How many people have died?
In the typical fashion of most riots, which is the destruction of the city in which they reside, this isn't any different than any other riot. It's probably less extreme... Because like I said, how many people are DEAD because of these riots?
No one gives a fukk when college students riot on their campus, over a fukking football game. Or a fukking hockey game... Or Soccer
Like I said before, it's about bringing attention to the cause of the riot. Just about every riot ever in history has destroyed the area where those people live in.
Only reason why it doesn't spill into the white/suburban areas is because the whites and suburban a as a whole don't give a fukk about the killing of an unarmed black teen that was already labeled a thug without any proof of him being so. So blacks rioting in that type of area would be an automatic kill on sight... Most of us know that.
Honestly, wtf did most of you think was going to happen?

The American Revolution for starters
The Civil War...
When the government killed the Natives.
Numerous coups in South America and around the world..
Successful revolutions happen everyday, B. It's hard to succeed in the USA though. There's 200 million cacs and a government armed to the teeth with everything from automatic weapons to nuclear warheads.

This. nikkas in here talking bout going to war when we don't have the means to defend ourselves on their land. I mean seriously, we don't even have a militia in even 1% of our communities, but somehow we're supposed to go to war with white America?

What are you talking about? I never said anything about going to war. I just gave examples to the person who said violent revolutions or actions never succeed. Do they succeed most of the time? No. HAlf the time? No, but sometimes they do in history. You should learn to read before you quote me again. I think cops need more sensitivity training and cameras on their person. That's my solution.

I'm just saying that violent demonstrations and revolutions do sometimes work. Do they always work? No. Do they work half the time? No. They rarely work, but sometimes they do. I am not saying anyone should try to start a conflict with the government over anything. Just focus on peace and justice efforts.

I wasn't referring to you with that comment breh. I'm actually agreeing with you about going to war against the US in the US is a bad idea if we're not prepared.

Are you serious? Nothing has ever changed without violence. The civil rights movement was extremely violent. many people died. There were race riots all over the country.

I already know they're at war with us. What I'm saying is right now, black people collectively do not act like we're at war. We have no means to defend ourselves and we live our lives like everything is OK. Even the dudes saying we need to go to war aren't prepared. We have no militia and anything we would need to go to war with our enemy, we have to buy from our enemy.

Those riots weren't the catalyst for changing anything. They were a side effect of the mistreatment of blacks.
but seriously...how hard is it to take it out of your own neighborhood and aim it towards the one you got the true beef with?...take it to Officer Wilson's neighborhood ....take it anywhere but your own black business' and properties.....why haven't we learned from the Rodney King incident??...
fukk all that, Let them take their anger out how they want to, and u stay on the sidelines if you not gun support. We don't to hear ur opinions, this aint the time to be positive, this a time for violence and action.
I support them, if they want to go home i'm with them, if they want to kill I support them, I have no reason to sit in my comfortable home and tell them what to do or what not to do.
So I support them 100 %

I agree. we are sitting ducks right now. Lot of folks still sleep and not paying attention. when the housing market and economy crashed blacks were the first people they blamed. If shyt ever hits the fan these kumbiya ass negroes will find out why these cacs bought all these guns..
Breh, I feel you, but I consider it a temper tantrum when it has no goal in mind. When I have an issue or problem, I analyse it, weigh my options and consequences, and put a plan into motion to change the situation. Any other response is irrational, impulsive and ultimately self defeating. Looting, burning, destroying, vandalizing, etc., does nothing to aid our cause. If anything it quite possibly sets us back, especially if there were other ways to proceed on this one. The other thing is, signicant evidence and witnesses don't support the narrative that his hands were up and he was surrendering. The more I read on it, the more I think the cop should have waited for backup and then make an arrest. As big as Brown was, it wasn't like he could hide and not be apprehended somewhere down the road. In that regard, Wilson's actions remind me of Zimmerman being told to stay in the car which had he listened, could have prevented a whole lot misery. Still, I think a lot of people are looking at this through emotion, and not looking at the evidence. Like the other thread I posted on where someone said a Black man went to prison for 35 years after killing a police dog. I imagine plenty of people really believed that too, but a simple examination of what he was accused of, and ultimately pleaded down for, demonstrated otherwise.
Still, I completely agree with you on the history of Black people and the police. The police have a major credibility problem, so bad that when a case like this comes up and the evidence supports the officer, it's hard to not still be suspicious. We've had 400 years of the okey-doke, and maybe this Ferguson situation is just more of the same, but I'm not convinced at this point.
