5 OFFICERS KILLED…..6 WOUNDED….2 CIVILIANS ALSO WOUNDED…..This is so wrong….this is so wrong….this is three terrible days of violence….and he did this because he was upset over the recent killings of two African-Americans….and decided shooting up a peaceful protest because he wanted to kill white police officers….was a good idea?….what in the hell is home coming to?….those officers had families and friends….Alton Sterling and Philando Castile had families and friends….and you think your actions were justifiable?….thank goodness the police caught three males and one female who might be part of your stupid idea….otherwise it could’ve been worse….like Prez Obama said….that was a vicious, calculated and despicable attack…..honestly…..vigilantism is not going to solve any of the problems in the states….I really want to hear what the National Rifle Association has to say about this…..And former Congressman Joe Walsh threatened the Prez on Twitter after the shootings by posting this…. “This is war now. Watch out Obama. Watch out Black Lives Matter punks. Real America is coming after you”….now y’all now he wanted to say another word….instead of punks…and his racist attitude is not helping the already existing racist attitudes back home….thanks to Donald Trump…..and he thinks the reason the shootings happened is because of Obama….no…the reason shit like this happens….is because of the lack of better gun control laws you freak….no wonder you were kicked off the airwaves for racial slurs….can’t he be arrested for threatening the Prez?…..Mark Hughes who was wrongly accused as a suspect is now receiving death threats…..because CNN blasted his face on their network….and he could’ve been shot….and became the next #Hashtag……and while I was typing this….I found out a police officer was shot in a St. Louis suburb…..and one was killed in Baltimore, Maryland…..another shot in Missouri….and one in Georgia…..a man opened fire on a Tennessee highway and they think he was motivated by what happened in Dallas….this violence has to stop….on both sides of the tracks…..police chief Ed Madrano said some police officers are resentful, afraid and are less motivated after the Dallas shootings…. “It’s harder for them to put themselves in the community because they are concerned for their safety and so are their families”….well I hate to say it….but welcome to the other side of the tracks….because those who were innocently or wrongly killed…were worried about their lives….and their families were worried about them…..now that we know Micha Xavier Johnson was an African-American who specifically wanted to kill white officers….we can call this a hate crime….and CNN can finally post the correct photo of the killer….instead of one of an innocent man…..me living outside the box and not having to deal with this on a daily basis….is hard for me to watch….people will come together in times of crisis or disaster and help each other….color doesn’t matter….we are one….and once everything is fine again….we go back to our separate places….if this continues….America will become a Police State…..the camps are already in place….y’all need to find a way to fix this….otherwise….the revolution will not be televised…..it will be recorded on Smartphones…and shone around the world in a nano-second….is that the image you want seen?….and while I was typing this….an active shooter and a bomb threat was reported at a Miami Children’s hospital…..female police officer Nakia Jones was suspended for posting a poignant and very touching video on how some of her colleagues choose to abuse their power….instead of trying to just understand the problem…..maybe she was suspended because of the video….or maybe because she’s black…..or maybe because she’s female….regardless…she’s right….watch the video….it’s all over the net…..and you can try and try and try….but you cannot blame these shootings on the protesters….this was one person’s sick idea…..in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr….. “We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.” …..so please people…find a way to come together…..talk….try to understand each other….the wall Trump talks about building?….it’s being built but not at the Mexican border….we’ve already had one civil war….let’s not have another.
