It's all in the picture if you look close enough.
I have no opinion. I only comment on the picture.

All in the picture? Is this Fallujah or San Francisco? I can't imagine what's going on here.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana (CNN)A homeless man made the 911 call that brought police to the convenience store where Alton Sterling was shot dead, a source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN on Thursday.

Sterling was selling CDs early Tuesday outside the Triple S Food Mart in Baton Rouge, the source said, when the homeless man approached him and asked for money.
The man was persistent, and Sterling showed him his gun, the source said.
"I told you to leave me alone," Sterling told the man, according to the source.
The homeless man then used his cell phone to call 911.

 

This is it.




Actually, there is quite a good similarity to the armored cops.

A rifle, a line of riot police, 2 of them-one with cuffs and a lone defiant young woman.
Maybe it's just me.

Nice picture, misguided gesture.

Yes, perhaps. But it is the thing unrest is made of.
Think Arab Spring.
- a perceived dictatorship
- corruption
- high unemployment
- brutality
- high prices
Now put yourself in urban America or the South.
Our country and the world is changing and we haven't figured out what to do with it.
Maybe not this year or next, but we are close to a tipping point.

I don't have to, I've lived as a black man in urban America and the South. Our country is doing just fine. This 'race' war fantasy some people have is sick.

If I was the cop and single, I'd say listen when this is all over can we get a cup of coffee somewhere away from here?

That's pure shit.

Right. And coal mining is coming back to Virginia.
What's your plan for those guys?
