Anybody else, starting to sense the Ferguson Cop shooting might be excessive force ?

So if Eric Holder, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson didn't jump in the middle of this would it have been this bad? Glad to see they are helping with race relations.

A bunch of Redditors are losing their minds because they're afraid insurance won't pay out for Ferguson property owners.

They paid to bring people in. Last I saw less than 10% of the people that have been arrested were from Ferguson. This whole thing was about race inequality and how the blacks have held down. With Holder telling the police they need to show restraint and telling the protesters to stay strong it was easy to see what the goal was.

Why send the AG in for a shooting between a police officer with a clean record and a black teen with a criminal record? Show the inequality in the town. This black kid (who always had a cap and gown on in the pictures from most TV stations, not the pictures of guns and drugs that were on his Facebook) had the cop come up to him, ran away, and got shot running away with his hands up. Yeah I believe that one. Holder saw there was a few witnesses that said they saw it happen and now they were lies. The fact the case did not go to court due to the physical evidence is huge. There was 100% without a shadow of a doubt the cop did this in self defense.

This is now the second time the race baiting from the White House have failed. First Martin and now Ferguson, it might as well be the reason why Holder got the boot (doubt it but maybe). The president's remark last night showed exactly where he stood on this. America is not what it could be, aka everyone is not equal. You race bait and try to show how the blacks are being held down. Why else show this on primetime TV? TV stations last week were saying how Ferguson is the modern version of what happened in the 1960s with the race wars. Now why would all the TV stations say this unless they were told this? Why say a white person shot Martin when he was not? It is race baiting.

The law enforcement has shown great restraint if they have guys getting shot and not killing those who are trying. They know if they kill people the riots will only continue. Show that you do not want to kill and want peace, now you have something. The goal is not to kill the blacks, it is to protect the town and the people in it.

If they had more than one brain cell, they'd take the extra(s) out and play with it.

I was curious about that. Is civil unrest/riots covered? I know acts of war isn't for a lot.

That depends on your policy, the state you're in, and the company you buy insurance from. The Planet Money podcast #570 does a better job explaining how that works than the $1,000 class I took last semester.
