And then hold them in prayer while we no longer feed them what they hope to read when casting bait onto this thread?

Which was really bizarre because Zimmerman is half Jewish and half Latino with afro-Caribbean roots. But the liberal dominated mainstream media couldn't present Zimmerman as he actually is because that conflicts with and undermines their ideology.
So, they simply rebranded Zimmerman into a typical white man and disingenuously presented him as such to accomplish their ongoing liberal political objectives.
The horde never even noticed... lol.

While many have speculated on the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri (and a similar police confrontation in St. Louis), what has not been widely presented is what it’s like for police officers who confront suspected criminals and may second-guess themselves at the wrong moment.

The problem with many companies, whether it is private or public entities, is they will not fire the bad employees. Instead, they will just recycle the trash, more than often, cause additional problems down the road. In major police studies, it is usually the same small groups of bad cops that are costing their cities tens of millions of dollars in lawsuits. And because of police unions, they are often kept on the force. On the other side of the spectrum, there are cops who have never fired a shot in their 25-30 year career. Why is it some cops are trigger happy and others never fired a shot?
What is your proof that the Word of God is not relevant for all of our lives?
How can there be a criminal code (politics) with no directions from the Lord?
When did man become competent to invent his own politics?
Isn't the political climate essentially & always religious?
19:1 ALEPH.
Blessed are they that are perfect in the way,
Who walk in the law of Jehovah.
2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies,
That seek him with the whole heart.
3 Yea, they do no unrighteousness;
They walk in his ways.
4 Thou hast commanded us thy precepts,
That we should observe them diligently.
5 Oh that my ways were established
To observe thy statutes!
6 Then shall I not be put to shame,
When I have respect unto all thy commandments.
7 I will give thanks unto thee with uprightness of heart,
When I learn thy righteous judgments.
8 I will observe thy statutes:
Oh forsake me not utterly.
9 BETH.
Wherewith shall a young man cleanse his way?
By taking heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee:
Oh let me not wander from thy commandments.
11 Thy word have I laid up in my heart,
That I might not sin against thee.
12 Blessed art thou, O Jehovah:
Teach me thy statutes.
13 With my lips have I declared
All the ordinances of thy mouth.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies,
As much as in all riches.
15 I will meditate on thy precepts,
And have respect unto thy ways.
16 I will delight myself in thy statutes:
I will not forget thy word.
17 GIMEL.
Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live;
So will I observe thy word.
18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold
Wondrous things out of thy law.
. . .
23 Princes also sat and talked against me;
But thy servant did meditate on thy statutes.
24 Thy testimonies also are my delight
And 3my counsellors.
25 DALETH.
My soul cleaveth unto the dust:
Quicken thou me according to thy word.
26 I declared my ways, and thou answeredst me:
Teach me thy statutes.
27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts:
So shall I meditate on thy wondrous works.
28 My soul 4melteth for heaviness:
Strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
29 Remove from me the way of falsehood;
And grant me thy law graciously.
30 I have chosen the way of faithfulness:
Thine ordinances have I set before me.
31 I cleave unto thy testimonies:
O Jehovah, put me not to shame.
32 I will run the way of thy commandments,
When thou shalt enlarge my heart.
33 HE.
Teach me, O Jehovah, the way of thy statutes;
And I shall keep it unto the end.
34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law;
Yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments;
For therein do I delight.
36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies,
And not to covetousness.
. . .
41 VAV.
Let thy lovingkindness also come unto me, O Jehovah,
Even thy salvation, according to thy word.
42 So shall I have an answer for him that reproacheth me;
For I trust in thy word.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth;
For I have hoped in thine ordinances.
44 So shall I observe thy law continually
For ever and ever.
45 And I shall walk at liberty;
For I have sought thy precepts.
46 I will also speak of thy testimonies before kings,
And shall not be put to shame.
. . .
79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me;
13And they shall know thy testimonies.
When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
85 The proud have digged pits for me,
Who are not according to thy law.
89 LAMEDH.
For ever, O Jehovah,
Thy word is settled in heaven.
90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations:
Thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
91 15They abide this day according to thine ordinances;
For all things are thy servants.
92 Unless thy law had been my delight,
I should then have perished in mine affliction.
93 I will never forget thy precepts;
For with them thou hast quickened me.
94 I am thine, save me;
For I have sought thy precepts.
95 The wicked have waited for me, to destroy me;
But I will consider thy testimonies.
96 I have seen an end of all perfection;
But thy commandment is exceeding broad.
97 MEM.
Oh how love I thy law!
It is my meditation all the day.
98 Thy commandments make me wiser than mine enemies;
For they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers;
For thy testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the aged,
Because I have kept thy precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way,
That I might observe thy word.
102 I have not turned aside from thine ordinances;
For thou hast taught me.
103 How sweet are thy words unto my 17taste!
Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through thy precepts I get understanding:
Therefore I hate every false way.
105 NUN.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,
And light unto my path.
113 SAMEKH.
I hate them that are of a double mind;
But thy law do I love.
114 Thou art my hiding-place and my shield:
I hope in thy word.
115 Depart from me, ye evil-doers,
That I may keep the commandments of my God.
116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live;
And let me not be ashamed of my hope.
. . .
118 Thou hast set at nought all them that err from thy statutes;
For their deceit is 18falsehood.
123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation,
And for thy righteous word.
124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy lovingkindness,
And teach me thy statutes.
125 I am thy servant; give me understanding,
That I may know thy testimonies.
126 It is time for Jehovah to work;
For they have made void thy law.
127 Therefore I love thy commandments
Above gold, yea, above fine gold.
128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right;
And I hate every false way.
Thy testimonies are wonderful;
Therefore doth my soul keep them.
130 The opening of thy words giveth light;
It giveth understanding unto the simple.
. . .
136 Streams of water run down mine eyes,
Because they observe not thy law.
137 TSADHE.
Righteous art thou, O Jehovah,
And upright are thy judgments.
138 Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness
And very faithfulness.
139 My zeal hath 21consumed me,
Because mine adversaries have forgotten thy words.
140 Thy word is very pure;
Therefore thy servant loveth it.
141 I am small and despised;
Yet do I not forget thy precepts.
142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
And thy law is truth.
. . .
144 Thy testimonies are righteous for ever:
Give me understanding, and I shall live.
150 They draw nigh that follow after wickedness;
They are far from thy law.
151 Thou art nigh, O Jehovah;
And all thy commandments are truth.
152 Of old have I known from thy testimonies,
That thou hast founded them for ever.
161 SHIN.
Princes have persecuted me without a cause;
But my heart standeth in awe of thy words.
162 I rejoice at thy word,
As one that findeth great spoil.
163 I hate and abhor falsehood;
But thy law do I love.
164 Seven times a day do I praise thee,
Because of thy righteous ordinances.
165 Great peace have they that love thy law;
And they have no occasion of stumbling.
166 I have hoped for thy salvation, O Jehovah,
And have done thy commandments.
167 My soul hath observed thy testimonies;
And I love them exceedingly.
168 I have observed thy precepts and thy testimonies;
For all my ways are before thee.
. . .
172 Let my tongue sing of thy word;
For all thy commandments are righteousness.
173 Let thy hand be ready to help me;
For I have chosen thy precepts.
174 I have longed for thy salvation, O Jehovah;
And thy law is my delight.
175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee;
And let thine ordinances help me.
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant;
For I do not forget thy commandments.

There Are Different Types of Postings
1) On topic, discuss & debate the issue.
Here is the evidence that a principal did wickedly or was innocent.
Bible proof for standards of evidence brought in.
2) Off topic, pursue hobby-horse topic.
The KJV is perfect.
3) Ad hominem: attack the poster.
You are a racist for your POV.
4) Superiority: claim that a POV is wrong because the posters are not holy; now if only you were holy like myself, then you might understand.
Only I understand Ferguson, because I am holy & filled -- you cannot understand.
5) Pietistic: Condemn the manner in which the debate is being conducted.
(If you were holy like me, you wouldn't discuss in such a manner.)
Shame on you all. If you were holy, you wouldn't discuss a shooting in Ferguson. We holy-shomlies only have time for lofty spiritual concepts.

I remember that video from long ago of the Texas officer being gunned down. The thing is, that was then this is now.
And it is not a second guess when a suspect is not armed, thereby posing no threat save, in the Michael Brown case, being big, black, and in Ferguson Missouri.
The officer in this particular case did not know about the strong armed robbery at the time he confronted Brown.
Six shots in broad daylight, no excuse of, I thought I saw a gun, is not second guessing ones self. Especially when most of those shots are on the inner right arm of Michael Brown. Not at the mid-line of the upper and lower right arm. Not on the outside of the right arm and into the right deltoid. Shots fired into the inner right arm, the interior aspect, that part of the arm that, when the arm is at rest, i.e. down, is closest to the body.
Shots fired marking the right pectoral, the right neck, the orbital socket in a direct hit to the skull, and a direct shot to the top of the head. The TOP of the head! Not a shot that grazed above the forehead, launched through the center suture and cracked the skull. A shot directly in the TOP of the head. If a man is coming at you, and you are firing at a distance, a bullet does not travel from the shooter (cop), travel stop, and then direct itself directly down into the top of the skull.
Yes, law enforcement officers are killed every day.
But how many unarmed civilians are killed by law enforcement every single day?
This thread talks about one.
The poor, rest his soul, officer in the video is immaterial to this case. As is every single cop that died today, yesterday, and every single day since Michael Brown was shot.

The same goes for teacher's unions. U.S. public education has tumbled to just average for industrialized nations and continues to regress despite more than twice as much in real dollars being currently spent on it as when it was near the top.
In fact, the same goes for ALL public unions which should ALL be immediately decertified from the federal government down to the smallest podunk town.
Good post.

"It had seemed to the four clean-cut college freshman that night like a typical McDonald’s: spanking clean, well-lighted, and safe. It was in a good neighborhood too, right next to Texas A&M University in College Station – a campus known for its friendly atmosphere and official down-home greeting: 'howdy.'
Out on a double date, the two couples pulled into the parking lot of so-called “University McDonald’s” shortly after 2 a.m. that Sunday – and beheld a scene unlike anything portrayed in all those wholesome McDonald’s television commercials. Before them, hundreds of young black males were loitering about, some without shirts.
'You're in the wrong neck of the woods, cowboys,' Giesen recalled a young black male saying. In an instant, a bloodthirsty black mob was upon them."
They murdered two innocent white kids from the suburbs for no other reason than they were two innocent white kids from the suburbs.
"Ward suffered for the last agonizing moments of his life at the hands of the atrocious animals as he endured a seemingly never ending series of blows. Upon being knocked to the ground, the crowd stomped on his head with some even jumping up and down on his defenseless body."
"The race of the assailants was scrubbed from local news coverage; and utterly missing from tersely written wire-service stories about a Brazos County jury’s whopping $27 million negligence verdict on July 30 against 'University McDonald’s' – an outlet owned by the Oak Brook, Illinois-based fast-food giant.
What the media considered unmentionable nevertheless loomed over a riveting seven-day trial, which came amid the growing phenomenon of black-on-white violence — unprovoked attacks on whites and black mob violence."

If this thread is going to end, praise God, I think it is fitting that today's funeral service for Mr.Brown help to close it out.
We can cast blame, make claims, etc... Facts are facts and those are going to be considered by the grand jury now impaneled, as well as those in the federal department of justice who are investigating.
In the meantime, I watch this funeral and wonder why we're being directed to pay attention to this by what appears to be an obsessive media, when other police offenses make the news briefly, and ISIS continues its campaign. How is this issue that important to a media that does not fairly cover every topic of this nature this obsessively?
And finally, I am reminded of the wisdom; save for the grace of God there go I.
What if this was my father shot? Or my brother? Or my cousin? Or my child, if I had children. What if this were my best friend?
What if it were those "you" , readers here, care about?
Would we argue here as we do now? Would we say the officer had the right?
May God bless us each and every one that we don't ever find that we have to actually answer that question due to our personal real life making it necessary to find that answer.
God rest the soul of Michael Brown. No matter who people thought you were, what you are is a departed son, friend, family member, and citizen of Ferguson Missouri.
God have mercy upon the officer and his family and upon all who grieve the untimely loss of their loved ones to senseless violence.
We must become a better people, a better race, human race, than this.

God have mercy upon the officer and his family and upon all who grieve the untimely loss of their loved ones to senseless violence.
We must become a better people, a better race, human race, than this.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, I did not read the whole thread, but God is against the "protesters" aka rioters, the proof is in the pudding in 4 of 6 things the Lord detests, especially the last one:
There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
[SUP]17 [/SUP] haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
[SUP]18[/SUP] a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
[SUP]19 [/SUP] a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
