That is ridiculous. Things have changed tremendously since the 60s. Every time an isolated incident like this happens there is a gross overreaction which is exactly what’s happening right now. Every week in this country there are hundreds of blacks, Hispanics, and whites killed in major cities across the country. Police are killed practically every week in this country for no more crime than wearing a uniform. There are no protests or riots for them? Why this, why now? I know the answer, but I don’t think you do!
