I think we can find plenty of instances where the police may have reacted poorly but as we learned in the Michael Brown case until we see all the facts we don't know what happened.  But where the real outrage should be directed is the fact that this weekend more young black men will be killed by other young black men than all the unarmed black men killed by police across the entire country in the last year.  But there's no money to be made by the poverty pimps and race baiters or political points to be scored by Obola/Holder so who cares, right?

Oh and I would point out that we should look at the number of uniformed police officers killed each year during routine traffic stops/arrests and compare that number to the young, unarmed black men killed by police officers.  I think you will find it is no comparison.  But no outrage there either.

When the police act badly lets get all the facts and if indictments are warranted I am all in.  But I will defer to the grand juries and DA's unless the facts scream otherwise.  There is nothing to be gained by resisting arrest except trouble and I don't care what the circumstances when they come at me with guns I am going to do whatever the he!! they tell me to do.  Later is for complaints, etc.  Otherwise there may be no later.
