Thomas Sowell on Ferguson, Racism and Politics

[georgephillip]

I love Thomas Sowell.

Have been a big fan of his for a long time now. Over 20 years.

Dr. Thomas Sowell's book, The Road to Serfdom, is on my shelf. What a wise man, who rose from that deep well of poverty and ignorance to become an authority on many issues as he has a frame of reference and a common-sense mind. coupled with a great education. His single mom with a third grade education, worked three jobs,and took the time to make her kids study in school and they all achieved, to my knowledge.

"We all know what has happened since then — and it has been a complete disgrace by politicians, the media, and mobs of rioters and looters. Despite all the people who act as if they know exactly what happened, nevertheless, when the full facts come out, that can change everything."

Why do you suppose Thomas doesn't mention the disgrace by racist, corn-fed police officers brutalizing protesters and press alike?

Because that 'disgrace' is the product of your degenerate fantasies, shit-for-brains.

No, it's not.

Does it stretch you imagination too much to suggest Big Mike got what he deserved, and the citizens of Ferguson deserve better cops?

Probably for the same reason he didn't specifically mention all of the black looters, etc., who were arrested; separate issue.

Sowell did mention "rioters and looters" without referring to the heavy handed IDF-type police tactics that essentially criminalized peaceful protesters.

Conservatives have the same blind spots where cops are concerned as liberals have for law breakers.

That's a broad brush you're painting with.

Lol you use a deflection that isn't anything more than another staged lie.

The cop in that video was ordering the crowd back because he saw a person flash a gun, but the idiots wouldn't obey the cops instructions and kept walking all around him, deliberately trying to provoke him into something rash.

That you hate cops is the only apparent prejudice I see here.

There's no indication that cop in the video saw a gun; there's ample indication of a psychopath in uniform who should never been allowed to wear a badge and point his rifle at peaceful protesters.

You can't imagine the possibility that Big Mike deserved his fate AND some cops in Missouri are racists who should never have been allowed to serve the public?

Yeah...way too broad to portray what happened in Ferguson, but I can't help noticing how neither side is willing to concede there might be enough blame to go around in this particular case.

What would you like to "blame" Wilson for?

So far, Wilson seems relatively blameless, based on what I've seen. I wouldn't say the same for some of the protesters or some police officers since the shooting occurred.
