Well Said!!!
Personally I'm tired of the double standard. African Americans shoot and kill each other on a daliy basis here in Jacksonville and no one ever sees anything? But let a white person shoot or kill an African American and it's racism?!? Go figure!

Absurd.
It seems those who get shot and/or killed by police almost exclusively put themselves in the unwise position of making the cop choose an alternative method of a forcible take-down. Either by resisting arrest or pointing a weapon at a policeman, etc.
It's an unfortunate ordeal when anyone dies when confronted by the law, whether justifiable or not. And the methods used can always be discussed/debated. But it never gives anyone the right to act badly and act a fool. Those that think that are true idiots. I think even a little civil disobedience could be tolerated if it didn't harm others or cause damage to property to bring attention to grievances. But if people feel wronged and expect change out of the violence they choose to do, they're doing it wrong and usually things get worse instead of better. They simply choose to lose.
