Good one. One incident. Millions of viewpoints and judgements about it. Question: If any one of us was confronted with the same situation, what would we have done differently? Let the guy go? Reward him for what he was doing? Not do anything? If I was a cop, I think after this I would drive on by, survive another day, and wait for the day I could retire with a pension. Why enforce any kind of laws when the criminal is the one who ends up getting rewarded? From a higher viewpoint, I would trace back how this guy got to be the way he was in the first place and go about fixing that... Try fixing the educational system, that gives children drugs when they don't behave in school (making them dependent on drugs), allows most of the students to graduate with below A quality grades so they end up having to turn to crime for a living. Or maybe close the borders off where so much of the illegal drugs are coming from. You are right! We need to fix our thoughts to view a more ideal situation for this country instead of reacting negatively to the situation, we need to LOOK at it and see what needs to be done to FIX it. This whole thing about the reason being about racism is BS. If a white guy was doing the same thing, he would be getting the same treatment, only it never would have made the news. ... My thoughts for what they are worth.
I couldn't disagree more, Linda. Black people are simply not treated the same way as white people in this country, period. They never have been and without a lot of work by everyone, we may never see them treated the same as whites in our lifetimes. Additionally, this whole tirade takes away from the intent on this article which is intention.
Thank you for the article, Steven. Thank you for bringing to light the flavor and spin our intentions add to the facts of this case. It is thought provoking and conscious as I expect all of your posts to be and I, for one, appreciate it greatly.
