I heard on this morning's news that the driver of the stolen car was told to get out with his hands up as he was blocked in by other vehicles. Instead he started to drive the car. I guess the police officer should have waited to see if he was going to drive the car into him?

I just recently learned on the evening news their skin color, but I knew the way it was handled what the problem was. Thank Goodness for a police chief who has community leaders behind him. And yes, they are all black. All of those calm, good people are behind the black police chief who has acted sensibly and sanely. I have seen him on TV a lot and I have great respect for him. His job is very hard.

AND lest we forget, it too often goes the other way. See here;...
