It isn't. It's just 'the press' hyping it.
I think.

OK lets wind this down a bit. Its becoming an issue beyond reality. So lets break it down. The ethnic community of Ferguson believe they are disproportionately discriminated against. There is a LOT of evidence to back this up.
The major issue here is police accountability. The police are TRAINED to kill people. My question is WHY. I recently watched a vid of a german officer being threatened with a guy wielding a machete. He shot him in the leg.
Its the perception that minority lifes are worth less that causes unrest. Address that then there is no issue.
PS RESULT EXPECTED WEDNESDAY

Really? I smell a bunch of thugs using any excuse they can to riot and loot which has lead the government to do whatever they can to stop these thug criminals because it's getting out of hand.
"Never let a good tragedy go to waste" they say. And what better reason to loot then supposed racism? Just like that guy in Katrina that looted cases of beer because "survivalism". Yeah... Right.

Justice for Mike Brown target list
What most of this list has to do with anything relating to this case is beyond me. It includes Boeing, Anheuser Busch, hospitals, churches, law firms, politicians, and much more.

However it won't matter after the decision has been made.

I am not sure you can say that because any verdict can be changed (by force if necessary) and if the backlash is big enough then they certainly won't wish to make the same mistake again.
Guns to protect yourself might be one thing whilst under attack but shooting people in the back ten time is nothing but an execution and the police simply cannot be allowed to do that without question.
I would prefer Hitler's brown coats to what the USA is now calling police because police in the US are killing even more people than in 1930's Germany and they tended to give people a bang around the head instead of killing them.
Look at the police all armed to the teeth and banging riot shields as people protested about the banks and tell me they are not out of control and need putting down a peg or two.

Yeah, and with politicians, and federal offices added in, if they go after those, it'll really get ugly. I hope to hell this is a fake list.
