    absolutely . Any real change is gonna come from having real solutions on the table . Protests letting out emotion and declaring enough is enough is one thing . But people gotta figure out what they want done .

    we’ve got to change the training the police have , and / or the scope of their powers , and/ or what equipment they have access to.

    Organizing a coalescence from the mob is gonna be a hard task unfortunately IMO.

    meh...

    But then again I’m kinda a F the police kinda guy. HPD isn’t that bad though in comparison. If they find a friendswood cop car though I’d be all about bashing the sh$t out of that.

    unfortunately these incidents were happening with Obama as President.... with the same frequency. you keep making this about leadership instead of the community - it's why nothing has changed on either side.

    The difference could be from the current third degree murder to first degree if they could prove the two knew one another.
    Intent people intent.

    ... was there utopia with Obama as President? IN his 8 years the animosity and incidents between police and minorities didn't change... despite him saying what the black community wanted to hear. i'm sure you're vocal about police reform while not actually wanting to be a cop or have any part of it, but what about community reform?

    pass all the laws you want, prosecute all the cops you want (and they have been convicted repeatedly), put them in the streets if it makes you feel better, but that won't change anything if you don't develop a hardline to violence, assault and self destructive behavior within a community. i don't know about you, but i'm tired of the same old and don't like to see others in pain.

    Get it straight because I was speaking about the candidates. Gun control and the people overseeing the police department in every area of the country is a good start. BTW, you're an *******...

    No one expects a single president to solve the consequences of multiple centuries of bad immoral decisions. However I do not desire a President who isn't going to make things better at all and definitely worse.

    This is beyond the president. You are right in the sense that Trump isn't to blame for the history of actions over the past multiple centuries that got us to this predicament. But also, he ain't helping.

    I apologize for my original post. I thought I had read until the end and didn't realize there was a video as well. He was being his typical a-holish self. It was more of a parody than anything actually serious.

    No wonder people are still upset about this killing. The manner it happened was tantamount to a public execution, made worse by the time it took to extinguish somebody's life.

    I still haven't been able to process this. ****ing unbelievable!

    Man, **** YOU. How about Cops changing and being trained how to deal with people without the shoot first/assault mentality? You are bigot. Go suck on Trump's nuts. He will need you to comfort him in November.

    Lost his job, wife, and hopefully the rest of his life to prison, all because he wouldn't stand the **** up.
