So, let me get this straight: Missori cops want to punish black men for putting their hands up and saying "Don't shoot." Hrm.

Maybe if the cops stuck with exercising their first amendment rights, and not moving to the other amendments, we wouldn't have a problem.

I feel like playing football in your racist, God-forsaken city is punishment enough, SLPOA

you know what I find offensive? 18 year olds getting shot and prosecutors intentionally throwing the case

Because a white man who perpetuates a stereotype via a racist joke is a victim and the black woman who is the target of the racist joke is the villain who must be stopped.

Like I said in a comment from a previous article, this is how white supremacy manifests itself. This need to put black women in their place when they achieve something is almost pathological amongst racists and the supposedly colorblind.

STRONGLY discouraged from getting involved. An MP friend of mine got in big trouble for it back when he was in the service.

What did you expect? It's barely been a decade since the last time they committed war crimes just because that distinction exists.

Just to be clear, are you being a dick about the commendable actions by a woman of Turkish descent, or are you being a dick about the dude of Serbian descent dude who killed her?

German guys are just as bad, trust me

German President Joachim Gauck has praised her bravery, writing to her family, via BBC: "Where other people looked the other way, Tugce showed exemplary courage and moral fortitude."

I don't know what you're implying. Tugce Albayrak was an immigrant too. And was her attacker even an immigrant. I know he came from Serbia, I haven't read anything that said he was an immigrant to Germany.

Oh I see. So he's not YOUR kind of Serbian. Thanks for the racially motivated clarification.

As far as I understand it he planned to hit her but he didn't plan to kill her and that's why he isn't being charged with murder.

I like where this is going. Legitimize the War on Christmas and combine it with a civil rights revolution? I can get behind that.

Eh, I don't know if I'd classify the oppressed class as representative of the west in general. The majority of the west, white people, are perfectly comfortable with the way things are.

I like the idea of extending this protest across the whole holiday season.

But who will they follow around the store if we don't show up?

It's so weird. There's this thing you can do to remove some of the uncertainty and investigate the evidence ... what is it? What is it? OH YEAH. A TRIAL.
