Ferguson riots

The people of Ferguson are pushed beyond the breaking limit. When you cannot trust the police or the government to uphold their promise to protect and serve, what else can you do? Huddle in the dark in your homes hoping you're not the next to be shot, murdered, raped, beaten?
The looting is inexcusable, but those who protest peacefully, whether with placards or raised voices, are true patriots.

Even good people can be broken, and that is what has happened in Ferguson.
All of this is squarely to blame on the police and government, and an utter failure of law and justice.
What you see in Ferguson is people pushed too far, who in abject fear and frustration have lost control of themselves, in rage and grief.
If you got bullied and harassed and picked on day after day and authorities look the other way, or are the ones persecuting you, day after day, month after month, year after year, even you would break.
To you being a thug is being black and walking down a road at night.
Of course you would believe police killing black people is admirable.
YOU are what is wrong with this country. YOU are the kind of person responsible for the outrage and grief and frustration seen in Ferguson.
There's no logical or rational recourse with inbred fucks like you.
