And then there was Tamir Rice. Truly a sad story. Kid playing with a toy gun in the park; there is a 911 call to the po po, and the next thing you know an 12 year old is dead after two gun shots to the abdomen. (Watch)
This case is tragic on so many levels. First, the police officers who are not properly trained. Second, the same police officers who have color arousal issues. Third, the irresponsible parents who purchase toy guns for their children to play with in the first place.
But field, it's not only black children who accidentally get killed by police officers.
I know, little Mexican children get shot as well.
But field what about all the unarmed white men who get shot by black police officers?
Yes, an extremely rare occurrence I am sure. In fact, can think of only two.
Dillon Taylor was not shot by a black man; the police who shot him was Hispanic. But I will concede that his killer was non-white.
Thing is, though, the officer, unlike Officer Wilson in Ferguson and others, was wearing a body camera.
And there was James Whitehead. He was killed by a black off duty police officer after the two men got into an altercation where the off duty officer claimed that Whitehead called him the n-word.
That black officer was terminated and sued to get his job back, and the family of Mr. Whitehead settled a civil suit with the city of Orange,Texas.
Anyway, back to Tamir Rice.
Like the situation in Ferguson, there are some issues all the way around.
"Deputy Chief Ed Tomba said the officer, one of two who responded to a dispatcher's call, was less than 10 feet from Tamir under a gazebo when the confrontation took place He declined to say if the video matches the officer's description of events, saying a full interview of the officer has not been conducted.
Neither he nor Chief Calvin Williams explained why police have not obtained a full statement from the officer.
The boy's family declined to view the video but it was shown to family representatives, Tomba said. Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty said the video would be released, but did not say when.
The identities of the officers have not been made public. They were placed on three days' paid administrative leave, and will be on restricted duty when they return, police said.
Tomba said the investigation could take three months, after which a grand jury will hear the case to decide if charges are warranted.
Tomba said one officer fired twice after the boy pulled the fake weapon from his waistband but had not pointed it at police. The boy did not make any verbal threats, but he grabbed the replica handgun after being told to raise his hands, Tomba said.
Williams said the "airsoft"-type pellet gun lacked the orange safety tip required at the time of sale and was indistinguishable from a real semiautomatic pistol.
"Guns are not toys," he said. "We need to teach our kids that."
"Who would've thought he would go so soon?" Gregory Henderson, a close friend of Tamir's family, told WKYC-TV. "To be 12 years old, he doesn't know what he's doing. Police, they know what they're doing."
Henderson also questioned why police did not use a Taser-type weapon.
"You shot him twice, not once, and at the end of the day you all don't shoot for the legs, you shoot for the upper body," Henderson said to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.Henderson, identified by that newspaper's website as Tamir's father, said Tamir was a "respectful" young man who minded his elders.
A 911 call to police in which a man says the gun was "probably fake" has added to the controversy.
Jeff Follmer, president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association, said the officers were not told the caller thought the gun might be fake. He said an officer taking a Taser out when they believe there could be a person with a gun puts the officer at risk, the Plain Dealer reported.
The hacker group Anonymous claimed responsibility Monday for shutting down the City of Cleveland's website after Rice's shooting, WKYC said. The FBI is investigating". [Source]
I just hope that the officer who shot young Tamir will show some remorse.
Because sadly, the officer who shot Michael Brown certainly did not.

I see a number of problems with the officers' handling of the call. 1) The officer driving the car approaches the suspect too quickly. 2) The officer places the car and his partner too close to the suspect. 3) The officer exiting the passenger side of the car, being extremely close to the suspect, feels threatened and over-reacts.
If the officers had announced themselves from a safe distance, instructed the suspect to place the possible gun on the ground, then Tamir would still be alive. As it was, their approach to him gave them little time to assess the true level of threat. I do believe there is negligence to be found here.
Mr Field, I asked you on a previous thread whether you will be taking off w/o Thanksgiving to blog more frequently as you do each year.
I try to adjust my life according to yours and FN because I feel what you have to say is highly regarded and important.
Could you let me know if you are going to blog more during the rest of this week? I want to be sure not to miss any of your posts.
Let me say that your posts have been far more informative than any of the MSM. I hope soon that you will be reporting and writing for a national newspaper and tv news operation.
Thank you brother for all you have done. Your posts have opened my eyes to the truth of what's going on in America. You have literally changed my life...I now see things completely differently.
WHEN are Blacks going to be fed up with these types of murders and loss of children's lives by white cops? WHEN?!!
Yes, the old Anonymous Self-Praise Post strikes again.
7:56, he will certainly be off. KFC is closed on Thanksgiving.
Regarding the Grand Jury Verdict in Ferguson, even Justice Scallia has said it was not justice:
"On Monday, Prosecutor Bob McCulloch announced that a grand jury had decided not to indict Darren Wilson, the officer who killed Michael Brown. But that decision was the result of a process that turned the purpose of a grand jury on its head.
"Justice Antonin Scalia, in the 1992 Supreme Court case of United States v. Williams, explained what the role of a grand jury has been for hundreds of years.
It is the grand jury’s function not ‘to enquire … upon what foundation [the charge may be] denied,’ or otherwise to try the suspect’s defenses, but only to examine ‘upon what foundation [the charge] is made’ by the prosecutor. Respublica v. Shaffer, 1 Dall. 236 (O. T. Phila. 1788); see also F. Wharton, Criminal Pleading and Practice § 360, pp. 248-249 (8th ed. 1880). As a consequence, neither in this country nor in England has the suspect under investigation by the grand jury ever been thought to have a right to testify or to have exculpatory evidence presented.
This passage was first highlighted by attorney Ian Samuel, a former clerk to Justice Scalia.
In contrast, McCulloch allowed Wilson to testify for hours before the grand jury and presented them with every scrap of exculpatory evidence available. In his press conference, McCulloch said that the grand jury did not indict because eyewitness testimony that established Wilson was acting in self-defense was contradicted by other exculpatory evidence. What McCulloch didn’t say is that he was under no obligation to present such evidence to the grand jury. The only reason one would present such evidence is to reduce the chances that the grand jury would indict Darren Wilson.
Compare Justice Scalia’s description of the role of the grand jury to what the prosecutors told the Ferguson grand jury before they started their deliberations:
And you must find probable cause to believe that Darren Wilson did not act in lawful self-defense and you must find probable cause to believe that Darren Wilson did not use lawful force in making an arrest. If you find those things, which is kind of like finding a negative, you cannot return an indictment on anything or true bill unless you find both of those things. Because both are complete defenses to any offense and they both have been raised in his, in the evidence.
As Justice Scalia explained the evidence to support these “complete defenses,” including Wilson’s testimony, was only included by McCulloch by ignoring how grand juries historically work.
There were several eyewitness accounts that strongly suggested Wilson did not act in self-defense. McCulloch could have, and his critics say should have, presented that evidence to the grand jury and likely returned an indictment in days, not months. It’s a low bar, which is why virtually all grand juries return indictments.
But McCulloch chose a different path."

This sort of thing is just inexplicable to me.
To begin with, if it's a kid with a gun, and the 911 caller isn't reporting that he's actually committing a crime with it, shouldn't the starting assumption be that that the kid's most likely holding a toy? That's what I'd be thinking if I were a cop responding to this call: maybe a real gun ... but probably not.
Starting from that assumption would probably have altered the way the cops approached this situation.
Also, it's irritating that toy manufacturers still consider it a good idea to make completely realistic-looking toy guns.
(Full disclosure: I had one myself as a kid -- it was a cap gun made to look like a semiauto pistol, and it fired the spent "casings" out a port in the side, just like a real one. I could probably have successfully held up a liquor store with it.)
Why even stop with an orange tip? Just make the whole damn thing orange, to avoid any confusion. Sure, kids may not like it as much, but this just isn't a risk worth taking.
8:15pm, you are on the wrong thread. This is not fair to Tamir. I know you want to talk about Michael, but this is Tamir's article, not Michael's. Since we are likely to see more tragedies like this, it's important for all of us to be organized and keep our opinion threads orderly. Otherwise, it becomes very confusing. We owe that to these families.
What kid wants to play with an orange gun? They just won't sell. I say let the cops carry the orange gun so we're forewarned there is danger present.
Why can't we all just get along?

8:59, your continue to post the wrong thread. How disrespectful.
I think we need some order here. Too many people are commenting about everything but Tamir. Let's clean it up people.
9:02pm, thank you for your support. A child has died, yet 8:5m isn't even phased by it and thinks nothing of crashing Tamir,s thread.
Has anyone considered the possibility of a second shooter. I've watched the video and there seems to be a puff of smoke rise from the bushes in the background at the moment the officer fires his gun. I don't think e acted alone.
Kill a Black boy before he can reproduce.
Yeah sounds like "the plan" of the grand dragons of the
US.
Of course the problem with that theory is that Black is dominant to EVERY race on the planet which guarentees that we'll ALWAYS be around especially South of the equator.
If a disease like Ebola can't kill off Blacks, surely mutant melanoma prone folks haven't got a snowballs chance in hell.
Some witnesses said Michael Brown had been shot in the back. Another said he was face-down on the ground when officer Darren Wilson finished him off. Still others acknowledged changing their stories to fit published details about the autopsy or admitted that they did not see the shooting at all.
An Associated Press review of thousands of pages of grand jury documents reveals numerous examples of statements made during the shooting investigation that were inconsistent, fabricated or provably wrong.
http://bigstory.ap.org/article/078c82ad45ff4ec6aa1c7744dfa7df14/grand-jury-documents-rife-inconsistencies
The unsung heroes of this episode are the black witnesses who testified that Michael Brown was rushing toward officer Wilson. They put their race aside and told the truth, as supported by the evidence. Our system of justice rests on people like these. To those who lied about what they saw in an attempt to get the result they wanted, they better hope they are never in a situation where their fate is decided by witnesses with an agenda.

Dr Yisheng, I had hoped that with all the education you have, you of ALL people would be able to stay on topic as anon8:32pm had said.
You started off ok but ended up in Africa and the desert. How do Negroes like you end up so lost?
Yisheng, I implore you to stop crashing this thread. By doing so, you disrespect the memory of young Tamir. Have some dignity man!
I think maybe it is time to make certain areas, like parks, off limits to law enforcement. They don't seem to work well in such places. The people can protect each other without people dying.
9:30pm, 8:5m is really 8:56pm. But he still doesn't seem to get the need to stay on topic.
KC said the following: "The unsung heroes of this episode are the black witnesses who testified that Michael Brown was rushing toward officer Wilson.

I see you didn't get the memo fron anon8:32pm to stay on topic. Of course, you being White, what the hell do you care about a black 12 year old being shot dead by white cop.
Furthermore, why should you obey any Negro on FN who requests that we stay on topic?
As was said before by anon, the Grand Jury did not indict Wilson, even though Justice Scalia himself said that should not have happened.
Anyway, let us move on and forget about Michael Brown and the Grand Jury. It's over. Let's move on with this shooting incident that killed another even younger Black kid. Let's talk about this one and get it out of the way so we can move on with the next one....forgetting about the past.
Thanks 8:32pm for keeping things organized for the black community. You have leadership skills which we sorely need.
The use of horizontal polypropylene magnetic drive centrifugal scanner might have helped these officers avoid this tragedy. The volute and impeller design allow for high efficiency scanning for weapons at a great distance. As a result of the high working pressure environment of police, high specific gravity metals, such as guns, can be quickly detected. Another benefit is the protection against unneeded use of ordinance. The standard NPT or BSP connections allow for easy installation in the police cruiser. The wetted materials of construction were chosen and engineered specifically for aggressive deployment in the field.
does anybody know if field will be blogging tomorrow and friday? i have a need to know asap. life is short.
this right here:
"the irresponsible parents who purchase toy guns for their children to play with in the first place."
thank you.
guns are NOT to be played with at any time nor at any age. to allow your Black child outside with one at this point in the game= negligent.
what folk thought military cops wouldn't bust caps THEN get with facts?
i would discuss the military killer cops but why? they are doing what they are supposed to be doing. reeking havoc on the citizens...
police state is here for all.
the disparity in how folk are treated in the "justice" system should not be a surprise for anyone at this point in the game. those that are sitting at the top won't make it stop. their very demonic survival means this system of death will thrive until Almighty hits it one Good time...
and He will.
that's His Word.
ps. FN, though you might not hear it on the news...military killer cops DO kill Whites. just as out of pocket Black folk do. it seems the controlled MSM ONLY wants to highlight stories that play to the Black victim narrative and will get folk amped + ramped up for their race war...
so ALL folk, all colors can be slaves as a result of the demonic smack down they got on tap.
poor/working class White folk get HANDLED. this is why white supremacy = the only thing that makes the bad apples feel better. i have been told point blank when all else failed:
"well, at least, i am White."
which now makes me sad, folk have been so had.
sad... moreso than angry at this point.
Yah is Good.
what i need to know is where are the military killer cops when folk need 'em?:)
when homie called the cops to get away from Real man daddy handling family biz...what if cap happy military cop with bad aim resulting only in shots to that a...

Especially if you are black. You could be killed by a cop, or a racist white person, or even worse, a white racist cop at any moment.
HANDS UP! DON'T SHOOT!
One of my worst fears is that a little kid will run out into the street in front of my car while I'm driving. I don't think I could live with myself if I killed a kid. It is always tragic when parents outlive their children. But it has to be especially devastating to lose a child at an age when he is still under your wing and around all of the time.
Field will certainly post tomorrow but his thoughts may show the debilitating and numbing effects of a turkey-laden brain.
Limpbaugh, if you drive an SUV, then the odds are you've already run over several people without noticing.
What I state here is irrefutable scientific fact. So, you have no reason to doubt me as I am dedicated not to any social agenda but only to the truth. Truth is neither black nor white but sort of a pale, taupe color. Oh, that we could all be taupe.

Well, as somebody has said, this isn't about color. So have at it brother. I have a feeling about you that we will grow and gain in posterity.
You want a crown like the Pope? Consider it done. You see, I can tell you are one of those rare white boys like Tim Wise.
Come to think of it, whatever happened to Tim Wise? He's been quiet for a long time. Is he still alive.
Anon8:32pm are you Tim Wise?
To keep the thread orderly, remember that we are talking about a young boy being killed by the police. please be respectful since his family may be reading.
I happen to be antiabortion except in cases of rape or incest (which means the trolls here wouldn't exist).
But I ask you Bill, how have exagerated abortion rates among Blacks affected birth rates among Blacks? From looking at the numbers, not very much at all.
Another Rethug social myth debunked.

Yeah, I hear you. But Field's post criticized them for buying a toy gun for the child. What kind of crap is that?
I blame the toy manufacturer and the store for carrying the damn gun.
10:14pm, I am not Tim Wise, but his spirit dwells within me. I cannot reveal my true identity. But you should know that in 1988, during solemn ceremony, I was admitted to the Order of Honorary Homeboys by my African American confrairs.
I must admit that your idea to make me the first White Pope of the Black People is somewhat appealing. Popes get to wear a lot of bling and I think that, despite my pigmentation, I could pull off that look with a little help.
So, thank you again for your kind word. Have a Happy a Thanksgiving.
Black boys don't get to make the same stupidistakes that white boys do. I'd never have made it if cops made the same assumptions about young bb gun shooting white me.
This has to be a concerted effort if we are to stay on topic. Let's work together to speak only about Tamir and the article Mr. Field laid on us with much style.
This comment trafficking has gone to hell in a hand-basket. FN folks just won't mind. I'm exhausted trying to control this mess. It's like trying to heard thousands of mosquitoes from down South.
"What kid wants to play with an orange gun? They just won't sell. I say let the cops carry the orange gun so we're forewarned there is danger present."
What, you need a special warning to tell you that cops have guns and can shoot you?
Hint: The only cops that don't are the blue-uniformed strippers that you might encounter at a bachelor party.
Whitey's Conspiracy, could you temporarily grant me permission to use the N Word from time to time? I promise to use it discretely and feel it would help me rid myself of the pent up stressed caused by being able to thing a word but not say it out loud. You have no idea what a burden this forbidden word is to white people. My worst fear is that I might say it in my sleep one night. This could be embarrassing if the wrong lady is in my bed. You may not think me serious but you should know I had an uncle who went to an early grave because he could not use that word. Over time, it wore him down so that he became a shadow of the man he once was. In fact, it was his last word. But it came too late for him.

The voice of our beneficent host is strangely absent from these proceedings.
WC-
now if you can figure it out, what do you think the disconnect is for others when it comes to BM?
'cause telling BW they should not have put themselves in certain situations = on the menu ALL day...yet when it comes to the menfolk...
this baby was not even a man. so i would be looking to the parents to 'splain how/why they thought Black 12 year old boy needed a gun to play...outside, no less.
Anon looking for a leader...it seems that Yah is plucking His folk out and walking them through His fire while protecting them...
it is an individual pursuit in many ways. only He can lead US in all Truth.

"Read some scripture anon"= sound advice for US all.
THEN much of what is hidden will be revealed and this demonic utter chaos will make more sense for folk that appear to be own understanding leaning.
that directive is never a diss. it is a suggestion born of Love.
Dear Focusedpurpose, I have read the scriptures. I especially enjoyed all the smiting in the Old Testament. The New Testament doesn't have as many action scenes.
I'll need to know for certain if the parents purchased the gun the boy was playing with before I blame them for his death.
But I was thinking that the cops saw the 12 year old as a demon, reminiscent of Hulk Hogan?
the comedy on this thread is priceless. this right here:
"Over time, it wore him down so that he became a shadow of the man he once was. In fact, it was his last word. But it came too late for him."
LOL!
IF folk would look into the faces of some of these military cops...they would see their hatred is barely restrained. so WHY give them anything?
don't be afraid per se. just be acutely aware that thangs have changed...
for the worse for all people world wide.
gradually yet nevertheless. get on point and for the Love of Yah protect the babies by getting them on point.
Anon 10:46 and 10:53pm- Much Love and yes, i, too pray for Peace for His People/my people- all colors. that we will ALL wake up to our common enemy that hates + seeks to destroy US ALL. if he can get US to destroy one another...

_____________________
doesn't matter who purchased the gun. parental obligation = confiscate it. treat that bad boy like my moms used to treat Prince records. Prince before he found religion:)
ESPecially with Blackwater-folk who have now changed their name yet their specialty is the same- trained military cops killing folk like that is their personal right. enjoying + getting paid to do it...
i don't blame the parents. blame game = waste of time. as parents we ARE responsible for our children. their provision, protection, and even their mistakes when they are a certain age.
folk are hunting citizens then going on paid leave. what's not clear for Black parents at this point in the game? unless folk JUST got off the boat or plane newly arriving on US soil, there is NO excuse for all the brand new that is plain to see.
gone for Real, for now:)

dang. i might as well stop saying i am leaving. ya'll are making me lol while the helicopters hover low.
ps. the many foster babies are mk'd + grown now. being bussed + activated to go off by their handlers...so the rioting/looting folk see = manipulated in quite a few cases.
in other cases there are dum dums doing too much.
I think those cops started frying eggs and then realized they don't own spachula.
I watched the riot in Ferguson. It seemed to lack the flare of the riots of the 1960's. I think, they should really study that footage before conducting another riot. Otherwise, it comes off as a bit mediocre. This goes for the police and national guardsmen too. They just weren't very convincing.
I don't know where FN is. But he's going to shit when he sees what we've all done to this thread. I don't want to be around when he finds out.

Sorry the mayhem and destruction didn't live up to your expectations. Please provide your address, and I'm sure the rioters will be happy to redress your criticism by performing a more satisfactorily flamboyant arson of your personal residence.
FP if you were a mother you'd know that as a parent, you can't always control what your kids do when you're not around. In other words, you can't confiscate a toy you don't know your kid has when they're not in your presence.
BULLSHIT. Parents are responsible for their children and should know what toys their own children have. Parents should be monitoring their children. Especially at 12years old.
I pray you have no children.

it is what it is. folk with husbands gots NO excuses. what could possibly be more important?
my son called me over protective + the whole nine.
he was Real clear @ 13, with a deep man voice, + taller than me...
that he had "man powers" that i refused to let him use.
dang Right son. and just as soon as those "man powers" pay the cost to be the boss...
you got it.
my job was to safely get him there.
almost killed me.
i took him to work with me. left work to see 'bout him. knew his teachers + asked them to call me FIRST before ANYONE should he get in trouble. trained him to ask for me like i was his lawyer. made sure he knew early it was unconstitutional to bear witness against himself. and nah, he would not be signing zip when his teen dumb caught up to him...which is how the schools wanted to train the Black young men to do.
keep making excuses = keep burying our babies.
or watching them caged up + experimented on like constitutional new slaves.
at the very least folk should go ahead and quiet down until they are ready to make the necessary changes to their behavior.
i agree wholeheartedly with 11:38pm and call BS on your comment, with all due respect.
take away:
today's cops blast first...
ask questions, if that, later.
when all else fails makes up the dumbest ish to excuse their inexcusable.
IF i were a blonde haired white person...i would act like i know this Truth at this point in the game.
what did not make the news during the weather seeding, let's blow up some stuff + re-distribute the wealth Katrina/NOLA exercise was this:
Blacks were killed + sexually assaulted.
Whites were disarmed and the women sexually assaulted.
by military police officers.
WM told this Truth before their Youtube channels got snatched down.
but if we keep fighting over melanin, we will never be the wiser. until it is too late...
time to wake up for US all.
And BTW I have a daughter on FULL scholarship at a MAJOR university studying Engineering JUST LIKE HER FATHER/ MY HUSBAND DID.
Swishers have been a guilty treet for me for over 40 years, but the kids mostly use them for blunts these days.
Yeah, in fact Jimm Beam & Swisher's has always spelled "holiday season" around here as much as port wine chedder & fresh Dungeness crab cocktail does.
FP, for what it's worth, you were a good mother and did the right thing in bringing up your child. You didn't turn your back on him. That's love and it's good karma.
Of course, it doesn't surprise me that you are a responsible parent. You have character and integrity.
Have a nice Thanksgiving.
We whites have to furiously call out systematic racism. Black people have been doing it for 150 years, but it hasn't been enough. It will never change and white people in America will never join the human race until we change ourselves and our culture.
And I'm sure you'll have NO children due to the syphilis coated blanks you're shooting.
I don't care how strong a BW thinks she is, ONLY a man can teach a boy how to be a man. Prisons are full of BM who couldn't be raised well by BW.
And a bitter BW can't teach a Black boy jack $hit other than how NOT to treat BW. In fact, I'd rather a WW raise a half Black boy than a bitter BW ANY day.
Anon. 1131pm, I don't really think that would be a fair fight considering the security measure I've taken to protect my domicile. Better tell the homeboys to stick to their own streets. That way they don't have their asses handed to them on a cold hard slab.
Anon @ 12:27 am-thank you for your kind words. ALL praise is due to Almighty. i made many mistakes along the way, in all Truth.
every day is one of thanks + gratitude:) sending back your well wishes triple fold.
WC- i am encouraged by what i see. folk are waking up. when one listens to the survivalists, ex military, etc it is getting harder to miss the point, really. for folk of all hues...
@Yisheng- no shade.
i have met many super messed up, clueless folk with beaucoup degrees.
not that such is the case with your daughter. congrats on her accomplishments.
met drs and others with solid habits. though they functioned through it...
it is wise to make it priority to know what younger ones are up to. 18-21 even. it was a 21 year old on fbi facebook getting riled all up with talks of violence. the mom in me promptly shut.that.down. so there is no excuse to be clueless when the babies are 12- that is the point Anon you keep trying to insult was making. before folk got side tracked with other irrelevant stuff.
ps. the way you are going about it only reflects poorly on you, also. do what you wish with that hopefully helpful nugget...
also, there is MUCH going down at the illuminati universities...campuses are satan/lucifer's recruiting ground. so even now, i would stay on the parent job if i were you.
Blessings all!

Don't care what security measures you think you've got in place. If enough angry folks show up at Chez Skinhead, it and you will both be reduced to cinders.
Yisheng-
lol. you gots no argument 'bout menfolk needing to raise BM.
here's the rub...
IF you call it out, folk will call ya "bitter"...
don't take my word for it.
try it. tell the Truth re: BM and the abdication of their parental responsibilities in quite a few instances.
ps. my son has two fathers. and we all had a united front on the:
we don't come to jail to bail folk out more than once. mess up too badly being dumb and you will need to utilize man powers to rectify the situation.
he is not on lock down + is Real clear on what time it is in america.
@ 13 he would've known this is a BS lie statement:
"you can't always control what your kids do when you're not around. In other words, you can't confiscate a toy you don't know your kid has when they're not in your presence."
being raised not to talk to grown folk in a that's BS manner...
he would've probably said, "ma'am, my parents don't get that busy."
lol.
or something to that effect.
hope you feel better. you don't radiate happy married lady energy. it is just a convo. no need to take it to uncivil. and since i am better at it than you...
i will politely decline your invitation to clown. you got it, sis. it's all you...
Anon. 118, the thing I love about stupid, I thinking opponents is how well they stack after the fight.
Anon. 118,
In 2013 US Census Bureau estimated 45,003,665 African Americans in the United States meaning that 14.1% of the total American population of 316.1 Million is Black. This includes those who identify as ‘Black Only’ and as ‘Black in combination with another race’. The ‘Black Only’ category by itself totaled 41.6 million African Americans or 13.1% of the total U.S population.
Not exactly a tactical, numerical advantage.
PROUD OF ATLANTA PEOPLE AND POLICE TODAY
I'm proud that people are marching in sympathy with Michael Brown. I wish they'd march more often, for other reasons, as the Europeans do. Mess with their superior healthcare, their quality affordable childcare or their economic survival and they hit the streets.
I'm proud of the Atlanta police. As long as marchers were peaceful, they keep out of the way. Marchers claim the window breakers weren't part of their group and wore masks. No one seems to doubt that now though the police may have arrested some of the wrong folks because of isolated violence. Their behavior in difficult circumstances seemed restrained and balanced. People are raising money to help the cabbie whose car window was smashed.
I'm proud that the Atlanta marchers were a multi-cultural group. As were the restaurant patrons who cheered them on.
I'm proud that the owner of one of the restaurants damaged also gave his support to the marchers and was pretty much, hey, shit happens in a big crowd.
There's a monster on the loose. Two homeless men, in different parts of town, were shot and killed as they slept. Riddled with several rounds. The police have reached out to warn "our homeless brothers", seeking them out and telling them to go to shelters or team up with others and be alert to the dangers.
Of course, Atlanta's not perfect, but it's nice to feel that we have some things to be especially grateful for on this Thanksgiving.
I see some hate on this thread. That's not good. There's no reason red-blooded Americans should hate each other, especially because of race. We have to stand together. We have big enemies these days. Blacks and whites and many others have fought and died for this nation. Our forefathers earned us this inheritance of being Americans. But it's up to us what we do with it and our actions do matter. So our goal must not be to hate, but to heal. Our dream should not be one of dominance but of equality. Our destiny must not be division but unity. For we are Americans.

I happen to be antiabortion except in cases of rape or incest
If you don't mind me asking...
Why should the act of the father determine if the child's life is worth keeping?
"I watched the riot in Ferguson. It seemed to lack the flare of the riots of the 1960's. I think, they should really study that footage before conducting another riot. Otherwise, it comes off as a bit mediocre. This goes for the police and national guardsmen too. They just weren't very convincing."
Couldn't agree more.
When I was a lad we did some proper rioting, sent the fascists and the cops fleeing. But not today, it's obvious to me that the rioters of Ferguson can't be trusted to get the job done properly.
One example: Molotov Cocktails: Fix the petrol soaked rag to the neck of the bottle with wire, otherwise it just comes away as you throw it. Also they are more effective when rained down on your opponents from above, (from the roofs of buildings) rather than lobbed from ground level. I mean that's basic stuff, Rioting 101.
Kids to day hey? Rubbish at rioting, rubbish at everything else. I blame video games.
Lord have mercy. Some of you people commenting are a trip. :)
Thanks to the Anon above for the kind words.
This was indeed a tragic incident, I listened to more of the 911 call today and the caller clearly stated that he did not think the gun was real. Not sure what this rookie cop was thinking.
Well.... Second thought....I think I do know what he was thinking: Black 20 year old with a gun (that's what he said on his radio call, that the kid seemed to be 20) and he is gong to kill me. I better kill him first. *shaking head*
Proper rioting? Who cares if a riot is proper or not?
Rioters are petulant children.
They throw temper-tantrums, hurt and kill people, and destroy property that doesn't belong to them.
Then they spend the rest of their pathetic lives pissing and moaning because YT won't rebuild what their temper-tantrums destroyed.

Bill if you had the capacity to be raped/conceive a child from it, I seriously doubt you'd ask such a dumb ass question.
Besides aren't your retarded troll buddies on FN enough of a demonstration of the dire genetic and mental health consequences of relatives breeding?
watching cop's tactics are very interesting, at one time they use to park down the street and swoop on you from the side's. now they move aggresively it's like they got a new orders, shoot 1st ask question latter
Kkkuckoo, as a descendant of the most violent race in the history of man, your question makes perfect sense coming from you.

Of course it is! A thousand times yes! Especially if the officer felt that his life was in danger!!! and what comes after him calling the officer the 'n' word? An attempt on his life that's what!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Wishing you a happy and Blessed day!
Crazy that the child and parents are now being blamed for his murder!
I'll be damned if my son were playing in the park with a BB gun,and a cop shoots him dead because he "thought" it was a real gun!
Without even trying to call out to the child, they do have outside speakers on patrol cars!
Calling out and asking him if it was real or a toy!
and the caller repeated that in his opinion it was a toy.
So if the person is black, no walking outside, no gathering to talk, no music in cars, no what they percieve as 'threatening' toys,no etc., etc.
I think the police in the states should make up a list of the things, or activities of daily life that they allow for black people.
Things that they will not shoot to kill for, or otherwise injure to kill for on the spot with no questions asked, in order to maybe prevent this CARNAGE!???

@lilac
I do think that at least a piece of the blame should lie with the parents.
A few months back, I was at a friend's relatives' home and I noticed their son had an extremely realistic-looking pellet pistol. And the thought did pass through my head that I hoped his parents had warned him to only use that thing in the back yard and not take it out in a busy public area. Wandering down the street with what looks like a real weapon could have a very tragic outcome.
And that kid was white. For a black kid, sadly, we all know the risk of a terrible misinterpretation is significantly higher. His parents really should have warned him about this.
All of that said, the primary responsibility for this disaster still lies with the police. It is their job to make some minimal effort to discern whether any threat exists before discharging their firearms. I don't see how anyone can reasonably say they did that.
When as a child I got a cap gun for Christmas, my father told me never point a gun at anyone play or toy.
I grew up in a predominantly black neighborhood that was many years ago. I passed on what my father told me to my children.
I agree his parents are at fault. The police, some other idiot, individual will take as a real gun. Tamir should be alive today, how sad. Yes the parents and police are at fault. Yes the call to police about a gun welding boy was a responsible citizen doing the right thing.
The sad results when someone reaches in a police car, assaults an officer and gets his gun.
Johnson City police officer was shot and killed with his own weapon
http://www.localsyr.com/story/d/story/officer-shot-and-killed-near-binghamton-area-hospi/21718/364J-3q63EqZs8BkWb6lSw
Obviously the dead cop didn't get get a lot of media coverage since it didn't fit the democrat agenda.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
! agree with what you've stated. My boys both had BB rifles as kids. And we were very adamant about instilling the rules of gun ownership to them.
Especially the cardinal rule that you NEVER POINT YOUR GUN AT ANYTHING UNLESS YOU INTEND TO SHOOT!
But, obviously that was not done or instilled thoroughly enough in the youngster.
However. the thing is that so many young black men are getting killed by the preconceived idea that they are wielding weapons, that it somehow seems as though as you stated, because the child was black, the police didn't even make the effort to verify.
It seems that if it would have been a white child, he would not have been killed.
Also the dispatcher is VERY much at fault here as she neglected to relay the important information that the caller had stated, "that the gun seemed like a toy" and the caller stated that several times.
Of course nobody wants to get shot with a BB pellet either, they can cause real injury. But the cops should have verified. And NO he did not look like "a 20 year old" for God's sake!
If this would have been an isolated incident then it would be different,but given the circumstances and events of late, No.
It seems the officers enter a black neighborhood and immediately assume it to be as officer Wilson did, "a danger zone". Without stopping to think that although there may be dangerous or mentally ill as in any neighborhood, there are also good,kind, hardworking people living there! And they have to learn to differentiate!!!
This preconceived notion is erroneous and dangerous.
My thoughts are that there should be an overhaul of all police forces, because this is crazy!
My father, a WWII veteran, taught me to shoot a gun at age nine. He also taught me gun safety and never to point a gun, real or toy, at anyone. After trying the real thing, I quickly lost my desire to play with toy guns and I knew never to carry or play with a real gun. Perhaps early introduction to firearms and proper gun education might prevent situations like this.
However, I do not propose this to suggest parents are to blame for such tragedies. The police bear the grave responsibility for the guns they carry. The police office who killed Tamir clearly misused his weapon regardless of what he thought he saw. He and the officer driving the car are negligent because they did not take the time to assess the threat. I've seen cops over-react in matters as simple as pulling over a speeder. Cops with this tendency should never be allowed to serve. The wielding of lethal force must be done by a calm and deliberating hand, not by cowboy cops like we see in the video. I hope these officers stand trial.
1:08pm, you are no doubt uncomfortably close to the truth. Trust me. That will not be tolerated here. Let's not forget that it is Mr. Field's very profession to spin the truth, so that the actual truth may not be believed.
@Anon 2:12PM
Amen!
I have to say that my heart beaks for the parents of these kids that have been killed, they are and will always be suffering an irreparable loss that will never leave them.
But you know what,I feel bad for the officers involved, because their lives will forever be changed also. But moreso because their hearts and minds are so closed to humanity. A mind is a terrible thing to waste as can be seen by these consequences.
2:36p, did you actually say "a mind is a terrible thing to waste"? Did you really just say that?

A pipe just burst in my kitchen! Water is running down my hall. Everything is ruined! Ruined! Somebody please tell me what to do!
@5:54, Quickly run to the trailer next door, the chemicals used to
process meth don't mesh well with water.
#Kaboom!
This is no joke comment. The young man new door came with a wrench and turned off the water. But my house is ruined because the floors are wood. They are sagging now. I have no insurance and my wheelchair will not roll across the wet carpet. I can't believe this has happened to me. I can barely afford my house payments and medicines on a fixed income. I don't know what I will do.
I was heating up a turkey TV dinner when this happened. All I wanted was celebrate Thanksgiving alone in peace. This is a disaster! Just look at this mess!
This is worse than I thought. Now I have no water to drink or soak my teeth in tonight. I cannot flush toilet either. This is no Thanksgiving! I am cursed!
Ms. Yisheng,
I cannot run. I am in a wheelchair. You laugh at an old, sick man. I guess it is true what they say. Give a pig a chair and she will want to get on the table. The young have no respect for the old anymore!
What a life I'm living! What a world this is!
The man next door just brought me bottles water. There is still some decency left in the world.
I am thankful for this kindness. He's a real Mensch.
Now I reheat my turkey TV dinner and eat. What else can I do?
I cannot eat. All the water that went to my basement caused the roaches to come inside. They are everywhere now! They keep pouring in through the cracks! I am in misery! How can an old man live with roaches and be well? What kind of life is this? I'm glad my dear Margaret is not here to see this mess. It would break her heart.
What a day this is! I had to crawl on my belly across my flooded floor to get the can of Raid under my sink. At least I can keep the roaches away from my chair tonight while I sleep sitting up. My bed is full of roaches and I am very wet and cold. I wish I had a blanket.
Oh no!
No!
I just messed my pants!!!
what in the world is happening in this comment section?
not sure what to do with it.
sir, i am sorry you are experiencing these difficulties. don't feel badly. there was a massacre attached to this day...
+ every day = a Good day to have gratitude + thanks for Most High.
if you are joking, i still don't know what to do with it;)
for the record, i did not say the parents were to blame for their loss. the blame game is a waste of time, which i said clearly.
folk need to understand that the role of the police has changed, then act accordingly.
that is all i am saying.
or prepare to be maimed or killed...

Dear Purpose,
You are very kind. I am sorry to hear there was a "massacre" today. I did not get a chance to watch the news because of the great flood in my house. But, I will be ok. I managed to clean myself up using the bottle water and the pillow case I use to cover my TV Dinner table. I don't think I can use it again.
Thank you for you kind word. You are a good person nit to make fun of me.
What do you expect from a racist psycho who is so mentally ill that NO ONE wants to spend a holiday with it.

anon, thank you for your insightful comment. It's deep, too deep for Yisheng and Lilac to understand....idiots!
I eat a TV dinner. I have 14 cans of soup and 6 TV dinners left. For this, I am grateful. I have just enough money to get my kitchen pipe fixed. The rest, I won't worry.
It has been a very hard day. My home was damaged. I have been ridiculed by heartless people and called vicious names. But I am a grateful man. I have only a short time left to live so I suppose I can endure a bit longer these indignities of life. G-d will punish the evil men do. In this I have faith.
Dear Ms. Yisheng,
I am alone on Thanksgiving because my dear wife Margaret, died of cancer 3 years ago. My only son, Edward, was killed in a car accident in 1971. I am 87 years old and have attended all of my friend's funerals. This is shy I am alone. You should appreciate you family and friends while you still have them. Nothing last forever in this cruel world. So, now I await my rest.
Dear Mr. lilac,
That was an old saying, not name calling. Will social services really help me with my house? I am desperate. I think it is ruined. Maybe they could help repair the floor so my wheelchair can roll. Thank you for the advice. You are a real Mensch to help an old, man.
Did I mention I have a giant spider in my garage? This spider, he's the size of a Toyota. I stay in here. He stays out there. This way we both survive.
At least you have an android phone or maybe it's an Iphone and a computer with internet.
Thank God right? :)
You really shoulda had more children, but oh well too late now.
@Anon 9:10 PM
Listen for 87, my God man you ought to get down on your knees and give thanks! Ooops I forgot, the wheelchair... Sorry.
But keep doing what you're doing it's working great!
As for the water pipe break, hey a little exercise now and then is wonderful! Doc will tell you that! ;D
But as for the food, at your age the digestive system has slowed down considerably, so what you now have is actually perfect for you!!! anything more would kill you before your time, oops sorry! hehehe!
So listen old timer, and I say that with the utmost respect, la chaim! H
So keep up the regimen, you'll make it to the New Year and then some! There will be Antique Anon for a while yet! ;p
On second thought Antique Anon don't call social services. They will only put you in a government run old folks home where the stench of old dried urine will kill you before anything else does!
Then sell your house and property to pay for the home. Bastards! Right!
So, no, stay put soon it will be summer, before you know it, and you'll have a built in swimming pool! Yaaay!
Think of it,you could exercise every dayyyy! You may even walk again! You may even become the next old folks Olympic swim champion!
Why not! Dream big I say! It will keep you young, :)
Dear Mr. Lilac,
I have this old computer. I am grateful it still works. The man next door gave it to me when he bought a new one and showed me how to click the wire thing. I play games too.
Thank you for the kind words. I will call social services in the morning if they are open. By the way, be sure to defrost your turkey completely before you cook it. Otherwise you get a flood like I had. The good news is that no one expects a man to know how to cook. Listen to the words of an old man and be good.
Such bullshit.
@Antique Anon
Don't worry. What a coincidence! OMG! I have a spider too. But it's in my home, it's not too big though.
I let it stay because it eats whatever insects may get past the screens :) Really!!!
It's a symbiotic relationship. So just leave it there, who knows, may even save your life one day! You know like arry you out if there's a fire, although with all that water....
This spider. What he eats? I don't want to know. He has his food. I have mine.
Dear Mr. Lilac,
I am glad you have a good relationship with your spider. I wish I had such good fortune. But I am afraid of a spider this size. So I keep the door to my garage locked and try to think happy thoughts. I let him have my garage. He leaves me alone. That's the deal.
ROTFL @Antique Anon!!!!!
Bawhahahahahaha!!!
Oh yes Antique, except when not many insects come inside, then it gets a hungry kind of look in it's eye...so I lock my bedroom door at night! You know, just in case...I don't wanna wake up hanging from a web! Ugh now that would be no bueno. Yeah, you better keep that door locked...
Dear Ms. Yisheng,
Thanks you for the email address. But I do not have one because I cannot afford the monthly payments. But trust me when I tell you that poverty is no disgrace, but also no great honor.
Dear Mr. Lilac,
I have terrible thought of the spider getting through my door. Sometimes I think I can hear him breathing. Even before my floors got ruined, I do not thing I could roll fast enough to outrun him. He would have me sure and certain. So I pray and sleep lightly.
Ahahahaaa! That was truly funny Mr. Antiquity! Oh not that I'm laughing at you, no, heaven forbid!
But the thought of you rolling that wheelchair full speed with the giant spider chasing, hahaha! but truly, he would catch you. Because how fast could you possibly go at 87?
I dunno, you have several problems, but hey, God is good. You do have lucidity and strength to type, and boy do you type fast!!! ;)
Hey maybe you can out roll the spider? Well let's just hope he doesn't get through that door...
Why don't you just shoot it?
Dear Mr. Lilac,
I am a peaceful man. I don't believe in guns. My mother taught me many good lessons. Especially that the smallest vengeance poisons the soul. What can I say? A good boy listens to his mother.
But you are right. I don't stand a change against that spider. But what's the worst that can happen. Ok, he kills me. Big whup! I've live 87 years.
Well now that's very fatalistic! and sad!No,no,no, you mustn't think like that. I bet if your mother had a problem like that, she wood shoot it too!
I sure as heck would.:) BOOM! Spider no more! :D
But I can understand your point. You are like the Buddhists that will not kill even a small insect.
Oh well, good luck with that Buddhist stuff, but remember they don't have giant Toyota sized spiders in their garages...they don't even have garages, or cars..they live in temples...the simple life...maybe they have Raid?
Dear Mr. Lilac,
I used to go to Temple every week. But I can't get out too often these days. But, I do what I can to be a good Jew in a wheelchair. My mother gave me the best advice. She said "Eat, pray, don’t act like a jerk!" So I try to make her proud. Maybe if I follow this, I'm a good Jew. I found a picture of Jerusalem on this computer. I like to look at it when I pray.
Dear Mr. Lilac,
I have enjoyed talking to you on the machine. Thank you for your kindness. I feel a bowel movement coming on and better not resist. Better a messy peace than an orderly war. Good night and may the blessings of the Prophets be upon you.
Yes well, do feel better. I have to go pee myself hehehe!
Good night
