But I have to say, in my 62 years, I've never seen anything quite like this, where radical mobs agitated the murdering of police officers.
These, sadly, won't be the last deaths. In fact, I am worried that we're quite close to seeing something even more shocking in the next few weeks...
Oh please sir explain what exactly black Americans should do? While we get murdered, and have our deaths justified because we weren't "respectful" enough, weren't "quiet" enough", we looked "suspicious". Please tell us exactly what we should do when men,women, and children are seen as threatening for breathing the same air in the vicinity of white people. What exactly should we do when the police are called because we walk about our own neighborhoods? What exactly should we do when anything in our hands could be construed as a weapon? What exactly should we do when so much as lifting our arms is "reaching for a weapon"? What exactly should we do when our children are seen as "older" and more "threatening", though they look no different than other children? What exactly should we do when we can't call for help in an emergency because the police may not see a person in need of help but a criminal? Oh please tell me exactly how should we air our grievances in ways the rest of America will not ignore or rationalize as "whining", "playing the race card", or "being distruptive"? I want here your suggestions.
