I do understand the need for demonstrations and marches. I do not understand the need for rioting, the need to destroy, the desire to hurt. I agree with so little that Sharpton says. He is someone I would like to see with duct tape permanently slapped across his mouth.

I sincerely hope and pray that some honest dialogue comes out of all of this pain. Young men should not be harassed because of their skin color. Police officers deserve to be shown respect for their willingness to sacrifice themselves for civilians.
If I were a moderator (which I'm not), I would say that this post says everything that needs to be said perfectly, and close the thread!

You are one smart cookie, Dee.
