Ferguson

[tshile]

Yup, I turned on CNN this morning just to see how they're covering it and they're continuing to fan the flames.

This is why jumping to conclusions is dangerous. We're now seeing people that jumped to condemn the cop early pivot in many ways to try to excuse their ignorance, justify the actions of the community, or to try to keep the story alive. It's now about systemic racism from police, it's now about how it took 7 days to release the information (lol - you mean the people trained and responsible for doing a thorough and complete investigation doesn't behave like the media? you don't say...), it's now about why he shot him 6 times (the ignorance on self defense is astounding.)

So the improbable story of a young man in college fighting with a cop has become more and more likely. And the obvious story of a racist white cop that decided to kill a young black man is becoming less and less likely.

Go figure.

All these righteous people that love to opine with no facts will not apologize. They are completely ignorant of their role in tearing this community apart, they refuse to see how their bias has blinded them. None of them are going to apologize. None of them are going to learn *anything* from this situation. They'll be right back where they started the next time a white cop shoots/kills a black person.

It's a shame. This cop's career and life is probably ruined. He'll carry these false accusations for the rest of his life.

What's more worrying is the clear bias from Holder on the situation - his reaction is to say that the 'selective' release of information is 'troubling.' The lead person of the justice department has put on full display, yet again, that the color of people's skin is what matters most to him.

Yet it's white people that are racist and the cause of problems. Sure. Keep telling yourself that.
