There are some details and incidents about racial unrest recently here in the United States.
In April 1992, one of the nation’s largest bouts of racial violence came behind the acquittal of four Los Angeles police officers who were videotaped beating unarmed Rodney King in April 1992. When that unrest subsided, 53 people had been killed and more than 2,000 had been injured. Property damage was estimated at $1 billion dollars or more.
Over the past 30 years, all hell has broken loose on numerous occasions, the most recent of course being the headline-grabbing racial unrest in Ferguson, Missouri. Compared to previous incidents, Ferguson has been pretty rough both in terms of its duration and the number of arrests involved.
These racial unrest was roiled after 18-year-old Michael Brown, an unarmed teen, who was black, was shot and killed by Darren Wilson, a white police officer, on Aug. 9.
If justice and fairness does not begin with the arrest of the police officer who killed Mike Brown, race riots might very well ensue again. Black males, who have recently been gunned down, wrestled down and/or killed by white men and/or white police officers who claim “reasonable fear” or “self-defense” as their defense, is becoming a weak or repeated cover.
Join me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I discuss “Are we on the verge of race riots in America 2014?”.
I will also be taking your calls on the subject at 1-347-426-3645, just press “1” to speak with the host.
All “Conversations Links” in this email make it possible to access tonight’s show.
See you on the air!
If Darren Wilson is NOT CHARGED I’d say it’s VERY possible.

We need to focus on the facts of the case and let the justice system take its course.
Every day we are hearing the police get more and more out of hand with their use of force.
If we don’t hold them accountable, then it is only a matter of time they turn that force against us.
Was the cop abusing his power, or was his response reasonable in the circumstances…I don’t know, you don’t know.
We need to find out before issuing judgement on either side.
And my God! I pray it doesn’t come to race riots in MO or anywhere for that matter.

There is only one cause…justice. When justice is denied this is what you get. Let’s get real here. We have a massive racial disparity in this town and it was a powder keg ready for a spark…and spark the cop did. A nearly all white police force knocks off the wrong black kid and they provided the excuse for the thugs to come out and destroy the infrastructure. Hey, it could happen anywhere.
There is injustice and you can only kick your dog so long before he bites your balls people!

We are witnessing the result of the Judaization of the American police – the early stages – in Missouri. The cold-blooded murder of a black teenager, who with his hands up was reportedly begging a cop for his life, is exactly what we see daily in Israel. Just as in Israel, the murders of teenagers are pretexts for the police state.
