None of you would have heard about it if it wasn't for rioting. None of you give a shit about the less fortunate or the marginalized. This is worth being angry about.

Really...how much time do you spend in soup kitchens, canneries, deploying aid, donating time and skills to track and care for homeless, and enabling a full continuum of care (;ike you'd even know what that was)...how much money do you donate...what do you lead other than your own misguided anger.

Dude seriously alot of people on here are part of churches and volunteer groups, and spend huge time and money helping the less fortunate...

This was live interview on MSNBC Lawrence O'Donnell show tonight.

I am greatly saddened and I understand how my constitutents feel right now. This is no different from day 2 and day 3, and day 4 with the tear gassing with the anger. there is so much anger. I do want to follow up on something that Joy and Rachel were missing earlier not only has this this Mike Brown movement revealed the true intentions of police departments but I have to tell you there has been systemic racism institutionalized in state government for decades including my own state party. So what we are looking at is a symptom of racism that has been swept under the rug for decades. And I am so glad now that the truth is out I'm grateful to your network telling the truth and reporting the truth.of what,s going to go down in the coming days. People are angry and hurt and are trying to figure out how they are going to receive justice. And I'll tell you now that we're in Phase 3. Phase 3 is looking at our statues that we have in law. When I listened to Bob McCollough earlier today he didn't comment that we can change the language that is in our statues right now. In fact we need to change several different sections of statutes but right now my community is hurting. They are in pain. They have been in pain before Michael Brown, Having to look at Michael Brown!s body laying for 4-1/2 hours. I have constitutents that have PTSD and tonight when you listen to what Bob McCollough said in fact I've been getting text messages non-stop while listening to your reporting. People are angered because they feel as those his words are empty and because of the systematic racism in or state government, in our state party and we do not bring the truth to bear then we will not recover from what we are experiencing right now. And I have to tell you this is St Louis's race war. We didn't have a race war like other cities,. This is our race war. And people have to open, and be honest, and be earnest and they have not been earnest for decades. In my own experience I know of people in my own party, in my own government structure that disregard things that we say and how we feel and we are not going to allow it anymore.

O'Donnellbroke to other interviewees with no comment on Nadal's declaration.


It took me about 30 minutes to type this with with constantly backing up the DVR to make sure I had it verbatim.

Watching these thugs loot and the lack of cops protecting the property and interstates is disgusting. Take the power back and bring fear by force to these criminal thugs!

Maybe if he wasn't robbing stores and attacking cops. Even if he wasn't shot he would still be in jail and miss the Holidays.

I don't agree with all the comments being made in this thread directed at posters. However, I think the mods are doing a great job. This isn't a few posters bickering over Golson and his TOs, or any other team related situation that turns into personal attacks. This is real life. Involving real issues. Involving real emotions.

I understand the looting and burning. I don't support it but I can understand where the blind rage and nihilistic response of a class of people that has been pissed on, harassed, beat down, incarcerated and murdered for generations in this country is coming from. Dismissiveness from rich, old white dudes like Guilianni sure as hell doesn't help. It's like pouring gasoline on the situation.

every time I see this kind of looting, I can't get my head around it. I get rolling cop cars, or being angry at cops...I resent the hell out of it, but on some level logic holds up.

Please tell me how you get from that to wrecking some un-involved dude's business, who may well also be black and as outraged about things?
