Timing is everything.
I read in your postings that this Black Lives Matters event had taken place only a few days after an NYPD Officer was shot in the head while attempting to arrest a fleeing felon. Also, within the past year, two NYPD Officers were executed subsequent to the growing negative propaganda spewed by ill informed Black Lives Matters protesters.
In another of your postings, the author speaks of the protests in Fugerson Mo. Michael Brown was a thug criminal who just prior to choosing to Batter a Police Officer, in fact committed a Felonious Strong Armed Robbery, yet the community protesters do not consider this.
I spent 37 years of my life as a Police Officer in Baltimore Md, NYPD, Cape Coral Fl. and Rikers Island.
I can tell you that I have watched race relations advance positively through the 70s-2000s, but since the actions of Eric Holder and his boss, much of these gains have been greatly reduced.
Yes, Police Officers on occasion do commit crimes and even murder. But these events although extremely negative for the community, and the Police are very very very rare.
So in the log run, if you cannot understand why the Cops, neighbors and others choose to protest Tarentino, oh well.
By the way, the suggestion that these men and women would better use their time volunteering in less fortunate neighborhoods............
Most of them have spent YEARS OF BLOOD SWEET AND TEARS doing the best they could working in a majority of these neighborhoods, many being shot, cut, beaten, and or severely disabled both physically and at times mentally resulting in PTSD. Its now their time to enjoy whatever's left.

Thank you for your post....And your service.
