No classism in this case, which is also systematic, but not nearly to the extent it is in say somewhere with caste and such.
No, Wilson said he went for the gun. This is again a case of he said , she said. It could be as simple as Brown got mouthy with Wilson, and wilson lost it attemptiNg to grab Brown, which is what the other witness claimed happened. It's unfortunate we don't have a video. As stated when you are white you are given the benefit of the doubt, when you are black you are given nothing but doubt. Go look at the case of the BART cop shooting and what the cop who shot claimed in the report. Luckily, people sent in their cell phone videos contradicting the claim that the guy shot reached for the cops weapon and was resisting arrest. But I digress.
Again, the point that Obama mentioned has nothing to do with the guilt or innocence of Wilson. Please go read his comments on the matter. It has to do with the systematic racism and disconnect between the police force and the community they police. That was Obamas point.
pS I see you didn't mention the Garner case, imagine what the police story would be if there were no videos.

I like Obama, hate his cabinet. NSA, CIA, and FCC need to done over ASAP.
Lol, no. Most of the issues reside with the current leaders of these Agencies. Obama has little to do with that. Especially the NSA and CIA most of their failings comes from what the Bush Administration did. The FCC though is a different beast, and one Obama has been working on fixing.So you do agree.. His administration is a failure.

That went over your head if you got that impression. I am saying the expansion of suppressing freedoms came from the Patriot Act (Bush) and CIA tortured happened under Bush along with the introduction of the internet spying by the NSA. That was all started under Bush.So..Bush still controls the NSA and the CIA. Booooogus. It's this Presidents watch not Bush.

Didn't Obama renew the patriot act? Make no mistake. "Torture" did not stop with Bush.

Could also be very fortunate you DON'T have a video...especially if it showed him actually going for the gun and getting shot exactly as the story reflected. Then you wouldn't have a martyr for this systematic racism charge you feel so passionate about following! Then again, you'd probably just ignore it like so many pieces of evidence that do exist of criminal acts by people who so many in the black community like to rally behind as "innocent", completely disregarding logic and proof to further their agenda.
I personally cannot wait until officers have cameras as a part of their uniforms. Get some of the scum off the streets without the chances commonly handed out to the lower end criminals to "give them a chance to change"...f*ck it...start early, start lowly and make examples of the people who use petty crime as a stepping stone. White, black, Spanish, Asian, etc...no more lucky breaks, no more second chances. I'll enjoy seeing what people look for when trying to define their martyrs then. Makes me smile honestly...I can't f*cking wait to see it implemented. My only regret is that I left law enforcement too early to enjoy the benefit.
Obamas administration is a amazing success!
1) economic recovery check fastest growing, g8 economy in the world
2) Obama got Osama
3) auto industry saved
4) healthcare, done
5) viva la Cuba!
6) immigration, check
7) unemployment , approaching 5%, check
8) deficit reduction, to pre recession levels check
.... I could keep going!!!!! Your mad, Obama has been great no matter how hard you tried to put party over country!!!
Chuckles and more chuckles. In fact I can't stop chuckling.
How was your kwanza?

You can't win hydrogen, this guy will kill you to death inside of 3 rounds!
I got a f 'ing vuvuzela, I can say so far I'm not impressed with this Kwanzaa thing. I'm going to go celebrate Diwali, instead.
Obama has accelerated drones, continued gitmo, did not hold financial crash companies accountable.
I like the work on economy, ACA, environment, Iran & China progress. We could have done more if GOP had actually been involved instead of playing politics.
Like I have said anyone who is extreme on either side is in a dream world. We have made progress but it could be better. Some things that matter still need to be addressed.
Because we let them, we are drawn into politics instead of working on issues.
This thread has gone nowhere. Why are we all still posting? Everyone knows what they believe and its just repeating over and over.
