More reasons why Time magazine is a joke

I don't know who this idiot is but I take it he's a member of the race baiting industry. Now he stuck his stupid nose into the Zimmerman trial.

Preparing for Riots After Zimmerman Verdict Is Racial Fear Mongering

The assumption that there will be violence if Zimmerman is acquitted runs counter to recent history


By Marc W. Polite

As the trial of George Zimmerman winds down, the Orlando police are reportedly bracing for possible riots in the event that the defendant walks. The Broward County Sheriff’s Office release two public service announcements urging people to “raise their voice, not their hands” if they are unhappy with the verdict. Meanwhile, church leaders, who have been given seats at the trial, have pledged to use their influence in the community to quell any violence...

...The last major racial riot occurred in Los Angeles after four police officers were acquitted in the brutal beating of Rodney King. That was 21 years ago. Since then, there have been several other racially-charged cases that might have provoked an outpouring of protest but did not. The police officers who murdered Sean Bell in a hail of 50 bullets were acquitted in 2008, and no riots ensued. The indictment of the officer that shot and killed Bronx teenager Ramarley Graham was tossed out earlier this year, even with footage of the police following him into his Bronx home. His mother didn’t call for riots. She made t-shirts to protest.

In some ways, the calls for order recapitulate what this case is all about—the assumption of violence on the part of the black community, and of black men. No one seems to be concerned about the possible violence of Zimmerman supporters if Zimmerman is convicted. To try to preemptively deter the black community from taking matters into their own hands should they feel justice has not been done...

Mr Polite knows one of the criticisms of the LAPD and the City was how they did not handle the reaction to the King jury verdict So since then every city with a similar issue gets it's cops ready for unrest prior at the end of the trial. But Mr Polite won't let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Oh Mr Polite, those cops in New York did not murder Seal Bell. They killed him. There is a difference. But like most liberals, you want your own set of facts, not just opinions.

Thankfully this rag Time is on it's deathbed and will soon be on the internet.
