This is going to get worse

And I'm going there tomorrow. Not sure I want to now.

It will be somber but life continues. It must continue after tragedy.

I don't have the ability to,ignore that stuff.

nephew is ok.

The police force has it within its power to investigate not only the causes of unwarranted, excessive violence on the part of police officers but also in the community. The NYPD should take the initiative in trying to find ways to help stop the violence that is pretty general in our community.

Little kids from a very young age are schooled in violence. Their heroes in many cases are the so-called "super heroes" whose claims to fame are various forms of violent killing.

We need to change our culture. The NYPD is large, powerful and located in a community that is wealthy, poor, ignorant and well educated (lots of universities with sociology, history and psychology departments to help out). That is why It needs to start the ball rolling on this.. What is making our society so sick?

I don't think the answer is a simple one.

This person was mentally ill and his psychosis would seem to have been exacerbated by the actions of police in some high profile cases where justice has obviously been ignored.

Just because this person was impassioned by police abuse doesn't mean this person represents "the other side" protesting police abuse in general or in specific cases.

I'm sorry for the police and their families too, it is a very
dangerous job. The person who killed them is a psycho
murderer. Not different from Darren Wilson.

I just got in a little scuffle on Facebook and I'm still kind
of fuming. Family who get their news and information from
Fox. bleh.

with the idea that it is "naturally" being promoted as coming from a side. That to me implies that there is no merit to the protest agains Garner and Brown's deaths.


I'd say it is "politically being promoted as coming from a side, not an individual". I'll admit it is foreseeable.

expect?"

Mentally ill people may have more difficulty discerning peaceful protest from mob violence.

Everyone has to be careful to emphasize the peaceful aspect of demonstrations.
