But then again, no one ever beat my son and broke his spine for undisclosed reasons.
Police never killed my son.
I believe most police are good people doing a dangerous, thankless job...
Most...
I've run this racial thing thru my little thinker more times than I care to count, and never come out with an acceptable and civilized outcome.
Riots and all the subsequent responses will not fix this.
Sadly, the only option with both possibility and plausability will never be attempted because it will cost too much...
The only people who can fix this are the police...
The good men and women, in that long blue line must purge the bad ones out of their ranks, at all costs.
They must sacrifice their guilty and root out all those that have crossed these lines...
Open, transparent justice is the only answer...
I know most are good officers, but I also know that all to often, departmental loyalty outweighs bringing those bad apples into the light, into the cages they have earned...
My mother screams at me when I refuse to blame Hitler for all the atrocities committed in world war 2...
I tell her he was just a sick and demented racist, and that in most time periods he would have been put safely away in some institution...
But between the few average citizens who wanted to exploit their pedigree by agreeing to his politics and the multitude of others that just wanted to ignore the mounting facts, with heads in the sand, they all became the true fathers of all the atrocities committed in the fuehrers name...
Good men and women refusing to make a stand....
They own the evil perpetrated because they alone could have stopped it...
Those officers on the streets know who the bad ones are and can stop them.
Until that is done, no peace will be made; no end to the violence.
I am a dreamer.
Reality undeniably erases any possible implementation.
As I said, sadly, this would be our only hope...
The police actively policing themselves...
In business, for every actual complaint, equeals, on average, fifty unreported ones. I'm betting that for every video that makes the news screen, a hundred don't.
Revolution is coming.
It is inevitable.
Gangs are hunting police.
That just might get their attention...
This crap has to stop. None of these violent protesters deserve a free pass, but from a dads standpoint, if it were my son, I cannot say I would react any differently...
When you take all that matters in someone's life, sometimes all they have left is defiance.
Both sides need to start acting right...
But first, police need to stop each other from murdering innocent people, while continuing to protect the innocent...
Most have been willing to give them the benefit of the doubt for a very long time...
Not anymore...
That trust has been completely trashed in HD 1080P...
So do the right thing and earn it back.
I want to believe in the police again, as the good guys, the protectors...
Ignoring or militarily overpowering won't accomplish that.
Decimating Baltimore won't either...
Once again, it comes down to good people doing the right thing.
Miracles happen everyday...
Today could be that day...
Or not...
