Ferguson Riots Resume After Two Officers Shot
So we should make things a lot worse to forget how bad things are? Maybe we should crash the economy worse than the 2007 recession so people beg for the 2007 recession. Or why don't we ban all guns so gun owners beg for the old laws back? Of course I'm being sarcastic, its an insane argument.

Ferguson Riots Resume After Two Officers Shot
Come on, it would be silly to think that race doesn't play a part in the discussion about police culture, specifically in Ferguson. I agree, being a cop is a tough and dangerous job. But you can't use that as an excuse for lack of action when the bad apples are exposed. http://www.vox.com/2015/3/4/8149699/ferguson-police-racist-jokes You can't tell me this shows that Ferguson cops are doing the best they can. "There were similar racial disparities in traffic stops. From 2012 to 2014, 85 percent of people stopped, 90 percent of people who received a citation, and 93 percent of people arrested were black. Black drivers were more than twice as likely as their white counterparts to be searched during vehicle stops, but 26 percent less likely to have contraband."

Well its not like there's going to be a prayer circle down the street from the looting. It was overwhelmingly peaceful at first, but it was escalated. Listen guys, we all support cops. That's why we're here. But bad policing exists; there's bad apples in every job. What's happening in our country right now is these bad apples are being exposed, and that is a great thing.

Don't let the actions of a few ruin your perception on an entire issue our country is facing. Violence against police is a TERRIBLE thing, any sane person can agree on that. Its just that in the town of Ferguson, the black population of the town feels like they are being oppressed and taken advantage of by the police. There's plenty of evidence to show that it is true. Look it up for yourself. Police statistics and leaked emails show that this is true. Look back through history. Anytime cultural change happens, there is bound to be some violence. And as for over-militarization, I think cops should have whatever they need. Its just that when they roll up to a peaceful protest in miliary gear as they do time and time again, it starts to make people a little weary. Also, there's this:

Only the violent protests got news coverage. The world is always bigger than the one presented to you.

Lets just clear up a few things: The protests have been mostly peaceful. The rioters aren't even from the Ferguson community The violent actions of a few mentally unstable people do not represent the overall message of the protests. The shooting of the police officers has been denounced by the protesters. Because of witness reports, it doesn't look like the shooter was even a protester. So please don't use this to belittle the importance of these protests

I don't even think you understand WHY people are immigrating illegally. How many illegal immigrants have you talked to?

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free," Those were words that our country was built on. When I see people trying to hop the border, I see tired, poor, and huddled masses yearning to breathe free. When you see them, you think of leeches that are coming to live for free and commit crimes. Our country was built by illegal immigrants. Personally, I think they did a damn good job.

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Do you agree with this?

Here is an unbiased source: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-american-flag--ban-uc-irvine-20150306-story.html It's important for everyone to calm down with their patriotism and try to understand some of the details. This decision was made my student representatives who voted to take down the flags of all nations in an "inclusive space" where all students are supposed to feel welcomed. This is how democracy works sometimes, it doesn't always produce great results. What is infinitely more disturbing than this decision is that right-wing groups all across the country are using the flag as a symbol of their hatred. So cut the bullshit and stop soiling the flag with the most un-American views possible.

non police cars lightbar
Traffic advisory lights are fine IMO. If a neighborhood watchman witnesses an accident I think its a great thing if they pull over and try to help, and a TA light would help them stay safe in the process. But when it comes to red and blue lightbars I think thats where the line should be drawn. Civilians shouldn't act like cops and cops shouldn't act like the military.

Homeless man shot by LAPD
Why is it that cops are always getting their guns stolen, or in every altercation they claim the suspect was going for the gun? What are their holsters made out of, play-doh? I mean if he had the gun then there's a very serious case in the cops' favor, but unfortunately the video is too far away and low-res to be able to tell. This is why we need bodycameras people! But sometimes it feels like getting into an altercation with a cop is automatically a death sentence, because there will always be the risk of the gun getting loose. Just based on the evidence so far it looks like a justified shooting. That is, and only is, if the gun was in the hands of the suspect.

The Young Turks did a great job at covering this. I invite everyone here to watch this video, the whole thing. This guy is well known for making sense.
