no, i'm not going to bother. you can find all that out for yourself if you so wish. try google for a start. or write al jazeera, since they're the ones who used the line.

Might just be me, but if I found myself in a volatile place and time, and a person (any person) had a gun raised in my general direction, the last thing I would do is walk toward that person in a group and initiate a confrontation. But perhaps my sense of self preservation is stronger than some. As my Dad said, look for trouble and you'll likely find it.

By the way, al jazeera offers no statistics to back up the utterance of their opinion piece. If anything, there seems to be a lack of comprehensive data.

How's Al Jazeera's coverage of the Foley beheading? Think there's any bias there?

We have had quite a few biased links posted on this board but I vote Al Jazerra as the leader in the club house on anything related to America.

At least someone in the MSM is reporting this - finally.

The source also said the dashboard and body cameras, which might have recorded crucial evidence, had been ordered by Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson, but had only recently arrived and had not yet been deployed.

Too bad.

i don't know that anyone will provide data for an 'opinion' piece.


'Darren Wilson "Nearly beaten unconscious" by Michael Brown before shooting'

the comments by the guy who was with brown and said 'the door kicked back' and that the cop 'tried to pull brown into his car' told me there was a physical confrontation between the two.

it's too bad there were no dash and cop cams.

what they have to try to figure out was if that shooting was justified. and even if the pope came and investigated, and said it was, there's going to be hell to pay from some in ferguson.

President Barack Obama sent no White House representative to the memorial Mass held yesterday in Rochester, New Hampshire, for James Foley, the American journalist beheaded by the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) terrorists.

President Obama, however, did send three White House aides to Monday’s funeral for Michael Brown, the 18 year old who committed a strong arm robbery and assaulted a police officer.
