I am sick and tired of hearing blacks bitch yet do absolutely nothing beyond it. I am sick of the media intentionally creating misleading scenarios in order to stoke the problem to the point of negative consequences. I am sick of people who bitch about the law yet don't bother to take the time to educate themselves about it.

The point of my rambling us that it isn't always racism, I'm also not saying that it couldn't be part of it. Sometimes it's just a numbers game.
It found that the combination of Ferguson’s focus on generating revenue over public safety, along with racial bias, has a profound effect on the FPD’s police and court practices, resulting in conduct that routinely violates the Constitution and federal law. The department also found that these patterns created a lack of trust between the FPD and significant portions of Ferguson’s residents, especially African Americans.
The department found a pattern or practice of racial bias in both the FPD and municipal court:
The harms of Ferguson’s police and court practices are borne disproportionately by African Americans and that this disproportionate impact is avoidable.
Ferguson’s harmful court and police practices are due, at least in part, to intentional discrimination, as demonstrated by direct evidence of racial bias and stereotyping about African Americans by certain Ferguson police and municipal court officials.

Another example is "between 2012 and 2014, black drivers were twice as likely as white drivers to be searched during traffic stops, but 26% less likely to be found in possession of contraband."
Going by that logic, the white citizens would've been targeted more.

If "black lives matter", why do they kill each other so much?

So it seems some blacks want to be part of a civilized society but without following any of its rules. That is the general theme of all this BLM stuff. They want to have their cake and eat it too.

And none of them tryout to be police officers, or fail the standardized tests, and then b*tch endlessly how all police officers are white and how they patrol crime heavy neighborhoods more (well duh).

If you're black and don't like it in America, then go to Africa. Think you'll fair better there and enjoy yourself?

And let's not forget something. The BLM is a Soros pet project. He funds the "movement" and wants it to spread chaos. So don't be his useful idiot. Don't be his SLAVE, my friend.

No matter who he was or what he had done, the fact remains an unarmed teenager was killed in the street. It's NOT okay. Not ever.
A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument which was not advanced by that opponent

Go figure the newly appointed judge in this case (June) is a black man.
