Holder Admits "Hands Up" Was Lie

As it stands, we have good evidence that Brown committed criminal acts, as well as a firm conclusion from the Justice Department that there aren’t sufficient facts to support a criminal indictment against Wilson and that the officer is neither guilty of a civil rights violation nor culpable under federal law. As far as the state goes, the evidence shows that he did what he had to do.


But this conclusion shouldn’t lead anyone to dismiss the discord in Ferguson, which was fueled by stronger forces than Brown’s death. The reason it happened as it did—the reason the anger spilled into protests and rioting—is because of a long history of police mistreatment and unfairness. Journalists covered much of this in the weeks and months after the August protests. But a new review from the Justice Department goes beyond what we know to expand on the Ferguson police practices. The department didn’t just discriminate against black Americans; it targeted them for fines and fees and knowingly violated their constitutional rights.

That is a matter of opinion. I would totally disagree with that. Has there been discrimination against black people in this country over the last 60 years? The answer is yes. But is that the reason those people were rioting, looting, and burning down businesses? Absolutely not! The people committing the violence were just opportunists using the Brown shooting as an excuse to behave bad and loot. I don't think there were too many law abiding citizens (who have been treated unfairly in the past by the police) that were looting and burning down buildings.

No race hates and is biased more against black people than...black people.

Unfortunately that's not a divisive issue so it's hardly addressed by the controlled liberal media and the one 'conservative' media outlet that has its content looked over by the Saudi royals.

But oh well as long as white women can be outraged about something on the internet...that's all that matters.

I am in no way, shape or form talking about the looters. I have no use for anyone who breaks the law.
what I'm discussing are those who live in the town, who have dealt with this issue for years.

I think how the police there handled the protests is a clear example of them doing their level best to escalate things in a hurry. the attitude in that department and city towards it's black population has been that way for years. resentment has built over a period of time, and they finally said enough.
