LZ Granderson's "I Am Tired" article (full)

[good samaritan]

I wonder how many police have lost their lives over the years. The truth is every time an officer is dispatched to a scene he can already know that the people there are not in favor of him. As already has been said, we have trust issues and most don't care for law enforcement.
I believe that there are good people and bad people in every line of work.(law enforcement included.) I can't assume all police are bad because of isolated events. I can't assume that a race of people are all bad because of isolated events. In order for these communities to have a transformation both sides will have to do their part.

Tear down their prejudices

I tired of jd and others making a big deal about blacks getting killed but ignoring whites getting killed in the same manner.ps Chicago is over 40 murders by blacks on blacks already this year ,no one says anything ! but white on black ?oh babay now that's reason for an fbi investigation ! total farce and racist !

I totally agree with the body cameras and 365 degree cameras on top of the vehicles.Its not just a white cop against black citizen thing.Ive had a scary run in with a cop over just a innocent wrong turn before and I know first hand how frightening it can be.

Funny how people just believe stuff without knowing the facts. Listened to friend with young man that was shot, his story didn't make sense. Hopefully, more info will come out to some light on what really happened.
