I like people for what they do, not the color of their skin or the uniform they wear. There is a HUGE issue with young men in poor areas who do not have a father's influence or an example of a family wage earner turning toward drugs, their use and entering into the business of dealing drugs.
THAT IS THE BIG PROBLEM HERE...certainly greater than police officers killing people which does happen and certainly is horrible but it is not the focus of law enforcement nor is it the mindset of the majority of law enforcement.
The media is barking up the wrong tree and the opportunity for the president to make a huge difference to these young people is rapidly slipping away. In this area, I am SO disappointed. Someone needed to holler at them like a dad would.

What I wanted from the Pres was: Get off the streets, leave this investigation to us, but what I heard was that he understood the anger. He may as well had issued an order to take the streets away from the order of law.
