Isn't it illegal or at least highly frowned upon to protest in U.S. military uniform? Even if he is, as I assume, out of the military by now. So he's a former marine. Also, I don't know if you talked with the 'protesters' or just took photos of them. Did you have a chance to speak with them, and what were the reasons they gave for supporting an indictment, against the grand jury's decision? What did your friend say about his decision to help organize protests? Do you know why he wanted to do that? Michael Scott fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Dec 14, 2014 |

Can someone give me a summary of what happened without any spin one way or the other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Michael_Brown

foutre posted:to be honest, there are probably more people who have a better opinion of the police than they should than the other way around Your opinion is dumb and ignorant. There are tons of people who have no respect for the rule of law. Things tend to work better (in developed countries) when people have a healthy respect for the law and by extension police. Some might even say it is important for society. Did you even read about this situation or the participants in any way? Your opinion reads like part of the problem. Dude I used to believe what you do, but then I grew the gently caress up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNFTfR6WycA Michael Scott fucked around with this message at 13:59 on Dec 16, 2014 |

As people who follow this sort of stuff know, that officer was immediately fired, arrested, and charged with felony assault; the trial is still ongoing. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/sean-groubert-former-south-carolina-trooper-charged-in-shooting/ This is a product of some states utilizing grand juries whereas others just go ahead and charge 'em.
