Here is a little footage that seemed to be edited from most of the news reports last night. Everything I saw initially ended with Browns mother in tears being consoled. It ends with Brown's stepfather rallying the troops while standing on top of a vehicle repeating..."BURN THIS BITCH DOWN!!!! BURN THIS BITCH DOWN!!!"
This whole deal has troubled me from the start. The media was like a bunch of vultures. BLACK man, WHITE cop in every headline. Who gives a flying fuck what color the officer of the alleged suspect was?
What happened to the equality Martin Luther King had preached for? Is equality what blacks/minorities want or is it superiority and immunity from the laws we must all abide by?
If Romney or McCain (just random examples) had said they would grant blacks "permission" to eat fried chicken if they voted for their party it would still be making headlines today right along with the kid that allegedly stole what he wanted out of a store, strong armed the employee trying to stop him then decided to go ballistic on a police officer.

It's as if the public is scared and the press is reluctant (understatement) to tell it like it is anymore. We get it, you are black....or white....or Hispanic or American Indian. What does that have to do with anything? Why should you (or we) be treated any differently in 2014 because of the color of our (your) skin?
