and many more.

I don't know about the left wing cop hating websites, however, hopefully the management of those organizations is all over these issues!

Excellent point ... this is indeed a senior leadership/management issue within these organizations and they need to take action to fix where needed.

A LYNCH MOB. Could a stupider word have been used. It was black men who got lynched without trials or due process, not cops, To accuse a predominantly black and totally peaceful group of citizens calling for due process of acting like a bunch of white racist killers. Freud would certainly have understood the word choice of lynch mob and the feelings it bespoke.

We don't have to use names on this forum to figure out who wrote THAT.

I don't know who the TOTV author is but it sounds like Al Sharpton in sprit.

Looks like someone else is calling a spade a spade. I like it!

The lesson is don't run from cops because they are your friends and only have your best interest at heart.

What happened to Freddie Gray in Baltimore? - CSMonitor.com

excuse me, but we are supposed to take the christian science monitor as 'gospell ?

Take 100 people here in TV in separate incidents. When confronted with police coming toward them, how many would turn and run or leave?

After the police identify themselves and yell stop how many would still flee or continue to flee?

Too many are taking a sympathetic position and claiming who was right and who was wrong.

How about we start with the very positive common sense rule/law/guide line? Do not run from the police!!!!

How about an opinion list of the reason(s) anybody would turn and run from the police?

A reasonable assumption proven day in and day out for 99% of us here in the USA....if you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear.

And of course the media, politicians including those in the WH, special interest groups and radicals will only focus on the 1%. And in that 1% how many would be uneventful if the citizen did not turn and run?

I for one am sick and tired of the undeserved attitude being promoted about those who protect and serve us.

I'm a white guy, I understand why a young black guy living in the inner city might run, might fear the police, might have heard a lot of stories about their friends and relatives who were not treated with the same respect I will be treated. I understand why the guy who got shot in the back and killed in S. Carolina ran. I have been told stories by many a Villager of their adolescent pranks and running from cops. It wasn't expected then that running from a cop was an excuse for them to fire, nor is it acceptable now.

More than 99% of police in America have never needed the "excuse" to fire.

I know this is an ambiguous statement and will be exploited by some few here on this forum.

No it does not mean the 99% do not need the excuse to fire.

It does mean the 99% of police in America do it right. Some of the one percent do it wrong. Some of the one percent do it by mistake. At the one percent level let us not split hairs.

If you don't like one percent....make it two!

Wow. Running while black is another capital offense if you're a tea ******! Give me a break.

The Christian Science Monitor is one of the oldest and most respected publications in the country. And gospel only has one L. The ignorance on this forum is astounding.

I think you confuse racial profiling and criminal profiling. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck it is probably a duck. I'm trying but having a very hard time matching your level of empathy for the group I see rioting in Baltimore.

Some have empathy for the ones who were shot and are dead and can't protest or riot.

I empathize with you since there is an undeserved attitude toward Muslims since 1% of them happen to be radical and several on this forum focus on them. Why can't we just focus on the bad apples and not assume everyone in a certain group are undeserving?
