Missouri violence outbreak after non-indictment of police officer who shot a black teen

[Viper0011.]

what a hypocrite. why dont you act on your own advise before giving others. SO STFU on pakistani issues and live in your society and preach them....

and how said American are not racist. and their is not racism in America.

I write about Pakistan becoming a more peaceful, advance, moderate and a country full of opportunity for its people. Here, you are preaching the US, but I've never seen you preach against getting people killed due to violence in Pakistan?

The only hypocrite here is you. When I see something wrong, I write about it. I don't tell others that they are racist or speak with authority on issues that I have the slightest clue or my judgement is based on second or third hand information.

You guys have to keep in mind...in dangerous places...dangerous things can happen. So yes probably the cops are more trigger happy in those areas.

Post 61 put the smack down on your argument well enough.

No American here ever said the US is perfect. But it is interesting that you expected perfection from US. It means that what happened still make US better than wherever you came from. It is also interesting that you ignored the obvious fact that the current US President is a black man. For the opposition of the President's political party, their favorite is also a black man, who is also a world famous physician: Dr. Ben Carson.

Black population is about %13-15 of total US population. Far too little to elect Barack Obama on their own. That mean there must be enough whites, Asians, and Latinos banded together to elect Obama. So where is that 'embedded' hatred for blacks ? More like in your mind. For decades, blacks are notable in athletics, such as Michael Jordan of basketball or Dominique Dawes of Olympic gymnastics, or notable in science such as Neil deGrasse Tyson in astronomy, or notable in academia such as Thomas Sowell, or notable in entertainment such as Will Smith, and now we have a black President. The black population alone cannot support these famous people. So who else contributes to their successes and notoriety ? White people, may be ?

Racism still exists in the US. But it is nothing to the scale you would like to be when you are so desperate to bring US down to whatever level of wherever you came from.

this is so lame, does that mean the police can shoot any one with "prior convictions of bad behaviour"?

prior convictions have NO relevance in this case, you don't penalize a person for the lame crime twice.

any references to victims physique dumb, I'll be happy to hear their experience if ever face an arrogant, trigger happy, pissed off skinnier than themselves cop who feels threatened by their size.

The issue on hand is killing an "unarmed" person who was not a threat to your safety. Period. Police is not supposed to judge and execute people, for that purpose civilized societies have "courts".

Well as much as I agree with you Bros. I must say you are correct, but not entirely. The U.S is not some east Asian country like Japan, south Korea or China who are unarmed/more peaceful societies . In the U.S many people are armed and its legal for anybody to buy/own a gun/be armed. So in this case the police reactions in the U.S will always be different from other countries I mentioned earlier. Yes the crime/incarceration rate in the U.S is quite high compared to even far far far more populous countries like India and China. So I think the problem lies in the system and needs a major review/overhaul. Since the current system seems to have failed. If this continues, then I'm afraid cases Luke this will only get worse, thus giving the U.S less space/credibilty to criticize/lecture other countries political/legal system of democracy/freedom etc. The U.S needs to get its acts together.

Finally, to be honest, I will agree that police officers in the U.S are quite aggressive to be honest, compared to our corps/kaw enforcement officers in the U.K who are soooo easy going so much that at times for me it feels like they are community officers. However, I understand why , since as I said earlier, the U.S gun/armed system is different from most countries. So reason their police/law enforcement officers are so aggressive/trigger happy. Can't blame them though. After all, each individual adapts to his environment.

Maybe the officer could have called for backup, used his taser or sprayed him. The officer stated his life was in danger and there is forensic evidence to back him up, on top of the contradictions in the witness testimonies.

As for Brown, he was a disgusting thug period. I have no idea why people are trying to portray him as a nice boy wearing those Beats earphones and even a "gentle giant", yes he has been called that by people...Did he deserve to die no, but if you live by the sword you will die by the sword.
