Almost every time we have an incident like this we have riots, race baiting, and incomprehensibly irresponsible reporting from the left wing media before we even know what the facts are.

None of them even cares what the facts are.

The people use the circumstances to pillage their own freaking community and the media is just trying to sell papers/get ratings and drive a deeper wedge between people for political gain.

It's a hopeless situation. No amount of money, education, or police training is ever going to fix this situation because it cannot be fixed.

They had recently set up shop here in NYC, when a guy who resembled this "kid" died while being subdued by police.

I guess their hearts were no longer in it after they found out the guy had over 30 arrests on his record.

Just file it under the category "Good Riddance".

Apparently, the autopsy is done, but the results will not be released for weeks. The lame excuse is that this is because there are multiple law enforcement agencies involved.

Yeah, right.
Can you smell cover up?
Remember, in Ferguson, only information that makes the thug/thief look good should be released.

I would if I lived there. The local cops don't exactly inspire confidence.

I don't think there's any question that the Ferguson police are in over their heads. But there's also no question that the media are gleefully pouring gasoline on the fire because the political upside that comes with race-baiting can oftentimes be huge. The 2014 midterms are only 80 days away. Nothing like a little racial toxicity to get out the Democrat vote.
This whole thing is a three-ring circus. The top cop there has totally bungled it from a PR angle, and the media and the politicians are eating his lunch.

For what earthly reason would "peaceful protests" be scheduled at night?

Weeks? Try the 2nd week of November, right after the elections.

Missouri riots

http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-d...grows-ferguson

Latest is that Brown was shot six times, but not in the back. They're checking to see if there are any grassy knolls in Ferguson, but it looks like a lone gunman.

Not at all justifying it but, if he was NOT shot in the back, he obviously wasn't running "away" from the officer.
That would fit the narrative of the recent video that Brown was headed "towards" the cop......hmmmmmmm

Which fits the narrative of him being a hop-head on some stupid drugs, or of there being no real facts here, and endless, mindless speculation by the media trying to fill dead air with anything.
