Why should I have to? Are you upset that this piece of [BLEEP] killed himself? That you can't blame the police anymore? 

So why should I have to explain Eric Garner?

How about this guy? He ACTUALLY died all because of a DEMOCRAT LIE!!

But I'm sure, as usual, you'll have nothing to say about him and his life..

P.S.. I've so far drunk a half bottle of red and currently smoking a J..

I'm ready for war.. Let's party!!

It's tragic that David Dorn died.  By all accounts he was one of the good ones.  Most police officers are good, or course.  Looters chose the night of a riot to loot.  Before that, the rioters chose a political protest as the place to riot.  The protestors who came initially shouldn't be blamed for that.  Each person should be blamed for their own choices.  People have a right to protest.  I feel like this whole line of argument is trying to silence protest.

It's true that Michael Brown didn't have his hands up.  And some (not all) of the protestors knew that and lied saying he did.  But why do you never ask why it was that particular place and time that you had so many people ready to go off? There are officer involved shootings and deaths almost daily in the US. Many don't make the news, and very very few become any kind of protest. Because in most cities the people give the cops that they see on patrol every day, who are their neighbors, the benefit of the doubt.

Did you read the DoJ report that came out about the Ferguson Police department?
