Ok....I began this thread and your insults aside, I may not be clear but this is specifically how I ended my OP...

"It is an election cycle. WHY are not candidates speaking to this issue ? WHY are protestors only involved in the least severe and least problematic area of shootings. WHY is not obeying the law the issue rather than the color aspect of this national disgrace. ?

I am not searching for an emotional racially charged discussion.

I AM searching for opinions on why our 'leaders" of both parties are not addressing the real problem...lack of respect for the law whether that takes the shape of a confrontation with police or not without the racial component.

It was NOT about race.......the point was and still is for me, perhaps not clearly stated, that our constant beating to death the race issue instead of the law issue being debated. We get caught up in race when in fact the issue is about respect for the law.

I don't think one poster has addressed what I was suggesting and that is fine, but I sure did not expect to be insulted by you since I began the thread.

To your point...DUH, the thread is about everyone making it race when it is more about the law and nobody addresses it in that manner.
