*STATE OF EMERGENCY AND CURFEW DECLARED IN FERGUSON *
www.rawstory.com...
Here's a novel idea...don't police the protesters - police the looters/rioters. They stood by and watched the looting and now they are punishing all of the citizens of Ferguson for the acts of a few.
where were they last night when the looting and destruction was going down? If they care so much why werent they all standing guard with the store owners and protecting their beloved community? I know if i or a friend or family member had a store out there we would all be out there with ARs drawn protecting our investment.

The video and the article both address the fact that Ferguson residents came to the rescue of the business being looted. How can you indict a whole community for the acts of a few stupid people? I'd say that the residents of Ferguson have grown "a pair" they had to over the years, it's the only way they have stayed as calm and collected as they have living under police brutality.

Tell that to the cop who has death threats against him and had to leave the area and go under protection because he was doing his duty. If the cops intervened in the looting I bet they would have gotten attacked by the protestors. At least that might have been their concern.

So black people and white people have a community? Lol cmon man. Its a use of force dispute. Race is irrelevant.
All blacks are not like that. Dont let this turn you into a racist. Thats exactly why they put it in that perspective and used those words. They got you (msm)

'm not a racist. I don't believe any one race is superior than any other. But I do believe as a people black Americans have some SERIOUS issues they need to work out. I've heard all the excuses in the book. Corruption, poverty, white raciesm blah blah blah. It's BS! This is the 21st century not the 1950s!!!!!!! Look at the Asians and all the other people that come from that part of the world. They have their issues but they sure as hell have a different way of life and culture and I will say work ethic than blacks. So am I racist? LOL Pathetic.

I dont care where youre from. You have a racist perspective. You actually interviewed the MAJORITY of black people in st louis and asked what they think of Bill Cosby? Or was that another thoughtless generalization?
