    The Governor has already called out the National Guard,I don't think there are calm heads anywhere near Ferguson,bunch of wind bags fueling the Fires and if they don't prosecute that Cop they will burn it to the Ground

    Around here we seem to have a lot of shootings. A guy I knew from HS was shot by the local PD while threatening them with a stick outside his house at night. They were aware he had serious mental issues,his wife had said as much when they called the PD about his bizarre behavior.The young officer said he raised the stick and pointed it at them.
    I could go on yet the real problem seems to be lack of good judgement in general. Crazy people using the police as their suicide card,while others are seemingly shot down by police w/out a care about the situation or consequences.
    Lets hope that cooler heads will prevail,violence only begets more violence.

    Cooler heads? Ridiculous assumption to say the least when you have aholes like Al Sharpton race baiting and organizing post Grand Jury protests "regardless" of the outcome?! I am by no means a racists but I absolutely do see a contradiction in justice. The Organization for Southern Justice seeks out, goes after, and punishes those who violate civil rights. They nearly single-handedly toppled the outside of prison growth of the Aryan Brotherhood. And yet, they do nothing to stop the race baiting of people like Al Sharpton. I find racism in any form to be abhorrent. And yet those who claim to be victims of such don't make it easy to sympathize. Al Sharpton has basically stepped into the shoes of Martin Luther King; a fact that even the King family finds disgusting. The justice systems lets this man slide.

    I'm hoping you're not comparing him to Al Sharpton. He was hardly a race baiter.  Plus, I'm reasonably sure the black community never learned a thing from him when it comes right down to it.

    Peace

    The sad part about racism is how it can always be justified by one person or another or as means to control others thru their fears & ignorance of other cultures and belief systems.Sort of like brainwashing people. Which the media does to the degree that people let it.
    The fact is people will take advantage of other people irregardless of skin/belief/sexuality and use the "racist/belief/sex card" when it suits them to their advantage.Leaders or followers alike.

    The Presidents actions those are his to decide upon,whether I like them or not. I am loyal to my country and my leaders not when it only suits my political taste or racial bias,always loyal.The president of the USA is not a chump or any other racist sort of slur or description.He is our President & I for one respect the man who has the ability to achieve his dream and become the president of this country. While I do not agree with a lot of his actions, I will stand ready to defend him and my country from fascist tyranny & anarchy.

    As for the immigrants they have their rights too, and treating them harshly for the crime of trying to better their lives is one thing that bears close examination in the mirror.Better to be too merciful rather than too heavy handed with others lives at stake.

    The constitution protects me from that sort of tyranny and also the common body of the law/courts.There are safeguards there or open tyranny would have prevailed here in this country many many years ago.In the course of history this country has gone thru many changes,and to some degree so has the different instruments to run it.
    If I was told the President had abolished the congress or the President had declared himself a dictator, or had committed some sort high treason that was validly proven in a court of law,yeah then I would say impeach that leader.
