If the peaceful protesters really were the large majority, they'd have been able to stop the "few" from destroying their community....but we all know that is backwards, I was just playing along with your delusion. Last night was almost entirely rioters and looters.
Oh yes of course. Those officers don't even have dash and or body cams but they can get information at rapid speed. And I'm sure everything went down how the police department stated it did... Lol. You're too gullible to run around here calling others stupid. Side note: I have some magic beans to sale your dumb azz.
No, they wouldn't have. If armed police and national guard didn't stop them, then a bunch of untrained protestors standing around with signers weren't going to do it. Except it wasn't.
Fox has the right wing faux outrage locked up, so CNN is pandering to the left wing faux outrage. People see what they want to see in Michael Brown and Officer Wilson.
They weren't really trying to stop them, their goal was to not have to kill anyone so they just let the animals be animals and destroy the community. According to the cops who were there, it was....but I'm sure you know better right?
Just one of many examples: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Most of the Ferguson crowd is stewing in the street. It's peaceful and pretty quiet.

Those accounts were from the witness testimonies presented to the grand jury that were aligned with the physical evidence, the police department didn't state anything.
Of course they weren't - it's not their job and it's not what they are qualified to do. They were peaceful protestors - their whole purpose was to NOT engage in violence, either with the police or with other protestors or anyone else. By your bizarre standard, the police don't care about the community since they didn't stop them either. Which is part of why people are protesting in the first place...

Lol. It's people like you that feel that we shouldn't have the right to protect what we work hard for and bend over everytime someone pulls out a race card. Screw your self loathing and see what this is really for.
Peaceful protest won't solve anything... And riots definitely won't solve anything. Those people are just up a creek without a paddle. Eventually the deadly abuse of the militarized police force will spread into other neighborhoods (back in the 80's they thought the drug problem would be confined to the poor minority neighborhoods as well). People will start to care once that happens but it will be too late to do anything about it at that point.

Yes, physical evidence gathered by whom...??? Being presented to practically an all white jury. I'm just not kool with police officers gunning people down in the streets. Especially unarmed people. It's cracking open Pandora's box and that's a box that will be hard as hell to close.
He stopped those kids because they were walking in the street. The information from the store to the police department to his patrol car probably wasn't transferred that fast. Even if it was he could have waited for backup. It's not like the "suspects" were running away.
