So, you're saying that all cops, knowing that there's a good possibility that there will be witnesses and/or filming-social media issues (including their own car and body cams) just arbitrarily shoot suspects (black or white) for NO REASON ?? J

That's not at all what I am saying, and honestly I know I can't get my point across via a message board and neither can you. However, I know all cops aren't bad, all black people aren't bad, neither are all Muslims. I don't believe the cops are shooting these men solely because they are black, I believe their is a lack of knowledge and understanding of black culture causing SOME police to have a short leash with black people. In my heart I don't think most of these police involved in these shootings saw this as an opportunity to shoot a black person. But I know the fear is there because I have experienced it personally several times. I won't address you other points because I'm not familiar with those events and the aftermath. Also I don't believe in "black leaders" who are they? They don't speak for all of us. Again I can't change your opinion on a message board but if you really interested send me a pm. I'll be happy to talk to you.

Nice Dallashog.

Very well said and I agree. This is a very sticky subject and it's very hard to know the right thing to say.

In fact reading again it is better than well said, it was truly eloquent. This is the kind of national dialogue EVERYONE should be passing on (especially the media) to each other.
