Riots in St. Louis after Police kill Teen

[Organized States]

That's not what a war zone looks like. Anyone who says that has no idea what they're talking about.


This is a war zone. Not roughed up suburbs.

They were firing rockets.

Still not a damn war zone, and it's called a tear gas grenade.

if the police had behaved differently there wouldn't have been riots.

there is such a thing as righteous anger. when the people have a reason to be angry the police need to do what needs to be done to fix the situation. they finally started that last night and this morning.

When I was 2 I learned a very simple lesson "Two wrongs don't make a right" The riots did nothing to help the situation and made it worse.

you should study up on the dynamic of rioting so you can understand what happened here.

Did you ever consider moving on to complicated lessons?

Are they going to deploy the National Guard?

No. Not with this president.

Did the rioting bring Brown back to life? Did it stop the cop from shooting him? No? Sounds pointless to me then.

What it DID do is demonstrate just how inept the police force there is, and that it definitely needs to be reformed.

Wasn't the point. The point was to pressure the police to investigate properly and fairly and to be seen to investigate properly and fairly. That's now happening.

Inept? Pretty sure they stopped rioting and are now attempting peaceful protests.

After the security was handed over to the State police. led by a native born son of Ferguson.

No. Not with this president.

It's not up to the President, it would be up to the Governor of the state. I doubt it'll come to that, they put the State Police (the Highway Patrol) in charge.

its a psychological thing. read up on it.

were you alive during the LA riots after the Rodney king verdict?

Yes, let's just ignore that it was a result of initial police usage of disproportionate amounts of force on peaceful protesters in the first place, and that this would have all been avoided if they were trained properly and knew how to deal with large protests.

Rioting came before protests.

I'm aware, but the President would be the one whom could declare Martial Law like during the LA Riots, and due to his comments, I don't think he will.

I am watching the press conference with the governor and the captain they put in charge of the police response.

they wont need the national guard.

>implying American events are viewed by the entire world.
Yes I was and doesn't effect me.

No it didn't. The protests happened as early as Saturday while the rioting happened days after.

So far, I'm impressed by this Captain. He seems to be doing pretty good.

Apparently the suspect was witnessed robbing from a shop before. And even though he shot him, there us no excuse to act uncivilized and burn down local businesses. Fuck the rioters.

The riots happened only after police used disproportionate amounts of force against peaceful protesters. Of course, this isn't an excuse either, but it's wrong to paint the rioting as nothing more than a response to Brown being killed.

It doesn't matter if someone was killed, even if it was a white victim, there is absolutely no excuse to riot whatsoever.

No shit. I JUST said that. I really don't see the point in just repeating what you've just read.

How about instead of telling people to read up you post it.
