Can you guys please stop making topics and posting shit up without explaining what it's actually about and making me have to go and search all over the web for it? This kind of posting has actually been infesting the forums lately.

People are fed up with police brutality. It would have happened somewhere eventually, if not here.

Police are fed up with people not following orders.  Obey and there will be peace.

That link is no good, it's been fixed to screw up my way around doing a link now. Just google the pdf called War Comes Home: The Excessive Militarization of American Policing released from ACLU

What are they protesting?

Because they think the kid that was shot and killed was done so over racist pretenses.

The reality is that: 1) its a tragedy this kid died, 2) no one knows (yet) if this kid was mouthing off and deserving of restraint or surrendering, and 3) no one wants to let the justice system apply penalty where its due before they convict the accused (on both sides) in the court of public opinion.

I think this hits it right on. I would blame the raciest people in our country like Al Sharpen who are always trying to make things into a racial matter and trying to induce race riots.
