Now there I would agree with you but as I've said several times in this thread, the riots are not a response to the Ferguson shooting. They're a response to years of frustration built up by a real or perceived inequity. The shooting didn't cause the riots to happen, it merely cause them to happen now. You're examining the wrong thing.This is what we fail to do with Ferguson.
Of course the shooting should be examined, any killing should be, but you're not going to find the answers to the riots there. If you want answers to the riots you need to be examining the inequities, real or imagined, that have built up the level of frustration to a point where people will decide to go out and riot over an incident that they cannot know was race related.
Perhaps he missed the point you were trying to make but I don't think he missed the most important point of what you actually posted. This statement was pretty unequivocal:-you completely miss the point
What you did there was take two groups of people and conflate them as the same group based on nothing more than the colour of their skin.the constant statements that these people are protesting legitimate issues and are good people: we see these same good people looting, burning, spreading violence throughout the community
