Gets little attention as being unlawful. its just predictable now and socially acceptable. I for one, and as a law abiding American, am sick and tired of it. did I rob Best Buy when juice got aquitted?

For a minute there I thought you were talking about the settling of the west...puppylove_sugarsteel said:it's a green light to rob, plunder, burn the villages, rape the horses and ride off on the women?

Everything always turns into a racial issue, but the real issue here is the nationwide militarization of local police forces. There is no more friendly neighborhood cop who protect, serve and help their community. They are being taught to patrol their streets like it's Fallujah. I read stories every day of police shooting unarmed citizens for asking why they're being arrested then lying that they were fighting back, tasering 70 year old women, shooting dogs just because they're there, tear gassing obvious peaceful protestors. It's sad.

Now more than ever..fuck the police. Race is rarely the issue. These assholes get off on playing urban soldier.

Have you seen parts of St. Louis?DugtheDoog said:like it's Fallujah.
Joking aside, St. Louis is consistently ranked as once of the most dangerous cities in the US (think it last won the "prize" in 2010). And if you really think those people rioting really care about the 18 year old kid that was shot and if you think having a 'friendly, neighborhood policeman' around the last couple of years would have stopped it from happening than the genetic pool hasn't done you any favors. Its a cultural, historic, systemic problem that is not being addressed by anybody.
I won't even ask where you get your reading material. It happens...police are people too and by definition are anything but perfect. But its not nearly as frequent as you'd like to believe and is nothing compared the daily incidents of things being done against them. And it sure as hell isn't an excuse for mobs rioting, looting, and doing all sorts of other things.DugtheDoog said:I read stories every day of police shooting unarmed citizens for asking why they're being arrested then lying that they were fighting back, tasering 70 year old women, shooting dogs just because they're there, tear gassing obvious peaceful protestors.

Swat teams busting up people's homes to arrest for minor offenses happens a lot as well. -
I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but there are more than a million police officers in the US (if you believe wiki). Continuing on the made-up wiki stats there are something like 2,000 incidents a year of legit police brutality in comparison to 13 million arrests last year (according to the FBI website). And cop cars now have cameras rolling 24/7 to record everything, police are fitted for cameras, etc., etc.MikeDamone said:

It happens, but it isn't the reason for rioting or people acting like morons in St. Louis. -
