First off; while I certainly respect any usage of the first amendment, I still have to ask the question. WHY? Officer Wacko (wilson) hasn't even been charged yet! Support him for what?

Second; Nikon? Uh, I'm pretty sure the governor is a person (Nixon), not a camera company from Japan.

Third; what did the counter-protesters expect to happen? The protesters to change their mind about the guy? Do the counter-protesters even KNOW the officer?

Well, she didn't die or get gassed...chalk it up as a win for both sides I guess.

1. Some on Twitter think they went to agitate the crowd, hoping for violence.

I don't know what good reason there is to go there (doesn't matter their race) and protest FOR the Officer the community believes murdered one of their own.

8. "Reverse racisim" is a term that racists resort to to justify their racism.

There is no such thing as "reverse racism". It's code language and a dog whistle.

10. Or, you could take it as it was meant

You're the one who brought racism into the discussion. One of their own = member of the community. Wilson and I suspect those protesters were not from Ferguson.

People seem to forget we live in community's and if we interact within said community, that community, hopefully becomes like family. I look out for the older members in my community and consider them my "own" no matter their race and I live in a multi-cultural community.

So, check YOUR racism, thank you very much.

11. I Agree With Those On Twitter

It seems that both the people in the article went to the protests with those signs in the hopes that they would be assaulted and would then be able to go on TV and say the protesters were violent. The two white people do not seem to be following the story that closely. Gov. Nixon's name was spelled wrong on woman's sign.

2. Trolls gonna troll.

[MohRokTah]

7. Yep.

They were real life trolls.

3. Racists be racists

[Vattel]

4. They sould really find a token black supporter so that they

could claim that 33% of Wilson's supporters are black.

5. Sounds like some of those outside agitators I heard about

trying to provoke violence.
