PNGFan, this wasn't for you, it's for some who can't see the Forest for the Trees. We're All in this thing called Life Together whether we like it or not. Together We Stand.
Many read these posts & take away the wrong perception. In the wake of all that has transpired, Families lives have been forever changed & turned upside down. This unfortunate turn of events has the Country on edge; at least those that choose to pick sides. Race relations in America are as bad now as it was for my Grandparents & Parents, it has found more clever ways to disguise itself through the years. You can't help Ferguson until you help yourself. SETX is the most Racist area I have ever experienced. I moved away for College as a young 18 yr old Black kid with all the stereotypical hang ups of other Races influenced by peer pressure because I wasn't raised like that. My Mother taught me to be respectful & treat others the way I wanted to be treated, but outside influences had an effect on me sometimes; young & impressionable. By the time I left for College the Real test was near. I spent my first 2 yrs in Temple JC, the transferred to Tarleton State Univ in Stephenville. Talk about culture shock. There was a Rodeo Team, Farm, & A Wrangler jeans headquarters so to speak. There were roughly 7,000 students, less than 100 were Black. I was a 6'5" 250 lb young man on campus, I stood out. I was subjected to Racism daily. When I reacted negatively, I got what I was looking for, more ignorance. When I decided to embrace the opportunity given to me because many Died so I could be there, my Life changed. I had the same power as the Freedom Riders. I chose to show people who grew up not seeing many Black people that I was just like them, just a little darker skin tone. As I engaged in more conversation & visited more places on Campus out of the Norm for Black Students, my time in Stephenville became much better. It didn't come without opposition. Some were down right crude, but like I said I'm 6'5" and walk with Supreme confidence, needless to say we came to an agreement thankfully. I've said All of that to say this. We must conquer Racism by getting out of our comfort zone. Quit worrying about what friends & family says. Racism is a form of a Coward. Many can't stand on their own, but will quickly Turn on their own. Live,Laugh,Love
God Bless Ferguson & America as a whole

Doesn't matter to the Black community. A white man killed a black man...end of story and he is guilty.....period.

And the media is going to continue to fuel the fire.

That's not true, Black people in Ferguson don't represent the entire Black community, just their community. Now my comments may not sit well, but I teach my kids that Officers are Authority figures in the Community, if stopped cooperate and keep the attitude in check. Even if you're right don't be disrespectful or combative. If this young man had cooperated & not resisted in some form, he would be alive today. I'm tired of people acting as if a few Black people are the spokesman for the entire Race. Just because Al Sharpton shows up on the scene means he is there for the right reasons. I think he's an opportunist, but that's my opinion. Now this is my opinion on the case, doesn't mean I'm right, because neither of us know the Cop's intent. Let's just wait for All the evidence comes forward. That's easier said than done for both families involved. Continued Prayers for both Families.

Again, just my opinion

So the preliminary autopsy results are released and all wounds to Brown were in the front. That kind of negates many of the witnesses that claim Brown was walking away with his hands in the air.
 
Then it shows the round entered near his right eyes but exited at the jaw showing that it was going downward and then it entered a shoulder. Since Brown was facing the officer and standing (according to witnesses), it tends to indicate that Brown's head was down as if he was leaning toward the officer. 
 
The autopsy alone means nothing but now that facts are starting to come out it seems to look quite a bit different than the claimed "eye witnesses". Apparently some of them did not see what they stated and merely claimed to be witnesses or they outright lied. 
 
It does not exonerate the officer as it still comes down to what the justifications were of using that amount of force but it sure shows another angle of the story. According to a report on CNN, Jesse Jackson calls the autopsy report "inflammatory". Why Jesse, because it might back up the officer's claim that Brown was coming back at him? 

They didn't loot or burn any buildings??? hmmmmmm

Do you think I could "ROAM" a black neighborhood at night? I agree Big Girl, I wished it was that way on both sides being able to just live and not live in fear. It is the world we live in.

I lived on a naval vase for a while, if I was out roaming around in the middle of the night, in uniform or not, you could bet money I was getting stopped. Our liberty briefs always have include don't be out late doing whatever, that's when stuff goes down.

Its not that it is illegal to be out late, there are just very few reasons to be out besides being up to no good.you don't go to the candy store at 2am.

Doubt it, this is the direction our country is turning. No morals.

Now we know where all the missing BISD money is going? hahaha

This will be all over the news for weeks, but 12 military veterans will commit suicide daily due to the lack of health care. You won't hear this in the news.

Heres my take and on fb i was called an idiot and that i only said this to look "kewl." Ironic huh?
I enjoyed most everything he did. Its terrible a man who brought so much laughter to millions over 40 years was this depresed. Depression is serious and it pains me to think people see absolutely no other way out.
My problem is with people stating "he is free", "hes happy or in better place now." There arent suicide victims. There are cancer victims and homicide victims. We cant glorify suicide like this and not expect the next person to not think its ok. Its the worst thing you can do to your family and friends. It leaves a shadow over your entire existence. While i hate to lose people to suicide i also cannot stand how everyone acts now likes suicide is just another way to end life that is almost becoming normal. Its not and we have to remind everyone its not the answer instead of implying after the deed is done while sad, everything ends up better.

I'm a CURRENT BISD employee, and I'm pretty damn bitter.
