    i can write thanks. if my posts don't make sense and are a mess its due to the fact you obviously can't read properly. plenty of courses for adults to help them with that problem

    Do you know that sentences start with capital letters?

    Interesting to note that Wilson started his career in a small police force that was disbanded because it was mired in racist controversies


    Its also interesting to note that Brown grew up in a home populated by violent criminals.

    Because the person Wilson shot dead in suspicious circumstances is from the same ethnic group that was the victim of these racist controversies from Wilson's old police force.

    It raises questions about whether Wilson was influenced from his initial years working in what was deemed a racist police force.

    So its a smear tactic then? Didnt know racism was contagious.

    Do you know that being a grammar nazi is against the charter? Give it a rest.

    I am going to be offline for a few hours travelling but anyone interested ought to keep an eye on Drudge for updates to this posted on the main page in red:

    Nokia: it seems your posts are about to gain a lot more supporting evidence :)

    it further calls him into question

    how does it call this particular cop into question? had he been disciplined for racism?

    What black areas in America have you lived in?

    None. I haven't lived in 1930's Germany either but I'm positive there was rampant institutional anti-Semitism.

    Black and Hispanic people are far more likely to end up in the justice system than whites.

    Do you think Black and Hispanic people are more criminal in their nature?

    And they have even started fighting with each other over who has the right to sell t-shirts using Brown's name and picture

    and I wonder who they called for help when the disagreement turned to violence

    The FBI criminal stats confirm that both of these groups (when Hispanics are not counted as white which they often are, skewing the numbers) offend on a much higher basis in relation to their population numbers. Yet if anyone starts to go down this in providing such data they run the risk of being banned for "racism". I don't recommend anyone do this because in my experience Boards isn't really the place for this kind of in-depth discussion on race and crime. Just the way it is.

    Thats not really the point I was making.

    Micheal Brown's mother has the gall to say this even though the whole world now has seen the video of her son and the shopkeeper. Unbelievable:
    “I don’t believe a word of it. I know my son far too well, he would never do anything like that,” McSpadden said. “He would never provoke anyone to do anything to him and he wouldn’t do anything to anybody. I don’t believe a word of it.”

    Also interesting to note Wilson, ,that despite being raised by his criminal mother , who died when he was 16 ,he was able to pull himself up by the bootstraps...and that he recieved a Commendation For Extraordinary effort in the line of Duty .

    I personally dont believe this man went out and deliberately murder anyone.

    Blacks are by far the most criminal by their nature. It’s the same in every country they exist in. Look at South Africa, over 50,000 whites killed by blacks since 1994. That won’t get the media attention as the usual buzz words such as racism is used to hide reality.

    Let's not start playing the poor me card. If you start claiming black people are criminals because they're black, then you're a racist. If you say that there's a higher amount of black people committing crimes, according to statistics, then there's nothing wrong with that. It's the assumption that race dictates criminal behavior that is nonsense. Correlation does not imply causation.

    Here is a damning indictment he received from the person who managed the transition to the new police force.

    "My impression is he didn’t go above and beyond, and he didn’t get in any trouble."

    That cuts both ways. It's no different claiming Brown was shot only because he was black and assuming guilt only because Wilson was white, regardless of the facts. It's no less racist.

    I guess it isn't really. Back to the drawing board on smearing him I guess.

    Yeah, that's exactly the problem with this whole scenario. People are just assuming one thing must be true because of their already cemented belief and they're manipulating facts to fit that preconception.

    :pac:

    Only looking at the stats and ignoring the economic and social factors involved to come to the conclusion that blacks and hispanics are by their nature more violent etc is racist. Poverty is the reason for the proliferation, not colour, so you are a racist in making your ill-informed and ignorant argument

    Yes, that exactly what I said. The question is here again:

    Do you think Black people and Hispanics are criminal by their nature?

    you need to up your reading comprehension levels. He didnt say they committed more crime because of their nature. He said they committed more crime relatively speaking. Which is a statistical fact.

    No. the very question is preposterous. Nurture over nature.

    I guess this proves racists do have tiny minds

    But he was massaging the facts to miss out the important information regarding the backgrounds of those who commit criminal acts. Taking all the information paints a very different picture.
