    It’s Not What You’ve Been Told

    Very interesting movie... not sure if this belongs under politics... cause to me this is NOT political...

    it's something else... that said please move if it's considered political by our mods... thank you...

    that said had to purchase it to watch it on Amazon... not exactly cheap either...

    heard at first Amazon refused it... but their customer base made em back off and list it...

    Street thug who got shot and died during a scuffle with a cop after he robbed a convenience store in Ferguson. Kicked off several days of rioting. Remember "Hands up don't shoot"? The phrase was invented there to incite uninformed crowds to violence. He never said the phrase and he was never in a posture to stand down.

    Ok, Saint Mikie the First, if Barak had a son....

    and likely a marker for when this sh!t got out of hand....

    Obama's "son" was Trayvon Martin. IMO his death was the start of all the nonsense. As soon as we found out that Zimmerman was not Aryan (as OBarry assumed and hoped) and all the evidence came to light the rioters had to find other causes. Most people still think the photo of 12 year old Trayvon was how he looked at the time of the altercation.

    Saint Mikey IIRC was the next and far from the last.

    What 3M said but I would add a bit to include his Mother and Baby Daddy that took a situation that was actually cooling down and threw gas on it. After the Officer was cleared of any wrong doing in the court ruling. The Step Father (I use that term very loosely) climbed up on a car and yelled "BURN THIS Bitch down" and triggered the Riot to explode. She Later ran for Ferguson City Council and was soundly defeated.

    One of the bigger and better area Farmers Markets used to be Ferguson and well worth the 120 mile drive. After the Michael Brown Incident the Market took a nose dive. 6 years later the Market there has recovered a some but is a long way from being what it once was. I picked up a couple of the Southern IL vendors that made the trip over there for my Farmers Markets that just won't go back there because "the Area is to dangerous now" and "Income from the stand is about 1/2 of what it was pre riot." And I gotta stop saying my markets LOL I retired from my Markets this year and broke the Market Not for profit off from the T5R Inc and gave the Market Board/NFP board full ownership and control of the Markets.

    Complex issues here, but:
    It's easy to boil it all down if you know what to look for.
    First and most obvious, got caught doing a felony, and got shot being stupid
    Thugs Mom gets in front of the MSM ( along with the same left/socialist black "Leaders") you always see standing behind her at the story report. Ya know, to tell the world he was just turning his life around, and he only needed to steel that cash to buy formula for his baby!
    Mom gets a bunch of crowd funding to fight Da Man, and mom gets a nice payday for being mother to a dead thugga
    The same political leaders bow to these assholes, and Obummer really lit the fuse during all this, including helping form BLM's "Movement" to fight the evil whitey cops bent of killin blacks!

    All this went from; Stop being a crook and doing bad or you get shot to........
    Riot, burn, loot, demand reperations for slavery, defund the police, sue every one for shooting little Timmy for doing felony shit and getting caught and getting shot becasue he dosn't put his fucking hands up and follow instructions, BANG, dead Timmy, and now the cities burn!

    If Mikie had just listened to Chris Rock, he would be alive today (maybe).

    The direct answer to the question is pure T stupidity. The shots were a direct consequence of a serious case of poor decision making.
