The protesters got tired of being harrassed and used as a source of revenue by a rogue policy dept. When it announced there would be no charges against Wilson they will feel that a white policeman will never be brought to justice.
And you don't think the mention of Sharpton brings out posters who never post otherwise (although it obviously won't happen now).
Maybe Spence adores Pres. Obama, but I don't. I think he is far better than what the Repub. party has put up for a number of years.

"Jim, you missed the point of the protests. "
I don't believe that I did. They were protesting the shooting of that one kid. White cop, dead black kid, only one possible conclusion, it was a lynching. Paul, this was not Rev King marching on Selma. This was a feral mob, incited by the tiresome predictable Al Sharpton rhetoric, reacting to something that did not happen. They weren't protesting disproportionate rates of getting pulled over for driving while black. I saw lots of people withj their hands up, lots of signs that say "black lives matter". Nothing about profiling in general.
"they will feel that a white policeman will never be brought to justice."
Unfortunately for Sharpton and his mob, there needs to be some evidence that a crime was committed, for a white police officer to be brough to justice.
Paul, do you think Officer Wilson was treated fairly? The man had to give up his career, and two seperate investigations found zero evidence he did anything wrong.

Does Al Sharpton deserve to be invited to the White House? He's a parasite, a race hustler who depends upon racial tensions to make a living.
