Yes profile. I hope people do not think police want to lose their job and that they are racist.

African Americans have caused all of this. Cops are so afr aid of being shot that everything is out of control. Just look at the Chicago situation, Chiraq!, cabrini green, Almost as much city devastation as Detroit, and all mostly due to poor African Americans. It's a fact in case anyone wants to call me racist. What got them to this point is irrelevant, they make these choices. It's never the poor whites or Hispanics or Indians in the news here. Just the African americans. In the Chicago area we live in terror of them.

I am really sorry to say, but that is the case. I have no ill will toward anyone and have had many good times with all races. In fact, my best friend in the military was black.

Stop blaming cops for everything...Long story short.

When you feel the need to write that to justify your comment, you should probably re-evaluate the comment you wrote in the first place.

Why do you think a black man with no criminal record whatsoever was the one who pulled this off?

Not long after the previous 2 police shootings, some Nashville cop (with 8 years on the force no less) said probably in jest he would have shot the guy in Minnesota 5 times instead of 4.  Do you think that kind of rhetoric from a cop no less helps the situation when folks are trying to come to terms with why a presumed innocent man got shot in front of his 4 year old? Do you think the black people who have been accosted by him would feel justified that they were right to think it was all unfair after hearing that? Things is police pretty much never get any punishment after cases like those 2 shootings. I expect no less from the latest cases. Worst they will get would be slaps on the wrist. Just watch.

Blacks gangsters  in Chicago kill other blacks in the overwhelming majority of cases not cops or white people so what do you think the latter groups are purportedly scared of? Whats funny about comments like yours is folks like you never stop to realize that even the most dangerous black neighborhoods in Detroit or Chicago you can think of have white people who have lived there all their lives. For proof as clear as day, look no further that a famous celebrity called Eminem. There is no such thing as a pure black neighborhood. In many cases, others live there and have done so for years.

What caused all of this is a historic vicious cycle and to deny this is to fail to see the full picture. Historically, blacks got no justice in this country and then taught their kids to expect none who taught their kids to expect none and onwards till today. I hope I do not have to explain why this is the case.
