A WAY TO STOP VIOLENCE IN FERGUSON, MO

There is an easy way to stop the violence in Ferguson, MO.  The protestors should take personal responsibility and GO HOME.

They say they are protesting the shooting death of Brown.  However, it is about much more than that; they are expressing their rage about the police, their economic status,  racism in our country, and other injustices of life.

Take the police problem:  Sure, there are some "bad" policemen, but most of them are good men who are simply doing their job at the risk of their own lives.  What would we do without them?   Martin Luther King was smart enough to know how to act in order to accomplish his goals.  Yelling and screaming and "taunting" the cops  is not a good way to solve a problem with the police.  

Take the problem with Brown:  Had he been walking on the sidewalk like he should have, he would have never got into a confrontation with a cop and avoided being shot.  If he had not robbed the convenience store, his video would not have come to the public's attention.

Take the problem with the peaceful protests:  Anybody with any common sense knows that you cannot get a crowd of angry people together and expect everyone to act appropriately.

Take the problem with the inappropriate protesters:  Even though they may be in the minority in the crowd, they cannot shoot guns, loot stores, etc. and expect the police to sit idly by while this happens. When there is a large crowd, it is difficult to pick out the "bad guys" from the "good guys."  To expect them to be able to do so is irrational.  In all of life, the bad guys make it hard on the good ones. 

What the blacks do not consciously realize is that they have become far more racist towards whites than whites are against blacks.

I am white and have suffered many injustices in life.  However, I have to take personal responsibility for my part in these injustices.  If I was black, I am sure I would blame a lot of them on my being black.

Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton are in it for themselves, because their ability to "stir up the blacks" has been a lucrative profession.
