"blatant act of racism"
Yet, you only have two differing sides of the story to go with and no actual certainty in regards to the case.
Kman, please, stop. You don't know what actually happened. There has been no conclusive evidence that the kid either was shot just randomly, or if he actually did try and attack the police officer. Of course, the police could have reacted better, but fucking rioting just because a kid was shot and they think it was unjust whilst in reality they weren't there, and there is -no- conclusive evidence is moronic.

there were more than a dozen eyewitnesses that claimed that he never attacked the officer and never attempted to grab the officers gun as he claimed, and that when the officer drew his weapon he got down on his knees with his hands up begging him not to shoot, which he responded with by shooting him in the head, 4 times in the chest, and then 5 times a minute later. that is what multiple people that were on the scene, many of which had no relation to brown reported. the only account that stated anything otherwise was the cop that shot an unarmed black 18 year old 10 times. actually, after anonymous leaked the police radio tracks after the event happened they figured out that the cop that shot him never even reported that there was a death or a shooting until about 30 minutes later when one of the local news stations sent a message to the police asking if the reports that someone had been shot dead were true, at which point after being prompted by an officer he reported on what happened. there's no way we can go back in time to this specific moment to see what really happened and get the complete truth but i want you to use your critical thinking skills to decide who you should believe here

Yes, America has a history with this shit. So does England. Guess what, we rioted too when something simillar happened - and was that reaction warranted? No.
England had a history of discrimination against lower class citizens and black citizens, yet, rioting, and looting, was not an appropriate reaction. It never is.
The black community aren't fucking peacefully protesting. This is not helping their case. This is just using the situation as justification for shitty human behaviour. Has it been coming? Sure! Does that make it okay? No!

all the protests started out peaceful and were for the first few days until the ferguson police reacted by bringing in tanks, snipers, fully armed riot police, rubber bullets and tear gas and sound canons. they haven't just been firing at protesters either, the reason theres so little news coverage of this is because its a literal warzone and theyre trying to keep as quiet as possible by firing and detaining reports. they only escalated into riots after a few days after event after they started bringing in literal military weaponry howwwww in any way can you interpret that as the "black community acting poorly"

if you want i can link you the staggering statistics regarding racism proceeding this event in ferguson (or even police brutality in relation to race itself) or any countless firsthand reports from people coming within the town itself or any of the eyewitness accounts regarding browns death itself because believe me, ive been following this story closely and the lack of knowledge you have regarding it compared to the clear sense of authority you seem to have in discussing it is honestly fucking disgusting
