And following orders is no excuse for committing crimes. There was this thing called the Nuremburg Trials a while back on that very topic.<br /><br />And yet it's like the whole entitled part of the country has collective amnesia about that. Might makes right and they think that's a good thing. Just do what the guy in the most riot gear tells you.<br /><br />I hope the good people at the sharp end of these horrible events can force justice back into the mix. We're all doomed without it.quixotehttp://www.molvray.com/acidtest/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-78607087715729282352014-08-17T09:42:18.854-05:002014-08-17T09:42:18.854-05:00An insightful read.

I find your take on the expected "justice" to be sad, accurate, and troubling. If we don't expect justice, we're less likely to get any, but what else can we think when they do the same damn thing every time.<br /><br /> -Doug in Oaklanddinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-30303275540261207022014-08-14T11:42:38.450-05:002014-08-14T11:42:38.450-05:00MSNBC, people in twittersphere and the blogosphere...MSNBC, people in twittersphere and the blogosphere seem to be covering this with the attention, concern and yes, reverence (for Mr. Brown's family) it deserves - and as we sit back - shock and awed and turning to prayer to calm the sinking feelings of anger and despair I can't help but wonder - where do we as a nation go from here? Why are the number one stories on the internet and news channels still a concern for whether or not POTUS and Hil hugged in Martha's Vineyard over mimosas? Why isn't the National Guard of Missouri being nationalized and these armed bruts being challenged? Sigh.

When al Jazeera America has boots on the ground to cover this, where the @#%^*%()& is Brian Williams? Anderson Cooper? Diane Sawyer? Bob Modela?

I was afraid of the police when I lived there and I’m white. The police have always done what they want and have had an attitude of superiority. I never experienced anything close to the recent tragic events. My heart goes out to the Brown family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-80016268138429895682014-08-14T09:15:58.137-05:002014-08-14T09:15:58.137-05:00I've got nothing to add.

I cannot believe how my friends are pretending like this is all news-- it's not, and it has been this way since I was a kid. The ONLY thing surprising about this whole fiasco is the level of denial my white friends were living in. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
