This whole situation with the Michael Brown shooting is completely out of hand. As most of you know, Michael Brown. A young African American man was shot and killed by Darren Wilson who is a white police officer. Now, his whole family claims he was an innocent boy who was on his way to bigger and better things. I am not saying he wasn't nor am i saying he deserved this. The Media and his fellow friends are of course going to blame the police which is understandable. The Media is portraying Brown to be a perfect child by only chowing nice pictures of him as they did with the Trayvon Martin case. With newly released photos of Brown bullying younger kids and flipping off the camera and throwing up gang signs such as the notorious "Bloods" gang. Now Al Sharpton who is known as a "Civil Rights" leader, shows up and demands justice. There has been 5 straight nights of rioting, looting and violence in the streets of Ferguson. Now, before i get into this anymore. I am not a racist person nor am i saying the shooting was justified. Here we go, Ferguson is mostly a African American city with also Hispanics. As of a ratio posted online by Ferguson this year. It is 96.2% African American & Hispanic. Ferguson police force is mostly White with some Hispanic police officers. Whether the police shooting was justified or not, This rioting is simply not needed. Whenever a white police officer kills an African American man or woman. There is always rioting and looting and constantly saying that white people hate black people and all this race is brought into it. BUT when a white person is murdered by a African American person, it barely makes the front page of the local newspaper. This is all about race and i think it is completely stupid and not needed. What makes the situation even worse is that Al Sharpton HAS to show up and also cause more problems and demand "Justice." But he will never show up when a white person is killed. Al Sharpton makes his money by standing by a race and claims to defend it. He doesn't care at all. It's all about the money! My point being in this rant is that everyone blames white people and calls them racist for killing other races when there is same race killings all the time. Now as a United States Soldier, i see race as nothing. I am a white male. If i see someone as a threat to me, my family or my fellow soldiers, be it White,Black,Hispanic,Asian. I will defend it and that is what this officer did. Brown turned around really fast going to raise his hands and the officer thought he was going to draw a weapon.

I said African American to be respectful and not just say "This black kid" and cause more problems to a situation that is already delicate. If you're so annoyed by it i could change it but i'll just add that is was requested by you.

Not going to read the article that you linked but I completely agree with the whole racial thing..
White man kills black man = Racist
Black man kills white man = Not racist
White man punches black man = Racist
Black man punches white man = Not racist
Pretty much from A LOT of news stories I've read..
White man kills black man = Racist

Oakland wrote he robbed a store? they said he just got into a confrontation with the police and was shot? but the kid had no gun, so why was he shot.The video was released today or last night. He robbed a store, but the officer stated he did not know that Brown was the robbery suspect. He stopped him for J walking

BSM wroteYou make absolutely no sense. If you are also offended by it but why you would be is a little concerning. The correct term used in today's world is "Caucasian." So with that being said, would you also like me to switch it to that?conmaster550 wroteBSM wrote find it to be a little annoying that you said "african american" and then "white" what is the white guy? a martian...
