It seems we are continuing to move in the direction of what group can speak the loudest, or get the most media attention with two very concerning aspects.
Complete disregard for whether the allegations are true or not....it just does not seem to matter anymore.
Secondly how can, like it or not, an isolated incident be blown into an across the board condition nation wide?
I personally object to the notion the law enforcement community in general is not to be trusted to do what is right. I also firmly reject that rioting and camera hogging become the new face of the wants and needs of Americans.
My position has nothing to do with who was right or wrong......I like millions upon millions DO NOT HAVE enough credible information (non media or special interest or alarmists like Sharpton/Jackson) to take a stand.
My position is all about the way some few are trying to change, with some success, what we beleive about law enforcement in America!!!!!

Regarding “unfair and misguided attempt” you mentioned at the opening of this thread … here’s my two cents:
A certain segment of the ideological spectrum seeks to have people believe that white cops are somehow out there actively hunting young black males to shoot or, in effect, assassinate. This is idiotic on its face, and obviously untrue based on the numbers alone … ie total population of blacks, total number of police and total numbers shot etc. Yet the media seems to be like a cat with catnip …they can’t let go nor can other who fall for this rot.
A lot of the *organized* effort behind the scenes is driven by the usual radicals who’ve been doing this since the 1960s and whose aim is to, if they get lucky, tear down the evil yadda, yadda capitalist system. The moronic level of thought is what gets me … it’s so depressing that there are apparently that many people in our country and culture for whom truly, the facts don’t matter. It’s as if the truth in Ferguson is irrelevant. (note: Garner incident in NYC a different story).
Ok so what would make the critics happy? Hmmm, how about if the cops until further notice no longer provide police protection in high crime black neighborhoods because it’s becoming too much of a civil and social liability? Personally, if I was a cop, I would either find a new line or work or simply look the other way and not get involved unless absolutely unavoidable. Who loses in that case? The black underclass, as usual. I think that’s the point Rags was making in an earlier post.
