Breitbart Commenters Respond to Missouri Riots With Deluge of Outright Racism

Sickening, as usual
Wingnuts • Views: 33,703

Breitbart “News” put their black Tea Party writer Sonnie Johnson on the Michael Brown story, and the headline almost seems reasonable: Riots in Missouri Turn Legitimate Outrage Over Teen’s Shooting Into 3-Ring Circus.

But then, Johnson opens with this incredibly inflammatory statement, which, if a white person had written would be blatantly racist — but instead just comes off as pathetic pandering to a white audience she knows very well is full of racists:

Black America’s favorite past time is back on full display in Ferguson, MO, as looting and rioting breaks out after the fatal shooting death of an unarmed 18-year old by Ferguson law enforcement.

And the Breitbart “News” audience responds, as usual, with an unbelievably sickening deluge of outright racism. Here’s a sampling of this vile outpouring; I’ve hidden it by default because it’s as gross and disgusting as you could possibly imagine, but this is currently the highest rated comment:

The pack animals sure do love to loot, just like Obama loves to loot our tax dollars.

They are pack animals..

[…]

And normally, rabid animals are put down for the safety of all.

[…]

A pack animal has a legitimate use -

[…]

I agree since these people are animals and only react if it’s a white person who does the deed.

[…]

Any chance to riot, loot, vandalize, steal these animal blacks will do it.

[…]

F-ing animals. Where is Obama? Oh right, I forgot about the vacation. Where is Holder? Where are Jesse and Al? Why are none of them calling for calm?

[…]

These are the Obama people. Animals with no values other than take and destroy.

[…]

The pack animals sure do love to loot, just like Obama loves to loot our tax dollars.

[…]

Would shouldn’t insult ‘pack aniamls’ - or animals at all for that matter. What do you think chimps and apes have devolved from?

[…]

And people wonder why there are ghettos………

[…]

Those ‘Ghettos’ used to be good neighborhoods until guess who moved in.

[…]

Wait till the EBT cards quit working.

[…]

Typical black animal reaction; violence, looting, vandalism. And they wonder why blacks are viewed so poorly.

[…]

… it’s hog boiling time.

[…]

Blacks never miss an opportunity to riot.

[…]

genetics run amok..

[…]

choose.

[…]

I thought I was watching the next Planet of the Apes trailer. love those movies.

[…]

Obama’ flying monkeys have been turned loose on the public again!!!

[…]

Dem be dhat peeples whum da bad violend stuff be always be comin frum…

[…]

typical reaction from this race of people….

[…]

What do you expect from a bunch of savages? Time to start shooting vandals, regardless of their color, race, religion or country of origin…

[…]

It is illegal to walk in the middle of the streets…besides…what are sidewalks for?….Knee grows do this all the time called “street walkin’”…..

[…]

The GIMMEDATS are just doing what comes natural under the circumstances….

[…]

BABOONS

[…]

Love how you need a token black author to pen this piece…

None of this is unusual at all for Breitbart “News;” in fact, it’s clearly their business model to incite and encourage this kind of ugly hate speech, because it’s in every single comment thread at the site, and has been for years.

there is something fundamentally mentally unscrewed with some people who seemingly would be collaborating with people bent on their own demise. We see this pattern over and over with different people, including with Ms. Johnson. She aligns herself with a right wing movement clearly and openly working towards once again creating conditions to dehumanize and disempower entire ethnicities, races, and cultures of people. She will be tolerated just as long as she advances the agenda.

Re-post of a late but relevant entry from downstairs:

The legendary Dumbest Man on the Internet, Jim Hoft, lives up to his rep by headlining the damage in Ferguson as “mass destruction.”

TGP EXCLUSIVE: Photos & VIDEO of Ferguson, MO Mass Destruction

At least one commenter calls him out on this, pointing out that a few looted and burned businesses do not constitute “mass destruction” by any reasonable definition of the term.
Several commenters assert that the cop who shot Michael was also black, but they do not offer a source. This is actually a fair possibility, given that the town is 67% black, but no confirmation was forthcoming. When asked for a link, one commenter actually responded “Sorry, that is suppressed information. It does however happen to be true.”
WTF? As with middle school students and Texas Tech freshmen, the RWNJs seem to have a real problem with verifiable sourcing: “My uncle said…” “My ex-boyfriend said…” “I heard….” etc.
It would be an improvement if they cited Alex Jones or an Al Qaeda webpage as a source, untrustworthy though they are, since I could at least theoretically go there and see for myself.

It’s hard to come by solid statistics on just how many officer involved shootings there are in the US, let alone how many fatalities. This guy posits some figures and notes that there are real problems with data collection and that based on what he’s been able to glean, there are some jurisdictions that need to do a whole lot more training and improved hiring. After all, if the nation’s biggest police force (the NYPD, which is hardly immune from officer involved shootings or excessive force issues) has a lower rate (absolute and relative) to a smaller force like Columbus OH, then there’s something going on with these departments.

LEOs have an important and difficult job. They’ve got to handle a wide range of crises and events on a daily basis, and are often a person’s only real interaction with a member of the local government. They put themselves in harms’ way all too often - including dangerous traffic stops and night patrols (like a recent incident near the lair in NJ where a Waldwick cop was killed by a speeding tractor trailer that rammed into his vehicle as he was set up for a speed trap).

Having respect for them doesn’t exempt them from justifiable criticism when they do wrong. Excessive force. Ignoring medical issues that lead to death in custody. Shootings under questionable circumstances that lead to the death of persons who are unarmed. Racial profiling. Etc.

Some of those can be addressed by improved training and tactics. But other issues need to be addressed from the top down - from the local community leaders and police departments to engage in better community policing and to do more to engage with the community rather than maintain a antagonistic stance that only reinforces community views that the police are out to get them, and that something as simple as walking in the street could lead to a fatal outcome.

Estonia’s authorities report that the violence started around 21:20 (EEST, UTC+3), as the protesters started to assault the policemen.[75][82] Riot police responded by using water cannon and, according to BBC, firing tear gas to disperse the crowd.[83] However, the crowd did not disperse and started committing acts of vandalism and rampant looting[84][85] of nearby shops and buildings. By midnight the riots had spread around the centre of Tallinn, with massive damage to property—a total number of 99 cases of vandalism, including cars that had been turned upside down, broken and looted shop windows, pillaged bars and kiosks.[86][87]

“People are angry, people are hurt, people are fed up. You have to direct it somewhere — and you can’t direct it at the people who made you angry because they’ll shoot you and kill you,” Laney said. “So they express it outward… I wouldn’t go out and smash things, I wouldn’t go out and burn things. But I understand why people do it.”
29 jaunte  Aug 11, 2014 12:21:20pm

…Early in Reconstruction, white and black working people sometimes made common cause against their common enemies in the aristocracy. But once it became clear that the upper classes were going to keep their ill-gotten holdings, freedmen and working-class whites were left to wrestle over the remaining slivers of the pie. Before long, whites who owned little land and had never owned slaves had become the shock troops of the planters’ bid to restore white supremacy.

Along the way, the planters created rhetoric you still hear today: The blacks were lazy and would rather wait for gifts from the government than work (in conditions very similar to slavery). In this way, the idle planters were able to paint the freedmen as parasites who wanted to live off the hard work of others.

The larger pattern. But the enduring Confederate influence on American politics goes far beyond a few rhetorical tropes. The essence of the Confederate worldview is that the democratic process cannot legitimately change the established social order, and so all forms of legal and illegal resistance are justified when it tries.

That worldview is alive and well. During last fall’s government shutdown and threatened debt-ceiling crisis, historian Garry Wills wrote about our present-day Tea Partiers: “The presiding spirit of this neo-secessionism is a resistance to majority rule.”

It’s a real possibility though probably not in Ferguson. The cops seem to have the place sealed up tight. This is probably to prevent spillover into white neighborhoods but it would work the other way as well. Ironically, there are plenty of armed-to-the-teeth suburban ammosexuals who have wet dreams about a mob of loot crazed “others” pouring onto their quiet streets in the middle of the night.

The claim that a black officer shot Michael Brown is going viral on the RWNJ blog circuit. I have yet to see a usable source or link for this alleged information.

46 Aunty Entity Dragon  Aug 11, 2014 12:36:48pm

At Huffpo

Dorian Johnson told WALB-TV that he and Brown were walking home from a convenience store when a police officer told them to get out of the street and onto the sidewalk. Johnson said they kept walking, which caused the officer to confront them from his car and again after getting out of his car.

Johnson said the officer fired, and he and Brown were scared and ran away.

“He shot again, and once my friend felt that shot, he turned around and put his hands in the air, and he started to get down,” Johnson said. “But the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and fired several more shots.”

In the LA Times, Johnson is also quoted as saying the officer grabbed Brown by the neck from inside the car, which is why Brown ran away.

54 lawhawk  Aug 11, 2014 12:40:18pm

re: #45 Shiplord Kirel

There’s no information about the officer involved in the shooting because the Ferguson PD hasn’t made that information public. Any information they’ve divulged about the shooting, and the events leading up to it, had to have come in part from this officer.

As for the demographic makeup of the Ferguson PD, all I’ve seen is that there were a few reports noting that the police department is predominantly white, as compared to a majority of the town being black. The mayor is white as well.

55 Charles Johnson  Aug 11, 2014 12:40:50pm

How many stores were actually looted in Ferguson? As far as I can tell from reports, it seems like four or five stores total. How is that “mass destruction?”

Any kind of looting and rioting is disturbing, of course, but it seems like this is being vastly exaggerated.

56 Shiplord Kirel  Aug 11, 2014 12:42:47pm

I remember a video report from a news crew that accompanied a group of GIs in the first wave of the Cambodian incursion in 1970. One of their first “finds,” less than a kilometer inside the border, was not a command and control center or a weapons cache, but a privately owned liquor store. The place was fantastically well stocked, owing to Cambodia’s lax import policies. The GIs proceeded to loot the place and get drunk in full view of the cameras. The reporter gave some sign of being drunk himself when he delivered his on camera summary.
My CO took a very jaundiced view of this and commented that discipline and morale had apparently reached an all time low.

re: #55 Charles Johnson

LAT is reporting 12 stores were looted or vandalized, and one was torched.

Thing is that to Brown’s own family, watching their town burn is salt in the wounds. It doesn’t bring their son back. But the questions are only going to grow:

The images from the day before were tinder for this fire: A young black man with his hands in the air. The graphic photo, widely circulated, of Brown slain, lying on the street. His stepfather holding a sign saying the police executed his son. Social media ablaze with photos and videos and outrage.

Brown’s own family members have said the destruction in their hometown is salt in their wounds. When peaceful protests turn to a city’s self immolation, there is no justice for anyone. What’s left is a community used to being unheard, roiling in the wake of a deadly police shooting. A powder keg of unemployment and poverty, of neglect and frustration, and those willing to exploit a tragedy for personal gain.

And this sort of reaction is all too familiar: Donna Rose, wrote in a Facebook comment on STLtoday’s public Facebook page, “I think the SWAT teams needs to open fire and kill all that r involved in the looting.” Her profile identifies her as originally from Florissant, also in North County, now in California.

When an 18-year-old, unarmed black teenager is fatally shot, there are questions any mother, any citizen will have:

Why did Brown’s uncovered, slain body lie on the ground for four hours?

Why did an officer, as yet unidentified, repeatedly fire gun shots when Brown was known to be unarmed and running away?

What happened in that police car? Why was Brown there in the first place?

All this transpired in broad daylight, with video footage, now in the hands of the authorities investigating. These answers will take time to uncover.

Interesting twist. Apparently the first round of digging into Michael Brown’s background and eye witness accounts didn’t generate anything usable, so they had to scramble.

The thing is, even if the officer was African-American, it doesn’t mean that race still wasn’t a factor. And it certainly doesn’t say anything about what appears to be an absolutely egregious display of police brutality.

Thing is that to Brown’s own family, watching their town burn is salt in the wounds. It doesn’t bring their son back. But the questions are only going to grow:

From a defense attorney at Popehat:

What neither side seems to realize is that the system is not reformable. There are multiple classes of people, but it boils down to the connected, and the not connected. Just as in pre-Revolutionary France, there is a very strict class hierarchy, and the very idea that we are equal before the law is a laughable nonsequitr.

Jamal the $5 weed slinger, Shaneekwa the hair braider, and Loudmouth Bob in the 7-11 parking lot are at the bottom of the hierarchy. They can, literally, be killed with impunity … as long as the dash cam isn’t running. And, hell, half the time they can be killed even if the dash cam is running. This isn’t hyperbole, mother-fucker. This is literal. Question me and I’ll throw 400 cites and 20 youtube clips at you.

Next up from Shaneekwa and Loudmouth Bob are us regular peons. We can have our balls squeezed at the airport, our rectums explored at the roadside, our cars searched because the cops got permission from a dog (I owe some Reason intern a drink for that one), our telephones tapped (because terrorism!), our bank accounts investigated (because FinCEN! and no expectation of privacy!). We don’t own the house we live in, not if someone of a higher social class wants it. We don’t own our own financial lives, because the education accreditation / student loan industry / legal triumvirate have declared that we can never escape - even through bankruptcy - our $200,000 debt that a bunch of adults convinced a can’t-tell-his-ass-from-a-hole-in-the-ground 18 year old that (a) he was smart enough to make his own decisions, and (b) college is a time to explore your interests and broaden yourself). And if there’s a “national security emergency” (defined as two idiots with a pressure cooker), then the constitution is suspended, martial law is declared, and people are hauled out of their homes.

The system is not fixable because it is not broken. It is working, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to give the insiders their royal prerogatives, and to shove the regulations, the laws, and the debt up the asses of everyone else.

Burn it to the ground.

Burn it to the ground.

Burn it to the ground.

Merry Christmas.

A lot there I do not agree with (his attacks on public teachers for one thing), but his observations on the impunity of the police as well as impunity of the upper classes is dead on the money.

65 lawhawk  Aug 11, 2014 12:58:04pm

I can’t seem to recall another NYC metro area officer involved shooting that didn’t identify the NYPD officer involved within short order. Heck, high profile incidents like Amadou Diallo had the officers identified within a day (the shooting occurred February 4, and the NYT has the names the next day).

The Ferguson PD probably hasn’t ever had to deal with something like this, so they aren’t quite sure what to do, but an inability to produce basic information about the police officer involved in the shooting begins to look like stonewalling.

Somebody with better skills than I could probably check to see if they can find 3 black Ferguson cops in the pics from the past few days—obviously, if all three were on the street, it couldn’t have been one of them.

It’s going to be real tough to try and identify the Ferguson PD officers in the crowd of officers now in Ferguson. They’ve called in mutual assistance from other local police departments, which is why you see such a mix of police uniforms along the staging lines. There’s state police, county police, and local police, plus Ferguson PD.

re: #65 lawhawk

I can’t seem to recall another NYC metro area officer involved shooting that didn’t identify the NYPD officer involved within short order. Heck, high profile incidents like Amadou Diallo had the officers identified within a day (the shooting occurred February 4, and the NYT has the names the next day).

The Ferguson PD probably hasn’t ever had to deal with something like this, so they aren’t quite sure what to do, but an inability to produce basic information about the police officer involved in the shooting begins to look like stonewalling.

In California, officers are never identified, and disciplinary actions, if any, are never revealed. If you complain about officer conduct, you will not be told if there is an investigation, nor will you be told about anything that came of it.

Airports scrupulously apply the same laughably ineffective airport harassment to Suzy Chapstick as to Muslim hijackers. It is preposterous to assume every passenger is a potential crazed homicidal maniac. We know who the homicidal maniacs are. They are the ones cheering and dancing right now. We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.

Apologies for the OT, but you should know that AMERICA IZ DOOMED unless you tune in to Glenn Beck’s show tonight:

Glenn Beck Is Not A Prophet, But He Plays One On TV

Convinced, as he always is, that all of his dire predictions are coming true, Glenn Beck begged his radio audience today to tune in to tonight’s television broadcast because he has an extremely important and final warning to deliver; one that, if it is not heeded, will spell the end of America.

It goes to a larger point that there’s no clear statistics on officer involved shootings, let alone excessive force complaints against police. These should be required by the FBI, along with all the other statistics about policing across the country. Instead, all this information is hidden from view, and police continue to operate behind the blue curtain.

What you do see is that excessive force compaints are dismissed at around 95-98% of the time across the country…but that use of force declines by as much as 60% when cops are forced to wear body cams.

That means there are an awful lot of police brutality incidents being reported but dismissed out of hand.

Ronan Farrow Gets Racism Because His Mom Had ‘Black Mother-itis’

MSNBC’s Ronan Farrow said he understands racism because he has an adopted black brother and his white mother had “black mother-itis.”

Farrow made the comments on his Monday show in response to The Washington Post’s Jonathan Capehart, who argued that black men have to take extra steps to stay safe in public, during a segment about an unarmed black teenager who was shot by police in suburban St. Louis over the weekend.

Er, no. Sorry Ronan. You’re still a white boy. You don’t understand shit just because your mother adopted a black child.

88 lawhawk  Aug 11, 2014 1:13:49pm

re: #76 ausador

This is yet another instance that cries out for national requirement for dash cams at a minimum, plus body cameras for law enforcement officers. At a minimum, we need to get more statistics to understand the nature of excessive force incidents and officer involved shootings.

I’m sure that some police will see this as intrusive and will only put them under greater scrutiny (well, yes, it does) and it may lead some to hesitate to act when their life is on the line out of an abundance of caution, but it can also exonerate cops who do the right thing but things still go south. The footage can also be used to help train other law enforcement officers what to do (or not do) in future instances, to keep them, and the public safer.

It can give you the officer’s view on events as they transpire, and help people determine whether a suspect’s actions are as the officer claims.

OT Drive-by - Since Iraq is back in the news lately I thought some of you might find this of interest. It’s a BBC documentary that covers the Iraq War in three parts: 1.) Regime Change covers post 9/11-the U.S. invasion, 2.) After the Fall covers 2003-2004, and 3.) It’s Hell, Mr President covers 2005-2012. It’s obviously not a fun thing to watch, but it’s very convenient to have everything put together so maybe we can understand it better in hindsight.

The big players from Washington, London and Baghdad tell the inside story of the war in Iraq, revealing how they wrestled with the big decisions - and with each other. Brook Lapping Productions.

Youtube Video

Regime Change:
The people at the top of the CIA and Saddam’s foreign minister describe just how the US and Britain got it so wrong about Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction before the invasion. Tony Blair recounts how he flew to President Bush’s private retreat at Camp David to go head to head with Vice President Dick Cheney. Colin Powell explains how he came to make his disastrous presentation to the United Nations. Foreign Secretary Jack Straw describes how he - and even President Bush himself - tried to persuade Tony Blair that to join in the invasion was political suicide.

Youtube Video

After the Fall:
Key insiders describe the chaotic aftermath of the defeat of Saddam Hussein. Dick Cheney and Colin Powell come to blows over America’s role as occupying power. General David Petraeus recalls the disastrous decision to disband the Iraqi army. The representative of Grand Ayatollah Sistani - Iraq’s most senior Shia cleric - tells how Sistani forced the Americans into agreeing to elections in Iraq. One of the greatest challenges came from Muqtada al-Sadr and his Mahdi army. America and the new Iraqi government were able to defeat Sadr militarily, but it set the stage for sectarian war.

Youtube Video

It’s Hell, Mr President:
Tony Blair and Dick Cheney describe how they responded as horrific sectarian violence overtook Iraq. Foreign Secretary Jack Straw tells how he and Condoleeza Rice compelled Iraq’s prime minister to resign. Other key insiders reveal how they selected and supported his replacement. With an exclusive interview with controversial Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki, the programme tells how the war ended and why Iraq today faces the worst sectarian violence in five years.

If you need brain bleach after watching all that, try one of these. ;-)
