You got me. I'm conflating the average gawkerite to the average gawkerite and the two may or may not be the same.

And cool sirens. WHOOOP WHOOOP.

"I don't think anyone has said that."

Gang members in the heart of Chicago? I KEED I KEED.

Goes to show, both the general public and the police are all part of humanity and humanity is one big fucked up shitbird.

You don't see pink martians either? I should go see an optometrist.

And these might as well but ever notice how quickly the compassionate "he's changed in prison your honor, he doesn't deserve to die" anti death-row lobby group changes their tune to "guy was killed and therefore we should kill the cop, his family, and (in LA's case) any white people who happen to be on hand to hurt?"

Yes, my first thought is to get the fuck out of Dodge. But my point is you try to have a peaceful protest and some shitbirds ruin it out of greed, and people get pissed when the law responds in a forceful manner.

Okay, a martian with a knife is running at a toddler who is laying on the grass crying and you can shoot the martian and not hit the toddler. What do you do hotshot, what... do... you... do?

That's what happened in LA with the race riots after Rodney King. They contained the area but did not move in.

Police are trained to shoot to kill, not main & disable.

Why didn't the group of peaceful protestors separate from and shame/point out the looters in the community?

I know you're referring to this specific instance but what if you shoot a perpetrator in the back while they're chasing a victim with a gun or a knife?

Would Brown's "best friend" tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

Why would they get banned? Express an opinion you don't like? We're allowed to do that, you know, disagree with you.

I don't honestly believe militarizing the police force was the start of seeing the public as the enemy. It escalates it, though.

All your seeing is what photographers want you to see. Keep that in mind at all times, no matter the situation.

Also, I understand. I've been starred on multiple Gawker sites (except this one) and am followed by a couple of authors on other sites from when we had the greys.

Sometimes a thread gets deep before it's gone and I've replied to many a comments after they disappeared. I think it is to give an illusion of being noticed when you really aren't.
