    Every incident of police abuse of power stands on its own merit because we're too stupid to remember the last abuse of power. LOL Derp.

    He’s an awful human being,I agree. He didn’t commit murder though.

    Sure he didn't. It's natural for non-murderers to go full white supremacist after they've acquitted.

    Just like the cops in Ferguson were just "doing their jobs" when they locked down a whole town with racist policing. Just another coincidence.

    You’ve got issues with sticking with the facts of the actual cases. Seek help.

    Again Zimmerman is was and will always be a piece of ****. Didn’t commit murder as much as you’d like to believe it.

    At least after EVERY SHOOTING!!!
    IF we can drug test every athlete after various events
    why not cops?

    Test for Steroids, Alcohol and drugs.

    Those examples are only a handful of some of things my family has experienced. We could literally write a book, but we are hardly unique in that aspect. We don't react the way we do to try to rally for change.....its more a defense mechanism. We are simply trying to survive. There isn't really a historical precedent for change because this has been going on, in various forms, as long as anybody can remember.

    Unfortunately, when always on the defensive, things won't ever change in your mind even if they actually do in reality. The reality today is that several of the high profile cases are not examples of what your family has endured, They are manufactured by distortion of fact not aimed at justice but for vengeance for past unrelated wrongdoing. That's no way to heal, my friend.

    I'm not sure how you are qualified to lecture other people about their reality and what they face. It's strange when someone who hasn't walked a mile in the shoes of others knows exactly the reality and that their perception can't change because they are defensive.

    Maybe.....but that's what happens when you don't treat people with basic humanity.

    WELL . . . .. . . . that says alot about your sir

    You think hunting down a 16 yr old kid
    Disobeying police orders
    Initiating a fight . . .then killing the person because you are losing . . . is not Murder

    That says an AWEFUL LOT

    That's your distorted view of what happened that failed to hold up in court. It says more about you that you can't separate fact from fiction.

    And doing the same to police officers of all races in today's societal climate does nothing to promote change. It draws more lines in the mud.

    I guess I could say the same about you and others who do the same when they haven’t walked a mile in a police officers shoes and the reality they face encountering criminals like Michael Brown. Being defensive is why many can’t be opened minded to reality.

    Michael Brown was a criminal. Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman are both piece of **** losers.

    The officer who killed Eric Garner in NY should be in jail.

    They are not all the same situation.

    Upholding public servants to professional standards in their job is the duty of citizens. I also agree with recognizing them for their service and being appreciative.
