    Ferguson: Moving on..why none of this will mater...

    The number of guns is not the problem but rather gun laws, training, and enforcement of gun laws effects how guns are handled in society. Switzerland is in the top 5 countries for high gun ownership but yet they have a very low crime rate, comparable to your country. Compare that to many South...

    Ferguson: Moving on..why none of this will mater...

    Its because the law authorizes them to shoot out of self defense. In Britian, most officers don't carry guns so that's a different scenario. Blacks are probably shot more, probably because they commit a lot of the violent crimes. But before anyone sees cops shooting Blacks as a problem...

    Ferguson: Moving on..why none of this will mater...

    How does saying what the police do wrong also show what the Ferguson residents do wrong? Sometimes or probably most times tear gas was used when police came under attack or were provoked by protestors,. Reading your statements makes it seem as if the police are always wrong.

    Demands of Protesters. Is this acceptable?

    I agree with you here. My response was not for peaceful protests but rather for when civil disobedience would be okay I think going through all of the options that your questions and points imply would take away from the effect of the civil disobedient act, which usually is to hurt the...

    Demands of Protesters. Is this acceptable?

    I don't have any instances to use as an example. In general I will say that the movement has to have reasonable standard or evidence of an injustice. Its too early to say that the Ferguson situation meets that standard when there is conflicting evidence along with unknown information...

    Ferguson: Moving on..why none of this will mater...

    Well when you talk about the police response as if the have no threats to respond to, and you do it frequently, then that is a bit misleading.

    Demands of Protesters. Is this acceptable?

    If it is through nonviolent means and it causes no harm then I'd personally be okay with it. But once there is no clear definition or standard, then it can get detrimental in an already volatile situation. And as for the OP questions, some of the protestors demands are unreasonable I only...

    Demands of Protesters. Is this acceptable?

    Civil disobedience is not limited to stopping traffic. The article title says just stopping traffic but one organizer threatens more civil disobedience when you read the article further. I'm painting the worse case scenario based on the civil disobedience that has already happened both in...

    Ferguson: Moving on..why none of this will mater...

    You already talked about the peaceful part. My role here has been mostly filling in those areas that both sides tend to ignore. My position is not to make any judgment until all facts are in. Seems most of these protestors have already made up their minds and the media is not brave enough to...

    Demands of Protesters. Is this acceptable?

    Did you read the civil disobedience part of the article? What if the civil disobedience involves violence they come to my area and start attacking innocent people and business owners? Don't expect me at least to just sit around and not exercise my 2nd amendment right.

    Ferguson: Moving on..why none of this will mater...

    Why or how wouldn't they know peace? Are you saying that it wont mean rioting or looting, something which has happened already and you keep forgetting to include in your statements? Here's what one organizer said, "If some of our demands are not dealt with, you'll see more civil...

    Ferguson: Moving on..why none of this will mater...

    What does "no justice NO peace" mean? Is that some type of threat from these protestors to engage in civil disobedience? I hope the kids don't have to see let alone hear such things. And if peace can not be kept then the police should respond with all that they need to secure the city.

    Ferguson: Moving on..why none of this will mater...

    Getting rid of an entire department does not require that every officer and staff to do something wrong. Are you saying Black cops and other minorities in the staff were racist against other or their own minority group? Can you explain why 7 cops were rehired at the department you're...

    I was never a racist to begin with. I deleted that comment of mine. It's also not about disagreeing with his entire post as you do; i only disagree with one questionable part about biology.

    Ferguson: Moving on..why none of this will mater...

    I don't agree with the view that any one race has biological superiority over any other race. Race superiority is a racially charged view. Personally, i see that both Caucasians and African-Americans have some within their groups that fail and some that are educated and succeed. All races if...

    This point of her's has already been refuted. Here's one of my earlier responses:

    Ferguson: Moving on..why none of this will mater...

    I'm actually on a cellphone and the battery is dying so I don't have time to go back and read his full post again. Like I said before IF the view is as you said then I disagree with that view. But it would be fair to let him clarify because earlier he said it was an "excuse" used by race baiters.

    Ferguson: Moving on..why none of this will mater...

    On a Debate forum, its not your job to call people racist or to make any other of YOUR own personal judgments about someone. If you want to attack something show how my views are wrong rather than talking about how i am as a person. I've seen at least one potential racist comment about...

    Ferguson: Moving on..why none of this will mater...

    Imaginary Friends said, "that excuse is the inability of blacks to thrive in complex white civilizations". If you read the words and sentence before that you would notice he was saying that it is an excuse that chronic race card users use. If he was saying that Blacks are incapable of...
