I do too BD. I know why it's happening. I feel the hurt and rage also.

I agree with you Truth violence doesn't solve violence. But I also understand that sometimes when people run out of patients and don't know what to do next they do crazy things. There have been so many shooting of black men that people are acting out in a lot of ways good and bad. I don't believe in the violence at all but I know why it is happening.

Well, we shall see.

What elected officials across this country had better recognize is that this madness – cops killing Unarmed Black men and mostly getting away with it – threatens the safety of ALL Americans. It.Must.Stop.

That said. I do not believe in Violence-for-Violence. That is madness too, IMO.

Yes. I am hurt about the killings. I am angry. And I am all for protesting police actions…but Peacefully. By all means we MUST demand greater accountability of law enforcement. We MUST demand Justice.

But as one writer expressed: "riots aren’t peaceful protests. And blocking interstates and trapping people in their cars is not peaceful protest — it’s threatening and dangerous, especially against the background of people rioting, cops being injured, civilian-on-civilian shootings, and so on."

The truth is, if ever I found myself caught off guard by such an angry gathering I would fear for My safety. And I'm hardly alone in feeling that way.
