But then again, as fascistic Police can be, it's only men and women, some are more responsible and conscious about their role and use, some just enjoy having authority and impunity and had nothing else to do in their life. We can't judge the entire police corp, tho we can judge people giving directives, using police to serve a politic of numbers and statistics etc...
Also I'm really not sure the death of Mike Brown has something to do with racism, we'll never know. But there sure is an ambiant smell of racism all over the place , because people are stupid and uneducated, it doesn't matter if they're cops or civilians.
Uh, cops are trying to protect people from looters and rioters. It's the police's job, and they are doing it.

While it's unfortunate that businesses have been looted and burnt down, there's no need to kill a young man.
Your innocent comment reveals a deep dangerous aspect of why things go this way : human life doesn't have much importance anymore, actually life in general doesn't have much importance.
Some people just can't take it anymore, and some only know violence to answer with. That's a sad observation, but we actually live in a sad world for most people.
Um, the kid got killed first, not the looting.
Violence is not the answer. Degenerating to looting and rioting is not the answer.

@ Gum
First point :
A few businesses aren't worth one's man life, as you said there are laws, expeditive death sentence for material damages ain't one. Plus, most business owner have insurances, and the state should pay for the material damages. It might be better than spending billions of dollars in weaponery and redistributing unused military artillery to local police forces.
Second point :
As I said, sadly some people only know violence to answer with. And for those who don't, courts and long lawsuits cost a lot of money that I doubt those people have.
@ Gorman
Yeah they did, but they did a sloppy job since it got worst, they used excessive violence and a man got killed, and it's not justifiable. It's explainable, but not justifiable.
Yeah and people generally riot for a reason, the kid's death is one more reason to keep rioting.
It sure isn't THE answer, but it's theirs, and it's pretty much legit.

It's not Walmart's fault the kid got shot. It's not QuikTrip's fault, it's not the beautician's fault, or ANY of the businesses that were looted's fault. Not a single business had anything to do with the shooting, so it's pathetic that the community is taking all of their frustration out on their OWN COMMUNITY. These businesses are going to pack up and move somewhere else, and then Ferguson is gonna complain about that, too.
What you don't know know is that North City is the most dangerous place in the country. Last year, there were over 13k robberies in the city, 3k assaults, 113 murders and 200 rapes. You have a 1 in 56 chance of being a victim of a violent crime in Saint Louis, and a 1 in 14 chance of being a victim of property crime, and 80% of that crime happens in North Saint Louis [Ferguson is in North Saint Louis]. I hear gunshots every day. Every day. It's become part of my daily life. So, the community was already shit. The dead boy is only an excuse to continue doing what already happens on the daily, only more widescale.

You said they shouldn't do it, not they should do it better.

Committing crime against innocent 3rd parties is not justified.

I'm not sure if deprav just hasn't caught on to the timeline of events, or is just using the pretext of riots to go on another one of his "fuck da police anarchy is da shit fck ur authority" rants.
