That pic is probably staged, so lame.

(My first response to this pic is what I really thought)

 

Sometimes you can't convince a cynic.

Children are capable of great things and can captivate the best in all of us.

 

Your linked article references the boy as a "12 year old."

 

It was, eh?

 

Why is the lad crying?

 

I dig sarcasm even without the green font.

Ah! "His response about his concerns regarding the level of police brutality towards young black kids" That's what I thought Some one not telling the kid the whole truth
That is really despicable. Making the whole thing even worse than it is. This article is in the same theme, same evil.

 

Lol I totally read this in a rush Limbaugh/Alex Jones voice.

 

Someone should tell the kid, and it could even be the media, that you really shouldn't go pick a hassle with a cop. You really could end up getting hurt if you scare him badly enough.
Then there is this little tid bit. The town of Ferguson is about 75% black people. Only 12% of the citizens voted in the recent election (prior to this Nov.) and then over half of those that voted were white citizens.

Now the facts are, you really can't bitch about the City management and the police if you don't vote. Burning the damn town down and wanting to hang a white cop as your first civics participation is
really fucking dumb. Someone need to tell the kid these facts.

This young man has every right to be scared.
