Ferguson's Failure To Announce Thorough Investigation Rooted In Bone Deep Racism

Alan: I am increasingly convinced that Christian enjoinders to "Pray for peace" (as seen in the poster above) are psychological devices whose purpose is to white-wash conscience while obviating personal and political commitments that would, in practice, foster peace.

Many crucial "particulars" concerning the deadly encounter between Michael Brown and his killer are still unknown. 

We do know that an unarmed black teenager was shot six-to-eight times by a white police officer named Darren Wilson and that the deadly shot came after Brown started to run away from the man who put five bullets in his body.

Against this backdrop, the Ferguson Police Department dragged its feet before announcing a thorough, fair investigation. 

St. Louis County Police Chief, Jon Belmar, made a bad situation worse by offering this bizarre explanation of how many times Brown had been shot. http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2014/08/watch-john-olivers-take-on-ferguson-and.html

If a black cop had killed an unarmed white teenager -- shooting him six times -- the authorities would have announced, immediately, a thorough, fair investigation, quite likely accompanied by the black officer's detention.  

Contemporary "conservatism" is built on a comprehensive System of White Entitlement whose stem-to-stern favoritism is, in the minds of most Caucasian Americans, as invisible as the air they breathe. 

On the other side of the racial divide, witness the fully visible practice of (mostly) white cops shaking down young Afro-Americans for the purported "crimes" of "walking while black" and "driving while black."
