We never have given peace a chance. Maybe it’s time to do just that. Give peace a chance!
Beautiful song and sentiment.

Fergie, I love that song and group.

The Shot Heard Round the World – Redux

SLM, I’m here in Vermont and we don’t have MB here. I would love to have a store that pays its employees fairly and has decent products here in Vermont.
I really like Artie T. as far as rich people go he sounds like a fair guy.

Honestly if a business treats its employees well it will flourish! Sounds like MB will flourish.
Good article, my friend.

The Bubbling Cauldrons in Ferguson and NYC

KT, think about our(your) weekend music thread. There is so many different kinds of music. I for one enjoy most all. Thanks BTW for bringing the weekend music to us.

Deadalus, I wish that we could always live like the music lovers in your comment. “If you loved the music, you were accepted, no matter your race.”

To me that should be everyone. I can’t think of anyone I know who doesn’t like music. I even used to roller skate with a deaf lady who could feel the music even though she could not hear it. She was an awesome skater too. Of course that was many many years ago.

MBX, you mention all the cell phone cameras. I kinda like that they are out there. I feel that all police officers should have personal cameras and dash board cameras. Why? Because I think they will act properly when they know they are being filmed, and it will also protect them from false accusations, which there are to some extent.
All and all I like your article. Thanks for posting it.

Promise and Problems

ST, your wisdom is showing.

Brodie, in 68 I was stationed at Fort Meade Md.
I had gone through riot control training at Fort Dix, NJ the was sent to Meade to train the Sixth Armored Cav. what I had learned including some of the Psychology (A few instigators get the people all hot and pissed off then they leave).

When MLK was assassinated there were riots in DC and we went in and dispersed the rioters. As far as I know not one person was hurt while we did our job. (I’m proud of that part of my service).

Peace

Brodie, I feel like you are the “cool head” in the room. You have a right to find fault with anyone who says anything derogatory about Michael Brown but you keep your cool. I for one appreciate you for the article.

I don’t know if the gangsta rap music has an influence on kids today but it seems to glorify violence. To me that is a part of the problem. By far it is not the biggest part of the problem, though. I think AdLib has brought to our attention the military stuff that police have now. That stuff and the military contractors instructing the police on how to use that equipment.
Our domestic police are not in a war zone and don’t need the military equipment. And those “contractors” should not be training our police. The “contractors” are most all ex military who were let go from the military for bad acts. In my opinion they are the last choice to train our domestic police.

Again good job, my friend.

Kes, I wonder what the police see when they look in those mirrors? Do they see “jack booted” cops or what?

Brodie, you make excellent sense. Michael Brown made a mistake. That mistake cost him his life. Darren Wilson made a BIG mistake. He killed an unarmed youth. Police have a dangerous job, but they are trained in self defense and how to deescalate a bad situation. Darren did NOT do a good job of deescalating the situation. My heart breaks every time any young person is killed for any reason.

Mr. Knight has had many chances to turn his life around. He could have chosen to set a good example for the young people who listen to his “music”.
He didn’t take that opportunity sadly. Even more sadly too many young people listen to the kind of “music” that glorifies violence. I’m sure that youths of any race fall into the trap that that “music” glorifies.

Young people have not completed the development of their brains. That is why I have said that “youth is wasted on the young”. They need guidance from responsible adults, people like you and me and the folks here at the Planet.

Brodie, this article was well written and well timed.
On another point, I doubt that I could be as fair minded as Michael Brown Sr. if it were my son shot down in the street.

Peace and equality for all.

Help Us Test Drive Our New Chat System!

PPO, it was nice to chat with you and get to know you better.
Did you see that you could click on the lower right and see who was on the Planet at that time? I like that feature too.
Thanks for the second!

Ad, I liked having the Vox Populi on during the trial period. I liked the bit that let me see who was on while I was and being able to talk to one of my friends real time.
Any chance we can have it there all the time?

Ad, I clicked the button and got a blank page. Using a PC, windows 7 maybe. Not so sure.

Living With What You Have Done .

Thanks for the encouragement.

CL, cheney and bush are responsible for thousands of lives being lost , both American and “enemy”. They just used soldiers as their weapons.
