Let me think about this.
Here in the area where I live..........
Jose Campos Torres. Intentionally murdered by police. Multiple officers involved. Minimal prosecution.
Randall Webster murdered by police. Multiple officers involved. Minimal prosecution.
Byron Gillium. Murdered by police. No prosecution.
Ida Delaney. Murdered by police. Minimal prosecution.
These were a few examples of what has been going on for years here and across the country. Not all were black. The pattern is the same. When you look at the Freddie Gray case no convictions so far. I bet if me and 5 buddies restrained someone and loaded them up in the back of a van healthy and they got to their destination with a deadly spinal injury these same investigators and jurors could find someone at fault.
What do you expect?
How much of this would we take from a foreign government before we revolted and went to war with them?
At what point do the American people force these officers to follow the laws they are charged with enforcing?
Murdering these officers was wrong as anything else mentioned in this post but where are people expected to draw the line?
What else was going to force progress when peaceful means has proven to be a waste of time?
It is really hard to ignore what pushed these people to this extreme.
The solution. Hold these officers to a higher standard than the average citizen rather than a lower standard. If the public sees they are held accountable they will not revolt. If the officers know that breaking the public's trust will result in serious consequences the blue culture will change.
