Thank you, it's just so sad. And now people will use this latest incident to further look away from where the anger stems from. Many murderers today get their motives looked into which they conclude is mental disability. Will they care to look into where this anger stems from and actually do something? Doubt it. Of course I absolutely disagree with killing cops.

The solution is that they need to listen and actually acknowledge that here is a problem with racial profiling and how cops treats people differently. Heck if we go as far back as the OJ case even the cop on trial was caught on tape saying that he targeted black people and at times planted evidence against them. It's a thing. It's the same reason many racists don't like to be called racists, they don't like to acknowledge that part of them because it makes them a bad person. Cops and people like to believe that they're all good cops and that they truly are there to serve the people for your best interest. Acknowledging this completely destroys that serving your country slogan and they hate it. Doesn't mean they're all bad, but when they're bad they're bad and those cops protecting them are also bad.
