I think back about two months when police were attacked on the street by a man with an axe, whose facebook page was loaded with racist remarks aimed at the white police.

Disturbing, this will not get much attention...certainly not like the others....the axe thing was a one or two day story.

I suppose if you have nothing to gain by supporting the police and you do have something to gain by supporting.......I am very callous at this point. This is like a sick movie.

I am rambling I know, but this is getting very old...it is the same old story for years......
We seemed to be doing better some time ago.
I have said this before, on our way home in the car to Ohio at Thanksgiving, I felt coldness from the folks I smiled at who were black. That has not happened to me before. This is affecting all of us in a bad way.
