People don’t get punished so that’s why they don’t listen to respect the police. They have lost all respect. And I blame the parents because I am 56 and was brought up with morals and respect. Kids have no morals these days, including all these protesting. Parents today give their kids whatever they want so the kids like the parents and with all this crap going on, kids are being encouraged to be their own person and going the wrong way. Protesting should not be allowed period!! It’s does no good and only causes more problems. And if you commit a crime so the time, but noooo parents say my child wouldn’t do that!

In 99% of the killing of a citizen by a police officer it is found to be justified. You can find that in the FBI data base. You can also find that in 2016 15% of whites who were murdered were murdered by a black person. 89% of blacks who were murdered were murdered by a black person. Maybe that should be addressed. And almost 100 police officers die each year in the line of duty. You go to a domestic violence call. You try to tackle gang violence. You try to stem the flow of drugs. Cops have a very difficult job where each day may be their last as they try to protect the law abiding.

Research each of the cases you listed above and see how few if any were not justified by the police officer feeling threatened for their life.

Address the real problem for blacks which is that over 70% of blacks are born to single mothers and have no male role model.

Floyd was murdered. The cop's going to jail. Address the real issues.

The same for the Polish, immigrants and etc etc. I guess they are/were not as important as the one black person killed by a criminal policeman. What is wrong with this picture? Kind of points out how screwed up our value system is and cowardness in allowing thugs to violate all of our rules of law. Rest assured they will be back again as soon as they identify another weakness somewhere and our cowardness to protect our lives and property. 2 policemen were shot in New York City last night and one in another city. Where are the do gooder's screaming about this? They become deaf and blind when it comes to supporting the rules of law:ohdear:
