Ugh. Reminds me of the student protests of the 60s, except there were 4 dead in Ohio.
What stories are you lot getting across the pond?

Lately I've been avoiding reading too much about these stories because there's so much propaganda on both sides.
With this one all I know is a black man got arrested and died in police custody. I saw something about a severed spine. Is this correct?
Then there were riots. A lot of looting. Someone's mum saw her kid rioting so went out and beat him around the head.

we were getting basically no stories at all (the original death was a small article in some of the press) and then that changed when the rioting kicked off.
It feels to me like the USA is heading towards something of a critical point in this whole too-vast-for-me-to-really comprehend race relations situation.

Apparently Baltimore police have been pulling this shit since forever (as have police in countless other jurisdictions). Interesting role of social networking in bringing it to light, and amplifying the impact by completely bypassing mainstream news reporting which is left spinning/preaching the usual garbage.

People who knew nothing about Ferguson riots able to work out exactly why they happened
A GROUP of people kept in isolation for the last six months has guessed exactly why there are riots in the US town of Ferguson.
According to the Institute for Studies every one of the dozen volunteers immediately said ‘an unarmed black guy was killed by a white policeman who was then let off’.

No, only a crushed windpipe.

I thought that too until I watched - the very next night after the riots - a programme about the student protests in the 60s and centred around Kent State.
