It's obvious the current speaker does not understand the process at all and is only focusing on the skin color issue.  He might have been unarmed, but he was in the process of committing multiple crimes and had to be stopped. That's right, call for a new law, demanding cops wear body cameras.  Who the he!l is going to pay for that???  How about demand the young thugs stop committing crimes in the first place? 4951

Unfortunately, this conference is only fueling the fire. Still can't take responsibility and still trying to find ways out. 4951

It's just the blame game, over and over.  Blame everyone except the criminals. Let the criminals roam  free and do as they please,  They are owed because they suffer discrimination.  The real criminals are the authorities, the prosecutors and those in the justice system.  Thank you, Channel 2, for cutting away while Al Sharpton further stirs the pot.   4951

Im so sick of all this its gotta be a racist cop.Im a black and have been for 49 years and i have never had a police officer do nothing to me but respect me as i did to him.im sure there might a bad apple or two but for the most part someone ought to teach there kids respect for people in general and most of all the police.Not brain wash them against the police.If i was that same officer i would have shot him to now being black would that had changed anything.Teach your kids it might save there life 1 day. 4951

@mitch08: What were you before you became black? Was this a Michael Jackson in reverse process? Justin Bieber might be interested.

I just had a good laugh while Al Sharpton was on the 55" TV in our front customer lounge area at my work.There are probably 8-10 customers waiting and 2 of them are black.Both of them are 3ft from the TV watching with laser focus. Everyone else of varied race, color, nationality etc is sat waiting on their orders.and I so snapped a picture as I walked by lol.... 4951

@mitch08: I disagree. Racism on all sides can go away if all of the community organizers would stop stirring the pot and focus their efforts toward true unity. Preaching division and hatred isn't helping anyone.
 
Look at young kids in daycare and pre-school. They are 100% colorblind and only see their friends as friends. It isn't until they are taught division by adults do they start to believe it and live it. 4951

@mitch08: Pretty much every time the conversation gets beyond the "black vs white" level and down to the root of the problem, this is the meat of the discussion.  Racism exists.  Oppression of the poor exists.  A disproportionate number of minorities are poor, it's a fact.  But the root of the problem is cultural, not racial; it is cultural, not financial.  Being a person of color does not make you a genetic thug.  Being born into poverty does not make you a thug.  The culture created around these kids generation after generation is the root of the issue and the only ones that can fix the issues facing the black community are the black community members.  Until the black community stands up and says "enough"; until fathers and mothers start acting like fathers and mothers; until adults in the community take responsibility for their actions and their environment; until they hold themselves accountable first and then raise children that have self-respect and respect for others; until then nothing will change. 4951

@shodan66: That's very true.  We all know blacks who are from good families & educated and aren't thugs, but for some reasons we seem to hear only about the thugs & criminals. It's media overload and it's easy to fall into generalizations about a whole race.  I try & judge each person on their own merit and interaction with that person. 4951
