. Many people now do not trust the police, and this just furthers that distrust.

As a black man I would like you to stop referring to us a different race. We are human whether you like it or not.

Did I ever say you are not humans? This are the common way of referring to people of different ethnicity when talking in a political sense. Deal with it.

At this point I think you are just here to try and get yourself annoyed. Please look up the common usage of the term race in politics, as well as what ethnicity means.

Tear gas isn't considered a chemical weapon under international law.

Mind you, the police have been far too quick to resort to its use in Ferguson. But we shouldn't go to extremes and label that use something that it's quite clearly not.

Yes, it is.

This thread topic is not about me. I am still waiting for your source that
1 The cop murdered Brown
2 Brown was murdered due to his skin color

I am also waiting for you to tell me exactly what rights you think should be removed from the cop once you have proven 1 and 2.

You've been using the word racist throughout the thread, and now anyone who talks about race relations doesn't get to use it? No one here said anything about not being human; race, though it is a social construct, is something to be taken into account precisely because it is a social construct.

Target shooting, fucking duh.

Also, get the fuck back on topic; if you want to talk about guns, go to the gun thread.
