[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1458905, member: 18225"] For starters, you talk about 'justice'. You believe that 'justice' was served, and by your measure it was. Yet, if the framework that supports and defines 'justice' is itself distorted, than the outcome lacks meaning. The people who are protesting (not the violent arsonist looter rioters, who IMO are idiots) are protesting the utter failure of our system which allows young black men to be shot down by cops with no repercussion. (Around 400 death-by-cop shootings per year in America, with the overwhelming majority of victims being black, and 99% of said cops are 'cleared'? That sounds like UPS numbers...) Garbage in, garbage out. As far as the rioters are concerned, my guess is they don't live in Ferguson. And if they do, I'll leave you with a quote: "A riot is the language of the unheard."
