I see what you're saying. There's really no option other than expressing the message one of those ways. If only they could say something like, "Here's the case of John Doe. Here's why he should never have been shot. Can you believe the police officer who killed him received no punishment and is back on the streets? I demand that we open an honest dialogue in order to prevent this and the other X number of unjustified police killings of African-Americans that have occurred in the last 12 months alone."

He's doing exactly that

Let's try not to bicker all the time. Kaep is the title of the thread and I thought it was relevant, not to the topic that's been reigning over here, but to him nonetheless.

I was paid zero for trying to figure out what the hell you're saying

Well then, good on him. I hope he's able to advance the discussion. So far everything I've seen on this story focuses on the outrage on both sides over the protest itself. None of it addresses the issues he's protesting (neither his problems with Clinton nor his problems with the police).

"Stop stepping on my toes!"
"Please shut up unless you know where I should step instead of your toes."
"Anywhere but my toes!"
"This isn't helpful."
"It hurts. All I want you to do is stop hurting me!"
"Unless you have a better plan I'd appreciate if you would stop complaining."
"My plan is for you to stop stepping on my toes."
"Well that's nonsense!. And quite frankly I'm growing tired of all the whining."
"I don't like it."
"Well it isn't bothering me, so it seems like you're the one with the problem."
"It hurts."
"Ugh, I was tired of the whinging before, now it's just getting out of hand."
"But all you have to do is stop stepping on my toes."
"I've been stepping on your toes for a while now and it wasn't a problem. Now all the sudden you want to cry about it? What is it you really want?"
"I honestly just want you to stop stepping on my toes."
"Again with the complaining when you offer no solutions?"
"Do you have to step on my toes?"
"That's the way things have been and I don't see any reason to change. If you have some idea of who's toes I ought to be stepping on instead I'm all ears."
"You don't have to step on anyone's toes."
"Why do you hate our traditions? What do you have against all the men and women who stepped on toes before us?"
"Nothing, I just want there to be no more stepping on toes."
"Well you should probably go back to whatever third-world place you're from where they don't step on toes."
"I'm from here. It just hurts and I want it to stop. I love this place. I want this place to be better. I'll try to come up with some ideas of better things to step on but with my toes in so much pain it's hard to think."
"Now you're just making excuses! I knew you were lazy."
"I'm not lazy but I can't really move while you're stepping on my toes."
"I stepped on toes without anyone else's help. If I can make myself into a toe-stepper through hard word and dedication I really don't want to hear your excuses as to why you cannot step on toes."
"Was someone stepping on your toes when you started?"
"Of course not! You take me for the kind of person that lets someone step on my toes. I simply wouldn't have it."
"I don't want to step on anyone's toes, I just want for noone to step on MY toes."
"What kind of fantasy world do you live in? You think everyone is just going to stop stepping on other people's toes?"
"Right now the only one I care about is you because you're stepping on my toes. If you don't stop on your own I'm going to make you stop."
BLAM!
"You guys saw that, right? He threatened me and in fear for my life I shot him."

What for those of us who don't see much of any race-related police brutality and this all a bunch of hyped up nonsense?

I personally don't see any solution until both sides can discuss this in very racist terms in a way to try understanding each other. White people are racist. White people see black people as aggressive and violent. Statistics and personal experiences back that notion up for many. Black people feel oppressed. Black people have been oppressed. Black people feel they've been left behind. White people respond to that by asking why every other minority has been able to overcome oppression, and why they have to pay for their entitlements. Black people respond that they are in a unique position and always have been. They were forced to come here, for starters. They also don't like welfare and would rather have jobs, but don't see a way to get a good job, especially being disadvantaged.

These are very basic concepts but they need to be discussed in racial terms so that both sides understand the other. Pretending their aren't race issues from the white side isn't helping the situation.
