Ferguson et al.

A lot I could say. Keeping it simple though. Besides passing judgement without ALL the facts is not my thing. You know the great Dr. Martin Luther King put it best when he discussed his dream. Sure most all of y'all are familiar with it. Thing about it is, it doesn't have to be just a dream. It could be reality. It's gonna take a lot of work though.....from Everyone!
From whites & from colored
From men & women
From Jew & Muslim
From Christian & Atheist
From Straights & LBGTs
What I'm basically saying is, it's time to end all the Us vs. Them bullshit! All it does is create more violence & spur on divisions. Quite frankly, I'm fed up with all the division in this world. Someday though it'll be better. At the very least it will once I'm dead & gone.

I say "appears" because all I understand comes from the press. The police officer could be totally justified, but the department is circling the wagons in a PR disaster.
Having served on a jury, I have enormous faith in our system of justice, imperfect as it is (and should be). If the young man had his hands up, the officer in question is a murderer.
No white or black about it.
