    I apologize. I'm just frustrated because there are no good solutions to this problem.

    Maybe both have to look within each other first then come together to solve the problem

    There may or may not be a solution to racism as a whole. But on this more specific matter, some police departments have instituted "best practices" and seen the number of such incidents decrease and the relationship with the various communities they serve improve. I don't buy the "just throwing your hands up" thing.

    That is why I have not posted here. I want to have some sort of solution but I have none. One day I have really strong feelings about the police and feel they are fighting an uphill battle where they cannot do the right thing. Then I see video of someone on the ground clearly unarmed get shot and I do not know what the Hell is going on. (Oh yeah, he was aiming at the autistic man with the toy truck and missed.) HUH?!!?
    I do think that the press AND the protesters/rioters should at least wait until all the facts are in.
