We will be very lucky to avoid a full-scale riot in Ferguson, Missouri and all across the country.
This is all the result of irresponsible behavior by people like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Eric Holder. It is disgraceful. There should be an indictment in Ferguson. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and Eric Holder should all be indicted for inciting to riot.
The narrative generating outrage in Ferguson is based on deliberate lies and distortions. They are not just lying about what happened to Michael Brown. They are lying about a non-existent epidemic of white offices shooting unarmed black kids for no reason. The facts are quite the opposite. The following CNN article, clearly designed to provide evidence of a problem, instead documents the lack of a problem:
http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/14/us/ferguson-police-involved-shootings-killings-data/
Police only used force in .04% of police calls and in 99.6% of those, the amount of force used was reasonable. The “partial” federal study mentioned in this report reviewed 45 million police calls over the period from 1991 to 2000. CNN is concerned over the sparse amount of data, but 45 million police calls seem to be a pretty good sample.
Odds are that police are even more careful today with regard to excessive force, because just about everyone has a cell phone capable of taking videos. The FBI reports that there are about 400 “justifiable homicides” a year by law officers in the line of duty. Since there are over 765,000 police officers, this means that police shootings are extremely rare. But that did not stop CNN from publishing the follow quote as if this somehow has merit:
“I think there’s a (data) gap because people don’t recognize that this is an epidemic in the country,” said Meanes, who heads the nation’s oldest and largest group of African-American lawyers. “It”s not a black and white issue. It’s a blue issue.”
Pamela Means leads the National Bar Association’s “War on Police Brutality.” She is targeting 25 cities and 25 states with open records requests investigating every case where an unarmed person was either killed or injured by police while in custody. Yet the only two cases mentioned are Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. If she had better cases, we would know all about them.
We cannot, we must not turn over our justice system to out-of-control mobs fueled by lying racists with an agenda. The people who will be hurt by this are not angry white cops; it will be the majority of black Americans who just want to live in a safe and security neighborhood just like everyone else.
There is a problem in Ferguson and in a lot of other places. It is black on black violence. People like Officer Wilson are not the source of the problem; they are part of the solution.
Why is the FBI predicting violence? Because they know the grand jury is not going to indict Officer Wilson. They know this because they know there is no evidence supporting the wild unfounded accusations by people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. This is so very sad and so unnecessary. No one wants racist white cops shooting unarmed black kids or anyone else. Oops. I got part of that wrong. That is exactly what people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson want. They feed off black outrage and if it doesn’t exist in the real world, they will try and invent it. It is long past time someone started standing up to them.

When I was a kid, we were taught to respect the Officers of the law. Not to argue or disrespect them. Do what they said immediately and never resist a lawful order by an Officer. Society has permitted kids to do anything they please without regard to Parents, teachers or police. They defy all authority and are paying with their lives for disregarding civil rules of law and reasonable behavior. Soon we won’t be able to hire any police at all. Who wants to tackle a job as dangerous as that if you have no written in stone authority in the eyes of the “opposition”
