    There is a civil case in Denver where the family was awarded 6million...family member was killed while in police custody

    There is only one thing that pisses me off about these cases...it doesn't necessarily hit the officer or the police dept in the pocketbook...the city pays it out of our tax dollars

    the sad thing is he was paid by the family so his testimony won't be taken seriously.
    Makes sense to me though

    WOW.:smt087

    American media coverage is just shitty. This mfer would likely have been convicted with this kind of testimony.

    And the prosecutor expected the grand jury to interpret the forensic evidence, and 9 of the 12 jurors were White.:rolleyes:

    When shit like this goes down part of me switches into that eye-for-an-eye mode.

    The fix was in with that jury makeup

    Basically, it's supposed to reflect the county and is premade (which is why they didn't make a special one for this case), which means that in any racially divisive incidents, whites will always have the upper hand and blacks will not have equal say

    Let that marinate for a minute

    My sentiments exactly.

    "The New Black"? Another example of a guy who has money thinking that makes him intelligent. Personal responsibility is important, but that has absolutely fuck-all to do with the lack of Due Process and Equal Protection that Michael Brown received. I don't care if he pushed the store owner and stole a case of Swisher Sweets or whatever the hell they were. Those acts are wrong but they don't carry the death penalty.

    I see where you are going with this but to be called for jury duty you must be a registered voter...more than likely the jury would be seated with majority white jury...just like all the white police officers

    You're right. No one has told him that he has no idea what he's talking about.

    The outpouring of solidarity around the nation and the world has been moving. I think it touches a deep chord among many people about abuse of power, regardless of race or nationality. I truly hope that the people of the world are able to bring their respective governments to heel and make them respect the will of all the people. Thanks for posting this picture.

    That's freaking awesome chessers

    And yes ore...the solidarity is incredible..it's literally worldwide

    Toronto pushing non blacks to the side during one of their events, is a slap in the face

    Many whites and others have been getting locked up , Maced, and tear gassed (ie doing more to advance the cause than a lot of black couch potatoes are) during demonstrations, alongside blacks, so it's kinda like wtf

    It's like I obviously see why they would do it (because it's perceived as a black problem) but then I see why they shouldn't (because police brutality transcends race and deals heavily with class)
