Every profession has bad apples. Even law officers will admit that there are some bad apples. And when those bad apples take a life, it's cause for notice. I'm not in favor of burning down your town in protest, but I think there may be some reason to justify a reaction.

I will agree that there are bad cops.
I do not agree that everyone is not condemning them, as the cable networks, etc have continually been pounding them.
Have not seen this on the air,..
"NILES, Michigan — Police officers struggling to get through a chaotic scene in Michigan aboard an Amtrak train from Chicago were credited Saturday with preventing even more bloodshed after a man stabbed a conductor and three passengers.
“It was pretty incredible that they may have saved some lives,” passenger Tyler Vandermolen said."

But I did see this....
"A tattooed gang of militants declared open season on the NYPD in the wake of the Eric Garner grand jury decision, according to a threat a police union verified Saturday.
Ten Black Guerrilla Family members are “preparing to shoot on duty police officers,” Sergeants Benevolent Association President Ed Mullins said.
The gang, formed in the 1960s in the California prison system, recently surfaced on the East Coast and Maryland, where members are at the heart of a drug-trafficking and corruption probe within the Baltimore prison system.

What is happening now is NOT simply pointing out defective cites that need to be addressed.
It is a national thrashing of those charged with maintaining law and order.
I have met some bad cops, "bad" in my idea....Have not seen many citizens harmed unless acting criminally or in a situation that is suspiciously looking criminal, nor have seen many citizens harmed that do not have a "track record".
These allegations and thus far only verbal assaults have an agenda, and clearing out bad cops is NOT the agenda.
I also join BLT in asking for the credible proof of the assault on blacks so often shouted loudly with only words as evidence.
