    ^yeah I believe in sensible background checks but sounds like CA has definitely gone off the deep. Timothy McV didn't need guns to carry out his agenda...

    Totally abhorrent. Not a fan of law enforsement due to some personal experiences but I couldn't justify this act on any level. Shooting someone because of their uniform is no different than shooting someone because of their race. Violence and hatred only breed more of the same. I can't get Elvis Costellos song "What's so funny about peacr love and understanding" out of my head today.

    Duh? Who funds BLM? Who's stirring the pot to make all these people angry enough to go out and kill cops? What do you think I've been talkin about when Obama blames the police and not these radicalized racist?
    The statistics of police brutality and white on black violence doesn't warrant this level of hatred towards cops and racism. This level of hatred and racism is not some grass roots uprising. If it was where's the KKK and neo-Nazi organizations at these BLM events?

    This is a sad day and one that could prove to be pivot point in racial divide within this country. My brother-in-law is black and resides in Sturbridge, MA. He is a parole officer in CT. Most of his family he distances himself from as he as no respect for them. Most are not reputable citizens... When he was young his mom was never around so it was just his brothers and sister looking out for him(which they obviously weren't). He befriended a white plumber in his neighborhood that took him under his wing, showed him a thing or two about plumbing and more importantly taught him good character attributes. They are still friends to this day and he will always say that he was instrumental in his upbringing. Doesn't look for handouts, works hard for a living. Class guy.

    Racial profiling does exist. Any of our New England friends will tell you that Sturbridge is a upper class white community with an all white police dept. For two years my brother-in-law was profiled by police as he drove home each night. Cops often following him into his neighborhood and a few times stopped directly in front of his house and peered at him as he pulled into the driveway. Once it was with my niece and nephew in the car. That set him off. He went down to the police station and had a heart to heart with the chief. The profiling eventually stopped but left a scar that he will never forget. The look in his eyes when he tells the story is words in of itself. But he took it upon himself to resolve peacefully....

    I read on this post that someone said we need solutions and not finger pointing. I agree. I sit on the board of directors for the local Boys and Girls Club. Our kids live in rough communities, mostly black, and have little hope of a good life. They look at the police as enemies. Well a couple of years ago we started an annual football game between the local police and firemen, with our kids playing alongside on each team. That one event has done more for race relations in our local community then any other endeavor tried before. Our kids now waive at the cop cars when they drive down the road, some now know each other by first name. A simple event like this can have a huge impact. I realized a long time ago that we probably can't help their parents but we can help and change the minds of these kids. You have to start somewhere and while it won't solve all of our race problems, it's a start. I would encourage each of you to reach out to your local clubs, policy makers, police chiefs and anyone else who would want to get involved. Maybe even try being a big brother. Are we all busy? Yeah we are, but if we don't take the time to help fix the problem things will only get worse. God bless!

    The cops killed the suspect with a robot. A robot with a bomb stuck to it. The first time that a robot was used to deliver lethal force by domestic police.

    so there's that

    We could only wish for someone to take responsibility of their own actions in this world. It's always someone else's fault.

    Good that they killed him. But I would have preferred torture, disembowlment, then drawn and quartered.

    So the US Gov. and Military had nothing to do with Nagasaki and Hiroshima? It was all the doing of Brigadier General Paul W. Tibbets and Major General Charles Sweeney.
    You sir are a Simpleton.

    I told my cousin a few years ago we are heading to a civil war and it ain't the north and south...race war. This was right before Furguson. I thought Furguson was the tinder. Now, I'm way more suspect. Sh could get crazy real quick. Especially in da metro areas. Ya'll be safe.
