I grew up on Long Island, New York; which was the same way. Real Estate even controlled allowing such elements to buy homes. The NYPD would never put up with what Ferguson police allowed to happen. That Mayor is also an idiot. It sickens me how a US President feels sorry for the Brown family who apparently never taught their son to respect laws. I often feel those like Al Sharpton really hate being black; are jealous of the White Race. Sharpton hates his own face in the mirror.
