Armed white cop shoots unarmed black kid. That's not racism, that's KingCharlemagne Oct 2014 #49

Gee, these "protesters" are some really classy people. NaturalHigh Oct 2014 #56

I watched the video and saw a variety of things happening davidpdx Oct 2014 #62

I respectfully disagree. I think protests like this help the cause more than hurt it. The same KingCharlemagne Oct 2014 #63

Again, you have no idea what this fan supports or doesn't support. GGJohn Oct 2014 #64

Yeah, she came to the protest with the express intent to 'spit on people'. There was absolutely KingCharlemagne Oct 2014 #65

I seem to remember reading that one of the protesters tried to use the flag staff to stab GGJohn Oct 2014 #66
