I think that there are a whole lot of the aspects of this story that we still haven't learned about, and probably some that we never will.
It seems pretty obvious that the government (or the media ?) wants to push the United States back into the riots of the 1960's again. Anytime that anything happens where a white person is beaten or killed; it goes on as if nothing happened, especially if the perpetrator was a black person.
However, when a black person is injured or killed, then the news media makes it into a racist case, whether it actually was or not.
Several interesting things that i have read about this particular case, which seems to be stirring up protests and semi-riots all over the US.
One is that it started on almost the same day as the Watts riots in California 49 years ago. (sometimes dates seem to play a part in these things, don't they ?)
The second interesting thing, I was listening to a radio interview of a person who lived in the Ferguson area, and he said that he had seen ads placed on the area Craigslist, looking for people to participate in the looting and riots, and telling them where and when to meet to do that.
This pretty well says that the looting and burning were not just a spontaneous happening by a crowd of angry and frustrated people; it was a deliberately planned occurrence, designed to escalate the situation.
Once that happened, the MRAP's and other heavy military-style police officers came into the scene; and of course, by then, it certainly looked like they might be called for to stop the riots.
People were even calling for the President to establish martial law in Ferguson.
Once again, this seems like some kind of a setup, not only to divide the races of people here; but also to accustom us to expect to see this kind of para-military force. We didn't used to have this here in America; we thought it only happened in places like Russia back then.
Now, it is coming here, and into our very lives.
Here is a short video with an interesting interview of the teenager who was there with the one who was shot and killed. His story of what happened in Ferguson is a whole lot different than what the police are claiming happened that day.
