This is a tragedy that was bound to happen, I am afraid, and I foresee it happening again. People have been on the news, talk shows, sporting events and any other media that will allow them to show support for all the rioters and destructive behavior. The people who are our leaders have not once supported the officers in the 2 recent events, but have openly critized them and supported those who critize them. My husband told me something that Oprah Winprey said the other day (really surprised me). But she said that in all the protests during the 60's with the Rev Dr MLK, Jr, the people protesting were all dressed in suits, and were peaceful and non destructive. They weren't like the crowds now. And that is true. Our police and military just are not getting the support and respect they deserve, not only from a large part of the public, but from most of out politicians. Our top politician actually showed approval for a sports person who wore a tee shirt on TV that said "I can't breathe", but when a police officer had a tee shirt that said "obey the law, breathe easy", they were criticized, and told not to wear it. Bless our aw enforcement officers. Fair????
