I second that - my daughter and fam, incl 2 grandsons live in University City, just west of STL.
This 'situation' could have happened in Ocala or Akron or ANYWHERE else in this country.
Personally I am distraught. What?... 40+ years and we have gained NOTHING in race relations. Always seems to be a boil ready to pop. Just as this one did - hair trigger - blame game.

OK I'll say it, if the Officer was black or the 'victim' white, no news. But....nope, and the media - makes the BIG story. They go out there like vultures. A shame. If the cameras would leave - and the cops leave - it would calm.

I really have a lot to say about this but better stop - I know the Moderators are hair-trigger too. enough said.
