    I hope so, but for the looters, they don't want facts. That want anything they can use as an excuse for criminal behavior in the false name of "injustice."

    I think you give the protesters too much credit, the facts have been out for a while in other cases and you still to this day have idiots chanting "hands up, don't shoot"

    The facts in the Michael Brown incident are out there in the public domain -- hasn't stopped the ignorant masses. These protesters aren't willing to read all the facts and details -- they just want to protest, b!tch and moan, continuing their pity party.

    Here is a clear case of the officer who was clearly in danger and did what was needed.Yeah there are a lot of people protesting that this guy was killed i think there are reasonable protesters and bad one that will stop an think about what's been seen on the video and see that this was justified.

    At a certain point, people lose trust in the police/justice system/government regardless. Clearly these people have passed that point.

    Did you see on the video how these young people approached the police cruiser right as it pulls up? Complete disrespect for law enforcement in this community. It was a hostile situation before any words were even exchanged. Sadly, these protests have legitimized hostility towards police. It makes policemen's jobs that much harder and more dangerous. You also get the type of reckless bravado that the deceased Mr Martin showed. This community has deep problems that will take generations to fix.

    What would you say caused these problems in the community? Genetic predisposition?

    A culture among within community that openly expresses hatred towards police is the #1 cause. Other causes include poverty, lack of education, poor role models, lack of family values and family structure, and lack of faith.

    Plus if he's talking about Trayvon Martin what reckless bravado did he show when it was Zimmerman who approached him even knowing that Martin might've been dangerous and had been warned not to approach him.

    What caused this poverty, rebellious attitude and a lack of family structure? Genetic predisposition?

    You raise a valid question. Researching this in any objective manner would be dismissed as racist, so unfortunately, that work is unlikely to occur. But the problem is not regional or even national -- it's global. So pointing to any type of domestic police oppression is flawed. I think cultural influences are the primary cause. Misplaced priorities are other contributors.

    What caused those poor cultural influences to develop? It was a response to the oppression that blacks have been faced with.

    Unless you believe it's genetic predisposition. I'm not saying there is a correct answer.

    FV Santiago being walked right into it. LOL It's hilarious for the usual suspects to claim such and such issues are to blame for certain problems and then have them go completely go blank when it comes to the root causes of those issues that are to blame.

    Fortunately DCkid played along and gave the answer that was being fished for. Clearly all of the problems of the world are caused by "whitey" holding people down. We've figured the problem out, now all that is left is to find a "final solution" to that problem.

    Are you talking about white people, mexican people, black people, etc... Because you pretty much just described every poor community out there.

    Below is an actual tweet from an anti-police protester:

    "if police officers fear for their life every time a teenager points a gun at them, maybe they shouldn't be cops. #AntonioMartin".

    How stupid can a person be?
