Ferguson, MO Riot/Protesting

This is a pretty huge topic right now, especially living somewhat close to all this. I'd like to hear how you guys feel about this. If you aren't aware, this has sprung from a teen being shot several times and killed by an officer Saturday. The officer and department have gotten a lot of heat for this from the community to say the least. This includes actions taken against them by Anonymous, as well as rioting breaking out, leaving things vandalized and even going as far to have burned down a gas station. If you'd like to learn more in depth about it, just Google it, you'll find plenty.

I think the riots are pointless and dangerous... What's the point?

Well, the twelve year olds leaked their shit and fucked with their sites for a bit, masks and all, I guess. Killing people isn't an officer's duty. Deadly force was undoubtedly unnecessary in this case, as well as the man shot and killed a few days later in St. Louis. He was in attempt of suicide by officers, simply robbing a store and approaching them with a knife, commanding they kill him. He was no threat with a knife at his side, shoot him in the foot and that niggas not doing shit else.

Let's think logically here. I know it's hard, but bare with me. That thread was made extremely close to the time of the incident breaking. OBVIOUSLY, he wasn't there, and he didn't know the facts. As with anything of this sort, details have been discovered, showing that this was not at all the case. The last I'd heard, there was a physical altercation between the two. (Entirely disproving this story already.) To keep it short: Afterward, the man attempted to flee, the officer then shooting him (8?) times, leaving him dead. In NO way did this have reason to end fatally. Officers are more than capable of ending this situation without much incident, he chose not to. The second part was just another example pointing to the unnecessary lethal force used by officers oh-so-often. I live here, so I know of this. This story wasn't nearly as huge as the case of Michael Brown, though.

Not only these, but this force was also used against innocent protesters and press, entirely violating their rights.
