Realize you're older now and have found wisdom. Unfortunately wisdom is not recognized by younger generations and it's virtue is distorted or ignored.

Really

Well, whatever the cause I find it really sad that some people seem to look for any excuse to destroy their surroundings. The victims are the residents of the area who have lost access to businesses and a senior center.

I can understand how African Americans are getting a little tired of seeing their brothers, sons, and fathers killed mostly because of their skin color by over-reacting and poorly trained police officers. But then again it is as wrong to paint all law enforcement officers with the same brush it is wrong to do so with all people of any given race.

Not all of the cases involved poorly trained police officers. My son-in-law is a cop and he tells me cops lives matter too. Some of the decisions he has had to make are split second and yes there are some judgmental errors made, no excuses. He once said "walk a mile in my shoes" and maybe you would have a better perception of the dangers we face everyday. AND, those dangers are getting increasingly worse.

I guess it depends on the cop and where they work. Cops are a cross section of society. Many are there for good reasons, to "protect and serve." Some, not so much. Most are good cops, some are not. Some are criminals, most are not.
