    Reminds me a lot of Rodney King in LA in 1992.

    I really have to wonder how much of this is true anger at the annoucement and how much is just a reason to loot and get as much as they can while there is an opportunity.

    Haha, they seem to have gotten more casual over the years. Funny they march where there's no black people.

    you said obamacare will kill more people than bush's wars (over 6500 americans and over 120000 iraq/afghan civilians.) i lost two cousins and more than a few good friends because of his admin's lies. one of them killed himself because our country doesnt give a **** about our veterans. i couldnt get healthcare because of old conditions. i do now because of that law. i've lost weight, i feel much better now, and my doc is cool. i hated the law when it was passed but many of the things i was told werent true. ive also heard that about 5-9 million adults who were like me with no insurance have it.

    hows that a bad thing? i dont get how obamacare kills over 130000 ppl. i dont get why your complaining about paying more if the kids of his church have healthcare. you pay more, they get to live. i dont get why my taxes and my friends and families died for selfish whiners like you. we live in this godamn country together. if we all began picking and choosing what to spend on and who to spend on pretty sure this place will fall apart.

    I think his weight/health will come into play. And let's not forget that he didn't cooperate when he was told to turn around. Force can then be used to effect the arrest.

    Murder is off of the table (IMO). You can't prove the officer intentionally killed him. Negligent murder is the best I think they could do.

    black ppl look up to obama. for good or bad if ppl look up to you than its your responsibility to use that power for good. i dont like him injecting his celebrity into this issue either. but i can also see how ppl would say he's out of touch and not being a leader if he didnt speak out. if your a president everything you do or dont do will be used against you. cant please everyone.

    Regardless of how bad Obama wants us to live in socialism, we are not a socialist country. It's no one else's responsibility to take care of anyone else, to "pay their way." If you're an able bodied adult you should be able to take care of yourself, and get on your own insurance plan. Medicare/medicade and disabled veterans have their place.

    If you followed the entire thing throughout the night, I think at the very beginning there were just a lot of spectators and 90% of them weren't doing anything and were actually stopping people from looting and vandalizing

    but I think at this point most of the people have gone home now, all that's left are idiots trying to cause havoc because they are idiots

    I totally agree please don't get me wrong i'm just asking a question how did he get hit on that side of his face if the fight started in the truck. I don't think he set out to murder anyone that's never been my stand.Until they arm the officers with body cameras there is always going to be issues.

    i think your a scumbag pos and i dont agree with any of the bs coming from your mouth, but i will die to protect your right to say that bs. that's our 1st amendment. that's what our superme court said in 1969 on this. its patriotic to let flag burners burn the flag because its their free speech.

    its also patriotic to criticize your country. take my mom for example. if i seen her do anything stupid, other ppl are too polite to call her out on it. i will call her out because i care and i love her. other ppl dont so they stay silent when she gets so piss drunk and shooting herself up with dope and then wanting to drive home. they tell her lies even though she's killing herself. if you really love your country, if your country is in trouble from enemy within and around her, you dont ****ing say nice things. you speak out. you burn the flag if necessary to get her attention.

    you know what else is socialism? heroes like my cousins and friends fighting wars overseas and protecting your ass from the enemy. you should be able to take care of yourself no? interstate highways where your ass doesnt pay enough in taxes for all the damage you do the roads. all raods should be toll roads. i could go on. where the hell do we draw the line between socialism and govt services that people need? also isnt socialism where the govt controls and owns the companies? last i looked, most businesses were not govt owned.
